He’s trying to beat the returner to the end zone, and the closest distance between himself and the end zone is a straight line. He’s doing his job, staying at home, and defending the other side of the field. That’s why the returner went to the right side, because that guy keeps the left side defended so well. Ha ha
My high school team did this type of kick return. Even when I was on scout team kickoff and knew it was coming it was still almost impossible to tell who was going where with the ball.
I remember when all your videos were just coaches getting thrown out and shit you were so good at delivering. I guess that’s why your channel has grown so much
So let the other team score just so you can run this play on the ensuing kick (because thats the only time you get kick offs other than start or 2nd half of game)? Not a smart strategy, coach.
Man those hand offs were so smooth it was hard to follow in slo- mo without the commentary. Perfect execution. I was following #2 every time on my own...the defender up top just didnt wanna be only one behind the 50, but had no clue who had the ball...
Texas guy here. Denton Ryan has always been a power house in the 5A and then 6A division up there in Denton, Texas right outside of Dallas and near the border of Oklahoma.
I have a strong feeling they're also track athletes as well who specialize in relay, because nobody gets that good at full-speed handoffs without a significant amount of baton-pass practice.
I played football for this high school and know the coach, but basically if you are on varsity football, you where then also on track😂 even if you didn’t go to meets you still had to practice. It builds so much speed
@@fletcherchasteen6035 nah. Doesn't matter how good of a running back you are - the vast majority of your handoffs are NOT at full speed. Gauging yourself at 80% or even 90% speed is significantly easier than at 100% unless you have lots and lots of practice going 100% - which most football players do not, specifically to make sure they don't injure themselves during practice.
We ran this in HS every kick return. Hadn’t heard it called “Starburst” until recently. To us it was just kick return. The player who ultimately returns the ball is pre-determined by the play call. If he’s not the one who actually receives the kick, the guy who receives it hands it to the upback who then hands it to the returner.
edit: I talked to some football officials, and showed them this play. They say it’s legal. Because 14 is facing his opponent’s goal line. So that handoff is considered to back, (not forwards) Maybe Texas High School rules are different. But , 15 hands the ball forward to 14. Behind the scrimmage line, it’s Legal to hand the ball forward on a scrimmage down. But, on a free kick down, there is no scrimmage line. Is it legal to hand the ball forward on a free kick down?

When I was in High school in the mid 70s in South Texas we called it the starburst. You called it before you went out to receive and everyone on our team knew which way it was going and set up the blocks and fakes. Very effective. No one on the other team knows which way it's going until it's too late, even if you stay in your lanes. With our uniforms being burnt orange it was hard for the other team to see the ball after a few yards away.
My cousin went to school there (Denton) Becky spratt was a cheerleader there, her uncle was Billy Roy's one man band (15 instruments) from there that played in both state fairs there for many years
1:24 - "Why didn't they just run this play every play?" Well, they can only run that play after the other teams has scored, so not much of a plan for victory.
Denton Ryan won the championship 59 to 14 this year. I guess they were a year away last year, though they had a chance to win on the last play when a pass was dislodged in the end zone.
NFL teams need to look at this kick return and think of implementing similar returns in the future. It's a brilliant effective and nice Change-Up. Nice change-of-pace and it works!
With that bird’s eye view I can see it clear as day. I’d have crushed the ball carrier. I’m not knocking your breakdowns, they’re awesome, but I can’t help but wonder what it looked like from the player’s POV. I ran cross country and played baseball...”put me in coach! Just tell me how this works before I get started.”
@@nryanc Cannot say I watch a lot of football. Played in high school many moons ago. Watch some college games. Almost no pro, but never have seen that play before or was not paying attention. Here looks like they ran it to perfection. The fake, the misdirection and bam lights out.
It is something that takes practice to make the exchanges go smoothly and to make the fakes look like handoffs. They did it very well. The best ways to defend it are to kick away from the 4 returners or to hit the spinner man. Or just tackle everybody who might have the ball, haha.
My sons 8th grade team used trick plays for extra point conversion regularly. The opponent teams just couldn’t understand what was happening. They literally slaughter every opponent in the league 65 to 7 or 10 with regularity.
Jomboy I would love to see u breaking down Paul Konerko's World Series Grand Slam against the Astros. Like the hits that got the bases loaded and that controversial moment when a ball hit Jermaine Dye's bat and they call it a hit by a pitch.
Gotta do a breakdown of the Windthorst Trojans converting a 2 pt conversion with 26 seconds left to win the 2A Div II Texas high school football State Championship
there was another crazy play in the same game where one team is planning they try to f****** and they try to kick it from The end zone and the other team collects it off the ground from like the 35 and runs it back in
#14 is the MVP of this play. You know how much balls you have to have to turn your back on a kickoff squad, in the Texas state championship game, with the ball in your hands standing dead still? Dude probably was shitting bricks🤣🤣
You gotta wonder why teams dont run more actual "plays" on special teams. You could practice some intricate things just like you would on your normal offense. Planned hand offs and laterals and or both or multiple of one or both all intentionally on the same kickoff return or punt return. Instead of eliminating the kick-off which is the path its on now change it into something better. Also definitely need new onside kick rules. There needs to be a little more of a chance u get the ball back
MVP is the camera guy stickin with the ball
Watched it like 5 times, how did he stick with the ball... good god
I was fooled twice with rewind at full speed. Cool play.
Must be a nfl recorder up in the Dallas Cowboys practice stadium
Wasn't hard to see where the ball was
YZERMAN #19 stfu
Good play, but the execution is what really impresses me. Such a smooth handoff while running at full speed. Very nice.

he's got contain
🤣 im picking up some sarcasm
The hole that #2 could have driven a car through was only because #40 and #42 on the kicking team saw the ball had been handed off.
Thank you.
I was working at this game, glad to see this play get it’s recognition!!
No you weren't.
@@jonhohensee3258 I was shut up bot
@@13basekid - Stop with the lies, Jon.
Yeah, even in slow-mo, they got me... I'm not even ashamed to admit it.
That is a brilliant play! It is very difficult for a team kicking off to shift direction when you're running full-speed like that.
I know they’re just kids, but guys on all levels who don’t like contact always find a way to trip over their own feet in the open field somehow.

Great blocks
Denton Ryan was in our district... tuff scene
"Number 2" is Billy Bowman. #2 rated athlete, #37 in the nation and Texas commit. Put some RESPECT on that mans name Jomboy.
Breakdown extra:
Ryan went for 2 after this with the swinging gate - aka the fake punt thing the Colts botched against the Pats.
And it worked.

Watching a perfectly executed football play is like watching an artist paint a masterpiece.
Used to run this in high school it never worked but then again we went defended 2 years in a row.
Hey Jomboy you made national news on public radio this morning.
Nice one jomboy nice one! I loved it and your narration is always a nice finish.
I was watching these high school playoffs in my hotel room in Texas, and those boys are grown men. They look like complete college teams
Wow, I had to watch the first 15 seconds of this 4 times to comprehend what just happened. What a play.
FOOTBALL AT ITS FINEST !! Awesome play 👍👍

As long as you hold them to a FG it will more than work out
People still don’t know what sarcasm is in 2020 and it’s a shame
I expect to see a variation of this in the nfl some time
do the play during this game when the punter kicks the ball out of the end zone and a guy on the other team picks it up and scores

lmao never would have thought jomboy would be covering a video on my old high school 🤣
Maybe they did run that play everytime but since it’s a kick return that means they just let the other team score too
When Gus Malzahn coached at Springdale high school they ran this most kickoffs
The unsung heroes were the teammates that sprinted ahead to make great blocks.
Damn doing Texas HS football, Denton Ryan down the road from me.
Denton is also home to UNT and they pulled one of the best trick plays ever against Arkansas last year.
That star on the 50 always reminds me of T.O. , different building I know. Kid should have pulled a Sharpie from his sock.

A friend of mine is an assistant coach on shadow creek.
Ok..
Nice play. Like a triple option kickoff return.
Brilliantly executed. The first faked runner's gloves looked like the same color as the ball too, which helped the deception
