Why It Sucks To Be An NFL Linebacker

[@wokkdied]

a part of me died when luke kuechly and calvin johnson retired, my two favorite players on each side of the ball had to retire after years of nagging injuries

[@BrutusJrThe3rd]

Smh I’m with you bro. I felt that way about Patrick Willis

[@reillywilliamson1047]

Linebackers doing everything out there on the field

[@notzay3078]

From someone who played the position as a LB you are literally the Quarterback of the defense, you have to know where everyone is supposed to be on the field on defense and help read the offense and then make a play it’s not for the weak but it was very fun and if you love being aggressive and being an animal you’ll love playing LB

[@Nobodyshoes]

QB of the defense? Lol! Stop it. See ball. Get ball.

[@quantrle]

@@Nobodyshoes🤦🏽‍♂️that shi only applies to jv high school football

[@cameronhughez]

@@Nobodyshoes nfl MLB is 100% the QB of the defense, they get the call and relay it to the team and are responsible for anything pre snap like getting guys in the right spot. so, everything pre snap a qb does outside of literally snapping the football, a MLB is also doing on the other side of the football.

[@reddwyd]

@@Nobodyshoes you dont know football, mlb is quite literally the qb of the defense, any mlb will tell you that at any level

[@readyjoe6427]

​@@NobodyshoesI played MLB and a lil edge at Ferris State and I literally had to set positions mainly for the d linemen because many weren't in their correct gaps and that was one of my basic jobs, noy even taking into account reassuring coverage check and audibly having to call out coverage to the rest of the team, if that's basically not QB of the defense you let me know what is, learn ball bruh or even better... actually play it.

[@BR8DN]

As a 9ers fan, Luke Kuechly is my favorite player of all time, in fact I bought his jersey. He played like a beast and I prefer him over Ray Lewis and other LBs because he played and performed well in this more offense geared and softer defense era of the NFL.

[@CallMeFVLL]

As a DIEHARD Panthers fan, it hurts me to my core how my dog Luke didn't have have more team success with us....he was arguably the best mike in the league for a good lil stretch. We were running the NFC south and then like that...nothing.

[@odarkrak5537]

he was THE BEST lb i have ever seen with my own eyes and my favorite player oat and i’m nowhere close to a panthers fan

[@ayewhaddupdoe]

He is top 5 all time at the position, and nobody can even get mad at you if you say he's #1 as far as skill/talent.

[@CommieHunter7]

Soul crushing to see Luke Kuechly and Junior Seau in this vid. "Look at what they make you give"

[@incarnateflame2312]

Man i was really young when it happened with Seau he had played more than my entire life at the time and the public knew honestly nothing bout CTE. Was really sad man. Still is.

[@brandonfouts4074]

great video, I like how you keep it chill but spit facts

[@XAYGOTTii]

The linebackers are more like the RB of the defense and the safeties are more like tight ends

[@Kapowa]

I would say they are like a running back/qb of the defense since they gotta be really tough and have a lot of intellect

[@andydrews4439]

As a diehard Panthers fan, Luke’s part of the video almost made me cry 💔

[@BrutusJrThe3rd]

Y’all had some dawgs man. Both sides of the ball

[@ThatFalloutGod]

I will die on the hill that the way to build teams is from the inside-out. You take an elite DT over Edge, IOL over OT, and then you require a great QB and ILB. And when you can manage to grab a great WR, corner, or RB, you take them. But you never get it twisted, those positions are never more necessary than IOL and IDL.

[@KazeShikamaru]

I respect the effort taking three days to get the video right. Good work.

[@lightlingzooma-69]

bro is soon going to say all positions suck 😂

[@DeeMedia21]

​@@chill0314 A couple of routes that take you across the middle with men like a Kam Chancellor or a Ronnie Lott will help him state his case.

[@chill0314]

@@marcusfrazier4923 but compared to RB and TE how often are WRs really going over the middle these days; exception for slot WRs. Yeah safety can light them up, but that's more often than not as support. WR vs safety 1 on 1 I'm taking the WR Everytime. And based on how much WRs are getting paid in comparison to other skilled players; the only other skill players that are making that type of money are edge rushers. There's not a lot of bigger physical CBs compared to WR. Yeah you'll probably name a few. But across the league WRs tend to have a size advantage.

At 2:44 that isn't a 4-3 defense .. that's a 3-4 defense. 4-3 is 4 down lineman and 3 linebackers .. you showed 3 down lineman and 4 linebackers.

[@calebgriffin9165]

[@real.phins.]

As a high school linebacker, I’ve gotten 10-15 mild concussions last season, I have no plans of quitting until I am old. We definitely are willing to put everything, even our life, on the field

[@shonenscale321]

Learn how to tackle properly stop leading with your head learn correct tackling form that’s how you avid concussion😊 and head injuries

[@trevormatousek1309]

7:53 as a lions fan, no longer having to see this sight brings me much joy

[@kruksog]

Kuechly was one of those special, once in a lifetime players. Generational talent/ football genius.

[@isaiahkane9282]

I’m not tryna Diminish the players coaches or injuries. But a lot of these head injuries start when you first start playing football with not the best coaches. I was fortunate enough to have a coach from about 5th-8th grade teach us about head safety and positioning to keep your head out of the way. Played lb for my entire career. Never sustained a single concussion in that time. Now I never played at that level but I still think it comes down to fundamental thing that started as a young player

Awesome video bro, just a quick tip although it is a bit nerdy, the study you mentioned wasn’t done by the national library of medicine or whoever, that’s the database it gets uploaded to. You have to actually check the author and see what organization they belonged to in order to say who actually wrote the paper. It really ain’t that deep but just wanted to let you know

[@abdulmueedsaleh2007]

As a edge turned MLB, I gotta say, if there is something that I truly learned, it would be patience.

[@abdulmueedsaleh2007]

Im gonna be so real. At first, I was a bit stagnant on your take on how/why positions like these, are undervalued, or even devalued to an extent relatively speaking, over time. But as soon as you mentioned the specialization thing, I swear I probably hadn't switched thought that way as I have in over a week. The versatility is a killer, yet they are the staples that hold both peices together. They are like the foundation, or the roadwork to which peoplle ccan admire and glorify what's on top, like tight ends with receivers. Could only imagine how and where a team would be, if they ended up missing players like Warner, Kelce, Kittle, Greenlaw, etc. etc.

[@Josh-zr1pk]

De'Vondre Campbell saw this vid and said: "You know what? Lemme just--"

[@rainbowhouse3427]

Linebackers have only changed to a hybrid type recently. They are very replaceable and easily developed with the right coaches. They are like the RB's of the defense.

You should do why it sucks to be a Full back. You could also include the fact thatKyle Juszczyk is a 8x pro bowler with only 37 mil in carrer earnings

[@DeeMedia21]

Adding that to the notes

[@rainbowhouse3427]

He's basically the only fullback that's well-known in the NFL. Only like a couple of teams have one or uses one.

[@Editz597]

Could you do why it sucks to be a qb? Qb is insanely difficult

[@rainbowhouse3427]

QB is difficult because your mechanics have to be top notch and smart on the football field. Most people who plays the QB position lacks the other, so they switch position or quit football. Not only that you have to vibe with your teammates, if they don't f with you chances are they won't block or listen to you. It's like being a captain on a ship or pilot of the offense.

[@abdulmueedsaleh2007]

idek whether or not I should ask about 5:50, such that Brandon Perna is edited in his prime version alongside Tua, but nonetheless, a brother will help another, here's a sub.

[@DeeMedia21]

Appreciate you bro, glad you enjoyed it!

[@brianbelden2449]

Urlacher > Kuechley Urlacher was Kuechley before Kuechley. They played the same position in the same exact TAMPA 2 defensive scheme. Urlacher was every bit as powerful and mobile except Urlacher did so at 6'4"/260 and Kuechley was 6'3"/230

OLD MAN HERE AND I CAN'T STAND THIS BULL CRAP!! RAY LEWIS DIDN'T HURT ANYONE. That was blown way out of proportion and even though the police and courts cleared his name and the situation the media never apologized for framing him as a real suspect. HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED. RAY WITNESSED A MURDER IN A STRIP CLUB DURING THE SUPER BOWL. He knew who the murderer was and that they were a high ranking gangster and that the murderer knew he was there. Ray ran off and hid from everyone including the cops because he didn't want to get his family killed. So the cops labeled him as a suspect that's it. After the cops talked to Ray he made it clear that he was unwilling to be a witness unless they had the dude first and other crap to protect his family. THAT'S IT!! HE WAS A WITNESS TO THE MURDER AND NOTHING MORE. Stop listening to the news it's all lies like your school books. Oh yeah THAT'S WHAT LED HIM TO BECOMING A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN
