 All right everybody, what is going on? Welcome back to another video and to my reaction to the first game of week number three of the new Professional American Football League in America, sorry that was a bit of a tongue twister, the AAF, the Alliance of American Football, I'm really excited to follow this new league. I know some of you guys are too, probably not as many as are into the NFL of course, but me being from Australia or from New Zealand, living in Australia, having dived real deep into the world of American football over the last nine months, this is just a continuation of my, I guess, introduction into the game. So I can't wait to watch it, we've got four games to watch, Highlight Heaven is the channel that I'm going to be watching them from, I'm not going anywhere near NFL, the channel NFL because I'm guaranteed to get copyright, which is fucking shit, not only do I not get anything from it, but you guys have the risk of it being blocked as well. So I'm going to stay away from NFL, although they are still putting out the highlights. I'm going to Highlight Heaven, I'll see you in a second, let's roll the intro and get into it. Okay, what have we got here? Let's go. Arizona Hot Shots vs Salt Lake Stallions, AAF Week 3, game number one. Let's do it. Look at them now, hands the ball off to the left side, that's Oliver. Decent run. Look up the first down that left side line, it's up in the shot gun with twin wide receivers left. The pump fake down the field, that's outside the stretched arms. I'm lucky. Excuse me, that's Brian Timbs on the intended receiver and we've got a flag. Defense number 21. What have we got here? Salt Lake Stallions, they are 0-2, the same as the legends. 38-22, 12-9. Arizona Hot Shots, what are you going to do? The audio is out a little bit. Hey, offensive pass interference, right? He's tackled. What are you doing on the ground mate? Defense number 25. In fact there were four field goal attempts, this will be a 54 yard attempt for the Stallions. 54 yards, nice kick. Well done. That was right down the middle, gentlemen. Well, no it wasn't mate, it was actually to the left. Pass again and this time it went slant inside of Marquis Bundy. Pick up a 15. You see how fast that 31 came in? He was looking for blood, watch this. But the Hot Shots receiver just slightly cut at the last second to get away. Well done. Slant inside of Marquis Bundy. Pick up a 15 yards on the play. Two of three, this is a 45 yard attempt. He made a 53 yard or a weak one against the Stallions and that one's hooked. That's a bad kick. So here we go. Down and two as they hand the ball back inside the ball yelp. Oh, nice boost down. On second effort picks up a couple as again Niles Morgan, the linebacker is in on the stop. Looks like it's good enough for a first down. Oh, it is. I really like that camera angle from behind, especially for runs with the running backs because we can really see the way that they set up the cuts and set up their play. That's good. That's a haul near the first down marker. That's Niles Morgan to get with the stop. Picks up five yards on the play. It's kind of like, can you imagine playing Madden on the side view? Like they do, when you first start playing NBA, which I have done recently, they put it on the side view, broadcast view or whatever, it's cool. I instantly change it back to 2K or behind the play, just like you see in Madden because if it's at the side, you can't get the depth. You don't know where you are, you don't know how far away the defenders are, you can't really see the cuts. But a mixture of broadcast view and the behind view is perfect for me. You don't want all of one or all of the other. Do you agree? That quarterback could have faked it and had completely open space right in front of him. Wonder who's commentating. Nice work. Nice work staying on your feet. I actually thought it was a bit of a lazy sort of pass. There was nothing like, I guess really quick fire about it. Let's see how it happened. Watch the block right here by 83. It does look faster from behind actually. Why did he shake the referee's hand? That is a 60 yard. Go, go, go, I like this, I like this, I like this. I'd like to see it from behind now. Actually that's how I'd like it and that's how they usually do it with the camera angles. Forget about what I said before, you watch it from the side with general play. Once they go back to a replay, that's when they start messing around with the camera angles. Late in the week he just signed. Really? Where did he sign from? Solomon. Solomon, let me see this. Honestly I'm so interested in the caliber of players and where they've come from. What sort of teams they've played with because this could be my shot. And for the guy who said, don't be so cocky Jacob, you've never played a game of American football in your life. I hear you, I hear you and that's all I'm going to say. Hang on, is he on their roster on Wikipedia? That'll say something. What have we got? Wide receivers, he is not on the list just yet. But you will be. Second and three. Give it to the running back. And they don't. Now Ross has been quite impressive. He's fast. He's fast, you get him around the outside like they just did there and he's pre-lethal. Who the fuck is Nick Folk? You better get it. Only just had the distance. Shot man. He has a lot of skill. Shot. Bang. Shot Ross. Did it get up? Get rid of it. So that's a catch. Do you know what? The reason that I mentioned the commentators before and the reason I'm mentioning it now is because that voice sounds very, very familiar and I've just worked out who it sounds like. It sounds like Tyrum Woodley. The UFC welterweight champion. Fakes it inside. Nobody takes the fake and he's set. A loss of seven yards on the play and it's Mike Purcell. With a penetration. Seven seconds down. The first half is... Jesus, was he over the line? Let's have a look at that. I'm going to make up my own mind. Let's see what he did here. How did he get over? Second and goal, probably two yards out. They are two yards out. Where's Ross? He's right here. He's just bouncing around. What's he going to do? Bouncing around. Bang. That was a dart. What? Come on, man. Ross is lethal. You've got to be on him. Go, lateral. What just happened there? He knows that the ball was short of the landing out there. Goal line as a result is an unsuccessful point after try. Let me see this. I like these runs. I like these little... How did he not score this? He should have drawn and passed as we call it in rugby. Look. Right now, oh no. He should have scored that point blank. That blocker did a perfect job with the long hair. That's the lead option. Looks like Bakhtiari. And I remember him from the top 100 list of 2018. Trevor Knight is their first pick at the quarterback position. It's like goal line after further review. Diddy O'Evans proves that the ball was short of the landing out there. Goal line as a result is an unsuccessful point after try. So to begin the second half, Arizona will open up play for the 25-yard line. First and 10, intercepted. That's Rear Bartini who picks it out of the air. Good catch. It looked like a frog. It was just like... The return of Wilkirk is down. He's been taking shots all night, guys. And this might have been the one here. When you talk about it, he's trying to get the ball out quick and they just misidentify the protection. Well, what is the left tackle doing right here, Maurice? Malcolm Bunch, you've got to block the defense then. Do you know what block them? Who does? So Carter... Carter shoots unblocked. He gets a free hit on the quarterback. Not easy to stop someone. It doesn't matter who they are in American football from a couple of yards out. It's just... It's not easy, is it? I mean, the running back has to make two yards and they're in. Three yards. What is the best play from like... Well, if you're first and goal, or second and goal, third and goal, no matter what it is, what is the best play? What's your go-to play? Your 100% play? That's going to get that running back, or receiver, or quarterback in the end zone from two yards out. Let me know in the comments section below. I want to say I'd always bounce out wide either left or right, but the amount of touchdowns I've seen, like going through the middle, basically, what do they call it? A draw? Is it a draw? When the whole entire offensive line goes one way and the running back gets it and then bounces the other way. Is that a draw? I'm not sure. Let's see what happens here. What did that hot... What did that yellow guy came around the back and smash someone? Did he smash a quarterback? No, no, no. He was just following through on his block. 39 yards. 39 yards attempt. No. No good. 45 yards. There's been a fair few kicks, hasn't there? Is that just me or has there been? I think each team's got at least two or three. Fourth and inches. What are they going to do? Fourth and goal. Let's have a look at this. They've got one receiver out here. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. There must be another receiver out left. What are they going to do? What are they going to do? Well, the quarterback's going to get it and he's going to come back and he's going to fake it to 36, go on to the left, but really, number 80 is going to be bouncing on the inside. He's going to be completely open right about here and they're going to score. Let's see. Not quite. After further review, it was determined that the ball carrier broke the plan of the goal line in possession of the ball. Gusset. Gusset for Arizona. You can make something, get it. Now that was like a drag. Is it a drag? Not a drag wheel. It's kind of like a tight end attack, but you've got all your players going up and then going one way. If that quarterback rolls out to the right and you've got all your receivers making a right-hand cut or going to the right, then all your receivers are going to be in your line of sight. It's going to be easier just to choose one. I would have thought he'd go for the one that's closest to him, but obviously someone was behind that receiver and was open for the ball. I'm going to watch that again. I'm going to watch that cut and if they all were going to the right, which I think they were. Oh shit, okay. So these two receivers go in. Now they're making a curl and going out, whereas this receiver came through and he's going right too. So you're going to have one, two, three receivers going right. One, two, three. And it was basically just choosing... They've each got a man on him, but if the receiver is in front of his defender, then the quarterback just needs to make a good throw, which he did and it's going to be a touchdown. I want to watch that again. Look at these two. Look at these two guys out here. Look at these two receivers, the way that they curl at the exact same time. Watch this. Completely in sync, aren't they? It's like synchronized swimming. Huh. Yeah, there was a lot of opportunity for him to score that. That was good. That was well set up. Went through two sets of hands. So they get this and the game's not over. They've still got a chance. What are you going to do? Hail Mary? Did they just do a Hail Mary? Let's see where the receivers are set up. I see what they're doing. It's fourth and twelve. Okay, because it's their kick. Right. But instead of taking a kick and trying to get... So it's their kick, but instead of going for an onside kick and trying to retain the ball, they're going for a fourth and twelve to keep the ball. This is one of the rule changes, isn't it? Okay. So fourth and twelve, they're going to have to make a pass. If they do complete the pass, it's not all over. If they don't, she's all over. Let's get into it. Fucking terrible. Oh my God. He got... He got hit. Oh, that's just... That's not fair. This receiver's like, what the fuck, quarterback? What'd you just do to me? But was there a better option? Was there a better option? We've got one, two, three, four receivers running up. The quarterback needed more time. No man, that's a terrible throw. When you've got to make twelve yards you've got two fucking linebackers behind you and someone in front. I don't know what he is. I think he's a defensive lineman. Never going to work. Should have gone for a run play. They wouldn't have expected that. Damn. I didn't actually realise that there was east and west divisions. That's interesting. So what do we got? Atlanta, Owen two and Owen one in the division. And I'm assuming the top two from each division play semi-finals. And there you go. So Atlanta have some work to do. They've got some work to do. But it's not all over until the fat lady sings as they say. 23-15, it's a pretty entertaining game. Any game that goes down to the wire where there is a chance for the other team to win is a good game in my books. That was the first game of the week. We've got three more to go. I hope you enjoyed. I'm actually pretty fucking tired right now. It's probably not the best time for me to be doing this. It's like 7.30 in the morning. I haven't had much sleep. I've sort of been looking after my daughter a lot recently and I couldn't let this opportunity go. I needed to do these games. This morning I'm doing them. And I hope you enjoy. So with that being said, like the video if you liked it. And I'll see you in the next one.
