Yeah the “blindside blocks” are illegal for player safety as they’re not able to see the block coming. It’s tough because I totally understand player safety but at the same time it’s odd that a guy can become essentially untouchable just because he’s not aware enough.

[@nathanlindahl8336]

Yeah I don’t know how as a football player you’re supposed to just let someone tackle your guy just because they don’t see you coming. Don’t make sense.

[@a3gill]

The technical rule is you aren't allowed to make a block pointed toward your own goal line. So, it's more "peel back blocks" than blindside.

[@Alex-kd5xc]

I don’t think it’s odd at all. We protect receivers the same exact way. Also, it’s not a matter of, are they aware or not, it’s more about forcible contact and the direction of the block. If it was about that, trap blocks on the line would be illegal, because they’re designed to trick defensive lineman. In a lot of these, the extra forcible contact isn’t necessary. They could have just stood in the path of the defender just to get in his way and accomplish the same thing but without the penalty. That being said, refs inevitably mess it up a lot. There’s been a lot of awful blindside block calls.

[@dochollidaysraidersintel6466]

Not aware enough? Nobody has 360° vision and the point is to stop him from getting to the ball carrier not put him in a wheelchair.

Daz - 11:30 - Blindside Block - "In 2019, the league instituted a specific rule banning 'blindside blocks'. The term 'blindside' is an absolute misnomer, though, as the rule bans all blocks made when a player is moving parallel to the line of scrimmage or back toward his own goal line."

[@TheLoos3Goos33]

The non-uniformed player rule is more there so security doesn't potentially get confused and mistake a player in street clothes for some random fan. He is 100% legal to celebrate with his teammates and dance all he wants, he just has to wait for them to get to the sidelines.

[@raskbell]

Blindside block rule is relatively new and controversial rule voted in in 2019 in an effort to prevent injuries from big hits like you were seeing in the video. It basically is summarized that outside the line of scrimmage, you can't block another player if you are moving towards your own end zone or parallel to it (e.g. running backwards).

[@barnabydodd8956]

I believe you can block them, you just can't lead with your shoulder and launch yourself. You basically just have to block them like your a lineman at the line of scrimmage. Use your hands, divert their course, get in their way, etc. You just can't blow them up.

The rules have been tweaked a lot over the last decade, so what you see in a highlight even from 15 years ago may not be legal now. I know on interception/fumble returns, players on the intercepting team have to be blocking TOWARD the goal they are trying to score at. "blindside" blocking, or turning around to face the goaline you are defending and blocking players is a foul now. Or at least that is how I understand it. Edit: "It is a foul if a player initiates a block when his path is toward or parallel to his own end line and makes forcible contact to his opponent with his helmet, forearm, or shoulder."

[@delontamonroe7503]

Two words, “Hines Ward”!!!!!!! He is the reason for the rule; or rather, he is the reason that offensive players began to complain about crack-back blocks! Of course, the fallout from what Warren Sapp did to that player from the Green Bay Packers had a hand to play in the matter as well!

[@ChrisE25]

The rule on those blocks is that u can't block facing your own endzone. It was put in as a rule 2 or 3 years ago for player safety. It applies to offense and defense so for plays like interceptions they can run in his way but they can't just hit him full force.

[@BenTIStudios]

no. And everyone stop saying this. The rule is you can't do a blindside block at any point now.. offense or defense. Really simple.

[@ChrisE25]

@@BenTIStudios just because u sound confident doesn't nean you're right. It's facing your own endzone. How can these guys and referees be expected to know what the opponent is looking at or if the opponent just doesn't see him coming. Its been not facing your own endzone.

It's been said that the average NFL regular player, even if he isn't considered injured, takes just about the whole week to get back into playing condition for the next game. Considering how superbly conditioned these guys are, that's a telling statement about power of the hits on the field.

[@mmmmmduffbeer]

RIP Sean Taylor. That hit on the punter wasn't even in a real game, it was in the Pro Bowl, the NFL's All-Star game. It's probably smart, but no one plays with that much intensity in the Pro Bowl anymore because an injury in an exhibition game is too great a financial risk

The blindside blocks never used to be illegal. They were part of the game. But the NFL has implemented many new rules over the years for players safety. Quarter backs can't even be touched in the head or tackled below the knees. Even a clean hit on a receiver when they aren't looking can now be called a penalty for a hit on a "defenseless receiver". Horse collar tackles, where you grab a guys shoulder pads and drag him down from behind. Each year it becomes harder and harder to be a defender

[@MSpight]

To answer Daz: some of those tackles are illegal because you are not supposed to lower your head to initiate contact in American football.

[@jartstopsign]

A blindside hit on player that leaves him motionless and mangled is usually just ruled under the umbrella of "unnecessary roughness", or sometimes if it's a receiver it's ruled a hit on a defenseless receiver, or if he's not the ball target sometimes they'll call "launching". All 15 yards and usually land the penalized player a hefty fine after the game

[@phunkjnky]

Mark Schlereth (nicknamed Stink is his playing days) played offensive guard and won Super Bowls with Washington and Denver. Schlereth earned the nickname "Stink" because once his uniform pants went on, they didn't come off until the game was over. So if anything happened, it happened in his pants. I suspect he was not the only one.

[@barnabydodd8956]

Those plays where guys are running across the field and get lit up and don't see it coming are called blindside blocks. They usually occur on interceptions. The old rule used to be that they were legal as long as you didn't hit them in their head. The rule changed a couple of years ago because players were still getting really hurt even with leading with their shoulder to the chest and not hitting them in the head. The new rule is you can still block, but you cannot absolutely launch yourself and blow them up on a blindside block.

[@79seville27]

Got my clock cleaned on a kickoff. Definitely was saying to myself "where the hell did he come from"

[@saughs]

I had one of these happen to me my very first high school game. I was a receiver and was supposed to block, but I took my eye off of the defender because we weren’t anywhere near the play…he just snuck up and leveled me.

[@pontifex9285]

The blindside blocks aren't illegal in themselves, it's when the blocker is facing or parallel to his own endzone, basically they don't want to force defenders who are trying to make a tackle to have the same awareness as if they were ball-carriers. They're supposed to be able to focus on the ball-carrier without being paranoid about being hit from out of nowhere.

[@codydolby42]

As a coach in a league run by NFL rules (I don't coach in the NFL ) the "Crack back rule" was explained that the player with the ball is the point of origin. Any player level or behind the point of origin and outside the "halo" of 5 yards can't be blocked by a person who is facing their own goal. So basically if a person is facing opposite of the way the ball carrier is, it's illegal. Also these flags typically only happen with violent/aggressive blocks, but could be thrown on others

[@matthewbeffa5781]

Question about blindsided hits and the penalty, there are many dif blindsight hit rules but generally: "It is a foul if a player initiates unnecessary contact against a player who is in a defenseless posture. The intended receiver of a pass in the action during and immediately following an interception or potential interception." And why? The blindsiding rule exists to protect the long-term health of the players, also making participating in professional american football more sustainable.

[@kevinexline5392]

So you can’t perform what’s considered “blindside block” or you’ll hear a lot of people call it a crack back block. Obviously, you can’t block them in the back (penalty for block in the back). But if the tackler is running towards the ball carrier at an angle that’s adjacent to the block coming, typically if the blocker “lays the boom” to them, it’ll get flagged for a blindside block.

[@a3gill]

There's a phrase in Football and Hockey that I'm not sure made it internationally, but you gotta "keep your head on a swivel" :D

[@deano4138]

You can't forcefully block players going towards the end zone. It's a relatively new rule but it's designed to prevent some of the car crashes you saw here. Defensive players are running full speed focused on the ball carrier opens them up to hits from that direction they don't expect. You can still block players like this, just not with any force.

[@JayRockLA]

Best trick plays in football is a must watch

[@Nakturnal_1]

Not all blindside blocks are flagged, but in recent years, the NFL has been penalizing them more to promote player safety.

[@loganbrown7385]

The easiest way to see the rule is what direction the hit comes from. An offensive player cannot throw a block on a player while moving towards their own endzone (the endzone the offense is trying to move away from)

[@liamengram6326]

8:08 The rule is that you protect your QB. Doesn't matter if it's dirty. There are only 32 starting QBs in the league and the difference in ability between the top, middle, and bottom tier much less the starters and the backups is game changing. If someone shoves your QB you hit them 10x harder.

[@darrinlindsey]

I see a lot of people trying to explain the block that the two announcers said were not allowed. It boils down to angles. If you can imagine a player looking straight ahead, and that angle being 0°. So that makes the two shoulders at 90°. If a block is made on a player, that is deemed by the officials to have been past that 90° point, it's considered a "blindside block". Basically any type of hit on a player that is behind that 90° point is a foul. Sometimes it falls under a different name.

[@djm3suxx]

I got blindsided in high school varsity ball by a little pencil neck receiver once. Not fun and I think I was concussed but twenty five years ago they just gave you smelling salt and if you’re able to go back in, you’re back in. I just remember sitting up on my ass and the field was spinning and the play being about 40 yards downfield. I put my hands on my face mask thinking my actual head was twirling. Basically that block, the blindside or crack back block, has been deemed illegal for health and player safety reasons.

[@Justin-nq6kf]

There's a lot of ignorant people who think Ruby is a tougher sport due to the padding and helmet. What they dont realize it really doesn't do much when it comes to hard collisions. Rugby is a contact sport and Football is a collision sport.

The hit at 9:33 has a great story behind it, probably the best revenge story in football. The hall of fame receiver Steve Largent laid out Mike Harden, caused the fumble and recovered the ball. Largent was known as a finesse receiver and had great hands for the ball, he was not an enforcer. 14 weeks earlier Harden knocked Largent out with an illegal hit to the head, Largent was out for close to five minutes and had some broken teeth. Harden was fined by the league for the hit. This clip happened when the teams next met. The football gods conspired to give Largent the perfect opportunity to get revenge. Largent says this was his favorite play of his career, topping any of the touchdowns he scored. There's a KZbin video on the two plays - kzbin.info/www/bejne/roSygaWtl5Kgh8U

[@jordanwilliams4542]

The rule as far as the blocks goes is that “peel back” blocks are illegal. U can’t come back towards your own line of scrimmage to make a block against a defender. So situations where a runner is running and a defender is chasing and a receiver comes down towards them and lays out a defender are illegal. In a situation like that, offensive players are encouraged to more get in the defenders way so to speak as opposed to putting their shoulder in their chest. There are some good examples out there of receivers doing it the right way and getting the block and not getting a penalty called. You guys should look some up

[@justinatest9456]

[@midnightryder3330]

It's called a blindside or a crackback block, It's illegal because the blocker is moving against the flow of the game , he can move vertically down a yard marker to make the block but not against the grain

[@Bunch007]

Blindside Block from the NFL Rulebook: It is a foul if a player initiates a block when his path is toward or parallel to his own end line and makes forcible contact to his opponent with his helmet, forearm, or shoulder." **Edit** Also known as a "Defenseless Player". More Rules about Defenseless Players below: It is a foul if a player initiates unnecessary contact against a player who is in a defenseless posture. Players in a defenseless posture are: A player in the act of or just after throwing a pass (passing posture) A receiver attempting to catch a pass who has not had time to clearly become a runner. If the player is capable of avoiding or warding off the impending contact of an opponent, he is no longer a defenseless player The intended receiver of a pass in the action during and immediately following an interception or potential interception. If the player is capable of avoiding or warding off the impending contact of an opponent, he is no longer a defenseless player. Note: Violations of this provision will be enforced after the interception, and the intercepting team will maintain possession. A runner already in the grasp of a tackler and whose forward progress has been stopped A kickoff or punt returner attempting to field a kick in the air A player on the ground A kicker/punter during the kick or during the return (Also see Article 6(h) for additional restrictions against a kicker/punter) A quarterback at any time after a change of possession (Also see Article 9(f) for additional restrictions against a quarterback after a change of possession) A player who receives a “blindside” block when the path of the offensive blocker is toward or parallel to his own end line. A player who is protected from an illegal crackback block (see Article 2) The offensive player who attempts a snap during a Field Goal attempt or a Try Kick Prohibited contact against a player who is in a defenseless posture is: forcibly hitting the defenseless player’s head or neck area with the helmet, facemask, forearm, or shoulder, even if the initial contact is lower than the player’s neck, and regardless of whether the defensive player also uses his arms to tackle the defenseless player by encircling or grasping him lowering the head and making forcible contact with the crown or ”hairline” parts of the helmet against any part of the defenseless player’s body illegally launching into a defenseless opponent. It is an illegal launch if a player (i) leaves both feet prior to contact to spring forward and upward into his opponent, and (ii) uses any part of his helmet to initiate forcible contact against any part of his opponent’s body. (This does not apply to contact against a runner, unless the runner is still considered to be a defenseless player, as defined in Article 7.) Note 1: The provisions of (b) do not prohibit incidental contact by the mask or helmet in the course of a conventional tackle or block on an opponent. Note 2: A player who initiates contact against a defenseless opponent is responsible for avoiding an illegal act. This includes illegal contact that may occur during the process of attempting to dislodge the ball from an opponent. A standard of strict liability applies for any contact against a defenseless opponent, even if the opponent is an airborne player who is returning to the ground or whose body position is otherwise in motion, and irrespective of any acts by the defenseless opponent, such as ducking his head or curling up his body in anticipation of contact. Penalty: For unnecessary roughness: Loss of 15 yards and an automatic first down. The player may be disqualified if the action is judged by the official(s) to be flagrant.

NFL players are extremely tough... even the kickers/punters, who most people barely consider part of the team, are tougher than your typical guy. You have to be tough to be on the same team as these monsters. It is an extremely macho game where playing through pain and being able to dish out mayhem is the norm.

There are rules regarding hitting a “defenseless” player… what’s considered a”defenseless” position is subjective = controversy

[@magdielserrano9554]

The rule Daz and the commentators are commenting on. Is that you cannot hit a player without the ball from the opposite direction from which the player is moving. Essentially you can’t block from the blindside. Or exactly as the law reads “An illegal peel back block penalty occurs when an offensive player blocks an opponent running towards their own end zone by approaching them from the back or side, or by making contact below the waist. This incurs a 15 yard penalty.” Not to be confused with tackling a defenseless player which occurs when a defensive player tackles, hits, or blocks an offensive player with the ball. Keep in mind in the case of a turnover, defensive players immediately become offensive players, and vice versa in the eyes of the law.

@11:28 Why can't you do it - A lot of bad information. The NFL changed the rules on blocking in 2019. They wanted to eliminate blindside blocks on kicks and run backs. You can no longer initiate a block when you are moving towards or parallel to your own end line. Basically, you have to block the same direction your team is trying to go. The rule actually says a blocker is not allowed to come back and make forcible contact to his opponent with his helmet, forearm or shoulder. Like in basketball you can block but you have to be set when the other player runs into you. So, just a few years ago these are all good and legal blocks.

That hit at the end ended joe Montana’s 49ers career. Also a lot of NFL rules have been changed to protect players you can barely touch them anymore

Blind side blocks are illegal

[@Stubby1085]

If you guys want to see a brutal hit: Turkey Jones slams Terry Bradshaw.

[@mrhanekoma86]

That rule has to do with contacting the head first. You’re supposed to hit with your shoulder but you can’t aim for their head or lead with yours.

[@magdielserrano9554]

That’s a rule. The rule Daz and the commentators are commenting on. Is that you cannot hit a player without the ball from the opposite direction of the play. Essentially you can’t block from the blindside. Or exactly as the law reads “An illegal peel back block penalty occurs when an offensive player blocks an opponent running towards her own end zone by approaching them from the back or side or by making contact below the waist. This incurs a 15 yard penalty”
