Having watched both, I like this one a lot better. It doesn't have forced jokes.
This is great but why the hell do I hear crickets in the background
Haha, my window was open when I recorded this one. I usually try to eliminate the background noise now.
TheOnDeckCircle I like the crickets in the background. :)
Snickrsnack y not?
I liked the crickets
Homies in a tent outside cause his house is to loud
The typing of the keyboard, crickets in the background... This was some asmr before asmr was a thing
My boyfriend plays football so I am trying to understand more so I can connect with him about something that he loves. This video was very helpful lol. Thank you
Alana Laprise same my bf loves football so much and I’m trying to understand what he’s saying all the time lol

If he don’t marry you, I will

For me, the best way to get to know a new sport is to play that sports video game. That is how i got into basketball...
Yea but madden's ass

Thanks for the clear explanations. I've just become a football (well, Patriots) fan at 79 with this last Super Bowl Game (I was a tap dancer as a kid and football players were kind of the natural enemy). The way you describe the game and its rules makes it all much less overwhelming than I thought they would be. Now I can appreciate a little more than just whether the guy the quarterback throws the ball at catches it or not.
Thank you for making these videos, I used to competitively play Euro football and still watch it, but always appreciated the complexity of American football, its like a game of chess played with a 52 card deck.
I'm 2ft 1 inches and weight 250ib's what position should I play?
Cheerleader
HAHAHAHAHA
SNIFFMYBADGER left bench
Water boy
Point Guard

James Hampton ya daddy
Your description is very detailed!! I followed you in baseball and now football! I have learned so much watching your videos. Thank you
30 years old and I just had my first football practice. It was awesome and I can't wait for the next. Hoping to tackle some poor guys, knock 'em down.
Thank you dude I’ve been thinking of joining my schools team and I didn’t know much about football but this has really helped
Mad MS Paint skills bro. :-)
For new immigrant to the US,like me - who wanna understand the game,your videos help a lot ! Thank You very much !
Thank you! I've watched many football tutorials but yours really explains it in much greater detail!
I just joined a women football team and this was a really good visual as you explained the positions and their roles.
Glad you liked it, more on football to come soon!
THANK YOU! This is the first video on RUclips that was taught well enough for me, a beginner.
i love how thoroughly you present the terms. Wonderful software too!

Ry2K100 So have you been watching football now? If so what do you think about it?
Ry2K100 lol rugby is pretty disorganised
Bro what part I’ll train you
Crickets?
Your videos have really helped me to learn more about football. I'm a new football fan and trying by all means to understand the game and especially don't make a fool of myself during matches. Lol, thank you very much.
Thank-you very much for your video. I'm a rookie starting out in Gridiron Australia and this has helped me learn a lot.
I'm a newbie learning about football and this was very helpful, so thanks
RYAN RICH what grade you going into? I wanna start playing football but I feel like it’s too late cuz I’ve never been on a team before
@@rizryn5690 it's not, like my school deans always say, "you don't have to be good at a sport or understand the sport to be able to make the team", that's what the coaches are for
@@rizryn5690 same
@@dioniciogonzalez2522 not if u go to my school lmao
bonesnav what grade are you in?
this was a easy to follow video thank you
You have been soooo much help to me ... So understandable ... My husband watches football, my son plays football ... and i am so lost ... i want to be able to enjoy the game with them ... now i am beginning to understand football ... again, thanks for taking the time to post this video ...
Now Im playing my first year of football this year as a junior not knowing anything about football and this saved me thank you.
im from the uk and trying to get into NFL, found the visuals very useful, but i did find the audio a bit bring, but thanks at it was very useful for a beginner like me
you gonna make it bud, all you have to be is 400lbs and iq of 4
TeamPill haha not really
yeah you need to know all the plays by number
TeamPill in all actuality..linemen tend to be the smartest players on the field!!!
Carlos Moeller All the linemen I've ever seen are just fat meat heads...
My P.E. class is doing a football unit and I was so confused, and now i get it, so thank you
Zai Passion i mean if it was P.E. i don't think they should get that into depth into the game unless it's for the school team, it's just P.E. they shouldn't be making you learn this yet
Thank you so much for this video..i just joined the sport and am new to it!! and this made it very helpful to learn!! Now i have a great idea of who i am when I'm standing in a position on the o-line!!
Your voice and the crickets make this very soothing to watch
Good teaching....Thanks !
Thank you it was really helpful
Starting Football Season again. Thank you for the refresher!
Thank you so much, I wanted to come back to this video a couple months later this video help me out so much with my first year playing football
Great video, thank you very much :)
I’ve played this game all my life, but I’m just so interested in seeing how others perceive and explain it :)

I dont understand football and my coaches always scream at me for nothing I hate it
M_To_The_B football is a sport that turns boys into men. Teaches, trust, teamwork, and most of all, taking accountability. Best believe if a coach is screaming at you, your teammates will be in a game time scenario if you miss your assignment. That’s all it is man, don’t take anything a coach says as negative, or to heart, they only wanna make you better and improve you. The games 90% mental and 10% physical, so keep gaining knowledge and work hard on and off the field. You’ll learn to love the game and find out it’s what will make or break you
thank God for people like you who can make excellent follow video, great job bro
Thank you man, this was great work with very simple graphics and explanation.
Yeah, my tight end needs to take a step forward. I do get into an explanation for formations in the "Pre-snap Requirements" video.
Thank you so much! As a Brit trying to get into NFL this was really helpful!
The best American Football intro to date; thank you
I've been playing football for 3yrs and I still get confused. I'm bad at any position, and I feel like a failure to the team. This video helped me so freaking much. Thank you
e before the i - receiver
but thanks for explanation, well done.
Thanks... good job! Very simple and easy to catch!
Thanks so much for your videos. I got much more enjoyment out of the Superbowl thanks to you!
Thanks for this. I’ve just gotten into football within the last 2 years. Until this video I still didn’t understand the position names.
The strong safety is always on the same side of the field as the tight end (if there are two tight ends then it doesnt matter)
Thanks for the help I'm playing 8th grade football this year and the last time I played football was flag and I never really understood the positions
+michael olson Cool.
What position did you play
What position did you play?
And now I finally understand football positions! Thank you so much!
I live in England, how can I get into football and NFL?
***** would if i could.
+BatFanPlays Watching games on TV (if you can) or video games always helped me learn a new sport.
+BatFanPlays Hey I'm from Germany. Two years ago i watched my first games of football starting with the NFC/AFC Championship and the following Superbowl in free tv and I got into it. In the offseason i informed myself about this sport, so I buyed the NFL gamepass for the next season, which imo is the best way for us europeans to watch the games. In Germany only 2 PayTV Channels are showing only few games a week. Due to contracts with the NFL they must show the matches live and must not rebroadcast them, resulting to the fact that the games are broadcasted in the middle of the night. With the gamepass I can make sure not to miss any games I am interested in and I can watch them on demand whenever I want.
yeah ive been watching some college football recently
+BatFanPlays SkySports
Flag!
Illegal formation. Offense. Fewer than 7 player on the line of scrimmage. 5 yard penalty, repeat 1st down.
j4k154 the receivers are usually on the lime
Yes. The five offensive lineman are also called the interior line. The side with the tightend is called the strong side.
In a 4/3 defense the middle backer is called the Mike. The backer across from the tightend is call the Sam. And the backer without a opposite tightend is called the Will.
The Strong Safety is opposite the Tightend. The Weak or Free Safety opposite the strong side.
The defense can line up anyway the want except offside or crossing the line of scrimmage before the ball is snap.
Filippo Fittipaldi my school Calls them stud and strong safety rover
I'm 14, Very fast, Huge hands, Average strength, Good vision, Quick reactions and Great endurance. Also I'm 135 pounds. Where should I play?
Bench
or bench but if you had to play get some sugar in you and have fun as a wide receiver
Wide receiver
goalkeeper because u have big hands so easy to catch with..you have good vision and fast reflexes so can see the ball coming and you have good endurence so you can get up fast and keep going
+Sean Smeaton they are talking about american football
Thank you! I'm starting to play this year as a sophomore and this helped a lot!
Thank you, for making theses videos, I play football but have a friend that wants to play, and didn't understand how to play.
Compulsory learning for Aussies thanks to Jarryd Haynes.
I'm 12 years old, I'm going to play High School Bantam next year. I'm 5'0, 88 pounds, and I'm pretty fast. I usually play Wide Receiver, but I can play Quarterback. On defence I play Cornerback or Outside Linebacker, which position should I really play?
CaseyAlbert 11 if you want to play wr and your 5'0 and 88 pounds play in a peek wee league
CaseyAlbert 11 dont let these losers who dont have lives lie to you to make you feel bad. kylen towner plays for west kentucky university and he's 5'8 175. dont let ANYONE tell u you cant do something. chase that dream you have. fuck those who bring u down. play football if you want, be a wide reciever or running back or something that wont get you killed. you got this man. fuck anyone who brings you down
Thanks man, I'm supposed to go through a massive growth spurt here soon, so I'm feeling confident

Came here to learn
lool yall females extra😂
maci karoline you’re Kinda cute, what’s your snap
Thank You, I've never played football and I'm going to play my freshman year. I'm in 8th right now.
Cody Willimon Jr. hey, same here. How did it go?
You're in 11th grande now
TheD4rkReaper Playing football over the course of my highschool years so far has been awesome! I absolutely fell in love with it the moment I was able to play. It taught me self confidence, patience, teamwork, and I learned more about myself. Sure, it’s scary as hell, but it’s definitely worth the experience and growth for you and your teammates. You will create a bond on and off the field because of this sport. I don’t mean to over exaggerate what it is, but I love it. It’s my favorite thing. It has helped me in so many ways. I start in football now, I’m a middle linebacker on defense and running-back on offense. I didn’t know exactly what I was doing when I started but if you have a great mindset and a great coach, you too will learn to be a great player and teammate. I wish the best of luck to you!
mistadude Yeah I am lmao, it’s been quite a trip, years went by fast.
@@Willimonjaro thats great! ty
I only came to this video because i want to learn about football to play madden, cause man... I dont know why, but i fell in love when i see basketball and american football for the first time.... Your nation is a great inventor of intense sports mate...
STFU Bitch
Thank you for the video, it was helpful and also oddly calming
That graphic of the O's is wrong, you have to have at least 7 offensive players on the line of scrimmage. That means 2 out of the 2 wide receivers and tight end have to be lined up on the line of scrimmage. Then the only offensive players on the line of scrimmage that're eligible receivers are the Ends. You can have more then 1 eligible receiver on each side of the field but other then the Ends everyone has to line up a few feet and those are called slot receivers.
Joe McKim it depends on what layout the coach uses
His diagram is confusing to a beginner, but if you had actual bodies there, the red circles on the ends MIGHT have their heads breaking the plane of the snapper's waist, so they might have the required 7 on the line. But if that's the case, then the red circle on the far right, if all the circles represent bodies the same way, would be in an illegal position, not being clearly on the line or in the backfield, because the closest OL, the end on that side, was cheated back far enough to overlap that flanker "vertically". It's sure not the way to teach newcomers!
You mixed up strong safety and free safety here too. Just sayin'
This is so relaxing with the crickets in the background.
Thank you! I signed up for football and this helped me understand the positions better. 😉👌
I’m watching this so I can learn how to play Madden 20. lol. My first ever Madden.
Same
I had madden 19 but my stoopid little cousin drew on the back of it and almost broke my ps4 with it
2019 gang?
Fuck yea
Helllll yeah
Da Bois
THANK YOU!!! so much for doing this...I had a hard time getting someone to explain it. You are goood♥️♥️♥️
This is a great video. I’m going to save it and refer to it. I’m trying to understand different formations but I need to remember the names and the basic positions. Thanks!
I'm 13, 5'7 135 pounds and I'm the fastest in Saskatchewan, should I be a halfback or a fullback??
At that age you're probably going to be a running back if that's your size. But if you're not done growing you could grow into a bigger position later on.
Who says your the fastest in Saskatchewan
considering that there is about 10 people in all of Saskatchewan, it's not that amazing
Play hockey or CFL. Dont play real football
What if the quarterback doesn’t want to hand to the running backs? What do the running backs do then?
Either block or go out for a pass
Quarterback calls the play in the huddle and every one will know what to do so running backs know if there going for a hand off or doing something else just judging from the play called in huddle
I'm from Ireland and it's nice to see someone taking time to explain American football in a understandable way for beginners because at first look it seems much more complicated than soccer/football.
Thanks! Easy to understand and the crickets are very calming! 😃
9:37, voice crack
spelled scrimmage wrong
I sure did. Over 60,000 views and you're the first one to notice that.
TheOnDeckCircle Many noticed, few bothered to point out such an indifference thing. Also, "receiver".
Lol Receiver too and not Reciever
Who cares of he spelled it wrong. Great video
Finally ! someone makes great use of technology to explain this so well. Good job, sir ! ... next time my co-workers 'throw' the result of last night's game at me, I can at least say something about it :)
Thank you for the video. I am a kid who really wants to learn about football and this vid helped me a lot!
anyone play safety, I'm trying to figure out how to play it without looking stupid.
blue miyo yeah I do
Don't get juked and don't just look lazy and not tackle
Wtf i thought this was for soccer 🤦🏽♂️😂
That’s funny
Void Wrestling I wrestle too bitch, 145 weight class what's up !😂
Simple and great explanation. Thanks!
Thanks for posting these videos! They're super helpful :)
oh wait... thats why i dont understand shit... its the handfootball
You could just say gridiron football or american football. Don't be making up terms ok.
This is not football... This is handoval... You are confusing! Change the title of the video please!
It's known in most places as American Football, or just Football.
What the hell is handoval
Sappy07 In my country we call it FOOTBALL
Bob Renalds Your country is not logical. This is a game played with you hand the the ball is not a 'ball'
Your country must be from a different dimension, cause on earth this is the norm. :)
TheOnDeckCircle Please specify as most places in 'the United states of America'
Cause everywhere else in the world, its just American football... football is wayyy different.
Very helpful, thanks! I love the crickets. It's like someone is telling a story at night x3
Thanks I'm looking forward to doing football next year, this helped
It looks like you made this a while ago but thank you for doing it. We have season passes to my alma mater and now I can start learning stuff and stop bugging everybody around me. But I can tell them all the rules about roller derby
Very helpful! Thank you so much for making and sharing these videos. One caveat though: it's "receiver" as opposed to "reciever".
I'm brazilian and this video helped me a lot, I like to watch games, but I didn't understand the positions, tomorrow I will figure out the in the another way.... Great video.
Thank you for this! I tend to get confused on the positions, as im getting more into football!!
Your video was extremely helpful. Thank you this helped me a lot
I'm just impressed you did all of this in what looks like MS Paint.
This video helped me bigtime. Thanks brother 💯
