[SuperLilfreshboy]

Thumbs if you didnt look at the words on the screen at 1:40-1:41 and you thought he said what hoe to read.

[DRzFinest1000]

[mookiekillz420]

@DRzFinest1000 it depends but yea just try to loose that chubbyness it will only benefit u

[xxnukezxx]

@DRzFinest1000 maybe power back or fullback.

[mtgroce2016]

evens are on the right odds are on the left

[Blazingzcrew]

This is all wrong im a high school student i know more than u do smh.

[madduxsolomon31]

I wouldn't consider it bad as I'm 12 my 40 is 5.30. I believe if it's over 6.30 then yeah u need to work on your speed

[RedTigerBassFishing]

now im a white running back <-- hopfully if i make it and im 13 and i play for belleville cougars varsity and i run 5.94 in our 40 is that bad????????? please answer

[Msuperballerj]

@greenraider28 no did U eat a bowl of stupid for breakfast. Breakfast is spelled with an a not an I

[Wigle972327]

So im gonna be a grade 9 this year im only 5 feet tall iv been playing football for 2 seasons and iv played corneback but my dream was to always play halfback i wanna try out for hb but im to small :(

[snipeseye301]

@Wigle972327 im not much taller than you and i play halfback. my coach likes me at halfback cuz i have speed, i can block, and i can take hits. it doesnt matter if your short or not just show your coaches what you can do at that position. look at that smith guy that plays for Pennstate.. hes like 5 foot. Just dont let height be a factor of what you can or cant do. :)

[dghana5]

@bushsucks1985 if you are fast and powerful u should play on the left side it gets a lot of action but on offense u should play running back

[614LiLAce]

this nigga stupid i start running back for da raiders in columbus and i dnt kno where yu from but the even numbers is on right side odd numbers on da left dude slow and hands on knees is wrong should be on thighs

[xxzintalaxx]

this guy is a twig

[TheDrichardson1]

[sippaholic713]

sumone delete this mutherfuckers account

[605960591]

@sippaholic713 hahahaaaaaa

[touchitflow]

isnt it left odd right even with the holes

[greenraider28]

did u eat a bowl of stupid for breakfist??? lol.. im juss fucking witt ya.. its opposite

[MrJimbobmcgee]

It's funny how they don't define if this is for a halfback or fullback...

[XxTaaDIVINExX]

To play running back, you must:

Run a 4.4 40 yard dash, squat 400 lbs, and make sure you're black.

No, I'm just pissed because I've been cheated my whole high school career. I never got the chance I think I truly deserved. I did everything the coaches asked me on the defensive side, but everytime I asked to try to play Running back, they said no.

[proskateronnie]

CTRL + W skips ads.

[theprettyboyalvarez1]

@bkym yea he needs to get educated fast beacuse i play RB for my school

[seanboyize]

I don't really care my friend said it helped him but I think its good for people who are just learning to play football

[chanonthaiboxer]

noo wat the fuck evens go on the right odd goes to the left i play running back

[mightyapache62]

haha he is not very smart at all all the evens go to da right nd all the odds to da left cuz we run 32iso to the right not left dat would b 33iso to the left

[7698054]

i played rb got rookie of the year my first year 12 touchdowns n 688 yards in 4 games , the year after i got offensive player of the year, u just tought ppl the complete wrong stuff about a RB lol poor RB's who listen to u, and even numbers on the right and odd on the left btw

[HolaImSkiitzy]

nigga needs a gym.

[dimant]

ITS TYRONE!!!

[aircraft787]

First of all, I've only been in football for a few months and I know more than this guy. even numbers on the right, odds on left! Jeez!

[CRUNKBOY9100]

my first time to play rb in a game was yesterday im in 8th grade on the third play i did i ran a 50yrd td

[MrMrTrader]

what

[dizzyyy51]

the holes are oposite, evens on left and odds on right .

[rfsgfsdgfdg]

@dizzyyy51 no sir its the other way around actually

[ludacrisbig]

Your question: I am 5'11'' and 170 lbs. I am a sophomore in high school and run my forty in 4.74. My vertical is 36 inches and i bench press 195 lbs and squat 405 lbs and leg press 755 lbs. What football position is best for me?

[Anthony31323]

@ludacrisbig Safety or Corner would be a good position for you, right now you lack top end speed for a wideout but if you can improve on that, I mean you're only a sophmore so you can only go up from where you are now, possible you'd be a good wideout. But nasty safety.

[legend1617]

@Anthony31323 yo Anthony got a quick question bro I have a little bit of doubt I will be able to make it into college ball because I may have to have back surgery depending on how bad my back is due to scoliosis.I can't really tell you my stats since atm I don't have access to a gym just self training and working out alone.I am 19 6 foot 5 230 pounds and in a few years if UWF has a stadium built I am going to try out for the new University college team.Which position should I try?

[legend1617]

@Anthony31323 I use to play a tight end a long time ago but I am thinking of running back.Do wide receiver drills also to increase speed.There are plenty of positions I would want to play I have ADHD so I can't wait to get the hell out there and run people over even defense to go after the QB except I will probably get into trouble playing that position because I will hit the QB hard everytime I get the chance to.I think my cuts and speed would also be useful on defense.

[Anthony31323]

@legend1617 I have ADHD too so I understand how you feel haha. Well at 6'5 230 you have many different options. Ideal positions based alone on your stature would be, QB, WR, TE (***you would do really well if you add 10 lbs.), DE, LB***, although you could also play some running back as well. My 3 favorites for you are Quarterback, Tight End/Wide Reciever, and Linebacker. Matt Ryan/JaMarcus Russel fit your height at QB. Tony Gonzalez/Plaxico Burress at TE/WR, and Brian Urlacher at Linebacker.

[legend1617]

@Anthony31323 Thanks a lot man appreciate it!I think I am going to stay away from the QB position to me it doesn't interest me that much sorry to say but actually boring even though they are noticed more Idc if I play 110 percent every game if I can make it I will get noticed.So for TE and WR it would be best if I was to add another 10 pounds of muscle right?I think most linebackers are 275+ of mostly muscle and I never want to get that big again tbh.WR seems like it would be a lot of fun.

[rfsgfsdgfdg]

@ludacrisbig LB i play LB and ffullback and some times wing i run a 4.6 weigh 170, squat 405, bench 270, power clean 245, leg press 650, and curl 135. line backer good for u cause of ur lower body strength and also consider full back

[slimnskinny]

@rfsgfsdgfdg I think it goes either way just go what ur coaches tell u :D

[TheDinkieWinkie65]

@Monkftw00t or whatever your name is that was funny lol! :)

[monkftw00t]

demn.. hes skinny what position he play?

goalpost :o?? lolo just kidding u r cool :D

[mountainbika91023]

this was great for beginers except for how he explained the holes people need to explain the part that the 23 the first number tells which back its for and the second number is for which hole it is in

[ManiacThrashing]

This is handegg, not football.

[blockboyz147]

i thought even numbers were on the right side and odd numbers were on the left side

[BBoyMerciless]

EYESHIELD 21!

[megaman3241]

@BBoyMerciless yea i could to the twist thingy like sena

[654321monster]

He's stupid odds on the left evens on the right

[ces38847]

wow this video has helped me become a better college running back!

[inferno350z]

This guy was payed by expert village to act like he knew what he was talking about, all they did was reasearch a little bit about how to stand. He just memorized a script, rehearsed it a couple times, then acted it out. Thats all he is an actor.

[Brendan2080]

Ive never heard of a running back using a 3 point stance..?

[wicknick23]

@Brendan2080 When Shaun Alexander played for the Seattle Seahawks in certain formations he would be in a 3 point. 

[Ecnfl]

I want to tryout for TE or RB next year in HS but i was a linemen for my jr high and I'm about 170 lb 5" 8 1/2. What should I do to get my legs in shape? Ik it's a lot of change but i will rake any advice

[Brendan2080]

@Ecnfl I say running back is in you if you want to play it.

[gehrett123]

@Ecnfl do some squats and run.

[prettyboy0909]

wow hes not the best athelete ever lol. but i bet hes a good athletic trainer.

[sy237]

im gonna try out for football next year in highschool and itll be my first year. im not a big guy im scrawny and i guess im tall but anyway what position should i be i alway thought i could be wr or cb though but im just wondering

[davvv3111]

how many runnign backs are on the field at a time??? please respind back. and i mean on one team not both combined

[aivjo]

i think just one

[waynebradybitch12]

@davvv3111 it depends on the offences formation. there are many formations but the main ones used only involve one HB (a faster runningback), and one FB (a stronger runningback). the FB usually blocks a linebacker for the HB to find a hole and blast through. just play madden a lot lol.

[TommyN304843]

i think theres two halfback and fullback?

[Mr3Smileyy]

@davvv3111 one

[TheGuyWithTheCortez]

his stance is wrong when i first tried out for a football team my coach yelled at me for puting my hands on my knees lol

[PowerOfVince]

Actually you can put your hands on your knees

[TheGuyWithTheCortez]

WAT!? then y did my coach yell at me!? dumbass coach>:(

[waynebradybitch12]

@PowerOfVince depends on the position , the stance is different for each different one.

[billyjoet99]

Keep in mind that in the context of a game, a hole is not just going to "open up" where you want it to or where you practiced it opening. Running backs need to be flexible and quick reacting in terms of where the actual hole will develop.

[twisted705]

im in 8th grade im 5'7 and i weigh 165 and i play 2 back and 4 back. and for my team i got the toby gerhart award cuz im fast and its hard to bring me down. and by the way on the right side its 2 hole 4 hole and 6 hole and 8 hole mostly for sweeps and on the left its 1 3 5 7

[Dweezy1994]

im a running back im 5'5 15 yearold and im in 10th grade i weigh 134... my coach says i keep practicing and playin like i do i might make it to the nfl this stuff helped me out a little

[waynebradybitch12]

@Dweezy1994 cuz you gotta get your weight up if youre in grade 10 and only weigh 134. the grade 10 RB's in my school both weigh 180. get on that creatine lol

[imcoolerthnu]

ye u gotaa be big inorder to be on a football team suks for me

[Hilton205]

nooo u don't ...well kinda ..but look up i think the smallest football player was like 5.4 tall ! ...

[imcoolerthnu]

well the small but i ment weight

[myersnall]

hey there is allso 9 hole on a double tight form thingy or you could call it a sweep?

my coach calls a 9 toss sweep w/e....

I think he has messed every vid i have seen him in. so its nothing new hes dundermuf

[ningarune]

umm i play rb and the holes are 7 5 3 1 2 4 6 8

[showoff779]

ya i know wtf is up with him

[bkym26]

This ifo is all worng.I am a RB coach and first off.the holes are even numbers on the right.odd to the left second the 2 point stance should be hands on top of thighs to see defense.....Mr Sinclaire please dont post anymore info about football until you get educated

[tylerhisao]

@bkym26 can you make videos?

[SMFJ26]

@bkym26 sorry you don't even spell right why should i listen to you?

[ComboBoy12]

@bkym26 your a runningback coach and you dont even know how to spell wrong that says alot

[oakR8ter14]

@bkym26 shut the fuck up..we know this guy sucks...and your probably one of the worst coaches on the damn team..dick sucker

[xTRxMcGrath21]

@bkym26 The numbering of wholes depends on the team....

[jmellef]

@bkym26 I played running back and I was in a three point stance. I never saw the defense and we were #5 in Wisconsin and 30th in the country. Every team is different in what style it runs. Run the offense you run and let him teach what offense he teaches.

[Charlotte32warr]

@bkym26 i am not a coach but noone cares about WHERE ur hands should be my hands are always on knees i can see anyway moron that s why we have a QB ok who cares about what number the wholes are every year the wholes are different

[maliplex9]

@Charlotte32warr we care about where the holes are so we can have good communication with the coach when he calls plays, also old school coaches will tell you off if you go to the wrong hols or even have your hands on your knees because it shows that you're either not prepared to get the ball

[maliplex9]

@Charlotte32warr your hands need to be on your thighs because old school coaches would tell you off if your hands aren't on your thighs. also one needs to know the right numbers of the holes to have good communication with his coach when calling plays, right?

[Charlotte32warr]

@maliplex9 i rely dont think it matterz WHERE your hands are but i get confused cuz of the holes changin all the time but i think if u have the same hole numbers every year it would help

[maliplex9]

@bkym26 i jnew something was off with what he was saying!

[digitalsickness4]

@bkym26 that's exactly what i was thinking

[bushsucks1985]

@bkym26 hey if your a coach i need help what postion would i play im 13 160lbs and im pretty fast and im very powerful what postion should i play? (offense hopfully or MLB LOLB or ROLB)

[cagefighterish]

@bkym26 i play runningback for my highschool everything ur saying is completely true but we run a different kind of offense we run the pistol offense (if u dont know what kind of offense that is look at the University of Nevada wolf pack football) So its like a spread out offense im not in a 2 point stance even tho i wish i was im in a 3 pint stance which is really retarded cuz in a 2 point stance i can look at the defense and react quicker but i have to listen to my coaches

[GETREALNoobZ]

@bkym26 i love you everything you said in that comment was perfect

[gamingandballin]

@bkym26 thank god I was confused

[lilgucciTV]

man i wish i was under 155 to play running back for my team .....its in my blood my dad played running back in semi pro football and my mom can run like hell......OH AND THE 2 4 6 AND 8 SLOTS ARE ON THE RIGHT 1 3 5 7 ARE ON THE LEFT

[Shark142]

odd numbers on the right even on the left??? DID I HEAR THAT RIGHT IM SURE ITS THE OTHER WAY AROUND??

TEXAS FOOTBALL... TELL ME IF IM WRONG

[waynebradybitch12]

@Shark142 texas football you should know :S

[Shark142]

IF YOUR WERE ACTUALLY new to running back this is good info

[Raverkin]

I play right tackle but i want to play RB im in 7th grade and when i get that ball now one can tack me down

[blackrideryc]

wow lol. just because your big doesnt mean you can run

[teamdg2]

im not trying to dis u but wrong hole

[DerAndi94]

thanks!!

[Anamedashammie]

Well, his 2 point stance is horrid. And poor running backs think they know how to block.

Oline-Real men line up with their hands on the ground

[picbo123]

i play rb to in middle scool the season just stareted

[MrSheen95]

Yeah, I play RB as well, im the fastest in my high school, and this guys technique is spot on. So will everybody please shut the fuck up about him, hes probs a much better RB than all of us.

[waynebradybitch12]

@MrSheen95 hahaha liessss, his technique is horrid. he has no clue what hes talking about and neither do you. good try looking tough on youtube tho.

[punkteeninc2]

we use A B C hole to the left or right

[drudawg911]

some people r very stupid

[xxPutnik]

And where is football in this video???

[nickpresents]

guys get a life.. this guy actuall played for Ohio state.. trust me he knows what hes talking about. yall dont

[spymotox21]

this guy is fucking retarded haha, i know everyone has mentioned the holes, but common bud , if ur gunna make a vid dont be retarded, btw i play rb..

[krymion1]

he would get owned at running back

[trud54]

no he wouldnt

[wowkid0330]

did he mention the holes on our side or his side?

[5wwms5]

holes were wrong right side 2,4,6,8 and left side,3,5,7,9

[dontworryiwillsmacku]

your right

[footballfiend01]

Correct sir.

[aaronking32]

that depeneds on the strong side( at least with my teams offense) we have evens on the weak side and odds on the strong side

[JediMasta117]

the numbers for the holes depend on how the coach does it. For my team the holes are even toward the strong side and odd to the weak side

[14MOchoa]

He got his 3 hole on the wrong side

[uzbekboy80]

its no again

[murphdirty6]

he dont even know his holes

[kanatd]

this game is not a football...because in football u must play with ur foot and a ball,but in this game ur playing with ur hands and a leather egg...therefore this game must be called HANDEGG!!!

[lammaslovemiles]

im so confused

[nyzgoon]

dude i learned all this shit at camp

[rsvideos2021]

You wasted some money

[DaWoOdPrInCe]

I got some speed and elusiveness...but i am very hard to tackle...i've survived 10 tackle physical attempts by the hugest guys..like 250lbers. so with my speed and evrything..its easy. one of the easiest pos to play.

[JMD27STL]

saftey is just watch the q no how 2 back peddle and no how to jump im only 5'11 and can get picks over dudes

[TimeDefeater]

don't rest your hands on your knee's it slows you down!

[flash2762]

are even numbers are on the right

[predator2531]

u said the holes backwards 1 3 5 is on da left 2 4 6 is on da right

[stanlymanly2]

he numbered them from his perspective...

[Djdmc]

yea u real left to right u real 7 5 3 1 2 4 6 8

[S0ccer0wnage]

Nawh it differs with your formation

I played the 2 man cuz we ran the T formation

[DiStUrBeDHuSk3r]

and umm...2back is the full back..so a 23 dive would be a full back dive...3 is the RB

[brasildiogo93]

umm. no not every team runs it like that my school runs the wing t offense and the 30s is the fullback, the 20s is running back, and we even use 40s for the wingback....

[Djdmc]

yo i had 30 numba 30

[vinnytheman19]

1 3 5 holes are on the left side and 2 4 6 are on the right side he said them backwards

[elitegamer09]

ur ausome the other guys are homos

[lbfamguy]

dude so wat he made a mistake i feel bad for him because hes only human, he takes time out of his day to come out and try to teach people how to play running back,im guessing stiggs34 has NEVER made a mitake thank you for your time otis

[Confidentiallity]

THIS GUY IS A PENIS!

=D

[saphrin02]

shut up hes cool :]

[stiggs34]

R u Serious???? this is an expert?? the holes are backwards and he said there were 4 things you need to know but then listed off 5. And never put your hands on your knees, coaches will chew your ass off for crap like that! I feel dumber after watching otis. thanks for the "helpful" hint im off to score a touchdown. HAHAHA lame

[lbfamguy]

shut ur ass up i bet u play 3rd sring punter

dumbass

[jsmith197510]

wow, do u feel like a badass because your bashin a youtube video. coaches dont chew your ass off for putting your hands on your knees, they just discourage it. and wow, he listed 4 and names 5, holy shit hell froze over. ur an idiot, and deserve to be fucked by a barbwire dildo

[stiggs34]

wow you guys are taking this way to seriously, its a youtube video. i was jst having some fun. im sorry if my comment hurt ur guys feelings. and jst incase you wer wondering i played running back/kick returner/ strong safty but its alright u can feel better about your self thinking i was a punter:)

[IndigoHazingFlame]

ok bud, this guys does make some small mistakes but thats beside the point...i've played running back, fullback, quarterback, defensive end, right outer linebacker, and strong safety...and he's done a pretty good job besides those mistakes, plus its okay for you too put your hands on your knees..coaches don't like it cuz that think it throws off your window scheme, the prefer you let them hang down at your knees or (if your school does this) set up in a three-point stance.

[cobadude]

barbwire dildo!!!hahahaha,but stiggs34,you're an asshole,you're gonna make fun of a guy who is teaching you and names but says 5,whoopdy fuckin doo,so get a life and stop bashin people in youtube videos for them teachin you a sport you prolly suck dick at

[Oldcartoons571]

Ive seen people do that a lot.

[lukephill93z]

1 hole is on the left

[lildewey15]

same here

[sportsnut82]

the way i learned was the even numbers were on the right and odd on th left
