For the non Americans out there, like others have said, most of these hits are illegal. It's rare you get a hit like this nowadays, although it does still happen occasionally. The physicality is still a major appeal of the sport, but the complexity and creativity of offensive and defensive plays is the biggest appeal imo.
Well above the chest hits and defenseless players are the ones that aren't legal. Other than that if you land a clean chest and below hit then your good 👍
@@notmeee496 He was fighting death too, He stayed alive for 24 hours after being shot in popliteal artery. That story was so sad, It's haunting to know that he would've survived if the bullet went 1 inch in any direction also the fact that the people that broke into his house were people that his sister invited.
You guys should react to a best NFL plays in history as well, so you can see the skill aspects of the game, and not just the hits. The skill and athleticism of the best players is awe inspiring. You've got guys jumping over other players, stopping from full speed sprinting in an instant and then instantly accelerating back to full speed, catching the ball with 1 hand, and all kinds of other crazy stuff.
@@ItzMalick your video on prime was great and you had me dying haha. You're right too orange Gatorade is a way underrated flavor. This dude is funny for anyone who sees this 👍.
The greatest athletes in the world. Their skill sets are unbelievably diverse. Offensive and defensive linemen are absolute freaks of nature, and to do everything they do athletically while executing all the complexities of the sport is flat out incredible
For reference, in American football, you can't hit someone in the head ever (or lead with the head in a hit), you can't hit someone if they are "defenseless" (not focused on you but on the ball, exception is blocking, but can't block in the back) and you can't grab any part of their uniform (facemask, jersey, collar, also their neck) to tackle. Besides that, body shots and suplexs are fair game. Edit: NVM suplexing someone apparently is illegal and has been for a while. It was pretty rare anyways so my bad.
3:55 as an NFL fan your only aloud to hit the receiver after they touch the ball which is why all of these hits (except for blocks) are after the catch.
You can touch the reciever when he's going up to get the ball, just not smack the shit out of him. But in that particular clip, the tackler was a safety crossing the field and wasn't covering that reciever. The guy covering him was in the background with his thumb up his ass
At 2:24 when tobi said "21 again" it made me tear up a little bit, 21 was Sean Taylor who played for Washington. He was shot and killed protecting his family from a home invasion. It's a really sad story and he was super young, it's crazy that in all of the hits shown that he was called out
There was also a very good linebacker that played mostly for the (Sandiego now La) Chargers, his name was Junior Seau he committed suicide and it was very sad, I am pretty sure that they made it so that you couldn’t tackle with your head but you had to lead with your shoulder
Just a couple of things. A lot of the hits especially from the older videos are illegal now. As you thought, a lot of players end up with permanent brain damage and a condition called CTE. I’m general you can’t lead with your head or hit someone else in the head. Most of the newer clips were shoulder to chest, but the dudes are just so big and fast in looks like a semi ran through them. You can’t hit a player before the ball arrives or if they’re in a defenseless position (this essentially means you can’t just blindside deck one of the wide receivers)
there was a clip on instagram of highlights for a week from a 1970s nfl season and every single highlight was a flag today 😂😂. No wonder those guys got cte
Back in the 70s and especially 80s and early 90s...going across the middle was dangerous for receivers period, you hoped your qb would'nt toss you into one of these and most good ones did their best not too but sooner or it was bound to happen, Bebe for the Bills was a tough receiver and all pro that took his far share of crossing patterns over the middle big shots.
Not even jus the 70s 80s and 90s the whole 2000s had ray lewis, brain cushing and Brian Urlacher sitting waiting for a slant route or anything to come cross the middle to kill u

Watching a video like this makes American football seem like it's just simply barbaric and entertaining. In reality it's one of the most strategic games in the world. Obviously physicality comes into play, (most of these guys are like 6'5" 250 LBS), but the game is so much more than that.

@@realGMAN46112 you are right, but the big hits are just as big they just dont happen as often cos theyre arent retarded, when we tackle our only objective is either pin you or make you drop the ball, in the nfl youre just trying to drop the player

well technically the hits arent as big, protection gives players an incentive to go in with no hesitation. AFL def is tough tho. NFL players are also bigger and stronger than any other sport
imagine if the sidemen actually learned the sport, they would fall in love with it. At amateur levels it's quite fun, it's actually far more ball related than it may look when the reel you're watching is a biggest hits highlights reel. Watch the smartest plays in NFL history or something more focused on the actual context of the sport. There are European Football reels of big tackles, it doesn't show anyone who doesn't know the sport any context. Cool video nonetheless.
I think it would be cool for them to learn about it as well, like how Vikk said the hits aren’t one-sided, when mostly they are. If you’re the guy who “hits” the other guy, the other guy is almost definitely gonna feel it more 😭 i too would love if they reacted to the smartest plays

We’ve seen it. NFL players hit just a bit harder than a rugby player, but they average a game time of 1.3 minutes played over 3 hours.. Rugby players hit just as hard at the beginning, but rugby has no pads and is constant carnage for 80 mins. There’s no stoppage after a tackle. You just get back up and hit them back harder. So the average lowers when they’re tired and tackling softer at the end of the match. For 1.3 mins of game time, both sports hit equally. So considering a rugby player hits just as hard but plays 74 minutes average out of 80.. no contest. Rugbys just levels above.

I’m sure a lot of long time players of this sport like myself can agree that you get pretty comfortable with the level of contact on the field, if you keep your head on a swivel and go full speed into every hit, you usually won’t feel much of your pain until after the game.

@@quinndenver4075 Yeah I know it's because they have full padding and helmets and less rules regarding contact. By removing all 'armour' so to speak it becomes a lot more dangerous regardless of the force. It's still full contact sports but with no protection making it a lot more brutal when some hard hits connect.
@@gscmail1245 are you kidding me? They have literally had to change the rules of the game because so many players were getting CTE and brain damage form the amount of concussions they were suffering. What about rugby or afl is dangerous compared to that?
@@quinndenver4075 Not my problem they are dumb enough to use their head to lead contact instead of using their shoulders. No matter what sport you look at, you must be utterly stupid to choose to play either. It is an unavoidable given that you will live with life long injuries and a shorter life span partaking in playing any of these sports. They are just punishing themselves for others' entertainment. I don't care what is more dangerous, all of these are very dangerous and people end up with unjustified severe injuries ruining their lives. I for instance have a shoulder that's ruined and irreparable as well as three other joint problems in my knees and ankles because I was forced in school and my parents to play Rugby for 13 years. Sitting with it ruining my everyday life experiences, Im not even allowed to jog or my shoulder would carve away at its cartlidge. My brother is in a wheelchair now because of rugby. I do not like or condone any of these idiotic sports.

As the SidemenReacts resident American (who actually has a job in American football) I open this comment section to anyone with questions, I will answer Viks here first though. Simply put, little to none of this is legal nowadays but back then it was. We saw a lot of guys struggle to live their lives after they retired because hits and such like these were such common occurrences that pretty much a whole new rule set was put in place. Its still getting ironed out and hits like this still happen but for the most part the game is a lot safer now. Edit: The feedback and questions I'm getting this are awesome. I really love when people take interest in what I do because behind all the culture wars with sport, both American and normal football are great sports. Keep any questions or comments coming guys!!
As a non-American how has this seemingly brutal sport become so popular? Is it like a boxing appeal? Or is getting hit just a rare thing that happens and the game is usually completely different?

Also the “protective gear” is actually what makes it the most unsafe because it gives false confidence that you will be protected on big hits like that. You could always do flag or no pad football you think twice before you hit that hard
No pad American football would be infinitely less Safe then no pad football. Your right to an extent that it gives yoh a false sense of security but the pads, esspially in modern times, way outway that and give you so much more protection.
@@AOD00000 You could argue that playing without pads would lead to there being new techniques for tackling people without injuring yourself, i.e. like Rugby.
Most people get mad after a lot of these hits because it’s targeting, where you hit the other player in the helmet with your helmet, which can cause a concussion very easily. It’s illegal and a player typically gets ejected from the game instantly.

2:06 Precisely Vik, growing up us Americans always clowned soccer as the “pussy football” for flopping at the most minuscule contact because this kind of contact is what we’re used to. In American football, men get fully drilled and still get up to join the huddle for the next play. But I will say, I have since grown an appreciation for soccer and it’s become one of my favorite sports to play
Agreed. I'm a massive American football fan and that'll likely always be my favorite sport but really since finding these guys like a decade ago I've absolutely fallen in love with soccer. It kinda sucks that theres this whole argument between the two sides like "oh this is the real football" and "well you guys flop like a bunch of babies" and all that because both games are truly amazing.
@@timlett99 exactly, the whole argument over which is the “better football” is very childish. They are both great sports that can be appreciated by all. Just cause they share a common name doesn’t mean they need to be compared under a microscope. American football will probably always be my favorite sport to watch, while soccer is currently my favorite to play
We call it football because the ball is a foot long (imperial system). Also You can watch best catches or interceptions for a different aspect of the game. Love y'alls reactions though.
No, that's not the reason. The reason why it's called football is because it's one of the many variations that came from mob football. Rugby football, gridiron football (American football), association football (soccer), etc. all came from mob football.
For the non Americans out there, like others have said, most of these hits are illegal. It's rare you get a hit like this nowadays, although it does still happen occasionally. The physicality is still a major appeal of the sport, but the complexity and creativity of offensive and defensive plays is the biggest appeal imo.
Well above the chest hits and defenseless players are the ones that aren't legal. Other than that if you land a clean chest and below hit then your good 👍

Defense can grab jersey to tackle just not by the shoulder or collar. Unless it’s changed since I last played/watched football
Suplexes result in a flag now since it’s technically an action after the ball carrier stopped moving

My favorite player/athlete of all time. He's the reason I started watching football and why I'm a Washington fan
Tobi, 21 is Sean Taylor. He was renown for dishing out some of the biggest hits in Football. You all should react to his hit highlights!
And ray Lewis and the legion boom hits and the other hardest hitting players
All you need to look up is the the pro bowl hit lmao
RIP
I’d love to see these guys react to AFL/Aussie rules football, same big hits except no protection. I loved KSI reacting to it
Sports Science, definitely not the same, players are just as or even more damaged than Aussie rules.
@@realGMAN46112 you are right, but the big hits are just as big they just dont happen as often cos theyre arent retarded, when we tackle our only objective is either pin you or make you drop the ball, in the nfl youre just trying to drop the player

@@ItzMalick shush
well technically the hits arent as big, protection gives players an incentive to go in with no hesitation. AFL def is tough tho. NFL players are also bigger and stronger than any other sport
We need a sidemen football match like this, be very funny😅
imagine if the sidemen actually learned the sport, they would fall in love with it. At amateur levels it's quite fun, it's actually far more ball related than it may look when the reel you're watching is a biggest hits highlights reel. Watch the smartest plays in NFL history or something more focused on the actual context of the sport. There are European Football reels of big tackles, it doesn't show anyone who doesn't know the sport any context. Cool video nonetheless.
Nah they wouldn't cos it's shit
I think it would be cool for them to learn about it as well, like how Vikk said the hits aren’t one-sided, when mostly they are. If you’re the guy who “hits” the other guy, the other guy is almost definitely gonna feel it more 😭 i too would love if they reacted to the smartest plays
@@whoisakame facts man🤜
Yeah it's more technical than people think. The hitting and physical aspect of the game is a bonus.
@Velexius cry more
I like how it's a 'NFL' big hits when there's like half college hits included lol

It’s pretty cool watching them react to teams that I am a fan of in football. Sports reactions is probably my favorite of their reactions
fr though except when they watch baseball highlights but thats the sports fault
It’s interesting you say that because in some cases, people from far and wide come to America to play in the NFL. As far as I know, the Philadelphia eagles got a punter from Australia, and their running back from 2018 was from England!

@@TylerPCoyne yeah, alot of international players come to play. They have a program for that, so NFL teams don't have a hit on their roster space. But it is a neat opportunity to see players around the world join.

I feel like vikk doesn’t understand how much strategy goes into the sport and that it’s just a bunch a dudes trying to hit each other the hardest lol
You guys need to watch the NHL version of this. Love to throw massive hits in hockey
Yes!
NHL hits are brutal but they are very satisfying to watch
2:25 "21 again"
You're right Tobi. You're watching the greatest safety to ever play the sport. His name is Sean Taylor 🙏🙏🙏

I love watching the Sidemen watch American Football
Love the content, keep up the great work!!
Video idea: Sidemen React to biggest NHL or ice hockey hits
Hockey is so similar to soccer. They need to react to everything that hockey has to offer. Hits, fights, dangles(skill moves/jukes). The game of hockey players so similar to soccer, its basically soccer , and football on ice.
4:55 In the States we say "Basketball is a contact sport. Football is a collision sport."
now you understand why we, as americans, love hockey and american football so much. it's so violent and the violence is celebrated lmao it's so entertaining.

I think this would be so much better if the Sidemen watched an NFL Sports Science video about just how hard these NFL players hit people
YO ☠️ ua-cam.com/video/GbKo94d108s/v-deo.html
We’ve seen it. NFL players hit just a bit harder than a rugby player, but they average a game time of 1.3 minutes played over 3 hours..
Rugby players hit just as hard at the beginning, but rugby has no pads and is constant carnage for 80 mins. There’s no stoppage after a tackle. You just get back up and hit them back harder. So the average lowers when they’re tired and tackling softer at the end of the match. For 1.3 mins of game time, both sports hit equally.
So considering a rugby player hits just as hard but plays 74 minutes average out of 80.. no contest. Rugbys just levels above.

More of this please. loved the reactions. You guys were lit in this Laughter and shock.
8:01 I’m glad Tobi changed his mind that quick, because guaranteed every single player in this video is straight up dusting him
100%
I was expecting way more Ray Lewis hits, some of his were just iconic.

as an Australian would love to see sidemen reacts to NRL or AFL biggest hits
Amen, these sooks have pads, get a few big hits from NRL, off its tits
still waiting on an AFL reaction :/
As an American, others may not understand but this is a regular Monday, Thursday, and Sunday night for us.
Imagine Behz when he realizes american college is centered around college football and partying. More than half of these clips were from college anyways he’d love it.

You should react to one in a million NFL plays! There is some incredible footage out there to react to. Great job on the vid!
They prolly wont understand some tho
“Hardest hits in nfl history”, casually shows college football
I’m sure a lot of long time players of this sport like myself can agree that you get pretty comfortable with the level of contact on the field, if you keep your head on a swivel and go full speed into every hit, you usually won’t feel much of your pain until after the game.
Please do biggest hits in the NHL history next. I would say it's even more crazy than this

4:15 they have on field mic’s and mics on certain linemen so they can pick up the QB saying stuff before the play happens
Learning football through a hardest hits compilation is something i would never expect
would love to see them react to some NHL hits next
Agree
As an american fan, would definitely like to see them react to more NFL stuff
I want to see them react to heaviest NHL hits.
If you truly want to find the hardest hits you need to find a clip from the 70’s
Now it's time for these boys to react to AFL's biggest hits. No body protection, no fear, no limit!
Ye I agree, some Aussie rules or Rugby hits would make the NFL hits look like nothing. Even dumber sports with no protection.
@@gscmail1245 it’s scientifically proven than NFL hits are by far the most forceful…
@@quinndenver4075 Yeah I know it's because they have full padding and helmets and less rules regarding contact. By removing all 'armour' so to speak it becomes a lot more dangerous regardless of the force. It's still full contact sports but with no protection making it a lot more brutal when some hard hits connect.
@@gscmail1245 are you kidding me? They have literally had to change the rules of the game because so many players were getting CTE and brain damage form the amount of concussions they were suffering. What about rugby or afl is dangerous compared to that?
@@quinndenver4075 Not my problem they are dumb enough to use their head to lead contact instead of using their shoulders. No matter what sport you look at, you must be utterly stupid to choose to play either. It is an unavoidable given that you will live with life long injuries and a shorter life span partaking in playing any of these sports. They are just punishing themselves for others' entertainment. I don't care what is more dangerous, all of these are very dangerous and people end up with unjustified severe injuries ruining their lives. I for instance have a shoulder that's ruined and irreparable as well as three other joint problems in my knees and ankles because I was forced in school and my parents to play Rugby for 13 years. Sitting with it ruining my everyday life experiences, Im not even allowed to jog or my shoulder would carve away at its cartlidge. My brother is in a wheelchair now because of rugby. I do not like or condone any of these idiotic sports.
I'm mad they cut out the best part of that Ed Reed hit!!!! Ray Lewis comes off the sideline screaming. PURE GOLD!
Waiting on the hardest NHL hits now

@@CJStroud1 you play this sport in school like a university some of these clips are from high school to
As the SidemenReacts resident American (who actually has a job in American football) I open this comment section to anyone with questions, I will answer Viks here first though. Simply put, little to none of this is legal nowadays but back then it was. We saw a lot of guys struggle to live their lives after they retired because hits and such like these were such common occurrences that pretty much a whole new rule set was put in place. Its still getting ironed out and hits like this still happen but for the most part the game is a lot safer now.
Edit: The feedback and questions I'm getting this are awesome. I really love when people take interest in what I do because behind all the culture wars with sport, both American and normal football are great sports. Keep any questions or comments coming guys!!
Let's be Honest We knew it
ua-cam.com/video/n72kkazUgAs/v-deo.html
yea almost all of the hits in the video are penalties and ejections you can see the yellow flags lol
As a non-American how has this seemingly brutal sport become so popular? Is it like a boxing appeal? Or is getting hit just a rare thing that happens and the game is usually completely different?
whats ur job in football
@@Amunny a hit like in this video rarely ever happens, especially now
LOOLLL Tobi's reaction at 6:23
As a player myself getting hit like this is the biggest adrenaline rush ever..... and it's great 🤣🤣

Also the “protective gear” is actually what makes it the most unsafe because it gives false confidence that you will be protected on big hits like that. You could always do flag or no pad football you think twice before you hit that hard
@*Quacks away your freedom* yeah pretty much
No pad American football would be infinitely less Safe then no pad football. Your right to an extent that it gives yoh a false sense of security but the pads, esspially in modern times, way outway that and give you so much more protection.
@@mitchellima4736 agreed. If Polamalu or Taylor back int he day hit a human being without gear, they would be oblitirated to a million pieces.
@@AOD00000 You could argue that playing without pads would lead to there being new techniques for tackling people without injuring yourself, i.e. like Rugby.
@@__vx3 maybe, but the americans prolly want to do as much damage to other people as possible. Example is Ndamukong Suh or Vontaze Burfict
I love how they don’t realize half of these are college games😂
0:30 I like how they don’t know that the kicker jus layed the heck outta that guy💀
There’s just something about watching non Americans reacting to American football that is just so entertaining
you guys should do NHL/Ice hockey after this. super entertaining, physical game on ice with just as many big hits
This is the pure definition of head damage.
Sean Taylor and LOB were some of my favorites to watch
Most people get mad after a lot of these hits because it’s targeting, where you hit the other player in the helmet with your helmet, which can cause a concussion very easily. It’s illegal and a player typically gets ejected from the game instantly.
They need to do biggest NHL hits. Im a massive hockey fan here from Canada. Welll worth a watch
Hockey is way more physical and harmful on an hockey players body

Sideman nfl charity match is would be epic
2:06 Precisely Vik, growing up us Americans always clowned soccer as the “pussy football” for flopping at the most minuscule contact because this kind of contact is what we’re used to. In American football, men get fully drilled and still get up to join the huddle for the next play. But I will say, I have since grown an appreciation for soccer and it’s become one of my favorite sports to play
Agreed. I'm a massive American football fan and that'll likely always be my favorite sport but really since finding these guys like a decade ago I've absolutely fallen in love with soccer. It kinda sucks that theres this whole argument between the two sides like "oh this is the real football" and "well you guys flop like a bunch of babies" and all that because both games are truly amazing.
Rugby is bigger than American football boss they don't wear all the gear
@@Alexxxx17 yeah no protection like American footballers
@@karabonyathi5653 huh
@@timlett99 exactly, the whole argument over which is the “better football” is very childish. They are both great sports that can be appreciated by all. Just cause they share a common name doesn’t mean they need to be compared under a microscope. American football will probably always be my favorite sport to watch, while soccer is currently my favorite to play
they should watch the craziest catches in nfl comp next. Love the content
We call it football because the ball is a foot long (imperial system). Also You can watch best catches or interceptions for a different aspect of the game. Love y'alls reactions though.
And fhese type of hits don’t happen evry game
@@yahyabashir1980 kya
No, that's not the reason. The reason why it's called football is because it's one of the many variations that came from mob football. Rugby football, gridiron football (American football), association football (soccer), etc. all came from mob football.
@@yahyabashir1980 yea u rarely see these hits because the player would be ejected most likely
