It's Rees Lightning. Was called that in Wales for a reason ⚡💥
I think we are in for a treat with LRZ.
The whole point of Rugby is to keep possession of the ball, big guys are constantly trying to rip it off him, that will not be a problem for him. Game awareness and tactics will be where he will be on the steep learning curve.
I think the biggest difference LRZ will find between rugby and the NFL, is that if he is the ball carrier, ALL the defenders will be like homing missiles, homing in on just him ( blockers withstanding). Whereas in rugby, defenders have to have one eye on their opposite number and one eye on the ball carrier. They have to be ready for the ball carrier to off load ( lateral) the ball, left or right, before or during a tackle. More often than not, a defender will have to trust his colleague on his inside or outside to tackle the ball carrier; whilst they maintain marking their opposite number, just in case the ball is passed to them. In the NFL; because laterals are virtually never used, all defenders just home in on the ball carrier; from all directions. The dynamics are totally different.
Also the types of tackles are different in the NFL. "No arms/ chop tackles" were banned in rugby a few years ago. In the NFL, players launch themselves; shoulder pads or helmet first, at a player's knees. (Hence why there are so many ACL injuries). That's no longer allowed in Rugby. Plus you can't take a man out if he is jumping in the air to take a ball and his feet are off the ground. I think LRZ is in for a rude awakening by what is "allowed" in the NFL; but I do think he is more than tough enough to handle it. I'm Welsh and am a huge rugby fan; but have also been watching the NFL since it was first shown on TV in the UK in 1981. My NFL hero - John "The Diesel" Riggins". That man was a human wrecking ball.
Your concerns and questions are mine as well
The first time LRZ laterals to someone, it will break NFL pundit shows for the next two days.
I think the majority of ACL injuries are non-contact.
I've said for a long time that in Football, very few people tackle. They HIT, but they don't tackle. That won't work all the time against a Rugby Guy as they're trained to instinctually ride impact and keep going. Look at Christian Wade's debut Touchdown for the Bills a few years back (he played a similar style to Zammit). He bounced out of a 3 man tackle and kept going.
Sadly for Wade, time was against him. I seem to remember he was early 30's. LRZ, 23... I can't help thinking about the other values that Louis has, and the crossover going the other direction. Passing ( laterals ) receiving & catching. Tackling, rugby style. Rucks ( no translation!!)
Mad thing is, he's already a success. Fan numbers, shirt sales, interest around the world. Oh, and the girls love him.
He will make the 53, just hope the target on his back doesn't spoil it. Cymru am Beth 🏴
Cymru am byth! Sorry I, I know, I know, hit the predicted txt without engaging brain. You guys in the U.S won't get it, but don't want to upset the boyos! 🏴♥️
@@Sonikgav good point unless the get him down he won't stop and they will certainly struggle to catch up if he gets 2 yards of space
A significant difference that LRZ will have deal with is making sure he secures the ball during the tackle. In rugby, you are looking to recycle the ball and your team mates are always waiting to secure the ball or receive the off load. In nfl, you rarely off load in the ball during the tackle. With respect to tackles, the main difference is that you don’t need to wrap the player when tackling in the nfl, in rugby you cannot tackle a player in the air and you will normally be facing the tackler.
Kick returner, is probably the closest role in nfl to rugby, this would be normal business for LRZ, running back is not dissimilar to receiving the ball close to a ruck.
Finally, the main difference is the structure of nfl. Every player has a role every single play, so learning plays is definitely the thing that will be hardest.
I think LRZ, if he's as advertised, should be in screens, options and reverses where his existing improvisational skills can be maximized.
It's "Rees Lighting "
All you lot talking about hits 🙄
You have no idea how tough and hard the hits are in rugby.
These rugby players take hits from bosa sized players all the time and get up and carry on.
You Americans think you hit the hardest all the time but personally you don't.
Check out the All blacks, or the French in the six nations, have you seen how hard they hit 😮
Even rugby league is extremely physical.
Also in rugby you generally don't swap out offence and defence so his fitness and strength is combined with supreme endurance.
Also you are not taking into account he is Welsh and rugby and generally being physically strong people is in their nature.
I strongly believe you are underestimating him on how strong he is.
Just be glad the NFL never had Jonah lomu "RIP" big guy, playing in it as he would have flattened everyone.
@@davedevonlad7402 6"4 260 lbs 100 meters 10.8 I challenge any yank to take down that tank 🤣
@@richardstuart3882 Remember him steamrolling mike catt and others in the semi final in Africa in 1995.
Utterly devastating and awesome inspiring to watch.
Rugby's more endurance. Less quick-twitch. NFL is almost all quick-twitch.
LRZ has never been tackled by a 320-pound defensive lineman.
Pads make players think they're invincible. Collisions in the NFL are more violent.
That doesn't mean rugby players are soft. I think the sport is every bit as demanding as NFL football. The amount of running, alone, is much more in rugby. I think the rugby collisions without pads require at least as much toughness, but it's a different kind of toughness. Making the adjustment is very challenging. If it were easy, the NFL would have a lot more rugby player conversions.
@@harrymills2770 How many NFL players have moved to rugby and been successful ?
"Quick -twitch" have you not watched rugby 🙄
And the hits COME ON rugby is absolutely brutal compared to the NFL.
You talk well but have no idea on rugby at all.
And the weight, have you not seen the size of these guys, the heaviest player currently is 352lbs and many of the big guys are around 300+ and that's most of them.
I think LRZ has been "hit" with no pads on, picked up and almost a pile driver into the ground by these big guys and then to not only get up and carry on but dominate a game.
Rugby is bone on bone, muscle to muscle viciousness.
In the NFL you go after the ball, in rugby you take out the player.
The only problem LRZ will have is to remember not to smack the opposition too hard but as he will be on offense it will be unlikely.
If you need more evidence just look up "rugby and blood"
@@harrymills2770 I beg to differ he's been hit by big guys since he was 18 at club and international level he's got 4 years of taking big hits constantly against guys built for endurance not built for short spurts who are mostly flabby he will enjoy being hit by anything over 300lb in the NFL because it'll be like getting hit by a bouncy castle 🤣
If LRZ can take the hits, and there will be a ton of hits, he definitely looks promising!
Worthy is putting fear in AFC.
Exactly the same in rugby. Every tackle is an attempt to strip the ball, including on the floor. And if you can keep the runner from getting a knee to the floor it's a potential turn over
I'd claim that it's even harder in rugby (union) because you both have to hold the ball during the tackle but then release it after in a position advantageous to your side
The upper body bulk LRZ’s put on is testament to his understanding of the difference between rugby and NFL tackling
Wasn't he measured at a high 4.2 during the international players camp but under performed at the official day?
Yep
Yeah, he has said that
I'm sure he is not lying, but I would like to see footage of it or footage over the next few weeks showing that type of speed
Exciting times, regardless
He's also bulked up quite a lot the last few months.
Looking forward to preseason games
It's a tall ask for LRZ to make the change to the NFL but i like the way he's giving it a strong go. I hope he can do it and if he can that is some real speed we will have on this team and we all know what speed does!! GO CHIEFS
Not greased, rees lighting, that's his nickname back in Wales 🏴
Wiley tryna be the next Kittle?! I love his energy. Looking forward to his time with us!
Can LRZ be the kickoff kicker?
Hollywood and Worthy on the outside, and Rice slotted?
Shame he didn't really feature in the full training today. Hopefully not a bad omen and they are just easing him in as it's his first ever full America football practise
Travis' laterals started this wish to change their game... i expect lots of laterals from here on out. LRZ will bring a whole new culture... we might set the franchise TD record.. WHEW, HBTC
Does anyone know what time the practices go to? Im going to camp in 2 weeks on Sunday and cant find anything on how long practice goes after it starts at 9ish
Every practice is different. I’ll be at practice next weekend reporting from practice
Does Locked on have either of these guys actually at Camp? Ryan I think is in Colorado. Does Chris show up in person at the Camps?
Yes we will be at camp
@@LockedOnChiefs Great!
Hahah you don’t get hit in a scrum! He played wing, nowhere near the scrum that’s for the forwards. Trust me he can take hits, but his hips are slick and he evades hits and drops the shoulder into defenders he will be ace! He looks to have bulked up too!
What's next the royals signing a cricket player it could happen
Lrz won't be the first rugby player to play for the chiefs 🤣Jordan Mailata ring any bells?
@@richardstuart3882Jordan played Rugby League (not Rugby)
@@jackmansfield1689 There's a difference between Rugby League & Union but the differences between the Sports are irrelevant to the move to Football. The core transferable skills are basically the same.
Louis will be a marked man. He’s not American, he comes from rugby and he’s fast. I personally think he’ll handle it but not every week. Americans love scalps. Opposing teams will have players with the job of hitting LRZ and hitting him hard.
What do you think happens in rugby?
I don't know if this is true. Depends on what his role is ultimately, I think.
Your right, he will be a marked man, but there have been some very quick opposition been made to look silly in the past , he's quick enough to evade most tackles
Speed means nothing unless it’s in pads!! We’ll
See if it transfers in pads. If so he’ll be a major help on special teams!! I’m calling it now special teams will win us three games this year during the regular season. And special teams will be great in the playoffs!! Bling bling bling Mofo’s
Adding pads to lrz will do nothing to his speed
His size and strength makes me think pads won't make much difference to him
Sheesh please go and watch some rugby more. Thinking they aren't out to smash you in rugby is ridiculous. You have 20 stone blokes literally coming for you to purposely put you down.... Even talking about if he can keep the ball is embarrassing.
