This video gave me chills. I LOVE football and a part of me misses the intensity the sport had when I was a kid but this video reminds you of how many legends died in agony after the lights stopped shining on them. It’s a shame that people get so severely injured and die these horrific deaths, im glad that the NFL is “trying” to make the game “safer”

[@EJD339]

Yeah dude, I hate when people bash the newer type football calling it soft. It definitely is but if we want this game to last longer, we need take some precautions.

[@tylerm2870]

the huge hits were really awesome to see but yeah the change was something that definitely needed to be done

[@jacolbyxbx6762]

The issue with the new rules is that they don't make the game safer for the players at the most risk (linebackers, O-linemen, D-lineman, Running backs,) the rules are designed to create more offense which drives more interest in casual viewers boosting revenue under the facade of caring about players.

[@Shooopdawooooop]

@@jacolbyxbx6762 this is super true, I whole heartedly agree! My main issue is the inconsistency from ref team to ref team. The better refs get the playoff games and those are always FAR more entertaining and physical than the regular season. I think if there’s more consistency in the calls It would help a lot. It’s hard to make Line play safer tho, it’s a trench war essentially so idk what could be done to make It safer but I’m sure someone smarter than me can come up with something. I want football to stick around, it’s my favorite sport and it’ll always hold a spot in my heart.

I played only one year of football in high school, 10th grade. I took some nasty hits to the head being a defensive end and a full back. The amount of respect I have for the guys who keep playing till college and then pros is A LOT. A part of me wants the old school hard hits. But then I look at how the lives of these players are once they have retired.

[@Los150]

Burfict was certifiably nuts on the football field. Funny how if he played in the 70s, 80s or 90s he’d probably be viewed by us today as one of the greatest linebackers of all time lol

[@gerryfegan3608]

I always use him while I play Madden 25. The original one that came out a decade ago. He hits so fucking hard, he flat lines and makes dudes fumble in game. 97 hitting power I got him up to

[@denisfolcik1373]

Even as a Steelers fan, Harrison frequently crossed the line on hits. Never had an issue with most of his fines, only the fact that when he made clean hits, that looked violent, he still got flagged. I believe it was against the Raiders, he hit a receiver who jumped for the ball, and his head basically hit him in the hip/ass area, and they called helmet to helmet contact. He brought it upon himself but they called plenty of BS penalties on him later because of it.

[@ghostofmoredishesmorebitch1507]

[@UnlimitedProduction1]

The NFL lying about CTE is a large part of the reason their over compensation to big hits now. the game was always naturally going towards player safety but the way they ended up enforcing this last decade is mostly to avoid another lawsuit. I'm okay with situations like no bounty hunters (even though stuff like that dates back to decades in all forms of football) and no one being paralyzed like Darryl Stingely in the 70s but the way they go about it now where if a hit gets a reaction from the fans they flag it is too much. You can't take the physicality out of a contact physical sport. Some aspects about the game people are just gonna have to accept.

I always liked the hard hits when I was growing up (late 80s early 90s) and that was kind of what drew me to the game in the beginning. It was a gladiator sport and part of why the NFL became so popular; it was because of the physicality. Don't get me wrong, the game still has physicality but it's different. I was never a fan of cheap shots and that part definitely had to be removed from the game. Today, I'm glad safety is a priority, I'm just not a fan of the ticky tack stuff.

I saw the Jevon sneed hit and it’s crazy to think that one hard hit can make your mental ability decline slowly over the next couple years. He never really took off in the NFL and eventually fell victim to suicide because of psychotic symptoms and depression The NFL can greatly reduce the number of players with long term affects if they just allow the players to use weed. Mike Tyson used to smoke weed all the time and he’s still good upstairs.

[@jeffgayzose8129]

Mike tyson was a smart boxer who rarely took big hits, I doubt weed is the reason he's still ok

[@paulbitgood2117]

Funny part is that I RARELY see an offensive player penalized for leading with the helmet.

[@deaj8450]

Because the nfl will never care if offensive players succeed in the way that they dont like defensive success. They want 40 points a game on both sides cause it makes more money go around, if offenses play dirty to do that the nfl doesn't mind. I've always hated that different players are able to be hit in only certain parts of their body, but only at certain subjective times, but other players can pretty much be hit wherever. It's all bs.

[@Dp_is_Op]

[@hollins35]

Every man that ever played football knew what they were getting into when you put that helmet on to play. As a former player myself most head injuries come from leading with your head when going for a tackle or ducking your head when the ball carrier is coming to you. Leading with the shoulder or wrapping up for a tackle is alot safer than leading with your head. Also as a defensive back low hits happen even when you're in mid stride or mid air sometimes certain hits are just reactions without considering because of the moment of trying to make a play.

I loved football and wished I had played it more but I’m glad stopped. I played O line and D line but I received all my head injuries from blindside blocks on defense. I got caught off guard many times by these blocks and it was hard to prevent myself from hitting my head on the ground. In September of this year two high school football players lost their life to traumatic brain injuries caused by playing football. It’s simply not worth playing such a violent sport. Nobody should have to suffer from brain injuries because they love the game.

Yes I agree. High school footballl in particular is getting more intense every year with more and more focus on athletic training than in years past.

I agree with trying to make the game safer, and I understand general audiences want to see shootouts and not defensive struggles, but I loved playing D and wish they would find a way to let defenses have a better chance. Like in HS or college a play ends when the ball carrier is down regardless if there was contact or not.

[@BenDover-gd3mf]

We need to go back to rugby tackle rules in gridiron. It's a lot safer and still fun to watch.

[@willtaylor6793]

now its up to coaches to teach players how to tackle both effectively and safely. what ppl don't realize is hitting someone up high hurts the defender just as much as it hurts the ball carrier, especially if the ball carrier is a larger player. The problem is most defenders, especially smaller guys like DB's aren't properly taught how to cut tackle and go low effectively, a lot of guys have to learn how to tackle on their own bc even their coaches don't know how to teach them the new way to tackle. This leads to targeting knees and more and more injuries to the lower body of offensive players, especially due to the fact that major structures like the ACL, LCL and MCL are all so vulnerable.

Being a Seahawks fan i really miss the Legion of Boom, but this video remembers me why it was stopped, and to be honest, the game for the players started being more fun, maybe the NFL could look up to a different kind of helmet, to minimize concussions and CTE.

[@Papashaft]

I was a 5’6 160lb defensive end in hs because I wasn’t very fast and didn’t have experience for WR, so I played defensive. Let me tell you something, being small has its perks sure it harder for big o line men to get ahold of you and it’s easy to go 1v1 against a RB but one wrong move your fucking waking up in a hospital

[@braytonwilkinson37]

makes me cry these guys give their lives for the game we all wish to play or even just watch. for entertainment, money or fame, idk if it’s worth your sanity

[@willtaylor6793]

I will say that getting hit chest level by a defender, especially when they tackle you with their shoulder instead of leading with their helmet, doesn't really hurt bad and as long as you control your head with your neck when you hit the ground you should be fine from a concussion standpoint. The problems started when players realized that the hardest part of their gear was their helmet, and they could essentially headbutt guys to knock em down, and as much as you don't want this to happen with the decreasing size and reduced use of other forms of padding its inevitable, whether on purpose or pure accident.

I don't care how much you like "hard hitting football" I'd rather see a league of healthy teams playing their best ball. That being said, there should be no rules about contact past the 2 yard line. You tackle low that close and they're just gonna fall into the endzone.

[@smokeyBREWER]

Nobody wants to see anyone get hurt. But when you step on a football field you understand that you could lose your life on that field. As a safety I use to love to hit people but I never tried to purposely hurt other players. Sean Taylor was always my fav player.
