Only here cuz of Tebow's new position
Me too
So am I but I'm still kinda confused
The hb position
I'm just starting football and this helped me a lot
Same
Me too😭😭
Me too man
Same
Yea same I’ve been playing football with friends lately
I have a dad who is VERY big into football and an older brother who plays varsity. It wasn’t til this highschool season that I started caring about football and I just recently figured out how it actually works. This has helped so much
Glad it helped! Let us knw if you have any questions!
know*
I've gone to every game this year for my high school since I'm part of the film crew and wanted to go support them..... I have no clue what actually happens in the games
We hope our videos can help! Happy to answer any questions you may have!
@@LearnFootballWithvIQtory did you mention witch position goes against each position
@@metalica2274 it’s not always necessarily going against each position. It depends on the play. Some plays may have the Line backers blitzing the A gap to sack the QB or have them at the B gap or just back to get the running back. Or have DB’s not doing man to man, etc. It really just all depends
I know this is supposed to be just the basics but you missed two positions, TE and FB. Honestly, FB isn't that important as it's not used very often but I would have recommended adding in the TE as it's used in almost every play.
Exactly!! I was just about to comment on what about those positions 😕
Check his pinned comment
what does a TE do
Saw another video that didn't cover slot recievers at all. So do teams generaly run a TE/FB combo and some run two SR?
This is a confusing sport but I kinda get it
Swoup Xtentions damn that’s harsh 😂
I do go outside I’m from India Ik my sport it’s called cricket I just don’t know American football that well you didn’t have to be rude
Ay man don’t them let them take you down you good It is confusing
Swoup Xtentions I mean you can’t be talking you make fortnite videos LMAO 🤣
Swoup Xtentions I love how Fortnite is just auto based when you play war zone and shit he’s, an Indian boy and in case you forgot India’s honor students are 28% of there population which is more than all the kids we have in the us so sit down. And you use tik tok 🤮
Hey. I already know a lot about football before even watching this video but I appreciate you trying to teach others about the game. Some things you missed out are the tight end which is a combo of a blocker and receiver. on running plays you could have 2 to help block and on passing plays usually 1 but rarely youll have 2 to make the defense think its going to be a run Also you missed on the fullback which is key for running plays to succeed. I know its pretty complex but I think you can do it in a more simple way then I can. Thanks for teaching kids around the world
I agree with everything you said. Do you think it's fair to say, the dual TEs are used more in the passing game these days than they were in the past? When New England was doing it with Gronk and Hernandez it was very effective. That was a hell of a pair of TEs on the field at the same time. When Gronk was at his peak, he was the best TE I have ever seen play.
He mentioned running backs which includes the fullback but yeah he could've explained the tight end a bit better
I was just about to ask that. Thanks.
I already knew about football, but now that my close friends and stuff are playing, I gotta be an expert.
safeties?
My boys started football for the first time 6 wks ago and I've been searching for something that just taught basics and positions in plain English. You made the most sense!!
Thank you!
Glad it could help!
@@LearnFootballWithvIQtory You forgot about TE and fullback
Thanks for this. I am a soccer player but just decided to look into football , im tryna be the best in this game
I’m QB for my 7th grade team. I know the basics but I wanted to make sure that I fully understood so I could play the game and not worry abt messing up. Thanks!
As a QB for my 7th grade team (More of a club, we don't compete) I knew nothing about football before (A friend of mine roped me in) and everyone throwing around foreign terms made me feel really stupid and out of place. I'm now studying football so I don't look like a moron.
@@han-huo I’m not even trying to hate but how are you qb and don’t know anything
@@han-huo how did you get chosen as QB then??
@@readdeadbruhmoments3136 Our school is not very athletic, there was no one else to choose over me lol
@@eggrolledison5687 They had no other options lmao
thanks man, ive just got into american football after a long career with rugby league, thanks for the info!
Tbh as a fan living in India i have seen many consider this sport as a confusing one and too complicated but imo once you start watching it regularly there is no way out of it you fall in love with it 😍Beauty of sports
Join a fantasy football league and you’ll really be in love.
@@slokom123 how to join bro. I am from India I have no idea about it.
Thank you so much bro! 🏈
Edit: just wanted to say how grateful this guy is, he’s literally hearting comments after 3 years!
As a european who’s trying to learn the sport this really helped. Thanks!
Glad it helped!!
I am My middle schools linebacker and this helped me a lot throughout last season
I am grateful there are videos like these THIS HELPED ALOT I’m about to do some training tomorrow so just wanted to see some basics and the way your positions are supposed to be! Cant wait I. Really excited
For offense you forgot the Tight end and fullback
Alex Chepi yeah i was so confused when he didnt say fullback
What's a full backs role and would they replace?
@@glennmcdonald4084 a full back is the same as a Running Back. If there are 2 RBs on the field they're technically a Halfback and a Fullback. Just think of Half- and Fullbacks as Running backs, less complicated :)
@@Catchphrase89 Thanks :)
@@glennmcdonald4084 actually fullbacks have a big use. They arent really running backs as they dont get the ball much but more they block for the running back. They would usually replace a slot receiver because when you are running the ball there isnt a need for a slot receiver. They are in front of the running back so if the offensive line fails to guard properly. you have back up.
Think of it like capture-the-flag but with chess pieces, and similar rules for each piece's / players movement.
Quarterback = King. Slowest, but most important. Gets the ball first on most offensives play.
Running Back = Queen. *Should* the games most utility player. Starts each play usually near QB / King.
Offensive Line = Pawns. Great big giant pawns, but they don't move forward much, not fast at all, and fall over often.
Receivers = Weaponry: Castel, Knight, Bishop. There are names like "Slot," "Wide-out," "Split End," and Tight Ends, but they usually run really fast and can jump high and catch the ball well.
I like it!
I really want to do football but I didn’t know much about positions. This helped me a lot thanks
thanks! i was going to a football game with my friends and didnt know the roles. this helped a lot!
Thank you for this video !my son is a lineman and I have no idea how football works but this is so helpful
I’m a freshman in high school and i wanted to try food all but the names we’re really confusing for me and I couldn’t get it even with my older brother (a soft more in high school) but this video really helped and I think I understand a lot better now thank you
Glad it helped! Good luck this year!
Thanks My son is playing JUCO ball in Arizona. This helped a lot.
Thank you! My son started playing football as a wide receiver. I wanted to have a better understanding of his position and how it relates to the others.
Glad it helped! Hope he does well! 🏈
thanks a lot, this has helped me get on my feet to start playing football
my teacher linked this vid for a school assignment
same
Great video. That said I did not see any mention of a tight end or full back.. The tide in position identity position is arguably one of the most important positions. They're usually used in almost every play and have a very important job. Anyway, again great video and this will be a great video to help my boys learn the sport.
Thanks so much! im trying out for high school football and this helps out a lot!
can you make a video on what requirements each position has phisically?
Thank you so much man this filled my brain with more knowledge of the positions, now I just need to learn the names of certain plays and routes 😂
thank you so much this helps a lot with understanding the rules and how it's set up
This is very helpful to understand football as a sidle line cheerleader
Simple and straight to the point 👍
Brilliant summary thank you for that.
Thanks for the video I like playing defense and it helped a lot
Im a kicker looking to play other positions next year this was perfect thank you
I used this video to make it on a d1 college team at a walk on event…. thanks.
Great job! 🏈
I just like how the word Quarterback sounds and i’m finally about to discover what it actually means.
lol 🤣 what country are you from
Great video! Me and brothers are starting football this is a huge help for us!
Thank you this helped major. Just got into American football heavy last year and this really summed it up for me! Thumbs up for sure 👍🏼
Thank you so much!
Thanks I just got into football and am starting my second season of football and I wanna play it right soo thanks
I'm reading the comments and this is its simplest! This is great! We can tell there's footballers watching these videos because they are saying you missed things like how to run a hail marry, power runs, or how to win a superbowl!
this is so helpful thank you so much I now know what they are saying in games
i am 17 from belgium and i am thinking about trying out the sport for fun but im not sure about the basics i should know, this video helped alot!

Bro im just about to start freshman football this is so useful
Thank you this thought me so much😌😀👍
I am starting JV football on Wednesday so this really helped
And what does the tight end do?
The Tight End is a hybrid between an offensive lineman and a wide receiver. They are used to block as well as catch passes.
Exactly. I was wondering if they would be in the OL or WR group.
Typically they line up with the offensive linemen but will stay open to catch the ball
I'm a girl and I'm joining my little brothers football team, so this is really gonna help for my first practice in 3 days, wish me luck
Good luck!
How was it?

Doing this for this one cute guy after volley practice don't ask me just smile and scroll
That's sweet.
Are you gay
i’m here bc the guy i like is a football player and i want to understand his game lol
May y'all end up in the arms of one another
How did it end up going?
Just started football bro, thanks man 😎
This video is very simplistic in the positions and descriptions Running back is a general description. The specific position names are halfback and fullback. The halfback is the primary running back and is the one described here. The fullback is usually somewhere in front of the halfback and is used mainly for blocking, but will on occasion, get the ball to run with it. There's no mention of tight ends here. I guess that's too complicated to talk about in this video as it is a hybrid position of blocker/receiver.
Succinct. Beautifully done. TY
Going in to middle school football and this help me for playing rb and wr
I’m going to tryout for 7th grade football next year but idk anything and I really want to join football. This helped me a lot and I still have a lot of time left to practice throwing the balls and catching them
Good luck!
This is cool. So is a tight end a slot receiver? Hadn’t heard that term before. Great video, probably simple to some, but I never understood the defensive positions. Hope there is another video on types of lineups for pass play or run play.
Just started playing madden and im not from US but i want to learn about the sports. Thanks!
this is so helpful
My girlfriends family is heavy into football so thank you for the easy explanation
nice expl. i hope my mother understands it, i try to learn it to her, this video should help a lot
Thanks!
thank you bro
The Center, or as one of my friends calls it, the "Snap man". :)
You have to be very smart as a center
Thank you so much I’m very new to this game but I do quite enjoy it please could you explain what is secondary is
Secondary and "defensive backs" are the same thing. The cornerbacks, and safety positions are often referred to as the "secondary"
Thank you I am starting football for the first time this year and almost know nothing
I'm thinking about joining next year and dropping band so this helps
Thanks, brother. Really helpful.
Glad it helped! Appreciate the comment!
This helped all lot
I'm real nervous because I'm joining football but luckily this taught me how the positions work
I definitely recommend watching more than just this video. The video misses out on a few positions.
Good work lad
thank you
,, great show
