 Alright everybody, what is going on? Welcome back to another video and the final video of the day. Salt Lake Stallions vs the Arizona Hot Shots. We're watching the AAF, it's the Alliance of American Football. I'm very excited to follow it. This is the fourth game of four in the first week. The games were played probably about three or four days ago. Today's date is Wednesday the 13th of February. And I'm sitting here in Cairns in Australia giving my personal critique and opinions as a rugby player to American Football. And I am absolutely loving it. Fucking loving it. And I'm not meant to swear. Anyways guys, there's no time to lose if you have been here for all the previous four videos. I want to say thank you. It's probably been a lengthy period of time because I have ranted and raved and talked about all sorts of bullshit in these videos but I wanted to get it all out there. And I think this video is probably going to be a bit shorter than what we have had in the past. So with that said, let's get into it. I promise I'm not going to pause the video at all. Okay, that's my promise to you. Let's get into it. Get him off you. Too bad he couldn't shake the defender there. That looks like Arizona hotshots look like they're playing from Australia. Basically they look like the Australian national team. Green and gold. I could have sworn that was Australia. In fact, I'm going to show you guys. Look at this. Look at this shit. Sorry, that's lingerie football. Australian gridiron. No, we don't want lingerie. Okay, alright. So it's green. Green and yellow. Fair enough. Not quite. This is yellow and green. And I paused the video already. I'm sorry. Seemed a little bit easy. Love it. Absolutely love it. How did he get open? Oh, sorry, I paused it. Where is he? Right here? Or this guy? I'm not sure. No, this one here. It's too easy. That's pretty cool. He said first touchdown in hotshots history. First points in hotshots history. It'd be pretty sweet being the player to score the first points of the first touchdown in your team's history, right? How long are these teams going to stick around for? Seriously, do you really think it's going to continue? I guess we're going to know a lot more after the season. If everyone enjoyed it, why wouldn't it be back? If people think it's not to the level that it needs to be, then it might not be. And you've got the XFL coming next year, don't you? Hang on. So when does the XFL start? I have to know this. Okay, the 10-week inaugural season will be beginning in January or February 2020. Okay, that means that the Super Bowl is going to finish and both the XFL and the AAF are going to be playing in competition with each other. Is that going to work? Is it going to work? I don't know. Three professional football leagues in America. Well, at least it gives me a better chance, doesn't it? That's really all I should be worried about, is fucking trying to get in the league myself. What happened there? What the hell happened there? I didn't see that. Okay, so the running back doesn't get it. The quarterback still got it, and he's going to go on himself. Not a bad punt. Oh! Oh! Seemed a couple of fumbles. The fact that DeNorey herself is going to be substituting for the number Katelyn Clay who was out in active tonight. These guys look like the Lions, don't they? What's that uniform? It reminds me of Barry Sanders. He's not been the regular returner, and here we have a big turnover. That's for McDougal, Johnny, on the spot. You know, special teams catch that. Come on. Beautiful pass. Nice catch. That quality here was by the play-con as soon as you had a turnover, just take the shot. Nice pass. Beautiful pass. I thought the receiver was going to get that. I was like, man, that's going to be an amazing touchdown, but no. Really, he shouldn't. That should have been picked, and it was. They're going to make the play. He's over and catching the ball. Let's have a look at this. That's what he spoke yesterday about visibility to run and cover. He really felt good about it. You see him trying to stay strong and in the penalty as long as he can, it gives him an opportunity to turn and seek the football. We talked about this coach last night about guys that like to play with the 270. Lock the holder. 55 yards. 53. Solid kick. First attempt for the stallions. Take on. Solid. Woodruff finds it. Well, coach, the up-and-down is gross. You know how hard it is for a quarterback to be able to get the ball up and over the linebacker and down before it takes him to get there. Third and fourth from the side. Woodruff, get on line. So I have to go back. I have to go back. I heard something there. He said it was up-and-down throw. So I guess a straight up-and-down throw is like he said, up above the linebacker and down before the safety gets there, which is interesting. I've never really heard of it be talked about like that. Coming back, I think you saw it for a little bit. Well, coach, the up-and-down is gross. You know how hard it is for a quarterback to be able to get the ball up and over the linebacker and down before it takes him to get there. Well, I assume it would be pretty hard. At times. Is he going to get there? Oh! What a catch. See that again. He turned right around. He had to come back to get it, didn't he? What's the defender doing? Oh! No one's stopping him. Oh, he's got pace. Go, go, son. No stranger to running the ball. I like that. What a duck. I was going to say that, but you know what? I did it too. What a tremendous catch. One-hander. It's a one-hander ball. Nice catch. Step, bang! Where's your bang off the left, mate? Yeah, tempo, tempo, tempo. When I clean up on the ball, they get you to guess where we're going. We're calling the play of the line of scrimmage. The linebacker doesn't sink deep enough. You have your third receiver. Two wide receivers to the left for Wolfer. Looking into the corner at the end, son. That's caught that throw. Didn't matter who shot Ross. This may be on the offense. They call push-off here, but if not, if they don't, I tell you what. He's also the guy that is making a name for himself right now. Again, great execution. You see the little... Shot, Ross. Inside, back. Yeah, Ross. Watch. See the bang. See number 88, 101. Well, they have a safety. The animals are free safety. Wolfer going to the right. Thomas Guarte. Where's he from? He went to UCLA. He went to 14 in 2016. He went to Chicago in 20 with the Redskins. Now it's... Man, there's been a lot of pecs. Not just in this game. Over the whole league. Yeah, really nice job, everybody. Number 51, Evan Robinson, again, who's made some plays this evening. Gets up, is able to tip the football right there at the line. Off the line, the skimmer's covering the tight end. He was able to slough back. Stevie Johnson comes up with the plate. I mean, he was completely outstretched, wasn't it? That was just good hops, good awareness. It was a good play by the defender. Well done. You say that all the time. Checking into the game. Quick pass. Game of inches. That's what I always come back to. If he missed it, it's like, OK, well, if he had have jumped a couple of milliseconds earlier, if he had have had his hand a couple of inches higher, it would have hit. And when they do get the tip, it's like, well, if he had have jumped a couple of seconds slower and not jumped as high, then he would have missed it. It's like, it is a game of inches, isn't it? It's... Nice catch. Tight end in the red zone. Those are your go-to guys because they have such a big target. You're able to throw the ball up. Well, first of all, great job identifying it, getting the ball to him high in the back end of the end zone. Ooh! Good catch. If he makes the steal goal, it would be down 16. So, again, two touchdowns, two touchdowns, it's converted. Oh! Oh! Nice. Personnel hauls it in. Great work by Lenahan. Two down. Great work. Personnel, trying to atone for the fumble punt earlier. He makes the fourth down to hurt. I thought he was throwing it away, though. But this, they weren't able to come up. Oh, tipped. That's lucky to get that one off. Fair catch is made. Was it tipped? That was a huge punt. They weren't... from 25. Okay, it wasn't clipped. He was clipped. That's 60 yards on the fourth. He's selling it, is he? What happened? Oh! Look how high his leg gets! He's been playing play up at Rice Echo Stadium there at the University of Utah campus. So, you know, the elements could play a factor in this dish, like we said earlier. The elevation of Salt Lake, the dryness here. The clock is winding down. The first ever game between the Arizona hot shots and the Salt Lake stallions, Dennis Erickson, hugging it out. He's been around so long, I'm sure he knows almost everybody on this football field. For Rick Newhaisel and his hot shots. So, definitely a lot more impressive teams. Wow. Well, there you go. There you go, guys. That's it. It's done. But I do want to just quickly find out the AAF squad numbers. I want to know how many players are on a team. I want to know how many players are on a team. Alliance American Football. Let's have a look. Probably should have done this at the start. Um... Okay. On July 30th, last year, the Alliance announced the league had signed 100 players. In August, the league held the Alliance Scouting Combine three locations and four dates. Los Angeles, Houston, and Atlanta. And by August 24th, which is less than a month later, they had 205 players signed. These dates provided an opportunity for players cut at the NFL roster deadline and each player signed a three-year contract with $250,000 with performance-based fan contracts. Okay, so $250,000. They're getting paid $250,000 for three years. It's an average salary, isn't it? It's $80,000. Maybe I could make it. $250,000 over three years. Really. The AAF began its inaugural 10-week season on February 9th, 2019. The first points in AAF regular season history were scored by kicker Yong-Ho Koo of the Atlanta Legends. Yep. I'm supporting the Legends this year, by the way, who made a 38-yard field goal against the Orlando Apollo's. So the Atlanta Legends scored the first points in all of AAF history, yet they got beaten 40 to 6 in that game. That's unfortunate. The last thing I'll do is look at Yong-Ho Koo because he is the kicker for my team. He was born in 1994. He is 24 years old. He's 5'9". And he went to Georgia College and he played for the Chargers in 2017. And now he's at the Legends, 2019. So he has played in the NFL. Okay, I'll give him credit for that. Okay. You can take that one. He signed with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent following the 2017 NFL draft. He won the starting job over incumbent kicker Josh Lambo following the conclusion of the pre-season. Koo became the fourth player in NFL history to be born in South Korea. Now, I did mention in the previous video that I had not seen an Asian player. I just hadn't. It's kind of like in Rugby, or Rugby in New Zealand anyway. You just don't see it. I don't know why. I think, but there you go. We've got Koo. But anyway, this is not a politics-based channel. This is not a race or religion-based channel. This is a fun-based channel. And we're having a lot of fun watching the inaugural season of AAF. So if you want to stick around, if you have enjoyed this video hit that like button. If you want to subscribe even better, even better, or even better, even better. And I'll see you in the next one. Peace out everybody. Have a great day.
