 oh right you guys what is going on I'm gonna face the camera front ways for this one because this video this video I have wanted to do for well ever since the video came out I haven't watched it I've wanted to watch it for so long it is Saquon Barkley career retrospective is it career I actually know what it is it's a video by Joseph Vincent absolute legend he makes sporting compilation videos but he's brought out a couple recently that I really want to react to which is one about Saquon Barkley and the other one is about Patrick Mahomes so those two videos are gonna be the two coming up today's video is Saquon Barkley I look I guess I'm expecting quite a number of people to watch this video I want to introduce myself once again my name is Jacob Jacob McDonald welcome to my YouTube channel I delved headfirst deep into the world of American football around about May or June time last year 2018 so it's been eight nine months of me learning the game following the game watching highlights you know posting my reaction videos on this channel as a rugby player okay so that's why I titled my videos rugby player yes eventually I'll take that out of the title but for now I'm still doing it I am a rugby player I played 20 years of rugby I'm 28 years old at the moment I was born in New Zealand I moved to Australia at age 19 I've been living in Australia since then I remember saying I've been in Australia for six weeks thinking I'm not gonna last year I remember saying a year two years three years I remember how crazy five years sounded and now it's nine years it's like life goes on guys you know at the end of the day life goes on time is our biggest asset and it's running out every single motherfucker day so live a life that you're proud of live a life you know with the least amount of regret as possible obviously there's there's gonna be some regret and that's just part of life but I definitely in this last year or especially in this last nine months I've tried to live a life where I just don't regret things because it's it's something that just eats me up inside so anyways that's a bit about me okay welcome to the channel if you are new here consider subscribing if you do enjoy this video hit the like button I've got over 350 American football reaction videos now and I'm proud of it I'm proud of it but I've enjoyed it and that's why I'm still doing it I fuck I really enjoy it I really enjoy it I'm just I'm trying not to swear so much so today's video is Saquon Barkley I guess the reason why I'm you know doing this intro part is because Saquon Barkley man I started watching American football on YouTube just after the draft okay so he'd been drafted second overall and I you know that's that's basically the first inkling I had of his name I looked up a few videos of him I looked at his top 10 plays from PSU that video has gone really well and basically throughout the season I followed his career because I was extremely interested I saw this guy he's like six one he's like 240 pounds he runs a 4.4 40 if not faster you know when he does run he really like leans into it he's got that power at full flight you know Saquon Barkley looks amazing he looks he looks like he's gliding along along the ground and you know combine that with hops combine that with an amazing jump cut combine that with just epic running ability and you've got a freaking amazing running back who has now received the offensive rookie of the year award and I'm not surprised I came in as soon as I started watching American football as soon as I saw my first snap as soon as I saw my first handoff to a running back I knew that I love running backs I knew that that was the position that was you know most associated with with where I've come from from rugby the ball is usually passed backwards from the quarterback to to the running back and that's how you would receive a pass in rugby in which case that means you've got space in front of you to assess what the defense is doing and then spy a gap and hopefully go through the great thing about football was that if your offensive line is doing their job that lane may even be opened up for you you know and then you don't have to do anything but what I've seen Saquon do and what I've seen the best running backs do is that even if that lane isn't open it doesn't stop them it doesn't stop them at all they quite like that because it's a chance for them to use their flair and use their skills to do something that the defense weren't expecting and the coach probably wasn't expecting they probably weren't expecting and that's the thing with the best running backs is that it's like ah they don't know exactly what they're going to do but they've got that ability they've got that split seconds sort of decision making ability to make something out of nothing and that's why I love Saquon Barclay and that is why we're watching that video today so with that being said I've probably I've probably been talking about five minutes now it's time we get into the video I'm going to roll the intro and I'll see you back here in just a second I've watched the first five seconds of it I have been putting it off putting it off putting it off because I want to watch it with you guys this is a special player he's in a special time in his career he's just won the offensive rookie of the year he's got 13 or 1400 rushing yards I mean the amount of jump cuts around the outside and just pin his ears back for the line that I saw was was amazing I don't know how many touchdowns he scored but we're about to find out in fact I'm going to read this right now rookie of the year winner in league sensation Saquon Barclay drafted number two overall by the giants has taken the league by storm this short retrospective takes a look at the origins of Barclay his college ascension and his rookie year dominance that has pundits and coaches around the league comparing the running back to Barry Sanders okay so this is going to give me a bit of context about where he's come from which is good and the next video that we're going to watch is Saquon Barclay's full rookie highlights which is going to be absolutely amazing because it's going to show absolutely every single snap which is with with the commentary which is going to be amazing the unfortunate thing about Joseph Vincent videos is that there's not a lot of actual live footage it's more so a compilation with cinematics and slowdown footage and things like that but with that being said that's enough talking let's get into it as coach said I love the expectations that they have for him within the franchise since everything Saquon Barclay is first vision to bang cut yeah yeah that was his hit on set on Ramsey wasn't it look at them look at them when they get up look at this shit give it to him Barclay give it to yeah what are you gonna do Ramsey I love him so say why you moved from the Bronx to Pennsylvania when you're five years old you know I kind of have doubts a little bit I wanted to get with football and my father gave me some of the best advice what you put in one day you could be a quarter for that your life if you bust it out something like 27 reps on the the 225 pound bench now that is monstrous I mean crazy lifts crazy and a 405 pound fucking clean and we just see that run before it's like a gazelle doesn't need to I thought he was gonna have a nice clean jump cut but he really doesn't need to he can just run straight into people look at that physique whoops look at this look at that you guys try and rip 405 pounds off the floor and hold it on your collarbone wow I mean that is just intense power man I remember that one he has explosive ability I was thinking it's funny when the defendants go flying go flying through once when they give hurdles the defenders literally do not know what's happening because they feel like they're just about to make a massive contact and then it's like no I knew he was gonna catch that and automatically give it a left foot jump cut which is exactly what he did he's got such good awareness man like I said I unfortunately I just missed the draft when I first started watching American football so after seeing a few of the college football games from the last season it's gonna be really interesting for me to watch the combine for a start which I can't wait for I love things like that and then and then the draft day so yeah can't wait like a long job what you're put to bring to this offense and to save this off and again yes they do he absolutely loves his little his he gets the hand off he comes around the right-hand side of the quarterback he sees that defender coming across it's left foot bang and he literally jumps across maybe one or two meters and then it's pin your ears back and around the outside using your block is in front he's got it down man he has it down I don't know about his right foot cut going around to the left but I've seen a hell of a lot going around to the right and every single time it just works not only is he great he's a receiver he's a receiver yet quite clean he just did a one two three four spin within literally a foot he's got he's got that one-two-three doesn't mean he's got it down that was amazing what's he gonna do as a receiver? I want to see this that corner didn't do much really imagine Barclay having some quick slant roots so easy seriously that's so oh my god it gives me it gives me goosebumps man for them to say things like is this a generational talent is you know are we seeing something so special here I just feel so excited I do to see this guy continue to play I really do he's only had one season man jump cut and another one too much pace too much pace he knows he's got it over this guy this guy and get them he's already jump cut of these two they're trying to catch up to him already he's got pace and he's gone see ya well okay sorry guys maybe not 55 did actually keep up with them once he's tough he talked about his legs and the size of his thighs we're gonna see that again is he gonna score it go go has he got the pace what I'm wondering is actually how his and OBJ's relationship is because I feel like OBJ may have sort of lost a bit of the shine the limelight you know what I mean it's sort of it's always been on Barclay this year I don't know how he liked that the speed the speed in the power those guys aren't gonna bring him down I knew it you can just tell 4-2 4-3 I reckon so that is one thing that I feel like makes American football easier to score touchdowns than rugby because we literally need to get the ball over the field and down in the ground on the ground right so it needs to touch the ground if it's over the line but it doesn't touch the ground it's called held up the offense keeps the ball but they go back and it's not it's not a try it's not a touchdown so I mean one of the major top well two major times when I see this happen and I think about it is when the running back or receiver whoever is going for a touchdown and they dive out and all they need to do is touch that pile on I'm like if that's if that was the case in rugby we would score so many more tries because you know we're always sort of just about there but the ball just doesn't get put down or it's just out you know what I mean so if we actually just had something in the air to sort of aim for there'd be there'd be you know there'd be more tries scored and also the other time is when the running back will come straight over the back of the O line when they're about one yard out to try and get the ball over the line I mean if that was rugby we would have to go over and also have the ball touch the ground at the same time so it wouldn't be as easy right so obviously having the ball in the air over the line is going to be easier than having to ground it over the line and that is the major difference about scoring a try as opposed to a touchdown The ability to make the first guy miss in the hole rarely do you see the first man make the tackle on a safe line Don't you just love that? And he said he has a generational spirit in playing the game I just love it Oh my god it is incredible it really is incredible you know sometimes you see when you're coming up in the rugby ranks sometimes you see crazy players or sometimes like a team will have a guy who's a foot taller than all the other kids you know and they just carve up no one can tackle them it's like tackle him man that's what it's like it's like it's like a man playing against boys but it's not That jump cut is so nice Catching he's got it 204 total yards on the night for number 27 My calves were always bigger than everybody Even in grade school the older kids were looking at me like What are you doing? Yeah well now the sides are bigger than everybody 823 yards from Stringage He has been statistically sensational Making people miss Running away from people being used in the past game He's been using the turn game Don't tell me he's going to get first down It's like Malcolm Jetson Being a generational running back What is it about him that makes him so special? Bang bang bang Bang bang He's going to jump through the roof Bang bang bang bang bang See ya Actually I'm going to look at that Because this is his bread and butter I need to know exactly he's going right left right And then it's a left right Whoop He's athletic Right left right Well he's actually doing a three step each time It's just so fast Sometimes I feel like When they go da da da Just to do a right foot step Sometimes I think why don't you just bang a Just a right foot in I guess the little Shimmy of the feet The one two three or one two three four five Puts the defender off But as far as you being the attacker And wanting to get round him as fast as possible I reckon just one foot Don't you? Slant route That's what I'm talking about Like that He hadn't had a great running back Which was peaky barb Something out of nothing Which is what he's been doing all year long All season long Little deadly Whoa He's going to leap as high as he leaps This kid is really a specialist in Compensate Park Even he's like How the hell did I do that Shivers man That's some pretty crazy hops man Like he just kept flying He would have expected him to sort of come down a bit But it looks like he would have made it to the end of the end zone Well Joseph Vincent I am not one of your Patreon supporters But I absolutely Loved that video And I hope you guys did too I know I've talked to Shitload But I knew that, you know, a lot of you guys Are probably going to want to watch this video And we might even get some new viewers So it was my duty to Not only introduce myself, introduce my channel again But tell you guys where I'm coming from As far as my perspective I guess that's why my audience enjoy it So if you have enjoyed this video once again Hit the like button If you want to subscribe Please do And I'll see you in the next one Peace out, have a great day
