American football players finally learning how to tackle properly. God bless them
This is good to see as an American actually. Too many head injuries.
@@justinfleagle Rugby always great as the same
This is the normal way humans tackle each other, it only died out in the NFL because they became over reliant on protection.
And the so called protection did the complete opposite, it actually increased i njuries and later on caused more deaths and disability through long term brain injury.
"Rugby" tackling... someone show this to Owen Farrell
only if john quill is included.....
He was brought up playing league. Simpler game 💩🤣
yawn, original joke champ
Here's hoping he loses tonight as karma for all those high hits he's gotten away with.
@@TDMFAN Your wish came true
I love this series. Urban is so knowledgable is Reggie Bush is very well spoken they bring a lot of insight to how the game works.
Urban is FOS...….at 2:25 he's saying that A NEW WAY OF TACKLING MADE THE DIFFERENCE in his team winning the 2014 Natty. That's total BS.....i'm an Ohio State fan/grad and I can tell you the DETERMINING FACTOR was his QB-1 broke his ankle and a kid named Cardale Jones replaced him (Jones was a MUCH BETTER PASSER) or we would have been sitting home watching the CFP's. Jones was the NIGHT n DAY DIFFERENCE, not our tackling !
In 2014, Urban's QB lost to Virginia Tech....and couldn't beat PSU in regulation ( both were 7 - 6 teams that year ) !
The guy he NEVER wanted on the field and had no understand how to utilize his skill set.....came in and WON IT ALL......in spite of Urban Meyer ! Thank You CARDALE !!! I haven't forgotten THE TRUTH.
Meyer BENCHED CARDALE JONES the next year even though he was UNDEFEATED and had OSU ranked No 1. WE LOST WITH URBAN's QB and missed out on back to back NATTY's. Don't be misled by Urban Liar ! LMAO at his LIES. It's UM's MO ! GET WOKE. STOP DRINKING THE KOOL AID !
@@13kimosabi13 who do I believe more.... HOF Head coach or psycho youtuber commenter....
@@JRRingling004 Or you could actually spend 5 minutes and look it up....perhaps discover the TRUTH for yourself ! I'm not asking YOU or anyone to believe me.....but your HERO worship and Kool-Aid drinking have been leading you astray.....
History is fraught with tragic examples of how that turns out. Don't be a SHEEPLE.....GET WOKE !
If a personal ATTACK on me makes more sense to you than a few minutes research...….heaven help you ! I hope you actually understand the word INSIGHT.....and pray you get some going forward !
@@13kimosabi13 Rowtheboat nice camber Bro you're trying to discredit one of the best coaches in sports history because he barely beat PSU and lost 1 game the year he had won a championship. Do you realize how insane you sound? Lol...
Meyer gave Cardale every chance to be the starter in 2015 but the team couldn't get anything going until JT played. Meyer is a winner and doesn't care about spiting a QB... he wants to win. Also, Jones was great but we put him in that position to succeed with the gameplan and lack of tape that was out on Cardale.
Saying that I worship Meyer and calling me a sheep just makes you look like a fake-woke idiot

Urban giving credit to pete is utter respect between two legends
Pete the cheat!!!
@@hueroski typical response. Pete put a lot of beatdowns on college and pro teams. Looks like your team was one of them.
@@victorfreeman6735 I'm a USC fan but as we know, Carroll had to abandon ship.
i played rugby as a kid and this technique is great. no matter how big they are if you wrap there legs there not going anywhere
@chanchos sweats sorry bout your All Blacks. England put em on their heels with the early try and then snuffed out the ABs offense with amazing defense.
@@craigborrenpohl1233 don't be sorry - England deserved to win; they played amazingly well. Great to see them go through to the finals. That's coming from a New Zealander.
If anyone needs proof just look at some tackling highlights of Faf de Klerk. Only 5'7" and he's taken down guys much bigger than him by targeting the legs.
@bkstacker 247 if you're getting kneed in the fave then you're not doing a "rugby" tackle properly
@@Nick_Jones Bloody Kiwis losing graciously! :-) The NZ/Wales result shows that the All Blacks will bounce back quickly.
I hated traditional form tackling and practicing it. This way was never realistic at game speed. Then I started playing rugby and learned this form and it was so much better and actually worked game speed.
The actual rugby style of tackling is focusing on the middle line... Which is the space between the core and the middle of the legs and aiming with your lead leg forward...we call this jamming...so lead right shoulder, lead right leg, towards the middle line... Small steps not long strides... This eliminates getting run around or side stepped as we call it in rugby... rugby focuses on close body contact to....the golden rule ii rugby is...look low drop late... Look high aim high get run over, drop to early get run over or rum around.
@Austin McCanless Yup. A rugby tackle is basically a wrestling double leg takedown at speed.
This is how football tackles have been taught since the early 1900s. The "old" way was really the new way and this "new" way is the old way.
@trufiend138 that's true
The primary difference between how I was taught to tackle in Jr. High and how I was taught to tackle in college rugby, is which side of the other player your head goes on. The rugby tackle keeps the head up and doesn't use the neck as a part of the hit on the other player, making a much safer and more effective take-down. That said, the wrap and take-down were still emphasized in both methods. What they're trying to train players away from is the 'big stick' - the no-wrap, pure impact, knock-down. Most missed tackles appear to be from players who don't wrap, bouncing off another player they thought they could knock over like a bowling pin by a ball.
Brian Sawyer Agreed! This is how I was taught as well!
This his how I was taught to tackle.
@@roddaman7545 Couldn't agree more. Played rugby since I was 9 and only played two years of highschool football. Cannot tell you how many yards I bear crawled for doing a rugby tackle, I refused to put my head in front of the ball carrier.
These techniques won't always result in the big showbiz hit but when practiced they will reduce missed tackles and reduce head impacts. Not many people could argue with that.
Ok now this explain's why players are trying to jump over tacklers nowadays .
If your look closely - a lot of these are players going for a low 'hit' not a hip tackle. If you keep your head up as you break down and square-up, you can easily launch out of your crouch to grab a hurdling player's legs. Watch a few hurdles and note where the defenders head is facing - seems it's usually looking down, bracing for the big hit that never comes.
It takes you out of the way of the high speed crashes too. You might get flipped around but you're not going to get hit hard.
@Bill Lee Because players have literally broken their necks and been killed while hurdling opposing players.
Not just "trying to": many of them succeed and thus make extra yardage.
This is because the tackler is going to low anlnd doesn't know how to tackle properly. All tackles need to be aimed from waist to shoulders.
What are your thoughts on the evolution of 'rugby' tackling?
Been doing it at our school for years now, great stuff!
The music in this video is one big distraction. Urban Meyer is interesting the way it is. You don't have to dress it up with the music.
Rugby tackling is how they tackle for the exact same reason it's a thing now in football. To avoid shots to the head. Makes sense to me.
It could save football. The question nobody has had an answer to Is: how can we justify this sport given the effects of CTE.
Football is inherantly violent and physical. And that's a lot of why people love it IMO. "I'm gonna try as hard as I can to go one way, and you have to try and stop me." But no one wants there to be real, long-term, dibilitating effects. The mission has always been to preserve the physical nature of the sport while eliminating long-term side effects. Rugby tackling could seriously lower hits to the head.
Can any one deny the increase in offensive stats and production after this trend?
It’s just a way to pad offensive stats by hampering defenseman through legislation under the guise of a safety marketing scheme
The main thing it’s doing is just making it safe and easily for offensive players and their stats
This segment is gold
I started playing football in 1984. This was how I was taught to tackle then. "Hit Low and Wrap" "Lead with the Shoulder"
Thanks to all my coaches - saved some potential concussions.
@johnbondola3246
I am 71, we were taught what Urban calls "cheek to cheek" tackling in Pop Warner Football in the early 1960's, (the "old 'T' & 'I' formation days) see the belt buckle slide the head, stick the shoulder, wrap the legs, "see, stick, wrap".
As a uk fan who also loves rugby....it’s interesting to see the development of this new rule
And its frustrating af to watch American football players miss easy tackles or blow peoples heads off
Clear, thorough review of modern American football tackling. Bravo coach Meyer.
I could listen to Urban all day
Urban Meyer is a goat at explaining concepts
Never watched American football but that Reggie guy and the coach seem like really nice people.
Weird, I was taught to tackle using my shoulder and then driving or rolling when playing Pop Warner back in the late-80s.
Real rugby tackling you put ur head opposite of the ball to avoid getting knees to the head
this, football teaches putting your head on the same side as the ball. I think it's what he meant by putting cheek to cheek
@trufiend138 Not really. You switch which side your head is on, depending on your angle. If you're coming from the left (Your left), your head goes to the other player's right side, you hit with the right shoulder, wrap and drive, rotating the other player to the ground on your right. Your head is always, out of the way of the hips, knees, ground.
@trufiend138 Yep. Just semantics I guess. BTW, Rugby World Cup extended highlights are being posted to RUclips. Some good matches, just don't expect much from team USA.
@@roddaman7545 Dont expect anything from team USA, rugby is dominated by the 5 to 8 teams
@@andrepereira5880
I hate to admit it, but I'd had some hope. Some, small, hope. You know it's bad when they spin a 30-point loss as an improvement.
I'm 44, and I was taught cheek to cheek, they just didn't call it that. It was called "tackle the hips" because the hips don't lie.
you would die if you tackled like NFL in rugby
The protection really allows the players to be a lot more brutal lol
@@thepronoob4039 I remember over a decade ago watching on TV one off Rugby matches between England and USA in an effort introduce and grow the sport over your neck of the woods. England would obviously win by many points but most of the England team would end up injured. I remember the full time whistle going and seeing 5 or 6 white shirts layed out on the pitch. The USA crowd obviously enjoyed the match due to this 😄
@@trevtall1094 ahhh the old Churchill cup games. They weren't the 'full cap' games so many of the lads playing were fresh out of the under 20s sides. It's funny that I never remember the 6 england players on the floor but that must be because I was supporting them. Good times miss the Churchill Cup, still remember the USA's own Alex Corbisero making his debut for England ;)
Rugby tackling is what I was taught 25 years ago. Run blocking was similar, none of that extreme hugging stuff they do now. Lowest man wins in football.
I LOVE RUGBY!!! My son plays college rugby and I’ve learned so much about the sport!
Good for him! Great game
Hope you're watching the world cup final on Saturday!
Male Human Person Yes, I watched it
Thomas Vorm YES IT IS!!!! They won the 2019 Rugby East Championship over the weekend! Kutztown University 🏆🏆🏉🏉
World cup final is on this Saturday. Hope you can catch it.
I'm teaching my 6 year old to tackle at the moment.. the trick is three things.. (ignoring things like "be low", "keep head out of way", "use shoulder" and "wrap the legs" which I will take for granted) I went for 4 years never missing a tackle.
1. timing (its incredibly important) there is a great RUclips of two sheep (rams) head butting each other. One is going about 25mph the other is stock still. The one stock still does one perfectly timed drive and knocks the other one out. Great example from nature. Timing.
2. Being off balance as you hit. Legs behind you. Basically be off balance at the moment of impact and use your target to keep you up. If you miss you should look like an idiot. That means you're doing it right - and then drive them as soon as you connect. About 4 or 5 steps a second rhythm.
3. Do not be timid. It's got to be 100% or you get hurt
If you're a good tackler you will ALWAYS be on the team. ALWAYS. And everyone will always like you. Just how it is.
One more thing. 4. If you like. If you want to get even better work on finger strength. Like buy a "captains of crush" gripper and use it. Or dangle on a bar for hours. But build finger strength.
This is great content. Both intelligent well spoken football minds.
This is a great video for football players, coaches and parents

Urban Meyer is great
I played football back in the 90's I was taught to tackle with my shoulders then because they were trying prevent neck injuries. Urban Meyer is right about some old school tqckling but some of that did home from practice it came from actual game experience.
The finest tackle I’ve seen in Rugby Sam Matai tackle on Dave Tyrell
Brutal but clean and perfect form
In New Zealand we call it - “Go for the legs” 😂
I have played rugby my whole life and used to watch a lot of American football. Lots of people try to compare the two sports and determine which is better, tougher etc. It's pretty hard to accurately compare and I never really got involved in the debate as both sports are different and I have never played American football myself, however, one aspect of rugby that I always thought was far superior was the standard of tackling, particularly one on one. I stopped watching American football because while the hits are much harder (generally bigger faster blokes in pads), these big hits were often purely using the shoulder/helmet on receivers who were not facing the defender and didn't have time to protect themselves (of course there were exceptions). I stopped watching the NFL because it was beyond me how a form tackle involved chest to chest contact or chest to ball contact. Urban is totally correct about wrapping up the legs and I am not surprised the number of missed tackles has decreased in teams that use a rugby style tackle technique. Might not look quite so explosive as a shoulder charge that can immediately knock someone who is unprepared to the floor but it is a much more effective way to tackle and largely guarantee they will go to ground.
I think both forms of tackling have their pros and cons is probably best to be proficient in both ways. I was wrestler primarily growing up and in football I was taught the traditional form of tackling in the early 2000s but being a wrestler it was more instinctive to try to shoot for a double-leg on people so I ended up tackling and more of a rugby way.
As an Aussie, I played First XV rugby at my high school. I was a 'winger'.
The nest year I was at Uni and played "gridiron" (as we called it) for the first time and LOVED having all the gear on. I DESTROYED people when I tackled them! 😁✔
Congratulations to this years 2019 Rugby East Champions Kutztown University Mens Rugby!!! What an amazing weekend! I’m so proud of my son and his entire team
Blaque Butterfly yeah KU grad class of 1988 right here!!!
Yayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!
With all that said, I'm still seeing players flying in, throwing shoulders making big collisions, only to see a runner bounce off and keep running. Or a ball carrier running for 15 yards after contact because not one tackler wrapped up the legs and you got 3 guys grabbing around the shoulder pads. I remeber being told not to lead with my head in the dinosaur days of football. I just don't see what changed all of the sudden that it required a reinvention of the wheel.
I don’t know about anyone else but this was always the way my coaches taught me to tackle. Lead with your head was never ok
If you lead with your head down like Urban was showing you run the risk of your head collapsing in on the spine on contact which is how players have broken their necks in the past. Urban missed the very important point of keeping the face mask up when tackling.
Yeah, a key difference is that in Rugby a ball carrier is forbidden from hurdling a tackler for this very reason. Rugby tackling in American football might reduce concussions, but it increases the risk of serious neck injuries.
@@Sphere723 no it doesnt increase the risk of neck injuries at all
Sphere723 Absolute nonsense. Rugby tackling reduces the danger of neck injuries. If it did not, rugby would be more dangerous than football, which it clearly is not.
@@OHCelt Go watch how Nick Collins got his career ended.
@@Sphere723 Go watch the Rugby World Cup that is currently in progress - you will see 300+ players from 20 teams who know how to tackle properly. Collins did not.
The college coach forgot to discuss the feet position first. This is crucial for what happens on/after contact! In Rugby League you're taught to lead with same leg/shoulder, so if you're tackling with the right shoulder the right leg should be placed forward. It creates a stronger base & diminishes the recessional tackle. Players are also taught to wrap up the football, otherwise the attacker can off-load it, thus taking the defender out of the game, which can create space in behind.
Wrapping the football is useless in the sport, there is a tackling technique called a peanut punch or literally just grabbing the ball and ripping it away from them, also the foot position is the same it's the head position that's changing
I was taught to drive up through the hips and fold the person in half through their hips. As the ball carrier, it was the same movement, but trying to get under the tackler's shoulders to win leverage. Almost coming off the deck from your knees. Lowest player wins. The other nuanced thing about the rugby (union) tackle is the desire to roll the ball carrier onto your side of the field, so your team can drive over the ruck and steal the ball. Conversely, the ball carrier is typically pre rolling their body to face the ball to their side of the field for the same reason. There's a battle for body position as the two players are falling to the ground.
Now imagine if we took pads out of football then everyone would be scared to lead with the head hahaha
nope, there is always one player who still takes it to far.
@@robert48044 Vontez Burfict lol
Erik Lerström damn nigga hahah
Plus it’s meat on meat muscle on muscle I don’t see how it could be a big injury unless it’s a stinger
Erik Lerström I forgot Americans don’t play rugby
In Rugby you tackle low if possible but in dire situations you would tackle the chest area, to prevent the ball carrier from off loading/lateral passing to a team mate. Horses for courses I suppose. Love both sports
Some of the hurdles today look silly like when Jalen Ramsey faked going for a low tackle to get a guy way up in the air so he could bring him down. That was the funniest looking play.
I played rugby and I was taught when tackling that 1 u can't run without legs meaning hit them low and 2 u can't run without a head. Make of that what u will.
Dang this is exactly what our defensive coach teaches us
LOL! It's take about a century for NFL players to finally figure out how to tackle properly
In Rugby it is against the rules to jump over your tackler, it can lead to serious injury when you land on your neck or head.
bkstacker 247 thats cute
@@ollierupprecht4854 not biting huh
bkstacker 247, I guess trying to prevent paralysis is kind of cowardly.
@bkstacker 247 So basically you're a moron
The best tacklers in the world are in Rugby League. Pure and simple.
Yee and they make the most tackles every game
George Wright Sounds like I’m preaching to the choir. Did you watch GB Lions vs Tonga Match? Now that’s how you tackle.
@@usarugbyleagueunionfan yeah and they manage to do it with decapitating each other . Nfl players complain about maybe having a 18 game season the club rugby season is Feb to October they have to attack and defend and theres internationals as well
In rugby, jumping over tackles is illegal. It’s dangerous to the tackler (boot to the face risk is high) and the ball-carrier (tackler catches your feet and you face slam into the ground, making your brain rattle around your skull like a pea in a whistle).
why do i hear Ernie Johnson from TNT voice from Meyers? Do they have the same voice?
Yes. A voice box that mimics the same voice as Ernie Johnson was planted into Urban Meyer.
I was taught the traditional tackle but to keep your head up lol
Looks like the tackling of the 1920s and 30s...when players had leather helmets and no face guards, they (the tackler) had to protect their own faces and heads, since the equipment wasn't much help. With the advent of the high-tech helmet, players had little qualms about using their head as a weapon. Interesting!
So many other things from rugby you could use in the NFL if you were open to change 🙌
What else are you thinking of?
Cheek to cheek lmao I'm childish for laughing so hard. He was really talking about a buttcheek
😂 You get the same reactions from kids in NZ when they First hear that. "Cheek to bum cheek????" 🤦🏽♂️😂
Although it sounds childish, that is honestly the simplicity of tackling... but Yeah i still chuckle a little every time i gotta say it or hear it. 😂
Rugby is the future
this is THE way and why rugby players don't need headgear-
Old news, I watched one rugby game in 2005 and realized NCAA and NFL players only hit, rugby players tackle.
First time I played Rugby, I led with my face and caught an elbow across my nose. I went for the fold EVERY time after that.
Nice! Good to see them adopt something from our game.
We get taught to dip and drive up diagonally to take them off their feet then carry them back. But I’m guessing that’s illegal in American football?
This is not new. We were always taught this from grade school through highschool where I grew up. That was in the 90s. Our school won 3 state championships in 4 years and has been a powerhouse for decades. Watching poor form and technique at the college and professional level always irritated me.
Because rugby forbidding hurling so there is a thing called chop tackle where players just tackle as low as they can at the quads ,knees down to the ankles and there are league style tackles that more of an upright one and they also knock BC back like NFL
Why on earth would they ever be taught to tackle someone with there head 😂
Because they thought this was the best way to dislodge the ball, that it was doing a ton of damage to the brain and neck never mind actually lower chance of stopping a powerful leg/chunky RB seems to have avoided gridiron coaches for half a century at least.
Reggie Bush also changed the rules of offensive football with what we commonly call "The Bush Push", which used to be a penalty for aiding the runner. The Bush Push also comes from the sport of rugby (where blocking is prohibited) and is called a "maul". In a maul, the ball carrier's momentum is stopped by a defensive player, but other offensive players link up with the ball carrier and drive forward. In some instances, the ball carrier will transfer the ball to other players in the maul, and then that player will "roll" to one side of the maul, to re-establish forward momentum.
This is how I learned to tackle. IT'S THE ONLY WAY to tackle against bigger kids on the playground!
As we say in Yorkshire, a Rugby League hotbed "They can't run wi'out legs"
Had to watch this to get over the targeting
Jumping out of a tackle is incredibly illegal in rugby and cities as "dangerous play". It's a potential red card (instant sending off).
I'm missing a tooth because of it too, opposition player got a broken nose and also a missing tooth lol
@@LordInter yeah it's really dangerous.. for both ppl
@@LordInter PS i wrote "cites" (auto correct!)
It doesn’t really work in rugby as it’s too high risk tactically. If the ball carrier mistimes their hurdle and gets caught in the air, they land awkwardly and in the ensuing ruck*, they may not be able to play the ball back correctly and the opposition will strip the ball carrier of the ball.
*for our American friends, a ruck is when a player is tackled and they have to let go of the ball while each side tries to drive the other team back to get to the ball
Ban hurdling the defender. It is dangerous, one slightly mistimed hurdle and you have kicked a player in the head at high speed.
Justin Stephenson jumping a tackle is illegal in rugby, has been as long as I can remember
@@huwthomas9016 Agreed, but it is legal in American football which is what the video is about. I am suggesting that it should be illegal in American Football as well
We were taught the traditional way 3 years ago then the next year taught the “new way” 😂😂
Hahaha as a little kid playing rugby we were taught at a young age to get you're head to the side of the ball carrier, put your shoulder into his stomach ,wrap your arms around either his body or his legs and drive through with your legs... it's about time you guys learn how to tackle properly without causing injury to yourself
Good segment, Urban, as usual, actually knows what he is talking about. But the dork at the beginning makes no sense: what Spielman is talking about it keeping your eyes up and running through the tackle, that was true and is true. Look at the missed tackle here: 3:09. The running back jumps over him because he puts his head down and isn't looking at the ball carrier. "Traditional" or rugby style, you have to keep your head (and eyes) up.
Why don't we just switch flag football and then they will be even more safe. If safety is the most important thing, why are we still tackling when little flags are even safer.
Not sure about that wrap and roll technique when side-on. Feels to me like it would make it easier for the ball carrier to break the tackle. In rugby we would just use the same wrap the legs and drive through technique from the side as in a front on tackle. But I appreciate that American footballers are more concerned with preventing yardage gains than rugby players are,.
And people wonder why there was so many brain injuries in football over so so many years..
A lot of the serious ones come from being on the line. Those guys are still waking heads.
Rugby has an insane number of spinal injuries due to this "cheek to cheek" thing. Putting your face down by the knees is a horrible idea.
@@drsch That's just not true. Yes spinal injuries can happen, but not at a higher rate than in football. You don't put your head by the knees, its next to the butt cheek, and with correct technique you don't put your head across the body of the player you're tackling but to the side so the head avoids contact with the player being tackled.
drschplatt if they have injuries they did it wrong and I know because was too. After games everyone will be more aware of their head and neck.
I wonder what possessed people to ever think that charging with your head first was in any way a sensible thing to do? Even with protection, it flies in the face of sanity. You want to keep your head and brain away from contact as much as possible, that's natural instinct. Rugby players can move to American football ok but if they try to go the other way they will be almost guaranteed to knock themselves out in their first game.
As a brit and a rugby fan this hurts to watch.
This isn’t rugby this is American Football.
But they are learning to tackle the rugby way.
People should watch Tom Curry and Sam Underhill England Rugby players 🏴for text book brutal tackles.
I mean thats just common sense, tackle with your shoulders. Wrestlers do that since ancient time across culture worldwide.
This is basically the entry to a double leg takedown, I'm shocked that leading with your head was considered proper tackling. Can't be good for your spine.
@USCAthletics, Hey Coach, watch this Please!
Having played Rugby (both forms) as a forward then watching NFL, you realise how much the helmet "lets" NFL players put their head in danger, you learn in Rugby from an early age - Don't put your head in the contact zone - even with a helmet NFL players are still getting heaps of concussions. So the question is, Does the helmet prevent concussion or not?
Americans tackling with their face will never not be funny to me
Now someone teach Vontaze Burfict.....
Smart shirt and tie, and you guys wear sneaker?
American football, borne from rugby and still learning from rugby. Ever wonder why it's called a touchdown? Go watch rugby to learn.
Ya'll gon learn bout dat rugby now and realise its a better game haha
Wait till they come across, Sonny Bill Williams hahah When Shoulder tackles in rugby now have to include wrapping of the arms.. sad but it IS safer..
It's almost like leading with your head when running at someone is a really bad idea. Like maybe you'll break your neck or get a concussion or something. NFL players are still awful at wrapping.
What's next? Touchdowns where the ball touches the ground?
I was told your helmet protects you from collisions not run forward with it like a damm rhino
This video is awesome but at what point is a dress shirt under armour.
Rugby teams in Europe have employed MMA/Judo and wrestling coaches for years now to help with technique. Do the NFL teams do the same?
I mean it only makes sense to get your head out of the impact zone cant get CTE in your shoulder so lead with that
a lot of the examples shown in the video of the ball carrier jumping over the would be tackler, is where that 'tackler' and I say that in the very loosest sense, absolutely has no clue how to tackle properly. These so called pro defensive players would get embaressed at pub rugby team level.
Apparently we were taught the rugby tackle in 60s and 70s.
As a HS Defensive Back under 175 lbs I always elected to use the so called "Rugby Tackle" its common sense. You wrap the legs up and spare yourself a concussion potentially. Its really not that revolutionary. Its a matter of preference.
one of these days the eggheads will look at how tackling is different between rugby and football and will realise that in football a player has several inches of padding that allows for a pivot point to create between the chest and the head, and that acts as a fulcrum which allows for the head to swing fast in either direction and cause concussions
Looking for the Burfict fans
Just drop "football" and take up rugby guys. You are missing out
Lol; no. Why play a less strategic sport? American Football is the best sport of all.
@@adrianbundy3249 a less strategic sport? Funny one. You obviously haven't watched a lot of rugby.
@@DP-cd5wr I haven't watched a lot, you have that right; but I have watched a few games, and some highlight reels besides. There is a lot of teamwork involved to win, and strategy involved sure. But if you think american football isn't more in depth with strategy, you haven't really watched much American football; what is this, one of the few videos you have seen on it? Let me break it down into the whys.
In rugby, there are no play stops; a lot of impatient audiences of other sports get annoyed with American football in that way, but therein lies a lot more strategic use. Every 30 seconds or so, you have to get all your team on the page, and play another chess move that the other team now has to launch their own defensive pieces to stop, cover 1, cover 2, cover 3, cover 4 and 'cover zero'. Zone, or man to man; various different variantions of blitzes and stunts at a schematic level; and that is just the defensive chess game going in, every 30 second snap. Let alone the huge variation of thought and strategy going into the offensive plays designed to counter the defense at any given play.
It is a coaches sport unlike any other, for a lot of those types of reasons.
There just is no comparison in rugby. And then we get into the specialization; defense/offense/special teams (playing for field position vs full strike offense, etc, depending on personnel). To be fair, there is some of this in rugby, so it isn't completely a new thing unlike the play snaps addition of a constant chess match. But in regards to these things, football still has more, having those specialized roles, each with many things to strategize into them.
Which is why American football, is kind of like the human chess match; and just like chess itself, that means it is dragged out to play well, which might not be everyone's cup of tea; but it definitely is mine, and it adds to the appeal to me. And yeah, because some players are just better than others, team to team the chess pieces are of varying quality, and you even game plan around those (but in truth, this last mentioned concept is pretty much in any athletic sport; plan vs who you are against, and who you are - but I was mainly differentiating chess but even more interesting).
“How’d that season go?” 😂
he asked that because they won the national championship.
MinuteMilitia yea I know that’s why I thought it was great!
