📝 CORRECTION - The Delay of Game penalty also applies to the defense, NOT just the offense. While it is rarely called, the Defense can incur a Delay of Game penalty if they impede the Offense's ability to line up or fail to return the ball promptly for the next play. When this occurs, the Down is replayed, and the Offense is awarded a 5-yard gain.

I've understood american football (except maybe the super specific stuff about penalties) for most of my life, mostly by asking "why is this happening" when watching with family as a kid. But honestly, after investing myself in the FIFA World Cup this year, it's become apparent how crazy/complex this sport actually is, and how basic/understandable soccer is, despite both being called "football"! (let's not even mention the difference between both of those "footballs" and Australian Rules Football lol)
⏱️ TIMECODES

It's rare, but there is a Defensive Delay of Game.

💻 KEY NOTES
No wonder why the US are the only countries playing American football 🤣🤣🤣 no one else is stupid enough to try understand that game
PLAYER DESCRIPTIONS (not explained in video)
🏈 OFFENSE
I'll stick to Australian rules thanks..🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
C = Center - Offensive linemen (OL) who lines up in the middle and snaps the ball to the QB.
RG/LG = Right/Left Guard - OL who line up on opposite sides of the Center, blocks and creates gaps for RB.
so we forgot about tight ends
RT/LT = Right/Left Tackle - OL who line up on the edges and are in charge of outside protection.
TE = Tight End - Hybrid of an OL and WR who blocks but also catches passes.
I’m 32 I thought it was about time I learn how it works.
FB = Fullback - Also considered an RB but is used for power running in short distances and catching (usually larger than the RB)
🏈 DEFENSE
WTF is this bullshit.
DE = Defensive End - Defensive Linemen (DL) who lines up on the outer sides.
DT = Defensive Tackle - DL who lines up in the interior of the line.
OLB/ILB = Outside/Inside Linebacker - Same position and duties but where they are placed on the field during a formation is different.
FS = Free Safety - Placed on the weak side of the defensive backfield to watch the ball as the play unfolds.
受不了了 为了想要看懂男同文blitzd 中文规则刷了几遍还不够 还要在看一遍更难懂的英文版去了解相关词汇 看得头大 本来都已经翻开第一页看里几段了 结果发现好多专业词汇根本不懂是啥意思 只能来恶补一下 已经花了一小时了🆘 我也不知道值不值得啊啊啊
SS = Strong Safety - Placed on the strong side of the defensive backfield to play closer to the line in stopping the run or covering the Tight End.
🏈 SPECIAL TEAMS
Easily the worst football rules video I've watched.
LS = Long Snapper - sole job is to snap the ball to the Punter.
PR/KR = Punt/Kick Returner - Return punts/kick offs; sometimes is the same person or split between two players.
Dude, in college overtimes, teams start at the 25, not 20. Also, false starts are way more common than encroachment and offsides. And any special team has 11 players. Do better.

I don't even know why I am here, I don't watch sports and don't plan on watching football anytime soon. I guess I am just sick of not knowing how this game works despite growing up and living in a football city.

@JosephAlexander-k1dThe constant loud background music ruined the video, which otherwise is really, really informative and beginner friendly
@TheSayHeyKiddoWorked at ND for 5 years and the entire time never understood anything about what was happening. Maybe now it's time.
@DJCubeDudeas my first time trying to understand this game, I can say I need at least 10 lessons
@MTeeMSo, to gain advantage you have to push Yards as well to get close to the end zone?

@Dynasty1818why do they kick it at the start
@camronsimpson3010It says football, but I see the ball mostly held in hand.💁🤷🏽
@Kodzo_SENYOStill looking for less complicated explanations.
