What they do is such a huge part of the game. They need to make up a statistic for it so that casual fans can appreciate it more and so they have more coverage in analysis. Could maybe increase their pay too someday.

@@KingHarambe_RIP Left Tackles are already highest paid position on offense. But I agree.

@@piccilo72 Other than Qb you mean. Not that I they 100% should be

yo that play in that football game looks like one of them videos of those plays from those football games on the internet

Karma came back to bite him in the form of Troy Polamalu! 👍

Lol I know, he is such a chad.

McAfee is the best.

He’s so talented though. Maybe he should have his own podcast.

Phil Simms would make those comments all the time and that’s why he got fired

@@ShayBurgman from what? Cause he's still all over the place

@@ShayBurgman wait is that some disrespect?

@@darkstar4450 nah its just his job to know these things.

@@ShayBurgman some might say he got a promotion now that he doesn't have to travel.

0:47

Why? It was a great call, by the best coach of all time executed by the best player of all time.

I dont know about "disrespectful", but I am curious what the point was of a sneak punt on 3rd and 10 with 3 mins in the game while holding a 5 score lead

IIRC the wind was strong that day, so the field goal wasn't a gimmie.

it was a long field goal they didnt want to risk missing it

@@whaduzitmatr it was only 48 yards

@@meandmygolfclub8123 idk thats what the announcers even said, 48 yard fgs are not automatic

Really really dumb comment here. Maybe because they film The field and not up in the air where the ball is..

I was surprised how many players can't keep track of where the ball is...

How do those things work 🤔

They’re not super common, but sometimes (especially in games youre winning” forgoing the 3rd down on 3rd and long and doing whats called a “quick punt” is an effective way of pinning your opponent back, because there won’t be a punt returner.

Really, you could punt on first down if you wanted to, there’s no rules saying you have to punt on 4th down specifically

It was really bad winds that game

@@dsportshighlights3417 Okay thank you, I was really confused

You and me both. Honestly just embarrassing for the punting team.

They do, but it’s always possible that your punter fucked up, and watching and focusing the returner is the best wag to efficiently get down field and make a tackle

@@Prsethsun … except when it isn’t ;) which makes for great entertainment.

@@zrtgvbnjkop Yes, exactly, which is why 1% of the time it can backfire, but statistically, plays like the ones in the video have only happened like 3 times ever

Think of it this way. When you’re punting, you’re switching to defense, yeah? Ans you want to make a tackle as far back as possible, or secure the ball, with blockers on the field you have to watch out for. Would it be smarter to run slower, looking in the sky for a ball you can’t see well because it’s sky high, and then get blasted by a blocker, or run full speed towards where the kick returner is, where you know that ball is going 99% of the time

@@Prsethsun I guess this is an American Football thing with the blockers tackling off the ball. Because in Rugby the same can be said about moving to defence and wanting to tackle high up the pitch but you watch the ball because you don't need to worry about getting blasted. Interesting how very similar sports are so different.

I’m thinking the same thing. Will never understand how this play works at all

Same thing for me. How is it possible that the players don't look ball's trajectory?

@@Prsethsun Yeah, I get you dont wanna be looking up in the sky while your running downfield. And that without some other instructions, you're most likely gonna react to what's happening in front of you. So if the receiving team starts drifting left, you would go left too (or vice-versa). That's exactly why I would huddle up briefly and tell my guys, "I'm kicking it to the right", so matter which way the blockers set up, my guys are going to go right. That way we dont fall for that stupid shit. And if they do try it, they'll be screwed. It wouldnt be that hard to do a quick huddle first.

Gunner #7 catches the ball just off the screen low

Same as in 1:06 play. Punt returner goes to opposite sideline as the punt, draws opponents attention to him, while his teammate runs below the ball, catches it and makes a return.

I guess he has like 3 punts. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ieCRlpBo38CZZ6M.html Not bombs, but very good form

@@floridaboz1 and all pretty good ones geez

Yeah man, Tom and Big Ben are semi famous for their 3rd down quick punts

They lost that game by 3

I dont understand why you dont wanna take those esay 3 points and then kick the ball inside the 20??? especially if you are only in 2nd quarter and down by 3???

risk reward

Because they didn’t show the videos of the failed attempts

It fails often, and if teams did it so often, it would be expected to be a trick play every time which takes away the trick part

Your poor eyes😳

Yes, but you never know if your punter fucked up, and you can’t be looking 200 feet in the air with other super athletes running at you to deliver the pain train

I'd spend 10 seconds first making sure I told all my guys which side of the field I'm gonna punt the ball to. And I'd do that 100% of the time. Cuz champions don't do 99%.

@@joeroscoe3708 Well dude, no shit they know where the ball is SUPPOSED to go, but punters make errors and occasionally boot it to the wrong spot, which is why they know where its going 99% of the time. Thats why this fake is effective, it relies on the possibility of human error

@@Prsethsun Well, obviously you can't _plan_ on a punter fucking up, right? You have to _plan_ on him doing his job. So, when this play happens (and it works out for the rec'v team)... Do you think it's due to human error by the punter? Or... Do you think the receiving team _plans_ to do it? Since it can't be both. Which is it? Obviously the answer is...the recieving team plans to do it. But it wouldn't work if everyone on the kicking team _knew_ exactly where the ball was going. Would it? No, it would not. So why not take 10 seconds to make sure everyone knows where youre gonna kick it? And if you don't think nfl punters can kick the ball exactly where they want to, you should check out some nfl punting practices. Those guys can drop it in a garbage can from 65 yards away. And if they do happen to shank it, the whole rec'v team isn't gonna know to automatically sprint into the fake play. They wouldn't really know he shanked it til after anyway.

@@joeroscoe3708 Trust me, I have crazy respect for punters, those dudes are nuts with what they can do with a football, and you’re absolutely right, receiving teams purposefully plan this fake. The reason this fake works, is of course the punting team knows “Okay, it’s punt right so the ball is supposed to go right” and in practice, they’re going to practice blindly sprinting to where the returner is or where the ball is supposed to go. They PRACTICE watching where the returner goes, regardless of the play call because they know thats where the ball has to be going 99% of the time, that way even if the punter manages to somehow fuck up, they still have an idea of where the ball is going. They practice following where the returner goes. So when the returner goes the wrong way on purpose, the punt team is gonna figure thats where the ball is going regardless of what they originally play called

@@joeroscoe3708 And if you still think thats wrong, the proof is in the pudding of these fakes that these return teams ran, they all flow to where the returner is regardless of the playcall, which is why they worked. Of course a few players, generally the punter and long snapper were like “Oh shit, its a fake!” But not the guys sprinting down field

Supposedly it was really windy that game, or something along that lines

Finally someone said it why didn’t they at least try to get the 3 points also???

@@CrYpTiCGoku Of course. Or just go for it. Football is kind of a dumb sport full of mostly dumb people.

A defensive linemen was in position to block/ force a fumble

No, the coach had points on the game.

Supposedly it was super windy that game or something

Trips on his lips.

ya but if they miss the field goal the other team gets the ball where they went for the field goal instead of at the 10 yard line

it was windy

You don’t play or watch football much do ya

@@Prsethsun I have played before and watch loads.

Yeah, because running forward and looking 200 feet into the sky with super athletes sprinting at you to blast you off your feet is a better idea

@@Prsethsun it isn’t as if your head is on an articulating joint is it. What a load of bill shit. Rugby League and Union manage it. Just the padded ones can’t manage it? Bollocks.

Thats okay, this is a misconception a lot of people who don’t know football have, and as someone who does play American Football Ill explain. When you punt the ball to the other team, your goal is to tackle the punt returner (the guy who catches the ball and runs) as far back as you can, or secure the football. The other team is going to have blockers trying to block for said returner. So if you’re running, trying to keep track of a ball thats like 200 feet in the air, you’re running slower probably for one, and you’re likely to get absolutely blasted by someone on the opposing team. Whereas its much easier to sprint full speed ahead at where the returner is, because you know thats where the ball is going 99% of the time. It’s the same as say, walking across a road, at a non-crosswalk, looking into the sky with oncoming teaffic

Not seeing the exact angle it comes off the foot, especially if youre engaged with another beefy 300 pound lineman, isnt too unreasonable. Add on that wind could make a kick move in the air too and its reasonable most players wouldnt be able to directly tell where the ball is overhead

The kicking team won’t be looking at the sky to see where the punt is, It would be hard to just look up in a split second, i’d they look up to look for the ball, they’d lose speed or focus on the game. The only one who really knows is the kicker and the returner. The rest are just following the people they think know.

@getonthecrosanddontlokback No, I was just talking to Jessie last week and he said him and his dad have never had anything to do with any living creature other than hanging out at the same bars and strip clubs along with the occasional pavement princess we humans do.

No, the Tom Brady one was a fake pass/actual punt, and 3 of them were tricks on the punt return.
