15:40 Yes Daz. Some QBs were/are notorious for "getting their receivers killed" by throwing the ball and leading them into a potential big hit. Used to be a time in the NFL that receivers' toughness was judged by their willingness to go across the middle, in heavy traffic, to catch a pass.

Hitting high is fine, it's about helmet to helmet and if they're hit too hard from a blind side, among other things. Rules have changed based on injury statistics for different types of collisions.

When I was in England to watch the Philadelphia Eagles play, the taxi cab driver told me that “American Football is rubbish”. Hopefully he watches this and realize that just because we use pads, the hits are absolutely brutal.

If Dave and Mike r going to watch football just let them watch this season then they can pick which team they like

If a receiver doesn't extend his arms far enough to catch the ball because he's afraid of the hit that's coming, they used to say he has alligator arms. Haven't heard that in a while though.

The idea of a hospital pass is very well known and receivers and running backs will definitely let a QB know if they’re putting their passes in really dangerous spots.

Strange thing about hits, those who played can confirm, often times the ones that seem so brutal on film don't really hurt that bad. And, somehow the ones that don't look like much on film are the ones that wreck you.

On many of these hits, the guy was KOd. One sure-tell sign someone is KO'd is when they are laying stiff on their back and have their hands up by their chest like a boxer with his gloves up. It's a common phenomenon when someone gets KOd.

Played for 3 years growing up. It's always the one you don't see that will knock you flying through the air. One time a dude from the opposite side of the field caught me slipping after a double reverse. As I pointed at the runner and yelled "reverse!" a blocker I hadn't seen just tore through me from my left shoulder blind spot. He was shorter than me and running full speed, and when I slowed down to change direction, he caught me with my feet off the ground as I made a shuffle step. The result was me, a defensive end, getting elevated and cartwheeled in the air with my feet in the night sky. If you're lucky, you get to hear and comprehend the hoots and hollers from the sidelines. If you're not lucky, you don't hear anything for a couple minutes. It's a tough game, we start playing it full-contact at 10, and the helmet gives you a false sense of durability that encourages more confident aggression. By the time we get to high school, we've already had 3-4 years of competitive full-tilt combat football training and experience...and then it gets REAL serious. It's no wonder why so many of us end up with wrecked bodies by the time we enter the job market. Football culture in America, particularly in Texas, the South, and the East, is so pervasive and immersive that any tall, strong young boy is often casually or overtly groomed for the game. Whole families play for generations at the same schools sometimes.

In hockey we call it a suicide pass but it's when you lead your player into a monster hit

I like the videos with the original sound better than the ones with music. I think when you hear the crash of the pads and the 'ooohhh!' of the crowds, it gives you a better sense of just how hard these hits are.

That's what makes these hits so high impact is that you have to go 100% all the time. If you're not going all out, you're gonna get hurt

Receivers will sometimes get edgy with a QB who lays them out with a pass, especially over the middle. A really good QB can sometimes throw it where it will lead the receiver away from a big hit, or throw it low where the receiver has to go down for it and avoid getting cut in half.

You can often tell if they're knocked out by the "fencing pose." Its some kind of vital response when people get knocked out but its where both arms go rigid, usually one or both arms up to cover the torso. Other one will sometimes go straight out

I was told "you can be the hammer or you can be the nail." And that's the mentality.

Omfg I missed the nfl reactions from y’all

We have the same concept of hospital passes in American football. Usually a throw across the middle of the field where the linebackers and strong safeties are (the hardest hitters normally)

For your question about who is the most “look out for that guy” person on the defense, office bloke Daz is right, it’s mostly everyone and that’s why coaches always say to “keep your head on a swivel” because anyone can come from anywhere.

Mike should not b a cowboys fan, NOBODY should b a cowboys fan!

Most of these were followed up with a penalty flag. The players now can be ejected and to top that off, they get a call the next day informing them they just donated thousands of dollars to their favorite charity.

The Kam Chancellor hit at 06:45 was completely legal and a GREAT hit.

At 10:40 when the receivers arms are locked at 90 degrees that usually indicates they’ve been knocked out.

12:20 responding to Dave, more often than not its bcuz 1 has braced for the impact while the other is trying to catch the ball or trying to avoid the hit, offensively most the time u aren't looking to deliver a hit when defensively u r always looking to deliver a hit, so the defender looking to run through u when the offensive player often looking to avoid it or at the very least isn't looking to deliver a big hit

I thought Dave already had a team. He's been wearing a Browns helmet every day on the channel since the beginning.

NFL Brutal hits...Joe Theismann , "hold my beer."

Chiefs always welcome new fans. You won't regret following them.

Glad to have made it back on ur channel! Luv the nfl and sport reactions

You guys should watch James Vincent’s video on George Kittle, ya’ll will LOVE his play and personality

Have you heard of “ alligator arms? “ it’s a receiver going across the middle full speed, see’s a defensive back. Decides discretion is the better part of valor, pulls up, covers up to not die.

You guys should definitely watch "The Rules of the NFL" it a 6 min video on Nihn Ly KZfaq channel. Does a great job with making the basics easy to digest. Edit: And he's a brit to boot lol.

Your teams shouldn’t be picked at random, watch the season and/or come visit the USA then choose. I ended up getting drunk with a Welshman in Japan while a Swans match was on… it was probably the worst sports investment of my life but 15 years later and I’m still in the Jack Army.

Thank god it’s football season!!!! Y’all gotta react to the best “this is sports center” commercials

The first time I got a double hit, one second apart from different angles...I knew I had no future in the sport. I had no air in my lungs and your bones and muscles are pulled in different directions with unimaginable force. The last thing on your mind at that point is the ball.

I saw a college player who been ejected twice for "targeting" (helmet to helmet) and the other teams always stayed away from him. You get a reputation for being brutal and extra rough and people don't mess with you as much.

Few of these were also in the "Here Comes the Boom!" vid.

NFL Pre-season started this weekend. Proper games start Sep 9th.

The Buffalo Bills have the only English player in the NFL on their team (Christian Wade). Plus, they've never won a Super Bowl, and are suppose to be pretty good this year. One of you guys should become a Bills fan and join the Bills "Mafia". They have some of the craziest, passionate, loyal fans in all of sports.

(American) Football is about to be on us friends. I would LOVE it if the lads tuned into the season and made content around that. Convert all three of these guys to being Packers fans!

So you know in boxing they say “protect yourself at all times.” On the football field first rule is “keep your head on a swivel.”

QB’s are usually leading receivers on a planned route so they throw where they should be in that route. So sometimes there’s no avoiding it but other times yeah they throw to you when there’s obvious threats to the receiver and hope for the best. Which can be a bad day for him when he’s just focused on bringing the ball in

They gotta keep doing more NFL

5:35 it looked high because it was high. Based on the footage I’m guessing that was from the 90’s when a lot of these rules about hitting people weren’t used yet. Brutal.

As a former player the physics is important, the player going faster is the hitter the player going slower is the hittee

If you stood next to some of these dudes being ragdolled, they'd be some of the biggest dudes you've ever seen. Let that sink in real quick.

The general rule of tackling as any contact above the head or neck area of a "defenseless" player is an automatic penalty. Or if you lunge toward another player with the crown (top) of your own helmet it is also considered a penalty. Furthermore you cannot tackle low while another defender is tackling the same player high. All of which are penalties.

One of the biggest newer rule is hits on defenseless receivers. Receiver going up for a ball and can't protect himself and you can't blast him. Many of these hits are on defenseless receivers

It is so much different when you go to a game in person and see how fast a 300+ pound guy can actually be film does not do it justice.

The guy in the middle can be a 49'er fan! Helmets are vastly improved!

Ya back when I played and to this day when a QB puts it in a bad spot where he's leading the receiver in to a hit we always called it "hanging him out to dry", just leaving him vunerable to get blasted.

Before the development of better padding and rule changes. There were 15 players killed in just one season of college football during the early 1900s. One of them was Teddy Roosevelt’s nephew. Just a random fact for you on how forceful the game is. His son also lost his front teeth playing as well.

It's been said Rugby is a contact sport and American style football is a collision sport.

Mike would be a perfect Steelers fan

It’s all about them Broncos 🔥🔥

As qn American that played this sport from the time I was 4 until 20 years old. You really don't think about getting hurt or being careful or any of that,you just play and you hit as hard as you can and make sure you're not the one backing down

That one single hit on Brady is why you rarely ever see him leave the pocket.

I had a homie who played Football his whole life until he went to prison for murder and he told me that when they played, (at least in high school) there goal was to get an ambulance to come and take someone out of the stadium and be like 'That was me, I did that'.

One time I was on the return team for an onside kick. The kicker kicked a perfect ball, it literally couldn't have had a better bounce. It bounced like 10 feet in the air and I had to jump to catch the ball. The thing was there was like 4 guys coming full speed so my reaction was to catch the ball and turn around mid-air. I got smashed but I held on to the ball and we won the game :)

When the quarterback throws the ball to middle or a little hight and the receiver gets destroyed , they call it hanging the reciever out to dry , and they hate it

I played football and it was the next day when you woke up that you found out where all your injuries, bumps, and bruises are.

I’m gonna start a campaign to make you a panthers fan. Cmon blokes! Dave I know you said you like the North Carolina accent in one of your videos 🤣

its not even just the hits, its the way they land as well...extra whiplash to the already given whiplash. oof, thats why football is the one of the few sports where I don't complain about players getting whatever contracts they can. their career can be over in a hit

Would be cool to see you guys react to biggest truck hits in the nfl or stiff arms. Maybe even Just derick henry hes a beast! You get to see people with the ball hit back lol

6:53 was the last time Brady ever tried to run the ball 😂😂

It's all about being planted to the ground and the runner has his legs in the air on his toes. To set up and be planted you have 10 times the leverage as somebody running

Hey guys try and find some compilation videos of the steel curtain Pittsburgh Steelers, the purple people eater Minnesota Vikings, the 85 Chicago Bears, the 2000 Baltimore ravens, the 2002 Tampa Bay buccaneers, and the legion of boom Seattle Seahawks, these defenses were the most feared and brutal defensive units in the history of professional football. you won’t be disappointed.

There's a thing called "alligator arms" in football. When a receiver runs down the field and the quarterback floats the ball out to him and the receiver hears the footsteps coming, his arms suddenly get really short as he anticipates the hit.

NFL has changed the rules: No helmet to helmet, No grabbing the back of the jersey to pull the player sown, and the QB runs and when he starts his slide you can't hit him. Besides to avoid injuries then men make MILLIONS today. Running back avg 3.5 years playing, remember they run/catch the ball aprox 25 times a game. When I was young all that stuff and more was allowed. But players were 20-30 lbs lighter.

the thing Im not sure you get about alot these hits, even the old ones, is that they cut away before you see a flag thrown, most of these are not legal hits, they are illegal, their just entertaining so they compiled them.

I played WR in high school !! Getting hit SUCKS !!! Also a receiver has to touch the ball before the defensive player hits them or it's pass interference

As someone who has played football for 15+ years there are a couple of these a game i am lucky enough to play the safest position on the field but it still can happen to anyone

And the biggest thing you learn playing football growing up is "bring the hammer". If you shy from contact you're gonna get hurt. If you initiate contact you will win 90% of the time even if they are bigger.

I played football -- until that first big hit came in and I was like "fuck this" and went back to watching it.

A lot of these hits are illegal now when they would have been ok a decade or so ago. After it became common knowledge that a lot of retired NFL players were suffering severe neurological problems, the NFL decided it had to try and at least make it look like they cared about the health of its players. I'd be interested to see what the research says in 10-20 years about whether these rule changes are doing anything to reduce instances of CTE.

I love football season even the preseason games 👊🏼

You'll have the players that are conscious of the the big hit, those are the ones that get "alligator arms" and miss the ball to protect themselves. From "pee-wee"(6-10yrs) football to college you're coached to ignore it or else your manhood is called into question. It looks great when you can catch it and bounce right back up, but it takes its toll. 15 confirmed concussions and countless others ignored for the "Team". Great sport, loved every bit about it, just wished we had the protocols(and science) that they have now. Because right now, feeling 50 when you're 35 isn't fun.

The video should be called Welcome to the Land of Concussions

Back n the day they had a segment called JACKED UP, highlights of all the biggest hits of the week, this was b4 they told everyone that banging ur heads together for years could have serious consequences on ur mental health later on n life... but it was a fun segment to watch

When you guys are talking about a WR getting hit cause of a bad pass from the QB, you're actually talking about a Hospital pass. A bad pass that leads the WR into a big hit. One of them was in this video and there are a few video compilations of those types of passes on KZfaq if you want to react to them.

On defense, the farther from the line of scrimmage you go, the lighter and quicker the players are, generally speaking. And the farther back in time you go, the bigger the shoulder pads (till you get to around 1960).

The only thing that gets me is when guys get called for targeting when all they did was run in to make the tackle and the ball carrier is the one who lowers the head and ends up getting hit in his head cause he lowered his head and then somehow the defensive guy is the one who gets penalized.

Best hit I’ve ever seen is still JuJu Smith on Burfict. Pure redemption

well done on a quality vid, guys!

The wide receivers know it's coming, they just got balls of steel.

You guys are awesome. Many, many rules have been changed for the safety of the game. Wonder if you ever saw a hockey game and can figure out why the rule book in hockey when from 72 pages to over 200. Small hint it has something to do with the Broad Street Bullies, as they were named. GL

I love the content! Greatest Interceptions would be a good reaction as well.

I see some footage with my hometown team, the Indianapolis Colts! I actually live really close to their training center. I can drive there from my apartment in 2-3 minutes. I’ve seen some of the players at nearby stores when go shopping but I don’t bother them to get autographs because I respect their privacy. Go Colts!

@ 4:11 where his arms are stiff straight up that is TRAUMA big time

Getting blind side hit in football is like getting into a car crash.

Its called the exact same thing in american football. "Hospital pass" is where the QB throws a bad pass for the receiver and puts him in danger of getting hit defenselessly if thats a word.

Yes the rules have definitely changed . One reason why is the recent discovery of a brain nurelogical disease caused by brutal hits called "CTE- Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy ".

Dave should be a bears fan as he looks like their starting QB

Dave looks like a Philly or GB fan, the hair goes good with green, good call Mike.

We will accept you into Bills Mafia, if you need a fanbase. Our bars are open until 4am and we love to be rowdy!

There's a rule in the NFL where you can't hit an unprotected receiver, which more or less makes a hit on a receiver in the process of making a catch illegal if he's hit blindly while making a catch. Subjective, but many of the hits on this video were or are now illegal.

That hit at 9:35 messed him up for his career. He came in as one of the best in the league. He never played another complete season and retired after a few years from constant migraines.

Ok my suggestion react to John Randle undrafted defensive tackle fir the MN Vikings who made it into the Hall of Fame. He knew how to get in your head, and was so good. Only time a QB has been ejected (that I'm aware of) because he got in his head and he reacted without thinking.

@OfficeBlokeDaz There are plenty of "hospital passes" thrown in American football. Cheers mate

They knew what they signed up for

Check out the videos on Jack Lambert. He was one of the most feared players to ever play the game.

We call them hospital passes in American football too
