Good reaction clip. I grew up playing American football all my life, up through college. I especially enjoy these reaction clips, where rugby players react to the NFL, because I lived in Europe for a year, and I’d get ripped by rugby players because american football was perceived as soft because of the pads. I remember watching the 2007 Rugby World Cup with my friends in Europe, and though it was certainly entertaining to watch, and I definitely gained a newfound respect for Rugby, I maintained that American football is more violent than Rugby. It’s difficult to explain to someone who hasn’t watched/played football, but the padding and the stoppages, don’t serve necessarily as protection for the players. But instead, they ensure the players have the ability to attack one another at top speeds, without any reservations whatsoever.

Even though the games look similar, they aren't the same game. The NFL and Collegiate football is far more violent than Rugby. No doubt Rugby players are tough as nails and great athletes. But their game is far more fluid and more a test of strength and endurance than American football. The NFL is about extreme and sudden violence and even the players who finish the game uninjured need several days of therapy and physio to recover from a game.

At first they wanted to say that American football players were wimpy for wearing all of that padding until I enlightened them to the fact that a lot of that padding is made to protect the hittee as much as the hitter. Shoulder pads are made to give somewhat to lessen the impact from tackles while protecting the gent doing the tackling. I showed them some clips like this then we watched some games at a pub and it was amazing how much their attitudes changed. I also came to love rugby very much as a result of hanging around with them. Great reaction.

I was watching a college football game and the boy caught the ball in the in zone then he had broke his ankle while catch the ball. Yah American football is crazy.

The average Rugby player is 199 pounds according to what I found and the average English Footballer being about 170 pounds.

Rugby is more side to side with a small space to tackle, while in the NFL is more up & downhill tackles with huge space with 5 yards+ that's make more of collisions.

I was a big kid compared to most other kids, my friends dad who was the middle school football coach talked me into to playing on his team. At my first football practice I was told to get into a mindset to hurt the other players to take them off the field, hit them as hard as I could and to target players not expecting it for better results. That was the last time I played football and I am glad I decided it was. Reports show even High Schoolers suffer from brain damage, id expect the same is true with middle schoolers its just not been tested as far as I am aware. If I had kept playing Id likely have played in High School also with the mindset of hurting other players running into them at full force which would not been good for me in the long run.

Its not a break in foot ball. Consider the plays as reps like a workout. Each play you setup in a neutral and fair way for both teams and you clash at the same time in an effort to move the ball forward. And instead of an endurance type of strength you see 10 seconds of literal explosive strength in the form of speed, power and torque based on the position. In the usa millions of people play football competitively growing up. The sample size of tallent moving into the NFL is cut from millions dow to 50ish players on a team. Meaning thag the only people who make it are absolut genetic freaks, hyper motivated athletes and hyper competitive personalities. The explosiveness play by play is brutal all the time. Mics picking up sound play by play only pick up involintary groans of air being forced out of the body by contact. The average career length is around 3 years in the NFL due to the level of performance your body needs to be able to maintain coupled with the high chance on injury you can and will be replaced. Only freaks of nature make it long term in the NFL. It and hocky are the only glorious sports left in the mainstream world of sports.

The most impressive aspect of what you've said is the average career length being three years. That's is truly unbelievable. I've never played American football before and can only use rugby as a reference, and a typical top player in the Premiership will last around 10 years. I think that the cardio required to play in rugby is higher, but the explosiveness in the NFL is higher. Physical power I think is close, due to rugby forwards being extremely powerful dudes. Second rows, flankers and props are required to put in 60 mins of extreme physicality. That said, I do think that American football players are at higher risk of injury. This video was a huge eye opener

@@kabirconsiders To be fair, the 3 year average career is more due to washing out by performance than it is injury, though there can always be a connection. Every position can be critical at times, and you NEED to have a game roster with effective backups, so the guy that isn't getting it done and isn't improving is likely not signing another contract. You're literally looking at the best of the best... and most of the 3 year guys simply aren't the best.

I was an outside linebacker.

I played football from age 8 to 18. (Too small to play college level ball) In that time, I got knocked out three times and had to have knee surgery at 16. I will say that I have actually thought about NOT injuring an opposing player. My senior year (grade 12) we were in our game of the year. An absolute must win. We were up 7 to 6 late in the 4th quarter. They were going for a 2 point conversion. I played cornerback and the DC had called a CB blitz. I was only 5'6" and weighed 150lbs at the time. I knew my football days ended after the season. The opposing QB already had an offer to play for a major D1 university. I came absolutely free off the end. I had a clear shot at his knees. I purposefully didn't take that shot. Back then knee injuries were possible career enders. I couldn't bring myself to do that to him. I hit him at hip level and he shook me off. He ended up scoring the conversion and they won 8 to 7. he did indeed end going on to play for a major SEC power. (at receiver) I do not regret my decision.

From the movie "That's My Boy": "Ya hit 'em hard, ya hit 'em low and ya hit 'em fast. And if they get up, you hit 'em again."

Yeah there's even a thing in the NFL where players "put a hit" on specific players meaning "mess him up"/"take him out"...but I think kind of rib breaking gameplay is being phased out with new safety restrictions and penalties so they play safer.

Man, I LOVED playing football with my friends until I was FORTY years old. Woke up on football Sundays hyped and thinking “who am I gonna destroy today?” Injury NEVER even crossed my mind. Until I woke up one day & I thought “what if I get hurt today?” Permanently put away my cleats that instant. If there’s fear, ya don’t belong on the field. But, man, I had FUN.

So I’ll tell you, rugby is an aggressive and physical sport. I played football for 8 years, and from my first game when I was 12 I was taught to play with “reckless abandon”. Basically I don’t care about my own well being out here so how do you think I feel about knocking you out. Played strong safety, job description. Separate man from ball

American football is a contact sport. Rugby is listed differently. We live for this stuff. They are our heroes today, since gladiators, go home now, as rockstar's. Rugby has more lateral motion. And tackles are grappling because of proximity of players. Open field full burst running isn't managed or defended the same. Different concepts completely, the two sports.

At 5:38 look up Darrell Reid hit on Chris Henry. I remember watching it live on TV, in all of my years of watching football that was one of the hardest hits I've ever seen. It sounded loud as hell on television (like a car crash), I could imagine how it sounded in the stadium. A guy that big and running that fast just crashing into Henry like the Juggernaut, I was shocked how he was able to hold on to the ball and pop back up.

Think about this. The NFL players get breaks BUT they are carrying an extra 6 kgs of weight with them in pads. The players are gigantic even by US standards. The average lineman is 6-foot-5, 312 pounds or 195.58 cm and 142 kgs plus equipment. They lift weights at what would be considered a pro weightlifter levels. I worked at a hotel the NFL teams used when they came to Green Bay to play. Only 4 linemen and a trainer could ride on an elevator/lift at a time. Any more and it was past the weight limit.

Holy cow, the padding and protective gear weighs 6kg's?? I would have guessed 3kg's tops. Linemen sound pretty similar to second rows/props in rugby. From what I've seen, NFL players are probably more explosive in short bursts, where as rugby players are required to be able to play a sustained 40+ mins at near sprint pace.. The two sports are so tough to compare.. I will say, I have never seen the level of physicality seen in this video on a rugby field. The offending player would probably be banned for life!

American football is a game strategy, coordination, and execution like a game of chess. That’s why it’s a play by play game and another reason why it’s so popular in America aside from the hard hitting brutality. The stops between plays is the allotted time to plan the next attack, which in turn saves energy for the next annihilation. This takes a kind of generalship within coaching to create or call a play within a game. Watching football is fun to watch, but one must understand the game to really appreciate the game for what it is. American football is truly a battle of wits above all other aspects of the game.

When I was younger, we played like this, but with no helmet or pads. Sometimes you got busted up and would be out of the game, other times you'd be able to get up and play again. Sometimes you went to the hospital for something that got broken or knocked out of place. Also, when the NFL just started, they only wore leather helmets.

anyone who thinks the pads make the hits hurt less has never been hit by a 250 lbs man who runs a 4.5 forty yard dash and can hit you at full speed because hes wearing pads..
