These hits were mostly legal when they took place, but direct head to head hits in the open field are no longer allowed.
Same for a lot of the hits on a defenseless receiver in this compilation, they're all blatantly illegal now.
Pads and helmets aside. These guys hit each other so hard it's like two cars colliding. A few Rugby players have made the cut in the NFL, the NFL looks all around the world for anyone who they think can make it. It's a whole different animal. Even with the rule changes it's a very violent sport.
As the old adage goes… “rugby is a contact sport - football is a collision sport.” The contact in football can be absolute violence sometimes.
Fact of the matter is pads make people MORE reckless. In rugby without padding, the responsibility is on the player to tackle safely because there's nothing to aid them. In football, people feel like they're wearing armor so they're less concerned with their safety.
I saw an interview with Terry Bradshaw one time, he spoke about the size of some of the largest players, saying taking a full speed hit from one of those guys is like getting hit with a coke machine
@@colinlagesse4896 Football players are all insanely athletic as well. Soccer players are lean, hockey players are big and stocky. Football players are big, stocky, lean, fast and strong. Wide receivers tend to be above 6'5 in the NFL, and they're the quick nimble guys.
It's like 2 cars colliding at about 2 mph.
Rugby is a contact sport; Football is a collision sport.
This a mix of all American Football. It is not just the NFL.
@@tishbite606 There was lots of clips of high school and college plays. I've watched enough high school football clips to know that high school players are absolutely ruthless on their hits because they're out there trying to impress collegiate scouts, in hopes of getting a full ride scholarship from a top university. Collegiate players hit even harder because they want to impress pro scouts.
Those pads don’t make getting hit by 300lbs of muscle hurt much less.
Not at all. The intention is to reduce injury, not pain. These are some of the biggest and fastest people on the planet and they run into each other at full speed. Anyone that argues the pads make the sport soft is flat out ignorant of how violent the hits are.
Pads actually make the players feel like they can hit you harder
I would say they make it hurt more. If only because without them on some of these you'd never feel pain again.
4:45 There's a "targeting" rule in college football now - if you lead with your helmet into another guy's helmet, not only is it a 15-yard penalty and a first down, but you get ejected for the rest of the game and half of the following game.
You're right about the knees. Many a player's career has ended by a shot to the knees.
Doctors have repeatedly said tackles in American football are the equivalent of some car accidents. I like rugby. But it's definitely not the same universe
Next you need to see "Best Jukes In Football History", "NFL's Most Athletic Plays Of All Time", "Barry Sanders 50 Most Ridiculous Plays Of All Time", and "The NFL Combine (2022, 2023, or 2024)" or such so that you can see the incredible size, strength, and athleticism of these remarkable athletes that play in the NFL.
Yes, this. The Jukes and Athletic Plays videos are both awesome. :)
Definitely
"Best Jukes In Football History" is one of the best videos
Man, Barry was so good, some Bo Jackson too. we where so lucky to see these men play.
@@elijahfoster2 A fair number of clips from "Barry Sanders 50 Most Ridiculous Plays Of All Time" wound up in this video... he was the juke master!
I used to coach a D1 wrestler who lat dropped a kid when we were on kick return. One of the most savage things I think I’ve ever seen.
The other kid got up like, “can he do that?!”
Rob “Gronk” Gronkowski played tight end for the Patriots and said that it felt like he was in a car accident when every game ended. And he was 6’6” (1.98m) and 265 lbs (120 kg)
American football is a collision sport.
These types of hits have been regulated out of the game due to the concussion implications. They rarely happen anymore.
I sit here watching this now in my mid 50's with my feet propped up after a long day of work and look at the swollen knees and right ankle that now are arthritic because of old football injuries. And ya know what? I'd do it all again to play the greatest sport on the planet.
Yea my right knee is old football injury, I was walking across the yard and stepped on a football 🏈 😂
I’m mid 50s with knee and back problems.. I only played backyard football when in grade school. Wished I had played organized football. Instead it was soccer and baseball.
If I did not screw up my knees jumping out of trees, football did the rest of the job... LOL.. When I watch clips like this, the song " I am not as good as I once was." comes to mind... If you gave me a shot on a good tackle football with out pads, part of me would want to jump at it... The other part would be asking if I am nuts as my body couldn't take it.... BUT I WOULD BE TEMPED!!!! LOL
Surprisingly my knees are a okay lol, my back on the other hand is a different story. But yea if I could I’d go back and do it all over again
In my 30s, I still have a few scars from playing, straight up, no pads, and hurts, but you feel alive asf, we never go for the knee, just wist. Now, would I play it again, you bet!
Excellent!! A lot of that footage was older, stuff you couldn't get by with now, but it sure was fun to watch! Roll Tide!!
That face mask around 1:45 actually used to be legal back then: one player abused it so much though that they made it illegal
Dick Butkus! He was an absolute animal and one of my all-time favorites!
@@rancidmarmot1994 Yeah, him and Night Train Lane were infamous for the facemask grabs. Lane was also notorious for the forearm shiver, which is clearly demonstrated at 1:18, although I can't identify the players involved.
@r.awilliams9815 Yeah, Night Train was a wrecking ball! Those were the good ol days back before they forced defenses to treat quarterbacks like ballerinas.
The two hardest hitting teams in the 1970s were the Pittsburgh Steeler's and the Steel Curtain defense with Mean Joe Greene, and 1970s Oakland Raiders coached by John Madden. Back then even us high schooler's put a slobber knocker on our opponents.
Tatum.
@@user-mv4be1tc2u The Assassin!
@@bbqujeh for sure, I was skeered just watching that dude on TV 😄
"His helmet came off."
As long as his head wasn't in it, everything is fine.
LOL I can attest to that!!!! I was on a kick off play, I shot the seam perfectly pulled 3 guys to block me.. Well they hit me about the same time and I was a ping pong in the middle of them 3.... BEST PLAY EVER... Tho I did need to shake my head clear a bit before I could walk.. LOL
Dope reaction man. Appreciate the energy!
There are a few different rules in place now. No Crack Back blocks (Hitting a players blind side), No hitting a "Defenseless" player(WR in the air unable to protect themselves) now they also have a new rule No Hip Drop Tackle. Basically you cant pull the guy to the ground from behind. Personally they are starting to put to much of the game in the Ref's hands and forcing them to make the very difficult game changing calls. In my opinion and from playing tackle football, you know what you signed on for. It's a hard hitting, fierce, adrenaline and emotion filled sport lets keep it that way.
they are trying to prevent potential life changing injuries like severe leg breaks and tendon and ligament tears. its a saftey thing man
@@mainlyyogurt You can make the "Saftey" argument for almost any tackle or hit. Why now? Why not have a rule like that years ago after LT broke Thieismann's leg with a tackle from behind? The Ref's are having a hard enough time with the rules that are in place now. Or did you not watch last season? I get trying to limit head an neck injures but if a defensive player is chasing down the ball carrier what do you except the defensive player to do? Teleport in front of the guy and tackle him? Dive at his ankles? Dive at his knees? Or just give up on the play lol?
Crack back isn't a players blind side. That is still 100% legal. A crack back is when the player blocking is moving towards their own goal line. Like a receiver hitting someone backwards rather then laterally or pushing them forward. Hence the term "crack back"
@@InfiniteKhaos yup your right my bad. Shit gets confusing man lol
@@TheBalty Not your bad. I don't think the refs understand the rules either lol. With that being said I hope they find a way to make it easier, people don't want to watch something that makes no sense. It only makes sense to me because I've been watching for 30+ years. Refs have no excuse for getting as many calls wrong as they do.
1:54 what made that hit even more... rude so to say. This was during the Pro Bowl, the, at the time, End of the Year All-Star Game in Hawaii. usually the players didn't hit this hard. but the Late Sean Taylor (the player making the hit) only had one gear and that was "Go!"
You'd be surprised how many of those guys who get knocked down, just get up and head back to the huddle. Also, these guys may bigger because of all the pads, but even without the pads these guys are still massive. During the off season. they will spend hours in the weight rooms adding 20 to 30+ pounds in muscle weight..
I remember a sports science show that put measuring devices on athletes to determine the speed and force they either moved or hit with. Quentin Jammer, who played cornerback for the then-San Diego Chargers, was used to measure the impact of a football tackle. Jammer, who was about 6 feet tall and 204 lbs (93 kg), was able to deliver a tackle with a force of a car hitting a wall at 35 mph (56 kilometers/hour)
There are quite a few rules concerning dangerous tackles and many of these plays would be flagged today. On a pass you cannot hit the intended receiver until they have the ball and make a “football move”. There are also certain types of tackles that are prohibited, but the penalty would be something like a horse collar (pulling a player down by grabbing inside of the back of the pads). As for hits off the ball, those are blocks and as long as they are part of the play perfectly legal - blocking someone no longer involved in the play is not.
All the blocks wouldn’t be legal, crack back blocks aren’t allowed anymore.
I’ll rephrase, blind side crack back blocks. If they see you coming that’s fine lol
Not true at all. A receiver doesn't have to make a "football move" before he can be hit... That's part of the criteria to rule a pass a catch. Receivers can get smacked as soon as they touch the ball, there is no rule saying defenders haver to wait for them to catch it...🤦🏼♂️ The amount of ignorance of people in this comment section is baffling.
Pads are just as much for protection as they are for hitting even harder.
When they lower their helmet to tackle someone head first are the scariest ones. That’s when players end up paralyzed or worse. I was watching the lions and jets when Reggie Brown was injured. It was so bad, they had to preform CPR on him to save his life.
I already knew what video it was before I came in. From the thumbnail I could hear "Here comes the boom". This is old as hell, there are some bigger hits nowadays as well
Ok, so I am an American who played football in high school rugby in college in the 90's. From my experience you get bigger hits in football as players use the pads and helmets as weapons. That being said rugby can be a more brutal game, it's more like group wrestling,. Football is a swift strike, where rugby is a long battle. The day after football you felt like you had been in a car accident, the day after rugby you felt like the car dragged you down the road. I loved both games..
Agree....played a lot more Football than Rugby. Rugby has a ton of constant movement like Soccer...Football has breaks...and thats why Football hits have more energy behind them. I did notice playing Rugby that...without the Pads...people did tend to get Hurt way more when over doing it...I avoided Injury playing Rugby because I understood how to hit someone at full speed with Pads on...and knew when to back off to avoid injury.....LOVE BOTH SPORTS!
I have only played American Football, as a kid into my 20's I wish I got the chance to learn Rugby as it looks FUN!!!! Now at 40 years old, lol my body just dose not have that drive to take the impacts... Sighs....
They introduced rugby as an intramural sport at my college while I was there. Most of the players had played football in high school. The first set of games involved numerous broken collarbones and dislocated shoulders. The school had to go back and train us to do proper rugby tackles as opposed to what we were trained to do in football. Both sports are brutal in their own way and good fun.
"I wouldn't ever go out to hurt anybody deliberately. Unless it was, you know, important-like a league game or something."
- Dick Butkus, Chicago Bears, often considered one of the best linebackers in history
Most of these hits would be illegal today
The best commentary for this “ahh” “ohhh” “nice”
Dangerous tackles in football is leading with the head, that's why they changed it to tackle with your shoulder. This was most likely due to spinal injuries and to prevent the target from getting either knocked out from a head-to-head tackle or more damage from a head-to-chest.
90%(maybe more lol) of these tackles nowadays would result in a suspension and a huge fine, this era of football was brutal
This is why I love being an American. We’re like ‘Hell Yeah!’, the rest of the world ‘Oh, you can’t do that…’
It was awesome finding your channel man! I took a fullback’s helmet to the side of my knee in middle school. Snapped my femur in half and dislocated my kneecap. Every time I see the guys get folded in half, I get an ache in my right leg
The days of the "Big Boys" has largely faded in the era of more mobility, but you only need to look back into the 1980's at William "The Refrigerator" Perry, who at 6'2" and 335lbs was one of the largest to play as a full-back and did well as a defensive lineman. In one play as a fullback covering for Walter Payton, he actually picked up Payton when he had gotten bogged down in the coverage and carried him a ways until the play was blown dead as he was not allowed to do that.
0:32 I will never forget my boy Bam Bam hitting Vernon Davis so hard in the chest, Davis got a concussion.
Sports Science was a show a few years ago where they used Science to explain certain situations in sports. They proved where having equipment on is worse than not having any because of the energy transfer. I had thought the opposite my entire life before I saw that episode
If the target doesn't have the ball, the guy hitting him is technically "blocking." The idea is that the tackler's guy has the ball, and the tacklee might be trying to (or might eventually, possibly in a different game... :) ) tackle the ball-carrier, so a guy on the ball-carrier's team takes him out before he can. If you watch more of this stuff, every now and then you'll see the guy with the ball running with a couple of his own guys near him, and the commentators will say he "has an entourage." Those guys are supposed stick near him to block or tackle anyone who might be going after the guy with the ball. Same idea.
Check out "Lyle Ozado" Defensive lineman for the Oakland Raiders, he was an Animal. Lotta vids of his work, if you were the QB you better hide! Depends on the year, always changes. You get there same time as the ball, u call that one!
Played 3 seasons for the Northside Rhinos in Brisbane and was privileged enough to play against a HS team from New Mexico and one from Arizona. Both games ended with concussions. I’m sure I would of made the highlight reel from the hits haha
We have an unnecessary roughness rule. There are various things that fall under said rule. Late hit out of bounds, roughing the passer, targeting (College Football), hitting with the crown of the helmet, helmet to helment against a defensless player, blindside block. A few others.
Some of those hits on kick returners could have been avoided. Returners have the option to wave their hand above their head before the ball arrives, for a fair catch. They give up the ability to return the kick in return they don't get tackled. The play is over when they catch the ball.
Also in the NFL and in High School, one can opt for a free kick after a fair catch. Those are VERY rare, and are most likely to happen at the end of a half, or a game. Last successful fair catch kick in the NFL was in the 1970s.
If you didn't see a flag thrown, it was probably legal when the hit happened.
People call football a contact sport. Basketball is a contact sport, football is a collision sport.
There were twelve deaths a year playing American football before they introduced pads and helmets. The pads are necessary.
Some of those helmet removing hits were so hard, they have to check the helmet to make sure it's empty...
Our kids start playing football at around 4th or 5th grade with midget football. My son played for 3 years (5th through 7th grade). He was an offensive/defensive lineman. Before he even started playing for real, Momma taught him how to make and take a hit (Dad had nothing to do with it). Momma didn't realize that sonny-boy was going to be a destructive force on his team. His teammates would "bully" him until game time. He eventually learned that they did it because it made him "mean" and he took it out to the field and made the plays. This kid could take down kids who not only had height on him, but size. He dragged three bigger boys down the field 10 yards before they got him down during one game. Any hit that doesn't make you bleed, break something, or kill you...walk it off. I'll only start to worry if they bring out the stretcher. I expected him to get hurt. But then, I didn't expect him to be the one with the tackle that hurt someone else. That was a huge wake up for Momma. From that first game through the last, Momma was proud of her "Mean Bean", later "Tank, Jr.", and finally "Lemmy" Metalhead.
There's ALOT more rules when it comes to tackling in the NFL then there was in the past 👌. . .
Imagine running as fast and hard as you possibly can at peak condition and then coming to a dead stop where you make contact with a 300 pound man who's addicted to the sound of "clack," literally dreams of it and celebrates before you even understand that you're not standing anymore.
@1:52, that punter is AUSTRALIAN TOO
"Above the waste their padded and their fine" I promise you as someone who played from 8th grade to college you are not always fine lol. The pads only do so much but you still feel the hits and can still have your upper body hurt really bad
There's an even more violent American sport - PBR (Pro Bull Riding) The cowboy has to stay on a bull for 11 seconds and often doesn't. "What a tackle!" in ruby or US football doesn't come close to "Ooh, he stepped on him." in PBR.
LMAO! This mans really said "They're padded. They're fine" LOLOLOL. Those pads dont mean much when the other dude is padded and running full tilt my boy. I'd love to see any pro rugby player pad up against a COLLEGE linebacker. Instant death.
As a gen x We play Rugby as kids for fun football tackles, but we call it football. We had no pads as kids.
NFL hospital passes, and NFL cheap shots, and or NFL ejections
MLB head shots. Some of those pitches are over 90 miles an hour and I believe there is INE head shot ball to bat then ball to pitchers head at 104 miles per hour.
Also look into these NFL players, Larry Alen, Lyle Alzado, Lawrence Taylor, Bill Romanowski, and Bo Jackson.
Helmet to helmet, launching and Horsecollar tackles are all illegal. The horsecollar is the most likely to cause injury though and has ended a lot of ppls careers not just in the NFL but in all ages. Its a ACL killer.
Growing up I’d always hear Athletes (primarily NOT from the United States) ‘drone-on’ about “yeah, but WE don’t wear Pads!”💪🏻
Tell me…would YOU want to NOT want to be wearing Pads?!🤷🏻♂️
It’s like when John Wayne [in Ireland watching a Hurling game] was asked “would you like to be out there with one of those (a Hurley) in your hand?”
His Reply?
💁🏻♂️ “Well I sure-as-hell wouldn’t like to be out there WITHOUT one!”
Heh, if you played football like football is played without pads and a helmet, you're probably leaving in an ambulance. I'd give most people 3-4 good hard shoulder tackles before something comes apart, too... there'd be an absolute rash of broken collarbones, dislocations, and torn up joints.
EDIT: The main point is that the pads aren't so much "padding" as they are force distribution so all the weight of the 240 pound guy you just slammed into at full pace isn't bearing down on a small single point of contact. You get a hip bone or shoulder on top of your clavicle with that kind of force and it'll snap like a stick.
The pads make the players hit even harder. In fact, there are more injuries with the pads than there used to be without.
It's similar in boxing. Once they started using the padded gloves, the boxers could throw harder punches, and the incidents of injury went way up.
And this is why football generates so many players with CTE, those pads and helmets just incentivize them to crash in at full speed because "I'm safe and that's all that matters" whereas rugby has the implicit mentality to slowdown or brace yourself somewhat before impact
Only about 7 more weeks until football season and I am SO ready. The main rule on tackling is that you cannot lead with your helmet. That's called targeting and it's the quickest way to be ejected from a football games!
Some Canadian Football in there too. Most of these hits are illegal today. Too many brain injuries.
Stuff like this is why they have to wear all that gear. Some people actually died or were permanently injured on the field during the game before the gear. Some still do get badly injured occasionally, and TBI is very common in later life.
No helmet to helmet(Targeting get you ejected from the game!) No horse collar Grabbing the pads... No chop blocking at the knees No tripping...
I love these clips and rodeo clips.
This was old school football in US. Don't really see this much anymore
I played both Football and Rugby...both are Tuff...and both should be respected. Nuff said...😎
A lot of the hits away from the ball are technically blocks. The offense can block a defender to keep them away from the ball-carrier, as long as they don't hold them. So, no wrap-up tackling, but if you smash into a guy and he happens to fall over, well, that's just a clean hard block.
Check out the ten scariest running backs and the strongest NFL players
You need to watch Ray Lewis’ most brutal tackles. Ray Lewis was a linebacker in the 2000’s-early 2010’s who was known for how hard he hit.
Some of the older hits are now penalties. Below the waist hits have tighter rules now. There is now a defenseless player penalty. The emphasis in teaching now is to tackle more like a rugby style tackle.
Find the video of Earl Campbell just flattening defenders trying to tackle him.
I suppose that answers the question of why they wear the pads and crash helmets... Doing the math, a collision between the top running back in the NFL and the top linebacker would, to someone stationary, feel like 200 kg (440 lbs.) hitting them at about 9 m/s (30 ft./s). That's an incredible amount of punishment.
The chinstraps on the helmets snap on and are designed to come off when a high level of force is applied in order to prevent serious neck injuries. That's why you see so many helmets come off in these "hard hits" videos.
You should watch Barry Sanders NFL highlights. As a rugby guy you will love it. He was amazing.
You saw how many of those were from the Seattle seahawks. The legion of boom was a force to be reckoned with. I'd reccomend looking up highlights from their superbowl year.
Yeah, most NFL players will say when you get tackled real good that it feels like you ran into a brick house at full speed.
As I'm sure its mentioned somewhere else in this comment thread... The pads football players wear... AREN'T to protect the players GETTING hit... The pads are to protect the people HITTING...
Think of them like boxing gloves... They were originally created to keep the opponent from getting hurt from the punches in boxing matches... But of course the person wearing the gloves quickly realized THEY could in fact hit HARDER with the gloves...
Yeah, we have a few "Unnecessary Roughness" penalties that would be called on many of these hits.
No helmet to helmet, no intentional targeting of the head, no grabbing the face mask (a favorite move of Night Train Lane), no picking people up and slamming them to the ground, no hitting the defenseless receiver, no hitting the returner before he's got the ball, no blindside blocks...
Still, it's a rough sport.
Really hard hits aside from the knock out ones are the ones where the helmet pops off like a champagne cork, the flag is unnecessary roughness, you can tackle someone without the ball only to defend the qb or one running with the ball otherwise you can get flagged depending on the ref
Recent changes to the rulez have made it so that you can only block by standing in front of a defender. A defender may only touch a runners hip, and then only if it is obvious they a reaching for the flag.
Ya, there are quite a few rules these days on a legal tackle and getting penalized or ejected from the game. Most rules on tackling are to reduce serious injuries, but there are still a lot of clean legal hits. Its almost as brutal as Hockey!
A lot of these are called "blindside blocks", they aren't using their arms. As long as the blocker is in front of the other person, and set up far enough away, the other person doesn't have to see it coming.
It's comparable to them running into a wall.
A person catching a pass is open game when the ball hits his hands.
Earliest years, they didn't even wear facemasks.
Besides the "helmet area" is the "horsecollar tackle", grabbing the back of a jersey or the back of the shoulder pads and pulling down.
I forget who said it, but a former player said playing football is like getting into a car accident, each and every week.
"Unnecessary roughness' is what is usually called.
There is a targeting penalty. You can't spear with the top of the helmet, lead with the head, or hit a defenseless player. If you get caught with a targeting you get ejected, if you get ejected in the second half you sit the first half of the next game.
Some good slobber knockers
@3:30 the picking someone up and slamming them down is a Grey area. Technically it's legal but the refs can call unnecessary roughness if they want. Basically if they think it was just how things went down it's OK, but if they think you were doing it to try and hurt the player or could have tsckled them without needing to resort to picking them up they can call it.
Some of these guys were lookin out from their earholes for a minute or 2 😅
Every inch matters, so they throw themselves full force. American Football is chess, with incredibly deep strategies and highly specialized positions... but played by Gladiators/Superheroes
The catchall call is, "unnecessary roughness."
Patrick Willis twice in the video. 💪
Welcome to the NFL brother!
Should check some of the Ray Lewis highlights. The man was an amazing player.
The biggest hit in the NFL was when Lawrence Taylor hit Joe Thiesmann and broke his leg, compound fracture, and ended his career. There's video on YT. Check out Lawrence Taylor, the most intimidating man in football.
Hitting someone without the ball is clean
Remember you have to be infront of the guy if he doesn't have the ball.
Howdy Lyle! So, these hits are from around 10-15 years ago, when the NFL wasn't run by a bunch of wimps and most of these hits were legal. Today, you're getting a hefty fine if you attempt something like this, or at the VERY least, a 15 yard penalty for targeting.
That padding doesn't do much actually but gives you a little more confidence. The average size is 6'2" and 270 pounds. They say it's equavalent to a 35 mph car crash.
This is why when people from other countries talk about "football," we Americans collectively say, "That's cute. Hold my beer." 😂👍🤷♂️ American Football is a pure combat sport. It's savage, nasty, and you're taught to make your opponent feel pain. It's designed to be played that way. 🤷♂️
Gotta watch Kam Chancellor the enforcer
The horse collar tackle is banned as can lead to injury
In 2022, the Dolphins QB, Tua Tagovailoa was hit and his head slammed in the ground so hard that his hands were contorting in an unnatural position because of a concussion. He was out for 3 weeks. come to find out, he shouldn't have been cleared to play in that game because of a previous concussion he suffered the week before.
Some of those were college games, a couple were high school or smallll college. And yah, that's the age when we put on helmet and pads... not full-contact tackle football; flag football - grab a flag hanging from the ball carrier's waist.
They play full tackle from childhood on here in the south. Our middle school was full tackle at 6th grade/age 11. You can get it even younger before that in the rec leagues. I wouldn't let my own kid though. The lifetime injuries isn't worth it.
