Pads and helmets aside. These guys hit each other so hard it's like two cars colliding. A few Rugby players have made the cut in the NFL, the NFL looks all around the world for anyone who they think can make it. It's a whole different animal. Even with the rule changes it's a very violent sport.

Fact of the matter is pads make people MORE reckless. In rugby without padding, the responsibility is on the player to tackle safely because there's nothing to aid them. In football, people feel like they're wearing armor so they're less concerned with their safety.

There are a few different rules in place now. No Crack Back blocks (Hitting a players blind side), No hitting a "Defenseless" player(WR in the air unable to protect themselves) now they also have a new rule No Hip Drop Tackle. Basically you cant pull the guy to the ground from behind. Personally they are starting to put to much of the game in the Ref's hands and forcing them to make the very difficult game changing calls. In my opinion and from playing tackle football, you know what you signed on for. It's a hard hitting, fierce, adrenaline and emotion filled sport lets keep it that way.

There is a dangerous tackle law in American football. It's a penalty called Unnecessary Roughness. Most of the hits in this video were legal, but some probably would have been flagged for unnecessary roughness. As far as tackling people without the ball goes, that's pretty common because an offensive player without the ball will want to protect their teammate with the ball by tackling defensive players who, of course, don't have the ball but could make a play on the ball carrier. On the other hand, if a defensive player tackles an offensive player without the ball, especially far away from the ball, that would probably be unnecessary roughness because every defensive player's job is to stop the ball carrier and there's no reason to tackle an offensive player without the ball. Grabbing a player's face mask, as you mentioned, is illegal, and so is a horse collar tackle, which is when you grab a player by the backside of their pads at the neck. It's also illegal to tackle a player out of bounds or tackle a player after a play has ended. The tackle at 4:30 probably would have been penalized for that reason. Targeting is also a type of hit that pro football and college football have really cracked down on. That's basically a helmet to helmet hit. These are all types of unnecessary roughness penalties. Side note: I know there are some football teams that study rugby tackling because as you can see from the video, some players don't really tackle, they just hit other players hard enough to try and knock them down, and many people think rugby tackling is safer because it has a lower force of impact. Pete Carroll, the coach of the Seattle Seahawks, is probably the most famous example of that, but the Texas Tech University football team apparently studies it as well.

The days of the "Big Boys" has largely faded in the era of more mobility, but you only need to look back into the 1980's at William "The Refrigerator" Perry, who at 6'2" and 335lbs was one of the largest to play as a full-back and did well as a defensive lineman. In one play as a fullback covering for Walter Payton, he actually picked up Payton when he had gotten bogged down in the coverage and carried him a ways until the play was blown dead as he was not allowed to do that.

There are quite a few rules concerning dangerous tackles and many of these plays would be flagged today. On a pass you cannot hit the intended receiver until they have the ball and make a “football move”. There are also certain types of tackles that are prohibited, but the penalty would be something like a horse collar (pulling a player down by grabbing inside of the back of the pads). As for hits off the ball, those are blocks and as long as they are part of the play perfectly legal - blocking someone no longer involved in the play is not.

Dangerous tackles in football is leading with the head, that's why they changed it to tackle with your shoulder. This was most likely due to spinal injuries and to prevent the target from getting either knocked out from a head-to-head tackle or more damage from a head-to-chest.

As a Nebraska fan, I still love that Kenny Bell’s block against Wisconsin (I think the second or third clip) is included. These guys are in UNIVERSITY and hitting this hard. And that play, although called in the game as a penalty, was still completely legal.

I played Football, defensive lineman, I can tell you at the end of the game it often felt like I had been in a car accident. I injured my knees several times. Had to have a couple knee surgeries and still have knee problems. I really miss playing though, I would do it all over again if I could.

3:13 this is mostly true in American football as well. There are rules like pass interference that prevent the defense from tackling a potential receiver down the field. There is also a penalty called “roughing the passer” which you can get for tackling the quarterback long after he throws the ball.

If the target doesn't have the ball, the guy hitting him is technically "blocking." The idea is that the tackler's guy has the ball, and the tacklee might be trying to (or might eventually, possibly in a different game... :) ) tackle the ball-carrier, so a guy on the ball-carrier's team takes him out before he can. If you watch more of this stuff, every now and then you'll see the guy with the ball running with a couple of his own guys near him, and the commentators will say he "has an entourage." Those guys are supposed stick near him to block or tackle anyone who might be going after the guy with the ball. Same idea.

Dude, as a former D-1 football player from a "group of 5 school"(even though they weren't called that at the time). I can promise you the pads do absolutely nothing to impede the damage on a big hit. Multiple broken ribs, sternum, plus 5 or 6 concussions before they gave a shit about CTE to prove it lol. I was a 4-3 DE/wOLB the pads make you feel invisible, the athleticism is world class, the hits are car crashes.

I’m not sure if this is mentioned elsewhere in the comments but it is important to understand that a lot of these plays are now illegal in the rules of American football. Any kind of contact initiated with the head of the defender or directed towards the head of an offensive player is now illegal. Blindside hits by blockers against defenders are also illegal in many cases. There is no place in the sport for these kinds of dangerous (and in almost every case unnecessary) plays. I grew up as a kid enamored with these kinds of hits and played with lots of tenacity and aggression in my 12 year playing career, but there is far too much evidence that points to the devastating long-term consequences of brain trauma in football. I still love a good violent tackle/block but when it is performed in a way that is safe for both players. Cheers!

But of course the person wearing the gloves quickly realized THEY could in fact hit HARDER with the gloves...

NFL hospital passes, and NFL cheap shots, and or NFL ejections MLB head shots. Some of those pitches are over 90 miles an hour and I believe there is INE head shot ball to bat then ball to pitchers head at 104 miles per hour. Also look into these NFL players, Larry Alen, Lyle Alzado, Lawrence Taylor, Bill Romanowski, and Bo Jackson.

A lot of the plays shown would currently result in a 15 yard penalties and some ejections from the game (and a large fine). Face mask, horse collar (grabbing someone by back of the neck), unnecessary roughness, pass interference (ball spotted at the location of the foul), roughing the passer, late hit, leading with the helmet (includes helmet to helmet).

the pads cause a similar effect as boxing gloves. the illusion of protection on the part of the one doing the hitting causes them to commit more force to it. also it's probably been explained but the hits on the people who don't have the ball are usually a player blocking the opposition from tackling the one with the ball

The pads make the players hit even harder. In fact, there are more injuries with the pads than there used to be without. It's similar in boxing. Once they started using the padded gloves, the boxers could throw harder punches, and the incidents of injury went way up.
