"I think this sport is ...SO INCREDIBLY VIOLENT!" ***raises wine glass*** LOL.
Lmaooo it's a whole mood
Super Bowl coming!
The changes the rules because of the hits
@@CourtneyCoulston not knocking on you bc of course you don't know much on the sport bc of obvious reason's. But today's football is a bunch of pansies compared to what it was say in the 80s or 70s. I would love to see you react to those old school good ole hits.
@@CourtneyCoulston Leading with the helmet is a big "No no." They've been trying to crack down on it for years. Big fines and suspensions have happened.
You know it's a bad sign when the opposing team starts waving for the medics, and then start praying for the guy who was hit! (Morally, it's a good thing, medically, not so much.)
If you're talking about the Steelers Ravens game, even worse so because they are pretty big rivals
The Lawrence Taylor/Joe Theisman hit always comes to mind whenever that happens.
@@camaro2390: Yeah, that was bad. Real bad. Not as bad as the Dennis Byrd hit. That one freaked everyone out.
@@wonkothesane8691 No question, there!
Don't watch career ending injuries. I don't think you'll survive. 😁
lmao I legitimately don't think I could. It would just be me covering my eyes the whole time and then probably crying haha!
@@CourtneyCoulston it's Okay if I Only I was there to Comfort u & give u a big Warm Hug!!! 😍😘🙌💯🔥🔥🔥
Seriously, don't!
@@NVKyleBrown I Can & I Will! 😈😂
Especially the old school hit from the 1970s where Oakland Raiders safety Jack Tatum paralyzed New England Patriots WR Darryl Stingley on a crossing route.
🤣🤣 “ The worst part is seeing men go limp” 🤣🤣
Michael Charlesworth She probably doesn’t have that problem imo
Livin Legin definitely not
"Just want to go over and steal them away and hug then..." Never wanted to be knocked out before this video.
hahahahha xD
@@CourtneyCoulstonFYI I think I am out right now.
i swear😅
Right?! If they saw it was her hugging and comforting them I’m sure none of the players would protest too much.
Fr
In the late 1800s and early 1900s people did die, hence the helmets and padding.
That makes sense - so sad! But I'm glad it's been made safer over the years. Even though it's still incredibly brutal haha.
Courtney Coulston College football is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year. There’s a show called College Football 150: The American Game that goes over the history of the game, including the era when football was almost made illegal. They also have episodes on rivalries and other such things.
and no more flying wedges
The helmets today in the NFL are custom made for individual player and space age design.
@@norwegianblue2017 and yet we have so many more concussions now than before
Concussions are frequent in this game. You should watch the movie Concussion, starring Will Smith sometime. Its based on a true story and can give you a good idea about how the NFL knowingly allowed many players to suffer.
That's why I've always said rugby is a contact sport football is a collision sport cause they hit each other with the force of a 30mph car crash
great way to put it
Common misconception about football is that pads are to protect the victim when they’re actually to protect the offender and gives the the ability to hit harder without hurting themselves.
To answer your question about the quarterback sliding or running out of bounds: yes it's because the quarterback isn't supposed to take hits like some of the other players and is supposed to protect himself. A quarterback will often slide to down himself so he can avoid being tackled and It's considered a penalty if someone hits a quarterback while he's clearly in the middle of sliding or if he's going out of bounds since the hit is unnecessary
You want to get the quarterback but they are so fast at throwing the ball it's less likely to get a hit on him
@@lonewolfx499 the most important yes but you cant say the best player on the team when each position is different with each of their own responsibilities
The slide must be feet first, if the dive head first they are considered a runner and the defense can legally light em up as long as it’s a legal hit
@@lonewolfx499 Not to mention entire defenses are trained to "take the QB out." That kind of thing is frowned upon nowadays, but make no mistake, defensive players have it in their DNA.
Highschool: The fast and strong
College: The faster and stronger
NFL: THE Fastest and THE strongest
ACCURATE!!!
retired: dementia and crippled
Blast Furnace at least they have millions
@@maisenbell7717 unless they wasted it all on bullshit, like 80% of them do and be broke after their carreer ends.
Get Stronker oo
"I feel quite upset right now..."
As a Packer fan... yeah, me too.
Especially after the Adams one. Screw you Trevathan
Underrated comment!!!
Go Bears lol
@@itjustforfun6687 bears getting their ass whooped come Sunday.......
Ayeee pac nation baby🔥🔥🔥💚💛💚💛
This video is a clear example of the saying "Football is not a contact sport. It's a collision sport."
Unfortunately, there have been a few who have been paralyzed from violent hits.
Darryl Stingley was paralyzed in a preseason game in 1978. He passed away in 2007 at the age of 55. He had health problems brought on from being a quadriplegic.
You cannot purposely hit with the crown (top) of your helmet.
You also cannot purposely hit a player in the head with a forearm or elbow.
Safety has been a top priority in football for the last few years.
Concussions are very common and are now being taken VERY seriously now.
Back when I played in high school in the early 80s there was no consideration for concussions. They just used smelling salts and sent you back out on the field.
This doesn't happen *that* often, consider how far back they've reached in the archives to get these videos..
Happens a lot bro
Concussions are pretty common but knockout hits are not very common
Concussions happen every game... one of the starting 22 players will hit their heads hard enough during the game to cause it... it's almost guaranteed
It happened in like 2017 the link to the vid ruclips.net/video/LJltQ4bQFoY/видео.html
And concussions are REALLY common, more common than you think
Another gruesome injury here. ruclips.net/video/FCnJT9MOILg/видео.html
@@jam3sbarry198 the only thing tho is most of those are not serious enough to cause them to leave. Hell I think i got one last year my freshman year cuz i was dizzy for a bit.
And fyi, the guy in one of the first parts that gets put to sleep on the ground, he actually suffered irreversible brain damage that continues to impair his judgement and behavior to this day
OMG are you serious :( :(
You aint right lol.... but you aren't wrong either.
You talking about Antonio Brown? If so yeah that hit definitely didn’t help with the pure insanity that’s been going on with him
Courtney Coulston Courtney he’s talking about a guy named Antonio Brown who has turned out to be a gigantic douche.
He was the best player in the game at his position and ruined his career because he’s not a good guy, some people blame his concussions.
@@KyleHurd The more serious injury was to Ryan Shazier.
NFL: Seattle Seahawks
College: Washington Huskies
Also, while injuries are almost a guarantee to at least one player in every game, serious injuries or injuries such as those shown in the video don't happen all that often, thankfully. (:
Watching big hits and "car crash" moments is intense, but the more amazing videos are when they avoid the tackle, or don't get hit at all.
Biggest plays, best jukes, best catches...
my older brother played football from the time he was about 5 until he graduated high school and when i was little we went to one of his games when he was in high school and i saw one of his friends break his neck on that field. he was paralyzed and he still uses a wheelchair but he can walk some. this sport is really dangerous.
The last play that got cut is the play that started Tom Brady's career
Michael Seeney
That’s where the video cut out because the patriots wouldn’t allow it to be shown.
The poor guy wound up losing his spleen if I remember right...
Don't care
People have gotten paralyzed from playing. A recent case is a Steelers player named Ryan Shazier. He was paralyzed by a hit, and went through rehabilitation in order to regain the use of his legs. He’s been back training to play again for the past 2 years I believe, and he has said that he really does want to play again.
"I want this sport to be cancelled" Immediately boycotted in the comments by Americans..lol
MATHHEW TOMPKINS no...
Stack daddy obviously you just HAD to contrary lol
@ 1:30 You Can Hear The Helmet To Helmet Hit
QBs are usually more squishy but some aren’t not hate on QBs though
Sometimes you wish they were more squishy....Sometimes you hope they'll break their leg.... lol
@@unitedwestand5100 Matt Ryan
I need someone as caring and compassionate as you in my life! Anything happens and you want to hug them and make them feel better 😊
I can tell you it is violent enough that if 1 team is winning by enough points they pull the starting players 2 protect them from injury
Well that and or to test out to see how good the back ups are, example being the patriots' thrashing of the dolphins week 3, they pulled Brady, and the back up went in only to throw a pick 6 and they then put Brady back in
The shoulder pads are different... For some positions the large shoulder pads keep the head from moving too much, but the receivers and quarterbacks have smaller pads so they can make throws and catches... So they have less protection.
"Cancelled???" Don't come to America. Those hits are illegal NOW! A few years ago those hits were legal!
Hi Courtney this video was so amazing keep up the good work
Every single NFL team has some of the best medical staffs you will ever find.
I wouldn’t really say that, most nfl doctors just give players opioids and send them back into the game.
@@brendan9868 How do you know this? Have you ever been inside an NFL locker room? Been on the medical staff's recently?
Pug Shorty no but I’ve heard many players talking about the issue including Calvin Johnson, who literally retired because they were trying to make him abuse opioids
Not always. I remember the buccaneers had the quarterback Chris Sims. He took a shot and I'm sitting watching on a 25 inch regular tube TV and I can see the guy is injured badly and needs to be taken out of the game they kept putting them back in. Then they finally took him out and he took an ambulance ride across the street to St Joseph's hospital to have his spleen removed. He had a ruptured spleen and they kept putting him on the damn field. And do you remember the super bowl with RJ green and Washington his knee was completely destroyed that super bowl game. They kept sending him out on the field and he never recovered.
I played a little american football when i was a teenager as a defense linemen and we were trained to keep our neck bent up when we're set because the force of that impact you see at the beginning of each play could seriously injure us or worse
2:27. YES, One of them was in College footbal. Iowa States Jack Trice has died because of playing this sport.
I always laugh when a rugby player is confronted with the FACT that NFL play makes rugby look like a tea party!😂
I always laugh when they think it's more violent and it's not even close
React to Ray Lewis the greatest. He is one of the most best linebackers in football history
will do! Thanks for the recommendation!! ":)
Him and ed Reed were absolute monsters on the ravens
Icy Villain she ain’t ready
John Lynch and Steve Atwater
lmao the fact that shes tipsy and im drunk makes this even funnier
The single most dangerous type of injuries from this sport is by far "helmet-to-helmet' contact.
Don't worry about their income. Most starters have multi-year, multi-million dollar contracts that are fully guaranteed for injury. If they get injured, they get paid while they are out.
This girl amazes me . If she thinks American F B is bad, turn her on to Hockey.
David Johnson hell nah
More people get far more seriously injured in football sorry....
@@mookiestewart3776 hockey players travel at 40mph on skate blades 1/8" thick, wear less padding and land on something quite a lot harder than grass. If more people get seriously injured in football than I don't know what that says about them.
@@benjaminfarias9169 ? For you , what's the Masterton trophy named after , ?
Hockey is ok, boring to watch. Only thing exciting is fights every now and then
Hey Courtney, These players come to Australia and can't believe that we play AFL and NRL without padding and helmets. They call our games insane and dangerous and would never consider playing it cause of the contact etc. I must say, you are such a caring young woman
Certainly the hits go both ways and many injuries are unintentional.
I used to play football when i was younger (in high school), and i had a severe head injury happen in my last game. When the Dr talked to my parents and I he basically said no more playing football. Now i have reoccurring severe headaches from it. I miss playing it because i had fun.
1:04 oh my head hurts, make sure i'm ok. Someone knock me out please.
Also in the last two years, starting with the 2018 season, they have introduced a new space-aged helmet that is supposed to greatly improve head safety. They have these "air slots" in them if you will.
I was too busy staring at her to pay attention to the video she was watching.
As per your question: Yes, concussions happen often, but not TOO often. Let me clarify: In an NFL season, you might expect a few of your guys to be taken out of a game through the course of a season due to a concussion, making them common enough to see. But if you expect to see you team have a concussion every single game? No, not close. And you have a lot of guys in your roster, so as a person to person view, the chances of it might be high enough when we factor in many years, but it isn't that often.
If you want to know about concussions, watch the movie "Concussion" starring Will Smith.
I was at an NFL game in 1992 when New York Jets player Dennis Byrd was injured during a collision with a teammate and ended up paralyzed for life. The game was stopped for twenty minutes while they got him off the field, It was so horrible as everyone in the stadium knew he was very badly injured. It can be a dangerous game, to say the least. Quarterbacks are not fair game if they try to slide to avoid a hit. This is because they are generally not as large as the players who are trying to hit them.
06:38
New Zealand Girl : " I want this sport to be cancelled!"
America : "Never!"
LOL!!! :D
hahahahaha
Never!
In recent seasons they have really cracked down on the helmet to helmet hits and even shoulder pad to helmet hits if they seem it to be targeting to help prevent concusions.
Hey look up Sean Taylor and Ray Lewis or NFL knockout hits of 2019 season
Sean Taylor was no joke...
You forget Ronnie Lott Bill Romonaksi
of the 2019 season? lol Sean Taylor died in like 2009 or something
@@ohioagainsttheworld5453 hey these were not of just the 2019 season
@@ryanweifze3237 I know, just sounded odd.
To answer your questions:
Yes, there were some who were killed on the football field. The only NFL player to die was Charles Hughes in 1971.
As far as replay, there is a replay system that is used in limited capacities (scoring plays, line to gain, changes of possession, complete/incomplete, fumble/down by contact). The replay officials in New York instigate the review on scoring plays and changes of possession, but coaches have two (or a third if the first two were successful) can throw a red flag to challenge a play in other situations. The replay officials are also the only ones to call for a review in the last 2 minutes of each half and in overtime.
As far as concussions, yes, it does happen frequently.
I just discovered your channel. Your reaction at the 2:00 mark made me want to give you a hug and let you know the guy who was hit is okay - and he is still playing today. The 8:00 minute mark reaction made me want to turn off the video and just hug you. Just heart-wrenching to see that reaction.
Yeah and not just the fact that the player from 2:00 is ok,But one of the best WR right now
a few guys have been paralyzed not as many as you think but 1 guy died on the field in the early 1970's Chuck Hughes for Detroit but it wasn't from a hit, it was a heart attack as he was jogging back to the huddle
I'm pretty sure that last clip was Drew Bledsoe, who got his lung pierced that play, as well as broken ribs and other things. Shout out to all the non American's watching NFL hits and saying its not that bad because they have pads on.
This was also arguably the biggest moment in NFL history, when Tom Brady took the field for the first real time, and then became the best QB of all Time!
I have seen that play when Drew was hit and knocked out from the game. Tom came in and over 20 years later Tom Brady still playing. Officials are worried about Tom.
MrTech226 - Tom is also on a big hits compilation getting hit Hard in the head and his helmet flying off. No flag, and he gets right up w no complaints.
I used to watch videos like this alone . Much more fun with 2 people watching / reacting .
Really Choice !
Watch some skill play. "NFL Craziest Catches of All-Time" By Savage Brick Sports
Great idea and recommendation! Thank you!!! :)
@@CourtneyCoulston after the videos you've been watching it would be a good palate cleanser to see some of the more skillful & athletic side of the game. 😁
I'd recommend searching for something like acrobatic/amazing/insane catches. Miraculous plays or Unbelievable game-ending plays. Stuff like that.
I totally agree!
That's awesome thanks for the key words! So excited to watch! :)
I play and have seen teammates get hits that make you break down in a second, but you kinda just learn to get back up and move on, hurts but you work through it.
There’s guys on my own team that when I see em coming at me I know to slow down and back up or they will crush you.
It’s dangerous but boyyyyy is it fun
“I wanna just go over there and hug them and tell them everything’s gonna be ok” They’re not gonna be ok unfortunately. Almost all of them will develop CTE and many could lose their minds in their 40s and 50s. Surely something more can be done to protect the minds of these great athletes. Although they now know the consequences, I still hate how damaging the sport is to the mind.
Ur reactions r so good plz make more
The proper tackle is wrapping your arms around the guy with the ball, THOUGH some defenders know when they can make a big hit,sooooo why not? 😂😂.
Truuuue that!!!! Big facts
They can look at the replay if the coach challenges it. If they win the challenge they get 1 additional challenge and if they lose the challenge it cost them 1 of 3 time out. You can challenge once each half unless you win one and then you can challenge 3 times in 1 game.
Would enjoy having you at our club to watch a game. You are lovely.
Thanks so much for the invite Tim! Where abouts is your club located?
Love your reaction. It’s perfect ❤️
NHL Opening Faceoff Fights by Jens95 👍
Thanks for the recommendation - I have added it to my notes :)
@@CourtneyCoulston For a bit more background, fighting is illegal but isn't at the same time lol it's just part of the culture and they get sent into the penalty box for 5 minutes as a result.
Thanks so much for the insight! Did you watch my NHL Meltdowns video? It was the first time I saw any kind of hockey game and I was SHOOK at how normalized fighting and tantrums are in hockey hahaha. Great stuff though, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
@@CourtneyCoulston Yes I did. The game is self-policing, and has been for over a century. You hit someone from behind into the boards? You'll lose some teeth, and etc. Glad you enjoyed Canada's sweet and innocent past time lol.
Hahahaha daaaamn that's crazy but I love it haha.
When you ask if many of the hits are legal or not, the NFL does have rules in place now that protect what they call "defenseless players". If a player has their back to a defender about to lay a hit, he is considered defenseless, a sliding QB is defenseless, etc.
Mike Utley, a Detroit Lions offensive lineman, suffered a freak neck injury some decades ago, now, that left him paralyzed from the neck down. That's the worst I can remember hearing about. These are unusual occurrences, though long-term, cumulative, brain injury is an issue in the NFL.
holy shitttt. that's awful
There have been some REALLY bad injuries. Recently we've had QB Alex Smith severely break his leg, and LB Ryan Shazier getting temp paralyzed and is just recently walking again
The hit that starts at 5:52 is Steve Atwater a free safety for the Denver Bronco's the game was Super Bowl 32 considered one of the best super bowls up to that year. There are a couple of more videos he is in.
The one at 5:51 was the Green Bay vs. Denver Super Bowl. 1997 I think. I remember that hit because it was one of the hardest in any Super Bowl.
My sophomore year of High school, I was what is called the demo running back, which meant I wasn't on the varsity team, but I could fairly accurately represent the other team's running back. So in practice before that week's game, they would put me in the other team's jersey and have me run against the varsity defense so they knew what to expect. I got 2 concussions in a 12 week span. Coaches only knew about one of them because I was so concussed the second time that I didn't know until I got home. I didnt remember going to school that day
It's the "sudden stop" that causes a concussion. The brain inside the skull keeps moving after the hit, and crashes into the front part of the skull and that's where the damage is done. You are Wonderful.
4:40 How concussions happen: your brain isn't actually attached to your head, rather it's floating around in liquid inside your head. A concussion occurs when the head moves quickly enough to send the brain crashing into the skull (think whiplash so bad your brain feels it, sometimes for months or even years after the fact). Helmet to helmet hits are outlawed in the current NFL partly because of concussions, and partly because of CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy: think mini concussions racking up over a period of time, that never really get the chance to heal). Hope that helps :)
This is such great information, thank you so much for writing this out! This certainly does help :)
I played football from 6th grade thru freshman year of college then played rugby for 5 years after that...i've had 3 serious concussion in football and a few minor ones...never had one in rugby (although i've dislocated both shoulders a combined 6 times)
One of the worst part about concussions in professional sports, is most players try to hide it. Unfortunately if you do get a concussion, you're benched, you're labeled as "concussion prone", and this can signifiantly affect salary, contracts, trades. So most players hide it and keep playing, making it worse over the years.
knockouts like this, in this video, don’t happen very often. but big hits do happen, you just can’t get away from it. but if a player gets hit and it looks like it might be severe , they’ll make that player go through a concussion protocol to see whether or not they can keep playing or not. so in recent years the NFL has been really focusing on making sure players get more medical attention when it comes to these types of situations e.g. these big hits you see in these videos
the second game with the packers, i saw that game. im a packers fan. the packer bronco game i do remember that hit. the craziest hit i saw was the QB on the lions back in 97 where it was his last ever game being paralyzed.
At 1:25, this is a renewal of the pleasantries in the oldest rivalry in the NFL, between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears. This match-up is always hard-hitting and semi-violent.
I love your videos been watching for 2 days
Players used to be worried about getting hit in the knees more than the head.Nowadays CTE scares them as much
Fun fact. When the players are in a pile up when the ball is fumbled you would not believe the crazy stuff that happens in those pile ups. They are jabbing each other in the eyes , twisting noses and punching each other. One Player named Bill Romanowski liked to break the fingers of opposing players. He was a scary guy. You should watch some videos about him.
I got concussed twice in my senior year of high school football. I finished the game each time because I didn't want to be taken out so I lied about the double vision and such. When I took off my helmet after the second concussion game the coach got pissed at me because I'd been hurt bad enough that I was bleeding under the helmet, but since it was the back of my head and because I had long dark brown hair it wasn't visible so I went on. I also concussed someone with a dirty play (tackling him by his face mask and shoulder pad: basically grabbed him, rolled him over my hip, then slammed him head first onto the field. Wicked dirty play really), but at the time I felt justified since he'd been cheap-shotting me all game: punches to the cup during tackles, stepping on my ankle with his cleats after every play, whatever he could do to hurt me. Some doctors think that the effects of concussions are more easily covered up, if no less detrimental, among younger sufferers because through our teens and early-mid twenties we still have an easier time resisting and recovering from a lot of damage. Since many NFL players are in their early to mid twenties, they tend to shrug off and cover up concussions more easily, which is why when you see plays like this happening and players crumpled on the turf one knows it was a bad hit.
Concussions happen. They are a part of any process where people are moving at high speed and colliding full force with each other, even with protective gear. The good thing about concussions is that one can often continue to function through them, so it is possible (as I have done) to get concussed at work, finish the day, and then make it home before collapsing. The bad thing is the same as the good thing: I remember that concussion at work, I vaguely remember being at work the rest of the day, but I don't remember any part of leaving work, driving the 30 miles home, or anything else until I woke up in the morning with a blinding headache. And that's pretty scary because at any point on that drive home, I could have collapsed, wrecked the car, and potentially killed myself and other people. But, apparently, I felt fine and convinced my concerned co-workers that I was okay. My other concussions that were that bad since then I've had people who made me go to the hospital, so I've avoided that situation again.
The other bad thing is that each concussion makes the next concussion easier to get. Slam your brain against the inside of your skull enough times and it becomes easier to get concussed. I've lost some hearing and developed some memory problems over the years of concussions. I've had 23 concussions lifetime. I've also developed some escalating anxiety issues and tend to become very emotional (usually fighting tears over the simplest little things) for no apparent reason. Luckily, I haven't developed any of the aggression/anger issues some who have suffered repeated concussions do, though I admit I have a harder time fighting the depression I live with.
Didn't mean to make this seem like a baring of the soul. :-D Just some info on concussions.
To the questions about on-field deaths or paralyzations, there have been some of each over the years in the NFL (and college) ranks. The only on-field death of an NFL player was when a wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings died just jogging back to the huddle, but that was from an undiagnosed heart ailment that just stopped his heart. I remember a player named Mike Utley was paralyzed after a hard hit on the field in 1991, I think. But that is the most recent one I remember in the NFL.
That shot where Don Beebe bounced on the top of his head, that was like my first football concussion. I got hit by three different defenders at once on a crossing route and just got pinwheeled through the air and landed on the back of my head and my neck. Every time I see that Beebe play I wince and ache all over again.
Probably the three top instances of players being paralyzed during a game would have to be Mississippi's Chucky Mullens, Detroit's Mike Utley and New England's Daryl Stingley. You could add Marc Buoniconti in there as well. In the early days of the NFL, players were getting knocked out more frequently because there were fewer rules. Look at some of the hits by guys like Chuck Bednarik and Sam Huff.
There have been paralyzing injuries and traumatic brain injuries that last for years afterward. Many consider the high salary as compensation. There's a lot of controversy about this issue as well.
I started playing at the age of 8 played till 18 then joined the US Navy. Played summer sevens rugby while in the Navy. It truly is a violent sport. I went hard at it and I'm quite sure I lost a few I.Q. points per concussions. But I would have it no other way. I Love this sport!
Most concussion are the result of the back of the head smacking down on the Turf. For example, at 8:36 there wasn't hard contact to the head of Bridgewater. But the sudden stop from his head hitting the turf caused him to be knocked unconscious and suffer a concussion.
got my 'bell rung' pretty good during a game, i was so dazed i actually walked to the wrong huddle to the guffaws of the crowd and my team mates.
And concussions happen simply by the 'sloshing' of the brain in the skull. It can happen at relatively low speeds as well, it's not just a high impact thing (but it certainly doesn't help, obviously). Concussions are injuries to the brain, think of it like bruising. Repeated injuries like that have severe repercussions on a person which has become known as CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy).
Knockouts don't happen often, but concussions are fairly common. in 2018 there were 214 concussions in pre-season (4 practice games against other teams) and the regular season (including practices). That amounts to almost 11 concussions per week (20) or .34 per team per week.
In highschool I got knocked out on a kickreturn by a blocker. But I feel that football at all levels are trying their best to change the way people tackle and block, but accidents and cheap shots still happen unfortunately
People have died in this sport. Chucky Mullins was a kid from our area that died, his story is on youtube. Then on youtube search simply "Tatum Stingley" for a story of a player that gets paralyzed, and the player who was NOT sorry for doing it. Then watch the youtube video entitled "Gregg Williams Saints Bounty Audio" to hear a coach instructing his players to INTENTIONALLY hurt players, and to "go for the head". It's freaking SPOOKY! He and his head coach were suspended for a year for this, but only after winning the SUPER BOWL!! Best wishes! You are WONDERFUL!
There have been many concussions in the NFL. A few, Darrell Stingley comes to mind, who have been paralyzed. There have been college and High School football players who have died over the years.
The injury that always Disturbed me was Tim Krumrie. Super bowl XXIII .
Had his leg snapped. Two breaks in the tibia and one in the fibula.
It was gruesome.
If anyone was wondering yes there has been 3-4 players paralyzed do to broken necks in the early years of the NFL.
In the last 30 years I know of 2 nfl players who were paralyzed from hits taken on the field, one in the 80s and Ryan Shazier a few years ago. Ryan is now walking again
Also that last play that the video cut on, number 11 (Drew Bledsoe) got hit and had pretty bad internal bleeding but didn’t know it. One of the coaches said he didn’t look right and sent him to the hospital to get checked out and he would have died if he had not went.
Concussions happen more frequently. Being knocked out cold is pretty rare. Concussions occur when the brain hits the interior of skull. Hits directly to the head or even just a hard hit to the body can stop momentum fast enough can cause the brain to rattle around inside the skull. New helmets and league rules help mitigate some of the concussion issues but everything in the video you watched would likely have similar outcomes. Kickoffs have the highest rate of concussion and injury.
The majority of concussions in football go unnoticed because there is a lot of impact on helmets that does not appear on these highlight films. There are concussions in every game.
to answer your question you can watch a whole season of football and may see someone knocked out one time. So no this does not happen a lot. love your videos.
The play at 7:25 - Hines Ward broke the Bengals linebackers jaw and caused the NFL to implement a new rule outlawing blindside blocks
To answer your question about frequency of concussions, both teams have tents on the sidelines for concussion diagnosis. It’s that common.
Old football saying. It's not if you'll get a concussion but when you get your concussion
The second clip was Chicago Bears vs. Green Bay Packers, the oldest rivalry in the league. These two teams HATE each other. In college football, every play is reviewed by separate officials in the booth, but in the pros, the coaches have to put in a challenge for a play review, and you only get a couple of challenges per game. These major injuries don't happen as often as you would think. Even the American media has blown it out of proportion.
