[daprosheshunal]

[jdsutton47]

GREAT VIDEO; FROM "A-GAME SPORTS DRINK" HAPPY HOLIDAYS

[IEatYourPig]

haha sick celly

[FarSightGaming]

THATS WHY I NEVER CATCH IT! my hands are flat

[AznJokerZx0]

[zionjabari2901]

this guy VINCET JACKSON IS MY UNCLE

[diverwido]

@zionjabari2901 jajajajajaja makes me laugh!

[RollThatShxt14]

which gloves are those????????????????

[TheMacNazi]

@football0909ify yes you need to be decently fast but theres nothing a trackseason of sprinting practices and meets won't fix

[RealKungFuYinAndYang]

@TheMacNazi lmfao yeah thats true, I used to be slow, but now I got faster, even my friend used to be hella slow, but now he can run, he got speed, agility. I am a Tight End, I got hands, i can say that,and i got speed, and i got strength, i am 5'10, weigh, 200, 11th grade Jr,

[GlamorousAntho]

@chefawkes you're a dumbass.

[timothyjosephkemble]

@SgtBlargThe6th or just not be a pussy and buy gloves with no padding

[chefawkes]

@vonztr

lols this fool wins for gayest comment

[MsShellshock22]

@chefawkes how exactly is this gay? this is true

[TheCSWAGGS]

This is my first year as a receiver in football I'm used to playing running back and can't seem to get it while wearing my helmet. This sounds wierd but my helmet has to front prongs and it distorts my vision I'm used to handoff's and short pitches but I cant seem to get it down on a regular basis anyone else have this prob if so plz let me know.

[swooshy117]

@TheCSWAGGS it actually takes practice, ur gonna hear this 5 thousand times but cathing the ball is like a second nature. u have to be able to make catches by instinct. its also about timing, knowing when to get to the ball

[TheCSWAGGS]

@swooshy117 thanks I appreciate it and today I caught an interception and ran it back for a touch-down so I'm pretty proud of myself.

[swooshy117]

@TheCSWAGGS no problem, i was a wide receiver until i got a hand injury on my dominent hand so now its harder for me to catch but glad i could help

[TheMrSmilie]

@peaveyperson true that

[peaveyperson]

@football0909ify I don't matter how fast u are or how well u catch. If u run clean sharp routes you'll get open

[AvenueEmpire]

Just wondering if Gloves are acually worth it, I play Tight End. And every know and again those short throws just bounce right back. Do gloves Help?

[overdrive360]

@AvenueEmpire YES

[football0909ify]

look i really want to be a WR do u need speed ? cause i have the hands but im slow

[mikey16lol]

@football0909ify All you need is the heart man. You work hard coaches will realize that you have potential then.

[DeaDCorE45]

I'm actually a rookie, I really want to be a receiver but I have some problems catching the football, my coach says I should put my thumbs together but I still have some issues, any good tips?

[KevinMusic86]

@DeaDCorE45 do another sport man..

[BlackMomba24fly]

i cant catch with the diamond any tips?

[intfor18]

@BlackMomba24fly Let the ball come to you and don't use your chest to catch it. Iv'e played wide-out for 4 years, and I had the same problem. If you look it in and trust yourself you'll get it eventually.

[ted134255905]

what if your color blind....

[delany61]

how stupid do you have to been to look up how to catch a ball

[zethist]

@delany61 obviously as stupid as you because your watching it...

[delany61]

@zethist no motherfucker try it was it was on a diffrent video and i clicked it to see what it was hey bitch when you can catch 28/30 pass and get 3 td a game you can talk shit go fuck or self loser

[zethist]

@delany61 don't rage kid now get out your closet and get some sun bitch

[delany61]

@zethist and this has something to do with football why

[DeaDCorE45]

@delany61 you tell me! xD you're watching the video right? at least in my case i needed some good tips :)

[delany61]

@DeaDCorE45 how hard is it really one hand to stop the ball other to hold it then tuck it in REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[graveyard090]

@delany61 i fucked your mom in the ass last night

[delany61]

@graveyard090 wow you must be a badass to a grave yard as or name and must suck dick at football to

[graveyard090]

@delany61 nah i just fucked your mom

[delany61]

@graveyard090 Relly i put a penny in or moms asshole so the bitch will not complain bout not geting payed

[graveyard090]

@delany61 your mom kept screaming when i was pounding her pussy, so i pulled it out and shoved it down her throat

[delany61]

@graveyard090 i doubt you have or will ever get pussey and i doubt you'll get it from my 55 year old mother freak

[graveyard090]

@delany61 i already did, i told you i pounded your moms pussy

[delany61]

@graveyard090 you fuck 50 year olds or a nasty fuck you know that

[vietpi]

The short version for this: CATCH WITH YOUR FINGER

[bccnp1]

Check out "Route Tree session with trainer Gari Scott" on youtube and see the work of Panthers Armanti Edwards and Cam Newton throwing.

[StaffChih]

[ryantice81]

[xMIDMADx]

[DracoX9]

Oh shit this guy has my number! Or I have his number... haha

[gracro22]

Good stuff

[altimateprime1]

this is great for me im 13 playing slot reciver in optimus

[triggahappyups4]

wats ur guys opinion on gloves & if gloves actually are a big part when it comes to catching the ball?

[s4perl]

This is some good shit!

[ogmoney123]

Seems like alot of ppl dont like MR. Pooky hmmm i dont even like him just reading his comments......when it all comes down to it..POOKY , american FOOTBALL is way better we're better protected and get payed waaayy more than rugby,and you say we're stupid...pshhh!

[mannalex111]

@ogmoney123 I've played rugby. It's actually a lot more fun than American Football. But still doesn't compare to Australian Football... Now that... Is some good stuff.

[bubbly747]

Im a bears fan, but I dont see how the chargers didnt even make playoffs..

[kbotpop]

@bubbly747 cuz V-Jax was greedy and hold out 10 weeks of the seasons

[bubbly747]

@kbotpop oh

[Chessmapling]

wow extremely helpful video!!!! i never actually knew u were supposed to keep space between ur palm and the ball lol...explains a lot of the passes i dropped :P

[savethecheese951]

Wow this conversation is pathetic..... Fighting like babies in public? Haha wow. Both of u guys grow up and fight somewhere else. Feel bad for the owner of this vid cause he gets a message everytime u babies act like a 5 years old.

[dezdoacover]

Guys . . . Follow the video, it works

[ttgsean]

i just said 80-89 you illiterate faggot

[Mario10053]

@MrPooky9 Uhh... you must have been hit pretty "soft" playing with no gear to be that retarded

[MatskuDaa]

83 isn't a WR number?

[ttgsean]

@MatskuDaa are you dumb? receivers are mostly in the 80's

[MatskuDaa]

@ttgsean 81 is 82 is 84 is. 83 isn't

[ttgsean]

@MatskuDaa thats why wes welker is number 83 right? dumb fuck 80-89 is all receiver numbers

[tsweitz]

@ttgsean you're all wrong, 10-19 and 80-89..

[mannalex111]

@ttgsean Not to many. The Cardinals only have 1 receiver wearing an 80 jersey.

[vonztr]

To me football is about having your bros back. Not how tough you are or how amazing you are. Football is a team sport not an individual. To all my boys at Strafford High

[MrPooky9]

American pussys. English play rugby which is very similar, and we dont dress up like we are about to wrestle a lion, all that gear, is for pussys

[TheChoppaBoiz]

@MrPooky9 gtf u guys r all ugly

[cswinson1]

@MrPooky9 the english have an american football league too. we have a lot of rugby players that play. stop being a dick. rugby isnt similar so stop being so ignorant, arrogant and opinionated. ive played both and they are different, and have you noticed how a lot of rugby players have started using small shoulder pads and skull caps? they used to use those in football but too many people died. suck a cock mate.

[MrPooky9]

@cswinson1 Erm.....its actually very similar, catching the same shape ball, running, trys and touchdowns are the same. Im 13, im 5 foot3 and i take down players twice my size i wear no protection at all. not even a gum guard.

[AndEyesRBloodShot]

@MrPooky9 not wearing a gum guard doesn't make you tough, just incredibly stupid.

You deserve to have your front teeth knocked out just to teach you a lesson. Both Rugby AND American Football are rough sports. The reason why American Footballers wear padding is because they would probably get knocked into comas if they didnt from all the hits they take.

Stop playing the tough guy on the internet, you're 13 ffs. Oh, and I highly doubt you can actually take out a player twice your size. hahah

[MrPooky9]

@AndEyesRBloodShot I wear no gum guard because it impairs your speech. And yes, i really can take downplayers way bigger than myself.

[cswinson1]

@MrPooky9 and the reason you can take bigger guys down is because you are travelling at a slow speed and hug them to the floor. not running full speed into each other

[eyram89]

@MrPooky9 Why the fuck you lieing matter fact your 13 5,3 THAT IS NOT BIG At all matter fact you are small AF For your age and you can calm all that shit down like ur from england where yall drink tea instead of Cracking an egg for some protien

[MrPooky9]

@eyram89 fucking retard. When did i say i was tall? I was implying that i was small.

But you probably don't understand that sentence because you are a dumb american shit hole.

[eyram89]

@MrPooky9 Okayyyyyyyyyyy you little 12 year old english piece of shit Why dont you go drink and tea with some saltine crackers faggit the only reason why yall dont play with gear is because none of your people are strong Americans are strong actually compared to you English bitches.

[MrPooky9]

@eyram89 Why dont you eat macdonalds you fat american bastard?

Better drinking tea and biscuits that fat american junk shit....

[eyram89]

@MrPooky9 LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Ok you ugly english bitch who the fuck said i was fat you ugly fucks thats why yall breat stay smelling like shit you english faggot

[MrPooky9]

@eyram89 Learn how to spell; at least we english know proper grammar.

[TheMagicBolt]

@MrPooky9 dude... just shut up. I hate MacDonalds, i have an AMerican accent (its pronounced route, not root) but who really gives a shit., i love American Football. Go CHARGERS!

[MrPooky9]

@TheMagicBolt WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ON ABOUT NOW?? FUCK THE AMERICAN FAT BASTARDS

[TheMagicBolt]

@MrPooky9 Why? Why even say FUCK THE AMERICAN BASTARDS? there is no reason to? One, the US is the most powerful country in the world, 2, us Americans have nothing against other countries. The majority of us are not FAT. Get off Youtube, which is made in the US, using American Technology. So its because of Americans, that allow you to argue with Americans for no apparent reason.

[MrPooky9]

@TheMagicBolt It's actually ' we american's' not 'us american's'

[TheMagicBolt]

@MrPooky9 really? come on. So you hate american's because i used the object form instead of the subject form on a website where you post videos? This is a fucking comment section on Youtube, not grammar school. It was obvious what i was trying to say, yeah, if this was some formal essay, i would of used the subject form. It's not, so get over your use of grammar you dipshit.

[MrPooky9]

@TheMagicBolt WOOOOHHHHHH calm it :L

[mexwrestler125]

@TheMagicBolt 1.china is the most powerful country in the world, 2 you actually do have problems with other countries, and most ppl here are fat

[TheMagicBolt]

@mexwrestler125 1. No, the majority of sources still hold the US as the most powerful country. 2. The majority of Americans are not obese. Go look at the statistics. I also do not have problems with other countries besides those we are at war with. However i don't bash on someone just because they are from another country. I don't say British people have bad teeth and are all really skinny, just becasue they are from Britiain. People love to bash americans simply because they live in the USA.

[mannalex111]

@eyram89 Not the English guys I've fought hah. These guys are some tough SOB's.

[mannalex111]

@MrPooky9

Oi mate. I'm an American soldier and I've fought beside many of your country men. Each one I've met says that we Americans are some of the brightest guys they know.

[MrPooky9]

@mannalex111 nice, keep up the good work your doing out there

[cswinson1]

@MrPooky9 so you tackle people that are 10 foot 6 do you? if your 13 your not even old enough to play full contact 11 vs 11 american football in the uk. ever wondered why that is? cause you have to sign your life over. i'll say again ive played both sports, they are very different in terms of how people get hit and the forces involved, you have never experienced it. you are naive and ignorant.

[eyram89]

@cswinson1 LMAOOO You know right

[Xgen20o4fan]

@MrPooky9 The fact that you wear no protection at all scares me..All the world needs is another idiot like you...

[pwnfulify]

@MrPooky9 IS A RETARD. WHO THINKS HES TOUGH. i have never heard of some one tough with the name mr. pooky. just sayin. HELLO IM MR. POOKY AND I WILL CRUSH YOU!!! doesnt sound right. what retard.

[MrPooky9]

@pwnfulify  I hope you realise that i'm not called MrPooky9. That's called a 'username'. Dumb fuck.

[Spiderwebb2614]

@MrPooky9 i think u should change ur name to MrPussy9 that fits you perfectly:)

[LisaRabino]

@MrPooky9 are you mentally retarded gum guard? called a mouth piece numbnuts and ya youll get your teeth knocked out and get concusions because thats what it protects and dont talk crap about americans the US will scrape your homosexual country at anything

[elkittys1234]

@MrPooky9  for pussys like u mother fuker our footballers will murder ur assees any tine

[MrPooky9]

@elkittys1234 not sure about that.

[eyram89]

@MrPooky9 Atleast we english know how to smell lmfaoooo You really sound Like a bitch my mans Why Dont you go do some homework 11 year old faggot

[kratoslevit]

@MrPooky9 Im English and I've played rugby and watched my mates play AF. I got a LOT of respect for guys that play AF cos I tell you that shit looks tough man!

The reason rugby players don't wear pads is cos we dont do above the waist tackles, we tackle the fleshy soft legs, often from behind (cheek to cheek tackles). In AF above the waist tackles are legal, I wouldn't like to contact clavicle bone to clavicle bone or skull to skull. That's why they wear pads, cos they have a brain my friend!

[legobuilder73]

Use your fingers and have a QB like Philip Rivers.

[Gproducshizz]

if u jam ur fingers, uuhhh it apparently means that youre catching it wrong. failed. blame yourself :)

[360GamingGuy]

What happens if the football jams my fingers? That fucking hurts. I jammed my finger by doing this and my finger was literally blue or purple for 3 days.

[EdOwnz]

@360GamingGuy It's called using a glove.

[360GamingGuy]

@EdOwnz No shit ay? I didn't have gloves at the time m8.

[KIDxxXTREMExx]

oh yea , well wat if we dont have gloves answer that

[keena302]

Great tutorial......here are a few things that helps me

1. Seek the ball

2. Make your diamonds to let the nose of the ball fit into your grasp

3. follow it in and secure each nose of the ball

[KelliferandLanifer]

@keena302 fuck you

[keena302]

@KelliferandLanifer

Which is why you're probably some complete shit in football.....not coachable.....fuck yourself mane

[KelliferandLanifer]

@keena302 lol

[nuggetboi27]

desean jackson is #1 to me.. making people miss n look dumb.. desean top 10 best recievers in the nfl and hes like 19 lol ok like 22

[nuggetboi27]

desean jackson is #1 to me.. making people miss n look dumb.. desean top 10 best recievers in the nfl and hes like 19 lol ok like 22

[TheKrayzeecidd]

Jerry Rice got good at catching, cuz his father used to unbuild houses or somthing, so wen he thru the bricks down to the ground, jerry rice would catch em, atleast thats what i heard

[Jman16119]

@TheKrayzeecidd Yeah thats a fact.

[Destruction490]

WR gloves really help

[Rowplaya]

anyone know what gloves his wearing?

[igor87ki]

2 ppl play cornerbacks!

[XxSiRwAfFlEsxX]

@igor87ki i play corner and reciverer so fuck u lol

[tooslickandRay23]

@XxSiRwAfFlEsxX lol i do too

[XxSiRwAfFlEsxX]

@tooslickandRay23 lol

[abdoul2minnesota]

I'm the best catcher forever. Just one year to get college and that said the next T.O

[Mr5um41]

@abdoul2minnesota lol, you think you're the best when you can't even think of the word reciever? You're all talk kid. Oh, and if you are going to say you are the next anyone, make sure that they're good. Like if you said "the next Jerry Rice" ok that's cool. But the next T.O.? Ok you will be the next reciever to get less then 20 yards against Reves. Congradulations, that's really something to be proud of.

[abdoul2minnesota]

@Mr5um41 wowow u did get me when i said catcher. so no more talk. And then T.O is the best nfl receiver ;every kno that if u don't that mean u don't kno anything about receivers . he only needs a good team same as Randy Moss...

[Mr5um41]

@abdoul2minnesota Lol, you must be fucking retarded if you think he is one of the best recievers in the NFL. You are a joke, and know nothing about what you're talking about. I'll see you at the local dunkin donuts kid.

[abdoul2minnesota]

@Mr5um41 ok stay in ya ignorant. I'm not the one who gonna change it

[Mr5um41]

@abdoul2minnesota That makes absolutely no fucking sense. "ok stay in ya ignorant." you make me lose faith in the human race...

[nathoni89]

@sickoko12 ok... Then why are you bothering with this video? Sounds like you can catch everything

[RiverCola264]

what ist the name of his gloves?

[barrboy17]

Another handy tip is to catch the ball without gloves every now and then.

Too much reliance on equipment will just hamper your abilities.

[Clizzardbash]

Thumbs up if you think Andre Johnson should have been in this video

[Iamatreee]

@Clizzardbash you scored 0 thumbs up

[whatthefob4191]

@Clizzardbash Andre Johnson should teach how to counter a cornerback jam

[LittleNBigPro]

the WRs on my team need to watch this shit cuz we make pockets for the qb forever.. and he throws good passes and they just drop em..

[furonable]

@LittleNBigPro

Maybe they shouldn't eat Butterfingers

[sickoicko12]

if you cant even catch then you just fucking suck.

[Jordans03]

@sickoicko12

depending upon your position

difference between catching a football, and catching an in game football

[originalgangsterloc]

@sickoicko12

depends on the qb

[Eric23er]

@sickoicko12 there is a first for every thing

[Mr5um41]

@sickoicko12 Lol, so offensive linemen suck? Think before you talk bro.

[slicknicknirvana]

I cant catch with my fingers and I dont wear gloves so i drop everything!

[FSK159]

@slicknicknirvana so you shouldn't play receiver

[TheDueI]

Wont those shotgun passes break fingers?

[thescrogdog]

how to catch a football- get cutters wide receiver gloves

[NiCodaNiKKA]

he makes a nfl football look like a peewee ball

[MLAOTUTK]

If he can catch good how come i have never seen him on espn thumbs up if you agree

[jayonesd]

@MLAOTUTK watch the last probowl afc won because of him...beast against the best db's in the nfc.

[gruhonjic]

@MLAOTUTK If you're in the NFL period, you can catch well.

[lblockerwr]

sOFT fingers is the key guys. not letting the ball touch your palm..... the drill he showed at the end will really help yall a lot.

[12310brandon]

all the kids here so say there 12 and can catch the ball allt he time, just letting you know if there throwing a ball to you from 10 feet away it doesnt make you good if you can catch it.

[itsallaboutdetroit]

HE Really should get a long term contract without him there would be no passing game really cuz then we would only have GATES

[MrEdwinAvila1]

@itsallaboutdetroit aha look at their passing game now

[itsallaboutdetroit]

@MrEdwinAvila1 yea look at it still beast the problem is that the special teams is garbage rivers passing for 400+ yards nd we still losin yea exactly

[lulum92]

I love Vincent Jackson! I just hope that everything works out fine and he comes back to play for San Diego! Go Chargers :)

[archerpur7]

I think the biggest tip someone can give is to believe that you will catch it...it may sound corny but a lot of the time, if u imagine that ur gonna drop it, u will.

[wwekinggany]

@archerpur7 yeah , thats true , thats how u gonna catch the ball , u just must think i'm gonna catch it , and thats it

[NFL140]

@archerpur7 maybe thats my problem cause i cant catch fucking shit. catching is a scary thing for me just because i cant do it. i never could do it.

[superpowersonic]

@NFL140 lol im 12 and catch ball 90 percent of the time

[NFL140]

@superpowersonic lol. whats your age have to do with it. its catching you dont have to be a certain age to catch a football you just need to know how. now if you said im 12 and so good i got moved up to play for my highschool then i would be impressed lol

[MrYoungaaron500]

I'm tryin out for reciver august 2 hope we have a good qb cuz I run deep in if any one no a qb in the area of crispin tell em sigh ups is July 24 n 31

[scorpion50092]

[dudewithblackhair1]

[publickil]

[dudewithblackhair1]

@publickil i DONT BELEIVE A SINGLE LIE YOU ARE TELLING!!!.

[publickil]

I'm 6'2 a freshmen and I run a 4.62....and I max 205 on bench and 335 squatin....jus lettyn ppl know

[LegendaryGoetz]

@publickil how much do you weight?

[chess1993]

its funny i always hear the right way to catch the ball is with ur fingers but you see alot of good recievers catching the ball with their body

[SharpShot501st]

@chess1993

If the ball is in the air above you, what do you expect to catch it with?

Your abs? I doubt they even exist let alone able to jump high enough to catch a ball 7 or 8 feet in the air.

[Lupercio87]

@SharpShot501st most wr are 5' 9"- 6' 7' of course they catch a ball 7 - 8 feet high basketball players can 10 feet

[SharpShot501st]

@Lupercio87

Well duh they catch the ball that high in the air, but if they catch the ball without the use of their hands than that is truly amazing.

My previous statement = Catching ball without hands. Seems you missed that part.
