@@absolutelysobeast My son said he's seen it a bunch on college football this year. I was surprised because I don't remember it happening very often since I started watching about 30 years ago...
Every coach at every level should tell all his players (after they view one example of this utter stupidity) do not even think about dropping the ball anywhere near the endzone. It is inexcusable at any level.
The average NFL player has the IQ of my pet rock from the 1970's. You would think (obviously Corley didn't) that if he was scoring his very first TD in the NFL, he would make sure to carry that ball all the way to the sideline, give it to a team manager to hold onto until it found it's way to the mantle over his fireplace, or his trophy room. But no, he decided to just drop his first TD on the 1 yard line.
WTF, the average IQ of an NFL player is around 105, considering that around 54% are black (4 times as much as the overall pop representation in the US), NFL players are roughly 11 pts higher than the average American.
This happens far too often. If I was a coach, I would tell my players that if anyone does this, they'll either be cut or expect to miss **significant** playing time.
100% agree. This has happened twice in a 5 day span. I’d show my players both instances and then tell them if it happened, they'd be cut or miss 5 games. No exceptions.
The mentality of, "I'm so kewl I'm not going to hold the ball for one second longer than I have to," is so weird. How about look at the ref, wait for the signal, and then spike the ball like a boss.
I heard announcers say something like it was only his second touch in his nfl career, making excuses for him, like he didn’t play ball for 4 years in high school and 2-4 years in college. Should have figured out how to hold on to the ball freshman year in HS.
This s**t happens so often, there needs to be a fine for it. Not by the NFL, but something the team puts in as a basic addition to every contract. You drop the ball before entering the endzone, without being touched, you lose $50k
I remember when it happened to Kaelin Clay…he dropped the ball at the 1 or 2 of Oregon, and he celebrated. However, two officials just stood there and made no signal…finally Oregon players fought off a Utah player for the ball and one official threw his hat (to mark a fumble recovery) and ran with the Oregon defenders to the OTHER end zone…TOUCHDOWN OREGON!
This is almost becoming commonplace in football over the last decade. Players are so focused on strutting and preening that they abandon every other thought in their head. Look at the idiot Bears' peacock that single-handedly lost a game taunting the fans during a hail Mary pass. From dropping the ball before the goal line, staging musical dance routines in the end zone, to posturing after gaining 3 yards for a first down in the middle of the field in the first quarter, I long back to the day when great players said when you score a TD act like you've been there before.
What amazes me is how they always nail the timing of this mistake, just close enough to the endzone, but not quite far enough to count. I'm sure it's survivorship bias (we only notice it when it happens this way), but come-on.
My whole family was arguing about this play with my aunt. Aunt: they should give them the touchdown because jets fans deserve it (vikings fan... she knows pain) Everyone else: it shouldn't because people need to know the consequences of their actions.
He'll be lucky to stay on the team let alone get any of the bonuses he was expecting! I remember the "OLDEN DAYS" when players would spike the ball in the endzone, got to bring that back.
As a falcons fan. We all know that Pitts was just a camera angle away from this happening to him. He better not let this happen for the rest of his career
One of the many things that drove me away from watching the NFL was the showboating. It’s like the whole league has daddy issues and every success must be exploited to bring the attention that the missing father never supplied.
I remember when Steven Ridley had a bad series of fumbles so Belichik any week he fumbles made him hold a ball in his hands all week. Everywhere he went, on the bench, on the plane, everywhere
Every NFL coach/owner needs to set every one of their players down and tell them point blank that whoever does this look at me shit play just walk off the field and start emptying your locker.
He was so busy rehearsing in his mind for the idiotic preplanned ‘celebration’ that he plum forgot to carry the ball into the end zone. Moments like these are where I wish guys like John Riggins and Ahmad Rashad were still playing the game. When they found the end zone, they didn’t do all this dance nonsense; they acted like they’d been in the endzone before.
I just watched a video early Thursday regarding this phenomenon a few years back. It has not happened for a while. Imagine players seeing the video and wanting to see how close they could get to the endzone while dropping the ball simultaneously. THIS IS GARBAGE! SPORTS ARE BROKEN.
How can the NFL have this angle in this game but not in the Buccaneers/Falcons game on October 27th? That ball was clearly stripped by Winfield before crossing the goal line.
I think this rash of drops at the one-yard line is due to a failure of coaching. Coaches are telling receivers (as if they needed to be told): "Don't drop the ball until you are in the end zone." What they should be telling receivers is: "Don't drop the ball until you take two steps in the end zone."
I don't play football, but I truly don't understand. I've seen this happen a dozen times at both the college and NFL levels. Is it really that hard to hold on to the ball until you are in the end zone and the whistle is blown?
I don't even know how a brain like that works, it's showing off to drop the ball as close to end zone line as possible? He would never play another down for me, that's what you learn in peewee football. You can't fix stupid
Why do players keep doing this? My guess is the lack of self-awareness, especially when one is on an adrenaline high from being so close to the end zone, they forget about the actual distance and prematurely drop the ball, thinking they are already at the end zone when they are not. This is the best explanation I can give, for lack of better wording, mental errors can happen, and it's more probable when the stakes are much higher, such as an actual football game where wins and losses matter.
I mean your explanation is obvious. The bigger question is how this has become an instinct of players at all. It's been a long time since I played, but I can assure you this was never an instinct of any of our players. If anything guys would be holding onto the ball too long until the refs came to get it back. It probably has something to do with entitlement, impatience, and a culture of self-celebration.
In his excitement, the player forgets that there are 2 components to the touchdown: the player and the ball. He thinks: Look at me! *I* am scoring this touchdown! I'm going to do some kind of celebration. Emotions take over. The ball becomes an afterthought. The ball becomes forgotten in that moment of self congratulation.
In The 70's you scored and you SPIKED the ball. pretty simple. you need to get INTO the endzone to do that. make your team JUST do that and this dumb move goes away.
Make the entire team do 110 yard sprints holding the football. That's going from the goal line on one side of the field to the end line at at the back of the endzone on the other side. Teach everyone to hold on to the ball all the way through the endzone. Yes, everyone.
This is what happens when players think more about celebrating and having a good time versus putting in the work. If I was the coach, there will be no more celebrations until the end of the game. Period.
They’re not a team of washed up players. Yes there’s prolly one or two but A Rod isn’t one of them. He’s a middle of the pack qb which is way better than what they had the last few seasons. Unfortunately the defense got a lot worse this year. Looked good finally tonight tho
Unless they've changed the rules, I think you have to be in possession of the ball when you cross the goal line in order for it to be scored as a touchdown...🤔
Where the hell was that goal line camera view in the Tampa Bay vs Atlanta game where Winfield jr knocked the ball out of the Atlanta receivers hand before he crossed the goal line.That play changed the whole complexion of the game. The excuse by Mike Perriera was that they didnt have a goal line camera......REALLY!!! seems odd the NFL wouldnt have that camera for EVERY NFL game.
Oh my God the world is coming to an end. I guess no one is entitled to a second chance. He's a helluva talent and deserves that chance. What's wrong with fans today?
Happens often enough that offensive coordinators should do the run the "Hand-the-ball-to-the-official-drill," whereby you have a staff member, wearing a striped, shirt stand in the end zone and have every player on the team run the ball in and toss/hand the ball to the staff member. THEN, warn them that should a player intentionally drop the ball BEFORE crossing the goal line during a game...they will run this drill 100x AFTER being forced to watch it 100x during film day!
I’m a Jets fan and yeah, that’s just inexcusable. Understandable if that’s your first TD, but you can’t do that. At the end of the day, we managed to win the game, so I can now sleep happily. Also, Jets have one more primetime game and it’s against the Colts. If the Jets do improve from here, it might be interesting but Idk. I’ll take my win and run with it.
Belichik would’ve buried him so far on the bench he’d be lucky to be on the practice squad for the rest of the season. that’s why the Jets will never get anywhere. They don’t have coaches or an ownership they can piece a winning team together. Let’s face it, nowadays we watch the Jets for the comedy.
When swag trumps scoring. I’d fine him, bench him and suspend him. Then have him do 10 lap 4 a days running across goal to goal end lines. Inexcusable.
And then _after_ this inexcusable moment of abject stupidity, Davante Adams celebrated his own imminent touchdown by raising the ball with one hand, 8 yards before crossing into the end zone, and despite having two defenders bearing down on him. Wilson did the same thing prior to his own earlier touchdown. Thank goodness I'm not a Jets fan, because I couldn't be a Jets fan.
That's not a rookie mistake, that's just a STUPID move on his part.
I wish I was the coach & could say you’re cut…there’s plenty of players out there…super replaceable
You can’t call this “a rookie mistake” dude’s been playing football since he was a kid. This is basic fundamentals.
It's showboating, so it is not merely stupid. It suggests an excess of narcissism.
Overpaid
Hes black that’s why
I’ve seen this 8 times so far this year. So many players thinking they’re hot when they’re not.
8 times? absolutely not

@@johnskibajr5691 Even in the end zone, like Calvin Johnson did that one time...
Your job: hold onto the ball until the whistle blows
NY Jets players: every play??
Hold onto it even when the whistle blows
Correct and you see the official with the touchdown arms up signal.
That's what happens when the basics are forgotten. More focused on the celebration than the execution of the basics and helping your team.
Some of these players spend more effort practicing TD celebrations than they to game preparation
This has nothing to do with basics. He intentionally dropped the ball before he scored. It's blatant disrespect.
It's the showboat mentality.

Or throwing up a middle finger to the man.

Defenses should be taught to ALWAYS pick up the ball if it’s on the ground!
they are. Offenses are also taught not to drop the ball early. This is an example of players not doing what they've been taught
The WR’s teammates should have picked it up too
@ they are not! You don’t know what is taught by each team in the NFL! SMH…
@@_DB.COOPER well by your own logic you wouldn’t know if they are or aren’t taught these things either. Weak hypocrite 🫵🤡🤫

NFL rookies have been playing football for maybe 15 years before. There is not a reason other than stupidity.
Along with that flashy mistake, both teams celebrating a first down with no points on the scoreboard ... MADNESS!
This is “the culture”
Why do they keep doing this? Their ego, never underestimate an NFL player’s ego lol
This is basic knowledge... HOLD ON THE BALL 😂
Right! Hold on until you hear the whistle blow or refs call it a tuddy
When the need to showboat and celebrate outweighs the importance of actually winning.

this is classic NY Jets football.
Hotdogging fools. When players think they are irreplaceable, their careers are short. Does not matter what team they are …
Coaches need to talk to their players about this.
Well Jets still got the win, but still such a bone headed mistake. It doesn't get more inexcusable than this.

Wide receivers doing wide receiver things. I swear this happens atleast 1-2 times a year in college and pro's

he is supposed to be a "pro". they teach to protect the ball until the play is complete.

I went to school at WKU where Corley went so I saw him play in college. It hurts to see this because I wanted to see him get his first TD.
So we have goal line cameras now. Yey.
It's like dude just spike the ball in the end zone
Guaranteed to cross the line that way 😂
Really curious, why do players do this?
Is there some kind of street cred to see how close past the goal line they can drop the ball or something?
All the other players not jumping on the ball are just as stupid
How can the NFL have this angle in this game but not in the Buccaneers/Falcons game on October 27th? That ball was clearly stripped by Winfield before crossing the goal line.
This is something I've seen alot. When i played we was always told give back to ref never drop it
Because this was caught on camera from multiple angles he won't need to admit his mistake. I predict a funky vibe in the locker room.
