lol
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice
That's a violation 😂
Would be nice to hear more detail on what these concepts are designed to do to influence the linebackers and or safeties and how the QB goes through his reads (high/low reads for example), instead of just showing the formation and what it is called. Like explaining how dagger is designed to clear out the safety and give the QB a high low read depending on if the linebackers fall back to cover the dig or come up to cover the shallow drag from the opposite side of the formation. I only know a few of the common concepts to this extent and if you could teach them all it would be really interesting. Thank you!
Literally what I thought this video was going to be about lol
Why don’t you make the video? You clearly understand it
This video was a very high level look, an intro to the concepts. I definitely have interest coming back and exploring more, just know that each concept has some many details and variations that if you wanted me to do that, each concept would almost need its own video. Thanks for watching and the suggestion!
@@ChalkTalkFootball I hope you do make more in the future.
@@user-me9wg5xt6j I dont know that much to be honest and I know even less about making videos. I'm more of a consumer lol.
I'm trying to get better at Madden because being a 33 year old playing against Gen Z is like suicide 😂
Old heads don’t use enough cheese
@@wristocrat cheese sucks
Understand real football concepts first then incorporate them into the game. Also learn how to read defenses!
Madden isn’t very realistic
@@stebo5562 it’s not but the concepts still apply. Just basic knowledge of football Xs and Os can help you understand and read defenses better.
Im a coordinator in Germany. Good stuff. You could improve the video by showing which player is being isolated and how each route causes problems for said isolated player. Vs man, 1 safety, 2 safety. Good stuff though. It popped in my feed and found it nice.
REALLY like this type of video! I was never a player, but now I'm super interested in the strategy of football.
Good job again Grant. The intricate details of Diagrams. And the euphonious delivery of voice are your two best USPs. This is HARD level theory with a surprising lucidity
Was actually a nice video man. I knew a couple three of those, and I had heard a lot of them like smash and mesh, but didn't know the routes and what not. Keep the Football 101 videos coming.
I am going to start pumping these out. They probably won't get me that many views but I love the concept and being able to teach others. Hope you stick around for them! Any concept you want covered specifically
@@ChalkTalkFootball Nope. You do you. I gave you a sub though, just keep em rolling. I actually would like to see some defensive concepts expanded upon.
@@quipalco Well I just released a Personnel video which deals with both offense and defense. Hope you enjoy!
New fan here from the UK - loved the vid. Hope you release more Football 101 vids !
Hey man love the videos. They are well presented, simple to understand, and to the point. Your other videos are great too, and I see lots of potential for your content. Everyone! Let’s and comment this guys videos and share them so he can get that nice algorithm going!!
Another great Chanel for those looking for videos such as these is the QB school. It helps if you’re a QB but it’s also good for anyone in general looking for more FBI
Important thing to add about the Stick concept is that the stick route run by the WR can be an option route, depending on the coverage if it’s man or zone. If man, then the WR continues on an out or dig route. Thanks for the video!
Earned a sub here, hope you keep this series going
Excellent discussion. I played 4 years of Offensive Line in college. 40+ years ago. Defensive Tackle in High School. Haven’t been involved with football other than as a fan sense. Never really had to understand passing concepts before. Being a Veer offensive, we had some sweet run blocking schemes. Pass blocking was simple & rules based back then. We made the blocking calls on the line. Usually it was the Guards’ responsibility. Tom, George, Under, Man, Hook, Backside & scads of misleading words - in English, Spanish & foul language. Blocking has changed dramatically. And the passing game has changed almost exponentially. The West Coast & Air Raid offenses changed everything. Thank you for your explanations. Very helpful! New Subscriber.
Can you make more of these. Dude you’re so good at breaking things down. Offensive concepts would be nice and it doesn’t matter which ones i just know that they’re a whole lot more football concepts than just the ones you posted. Keep em coming!!
More are out now! Go give them a look!
Hey just subscribed loved the video man keep this up
Awesome content! Love it!
awesome stuff man love learning more
Great video man!
Nice job my dude. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯
Hey Grant, first off all I love the way you're able to break down video, concepts, routes, etc. I sub'd last week and glad I did. You should think about coaching. Getting these young ones off their tablets and giving them an experienced person as you are...
I am currently testing the waters and seeing what options are out there. Personally, I would love to coach but it’s a hard field to get into. Thanks for subscribing by the way!
@Grant Hagaman Getting in to coaching is almost always knowing someone so I'd first look at someone you already know, like an old coach, etc. Start wherever you can like a travel team, JV RB coach, anywhere or ask a successful coach how they did it. Most of the time we don't know where we excel as individuals because things that come easy to us, we think are easy to everyone. Well, you had the smarts & determination to start a channel, excellently break down video, knows mechanics, fundamentals & concepts of the game and seems to have fun with the game. These are all things needed to be a successful coach and these don't come easy to everyone. Best of luck whatever you choose and remember you're young enough to start small and slowly build your name
@@seandavey6049 thanks for the advance. But yah currently I am in talks with a couple coaches I know just trying to get an opportunity. Hopefully something shakes out.
Nice! My football IQ just went up! thanks for the informative video.
Just watched your channel for the 1st time ...great stuff ...hope your still working this
Awesome video man!
Football player in Paraguay, Love the content, keep it going! And Thanks
Really hope you keep this series up.
I did! Go check the new videos!
Series is going strong! Give it a look. Couple new videos are out now!
Good stuff. Thanks for making this. Are you going to make an episode on Run Concepts? I'd love to see one on offensive line play too since that's arguably the most important unit on the field.
Not one.. but TWO run concepts Football 101 videos are out NOW! Go check em out. Thanks for watching
@@ChalkTalkFootball Perfect. I just watched them. I played SS/LB in HS/College, so I never understood OL play. I like how you used "Ghost Action" to block the backside end w/the strong side WR. You could give it to that WR (hopefully he's fast) on a reverse occasionally which would keep the D on their heels. You can then run boot PA off that too. Now, you can attack most of the field based off one play and everything starts out the same so the D doesn't know what you're doing.
Super great content!!
Naww man you should definitely make a video how to read film. Break down each step brodie, love the content💪🏾
Sub to first down training. He has some QB quiz videos where he gives you the concept/routes, asks you to identify the coverage, and then asks which defender you should be reading
I’ve found my football home for learning 💪🏾😎
I’m new to your channel, but I really enjoyed this video. I’m curious if you haven’t done one already, what the QB progression would be. I’ve always wondered about the process of the QB progression to see which route is the most open or how they decide to check down. Thanks.
HOW TO STUDY FILM would be KEY! Oh my God, what a crucial video that could be if you made that!!!
That’s a difficult video. The problem is that it’s a different video for every time you watch film and who is watching. An offensive coach looks at film completely different than a defensive. A WR coach looks at film different than at RB coach. A coach looks at film different than a player. A QB looks at film different than an OL. Watching film is done for the purpose of understanding. If you know what you want to understand, then you can watch film. Just go in with a question and try to find an answer. Watching film is as simple as turning it on. Just watch. You will learn by simply watching. Just start simple with I want to know how player X is used and then watch every single play of a game of player X. You will learn. Your goal could even be “can I find on film what I learned in this video?”. Watch a game and keep track of what you found. Go in with a question/a goal and and see what you can learn. That’s film at its core. It is a library of material for study. What you study is up to you. Good luck!
Great video fr fr
Would love to see a video on how you break down film from an offensive and defensive perspective
I love this idea
This is a great video only thing I was taught differently was that the concept you called scissors I was taught as Razor. Just a different in name but same concept.
please do a video on what concepts works best against 2 High and Single High Safeties.. please
I just responded to your comment with this same question on my Mahomes video! Go check that out for some clarity. Thanks for watching!
Just watched and added on Twitter. Thx!
Thanks for the watch. Hope to see you around
I know I’m a little late to the party but the man on thumbnail is Joe Gibbs. You put him there because he created the trips formation. As a lifelong Skins/Commanders fan, thanks for paying homage to our legendary coach!
Thanks ft this video, bro
I’d love to see you take a look at the defensive side of the ball I feel like alot of people don’t understand why defenses work the way they do
Good stuff. I love the game but I never played so I’ve never seen a playbook and most sports shows typically only talk about concepts on an extremely basic level.
Great Video!!
Enjoyed it
Nice video. Looks like you've studied a little Bill Walsh. Can I ask if the bunch and trips would be one of the same?
I'm 45 years old, played football in high school and none of this was explained to me. It's making more sense now
Thank you so much
🔥🔥🔥
Matt was using the west coast playbook from Madden
I am from China and I love football very much, I have a basic understanding of the rules of football and I can probably watch the game. Your Football 101 instructional video gave a clear and basic explanation of how football works, thank you for creating such a great video.🥰
Thanks for the watch and kind words! Always feel free to ask questions. Any fan of the sport is a good fan. Welcome to the greatest sport in the world
God bless you! This was so helpful.
elite vid
Please bring these back!!!
They are back NOW!
Ok Grant, for my question. Let's say I have my O-Line strong to the left and have Trips right. Can anyone of those Trips lineup on the line making 7? Or does it have to be the Slot or the Edge WR? Thanks
So for Trips, usually the receiver who is closest to the formation out of the three is the one who is on the LOS. Technically though, anyone of the three could be. But remember, only one of them can line up on the LOS cause you can only have one player on the line on each side of the OLine. Hope this helps
Can we please get this to Matt Canada?
Too advanced for him
what program are using to write up ypur plays
Yo what's up Grant. What is your absolute favorite passing formation if you had to stay in one for the entire football game? I know thats not realistic but just a fun question. And what is your favorite passing concept?
If we are going straight up passing, no run at all. I am going for 3x2 Mesh. A lot of fun variations for man and zone. I hope this answers!
@@ChalkTalkFootball I'm just seeing your response. Yeah mesh is definitely a tough concept. Thank you bro.
Need to see all 21 to get an understanding of a lot of this
what software you use to diagram your concepts?
Can you explain about the uneligible man penalty in the 16 week Lions vs Dallas. The play was good or not?
I'm looking for a video that includes Passing concepts by name. IE Mills, Yankee, China, etc.... I don't want to do a video myself lol. Like in your Smash "Concept, the 2 in routes are called China.
I laughed so hard when you said "no more, no meth"
Might want to get this to New England so they can get a running game going off of it think it would help
Decent vid, some info is a little off/basic. Definitely wouldn’t mentioned field/boundary alignments and FSL formations. Like 3x1 to the field vs 3x1 to the boundary (FSL)
👍👍👍
I'm so old I remember the position of Split End.
That’s still here… more rare, but here
So does 7 people have to be on the line at all times? Like can you have 6? I know you can't have more than 7 but can you have less or is that a penalty
Thought it was strong left trips right 31
You can line up with no eligible players on one side...you just have to have two eligible players on the line of scrimmage on the other side two make sure there are 7 men on the LOS. AND understand that the closest eligible player to the football, who is on the LOS is no longer eligible. It is a way to mess with defenses but gives the offense no passing advantage to that side, eliminates any pass plays to the weak side that don't cross the center/QB from the strong side. It does give the Offense an advantage in helmets to the strong side in the run game because, other than when playing elite athletes on Defense, they have a hard time adjusting to a quad formation with a four or possibly a five man surface on that side of the ball.
would tight ends be considered Y receivers?
Ultimately, the letters do not matter. Every coach will have different letters for the same positions. With that being said though, Tight End can somewhat consistently be found noted as a Y.
I've been watching football for many years, didn't know 7 guys had to be on the line of scrimmage.
You would be shocked at how many people have no idea. Don’t feel bad. Most people only learn the basic rules and concepts. If you want to keep learning, join me and watch along!
TEs are considered pass catchers. so that would be considered “Shotgun 3x2, Empty Right”
I like your video but it's confusing that you always use an option route to indicate a curl
Send this to Pete Charmicle
I have so many questions Im going insane
Feel free to ask! I will answer every single one!
I'm curious, what questions?
@@ChalkTalkFootball I have a question. Would you happen to know what passing concepts from the 1970s NFL looked like? I've seen West Coast and Air Coryelle concepts but I've always wondered what passing plays from the 70s looked like.
@@Wolf_3125 Look up the Wing-T Formation. The 70s Chiefs ran this heavily among others. Of course just like todays NFL, every offense is unique so theres no one size fits all answer to this question, but this is a good place to start.
@@ChalkTalkFootball Ok thanks
Please send this to the NY Jets. Hackett can't hack it!
I don't know football and used to think that it's 99% dependent on physical abilities. Maybe it's not true.
I’m about to go 2015 Denver broncos on the cpu 😂
So, the QB reads its a zone coverage and decides to use the concept of flood. I assume the defense knows that this could happen, so what they usually do to counter that?
No the QB does not read it and then use the flood concept, the playmaker is chosen before the play happens. Usually the offensive coordinator will notice a pattern of zone coverage being called over and over and so he will call Flood. The defense then might switch to a different coverage or man coverage. The QB can call audibles and switch the play but usually it's a single change. The QB does not usually change whole passing concepts. The passing concept is what play is called by the offensive playcaller which is either the Offensive Coordinator or the Head coach. Hope this helps!
@@ChalkTalkFootball thanks for the answer. Being new to the NFL I have a difficult time understanding the relation between the head coach, offensive coordinator and the QB. But now it makes sense to me why the OC is watching the game from above with his crew. When the QB is watching the tablet on the bench is something that the OC wants to show him?
@@gabrieldrg7814 Yes. He is rewatching the past drive learning and trying to find patterns to exploit. Thanks for the comments!
Define your terms. I don’t know what a trip is.
Watch the video. I define the term. Watch before you comment. 3:00 minute mark
Isn’t the 3x1 Smash concept more commonly known as “China”?
Yes, that is correct
Some constructive criticism: Cut everything before 1:29.
Technically when you go over the “3x1” at 4:17, it’s 3x2 because of the TE. (I see how it is easily missed but please for future videos become more knowledgeable of football in general. It would be called 0-1 personnel since 0 running backs and 1 tight end. If you go 5 wide it would be considered 00 personnel. Great video but many important points you missed or overlooked
Smash is a concept not a route. Sorry coach. Corner hitch is the traditional Smash concept
That was swell. You lost your patience momentarily 😂 explaining that 2x3 dont exist. Proof of your coaching credentials to crackdown on rookie mistakes
Stick- from inside out. Chute (flat route) Hitch Post
Good stuff. I love the game but I never played so I’ve never seen a playbook and most sports shows typically only talk about concepts on an extremely basic level.
