Bro you can punt and recover a touchdown dude ????? That’s so fucking sick fr man Why have I not watched the cfl man 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Man this rule set is fr entertaining

[@scottdobravolsky3177]

I agree this is really great football

[@tommysoprano1441]

Thanks my American brother

[@fortranwarrior8716]

The rules of Canadian football certainly seem more logical, especially when compared with other types of football. Football in the US tries so hard to take the “foot” out of football.

[@coryburris8211]

6:39 is peak CFL action, this can't happen in American football

[@SuperHorseSense]

Whoa wtf. This is like a completely different sport from the NFL. I had no idea.

[@VoIcanoman]

Yup. People are always trying to say that the CFL is basically a lesser version of the NFL, but that's really comparing apples and oranges. The fundamentals of the game are similar, but the details can be shockingly different.

[@MrChrisdube]

It's a good game. The NFL should incorporate some CFL rules.

[@lantron123]

If you watch a whole a game it's close to American Football. Biggest difference is the kicking game.

5:56 I love how #37 made the choice to pitch it, then made the block that basically made the TD! That's just good football right there, folks!

[@cflhighlights9370]

Yes! I don't know if this is just a CFL thing but interceptors often try to lateral so their teammate can score a touchdown. This is the only time I know of that it works.

[@cflhighlights9370]

Actually, I can think of another example of this. 2017 Winnipeg @ BC.

[@Konformation07]

​@@cflhighlights9370It depends on the team. In the NFL though possesion is such a premium due to the rules and nature of the game so laterals can be frowned upon unless explicitly designed into the play.

[@cflhighlights9370]

@@Konformation07 That's what I figured. I saw the Patriots/Vegas ending from last year and I'll bet that made everyone in the NFL reconsider lateralling!!

[@Noah1997callahan]

Love this league so much

[@jeffalanvasconcellos3039]

Love it!

[@Shmerpy]

This is great.

[@TheAseer2020]

The first play of this video reminds me of a trick play that I think is possible under the rule set of the NFL. If a ball is punted and it does not cross the line of scrimmage anyone on the offense is able to recover the ball behind the line of scrimmage and advance the ball passed it. If my understanding is correct on a play where the center is not grading anyone the QB can punt pass it to the Center, as long as he gets it behind the line of scrimmage, for a gain.

[@JohnSmith-oe5kx]

LOVE the open-field kick at 1:10! If only they had recovered for the TD

[@cflhighlights9370]

Yeah. I want to find an example of that.

[@maxscameraguy]

So much kicking!!!!

[@cflhighlights9370]

Yes!! Makes special teams a little more special.

[@huge_legend9944]

The Cohon era was the best time for the CFL

[@evansokolson9221]

The ball is live as soon as the receiver touches it?? Holy shit!!

[@cflhighlights9370]

If you're talking about the Montreal/Toronto one, it was overturned.

[@bolognaking6197]

If what you are saying is that on a kick the members of the kicking team who are not onside (i.e. the kicker and everyone behind him when the kick is made) have to be 5 or more yards away from the receiver at the moment he touches the ball, yes. That is the no yards rule. Of course the ball is still live before being touched which is why if nobody touches it and it goes through the endzone a rouge is scored. And once a member of the receiving team touches the kicked ball, the kicking team no longer has to give yards. The weirdest clip in this set is the one at 1:29 where the ball was sitting on the goal line. The BC kicker was onside and could have picked that ball up for a touchdown, so where was he? Maybe he forgot he was playing football and went out for a beer figuring that the play was over once he had kicked it.😀

[@ethanrocker406]

The CFL is football in its purest form

[@rubberneckinc.8937]

It is?

[@JohnSmith-oe5kx]

@@rubberneckinc.8937 It is technically closer to rugby than the NFL is (even if most of the differences in rules do not come into play very often), but one isn't "purer" than the other...

[@JohnSmith-oe5kx]

@counselthyself I prefer the actual gameplay of the CFL, although NFL athletes are a cut above.

[@rubberneckinc.8937]

I am an American and I have no idea what's going on. This is wonderful and totally insane. No wonder they took Flutie from us.

[@cflhighlights9370]

I'll make a video explaining some of the rules featured in this video soon. Stay tuned!

[@JohnSmith-oe5kx]

Both games evolved from rugby, but the NFL added more rules that make various rugby plays impossible. Even so, many of them are incredibly rare in the CFL. Technically, it would be legal for a player to dribble the ball down the field as in soccer, which is not infrequent in rugby but I have never seen it in the CFL.

[@blackberrythorns]

@@JohnSmith-oe5kx gridiron rugby football developed in canada, it was introduced to the states in 1874 mcgill vs. harvard.

[@jonathanrice1070]

Canadian football almost goes full on rugby sometimes.

[@yxeaviationphotog]

One play that should have been here was from the 2013 Grey Cup. Durant was carrying the ball when he gets hit hard and coughs up the ball....and Wes Cates catches it on the run. Only resulted in a first down, but it was a pretty unusual play.

[@cflhighlights9370]

Added it to Part 3!

[@ThandrieDavis]

11:39 This play is completely within the CFL rules but I swear it's like ChatGPT drawing up a play for the Bengals.

[@cflhighlights9370]

I mean all of these are within CFL rules

[@cflhighlights9370]

Hope you enjoy.

[@fortranwarrior8716]

CFL is a lot better game than NFL. Rules make a lot more sense, given the origins of the game. Imagine actually being able to kick the ball in FOOT-BALL 😅

[@gracedoesrandomthings]

what was the flag for 1:28 ? also never seen anything like this before ! great video !

[@cflhighlights9370]

Glad you like it. The flag may have been because BC was within 5 yards of the Montreal kick returner or because the play was delayed for too long.

[@cflhighlights9370]

Yes, if you're interested in more CFL you can watch about half of this season's games on CBS!

[@jivesnarker8105]

Aha, the first play on the list had me confused for a second until they showed the wide angle shot. The fullback (I assume) was behind the punter when the kick was made therefore making him onside and eligible to score upon making contact with the ball. It's astonishing how close to rugby the Canadian game is!

[@cflhighlights9370]

Because you liked that, I'm going to show you something else: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIa2ZXabbq53lZY

[@jeffpearljam1976]

What is going on?

[@cflhighlights9370]

Depends on the scenario, most kicking back and forth plays are to score or avoid a single point (i.e. second last clip). Open field kicks and quick kicks here are mostly in hopes of an onside recovery like in the first play. Fumbles are just comedies of errors!

[@mattywired1086]

OK so Canadian Football doesnt have the same rules as the NFL or Americal College football I guess. Because I had no idea I thought it was just a Canadian football league. But punting the ball like this it looks more like Rugby than football in some of these plays. I mean what the hell is this ?

[@despe666]

Kicking the ball is actually meaningful in the CFL. In the NFL, kicks end in fair catches or touchbacks about 90% of the time. Boring.

[@cflhighlights9370]

It's "foot" ball.

[@zoeyclo547]

???????

[@b-moredeydey4109]

Bro I don’t understand this CFL

[@cflhighlights9370]

Anyone can kick at any time, if you can’t get a kick out of the endzone the kicking team gets one point, anyone behind the kicker can recover the kick, 3 downs, 12 men, 110 yards, 20 yard endzones, goalposts at the front, 3 minute warning, that’s enough to get you started!
