00:00Yeah, your favorite football move.
00:02Holy mackerel, what a run by Barry Shandy.
00:04This is one of the most effective moves in the NFL right now.
00:08Little double move right there.
00:09You can't see, oh, you got straight arm, you got stiff, you got stopped.
00:13It's a jungle out there, baby, and if you ain't ready to be in that jungle, you better go home.
00:19Are you ready?
00:22Today, we're counting down the 10 best moves a football player can make.
00:27That looked like something out of a video game.
00:30Flips, balls, lobs it to Craig, touchdown 49ers.
00:34Walter Payton was the best at it.
00:36I haven't seen shifty moves like that, hips move like that since Walter Payton.
00:40Payton Manning is a master of it today.
00:42For a quarterback that's 6'6", he's very mobile.
00:46Great to have quarterbacks that can run.
00:48We're not just talking quarterbacks.
00:50You've got to look to catch the ball with your hands, but also use your peripheral vision.
00:55Tip-toes the back of the end zone!
00:57I am so glad for football moves, you have some O-line moves.
01:05That's what cowards do.
01:07Mother f***er, you're going to get your jaw jab.
01:09Because they can't block you.
01:12Hey, listen to me, listen to me.
01:15Is there such a thing as a clean offensive line?
01:17Everybody's dirty.
01:18You try to break the other guy's nose.
01:20It's just me and you, and I have to prove something to you.
01:24I'm stronger.
01:25I'm tougher.
01:27You can't punk me out here right now.
01:29Wow, what a play!
01:31Oh my God!
01:32Stay tuned to see which moves juked their way onto our list.
01:36When you get to see it on film, you're like, ooh, that was nasty.
01:44The number 10 football move of all time, the spin move.
01:49Only number 10.
01:50Wow, the spin move.
01:51He spins out, scrambles against the great.
01:54Love the spin move.
01:55Don't think there's enough of it in the NFL.
01:57Oh my way!
01:58I marvel when I see something like that.
02:00Was that ever spectacular?
02:02Man, you talk about abracadabra.
02:05Oh!
02:08Why does it work?
02:09I don't know why it works.
02:10I mean, all you're doing is spinning.
02:11You're not doing anything.
02:13Why don't they just tackle you while you're spinning?
02:15I don't really understand exactly why it works, but it does.
02:18You know, you go in there and you, you know, okay, now I'm spinning.
02:22What the heck's going on out here?
02:24Everybody's grabbing out there.
02:26Nobody's talking.
02:27Scramb, grab, grab.
02:28Good move if you could perfect it.
02:32If you can't perfect it, when you come out of the spin, you're going to get smacked.
02:37So you better know what you're doing when you spin.
02:43Spinning objects can hypnotize and excite those around them,
02:47and our number 10 football move has done both throughout NFL history.
02:52When I think of LaDainian Tomlinson and his ability to turn what looked like a three-yard loss
02:59into maybe a two or four or even a 15-yard gain,
03:03oftentimes it was the spin move and being able to get out of a sure tackle.
03:07That's insane.
03:08I would consider the spin move to be where you use their leverage against them
03:12because as they hit you, you spin.
03:14You not only break the tackle, but you make them look bad because they fall down.
03:18Did you just see that?
03:19The spin move to me, the originator Chuck Orman,
03:21would be the original spin move.
03:24Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
03:26Red Grange was probably the first guy to do it.
03:30Chuck Orman popularized it, and he's a male or male.
03:33Super Bowl XI, I never felt like I could ever fall for a spin move.
03:39He's spun before.
03:40He's spinning.
03:41He breaks it through the line.
03:43He's going down the field, and I'm just winding up,
03:45and he goes,
03:46and I go flying right by him.
03:49I said, holy mackerel, the spin move.
03:54There's Hall of Famer.
03:55Chuck Orman trying to get it.
03:57There's Hall of Famer Ted Hendricks trying to get Chuck Orman.
04:01But Chuck Orman did it so graciously,
04:04and then I think Barry Sanders sort of capped it off
04:06and brought it to a whole other level
04:09that every running back wishes they could do this business.
04:12Unbelievable.
04:16Holy mackerel, what a run by Barry Sanders.
04:21How can you put in move number 10?
04:23Because it's the only move that can be used as a method of attack
04:27by the offensive and defensive player.
04:30He's right.
04:31He's right.
04:31He's right.
04:32He's right.
04:32It's a top five move, in the very least.
04:35It is a top five move.
04:36The person that comes to mind that is really deadly with it
04:39is Dwight Freeney.
04:40Left him one-on-one.
04:42They came with a spin move and just threw the tackle to the ground.
04:45It's all about steps and the timing of your steps
04:47and getting that offensive lineman to lean on you
04:50at the right time so you can spin back inside.
04:53He came with a spin move.
04:54I can tell you that just watching him play,
04:56those offensive linemen are terrified when they line up against him.
04:59Freeney came with a pull rush spin move to the inside.
05:05The spin move has spun its way onto our countdown
05:09as the number 10 football move of all time.
05:13I think it should be used more often.
05:15It's a great move, especially, you know,
05:17somebody's going to unload on you.
05:18You can just deflate your sails and be gone.
05:21Good move to use.
05:22A little razzle dazzle up you will.
05:24Oh, did you see that?
05:25Did you see that?
05:26Oh, my.
05:28Some moves that could have made our list are now off limits.
05:32Boom!
05:33Our hands going right at the guy's neck.
05:35Boom!
05:36Get these guys.
05:37Like Chris, the hangman hamburger's signature clothesline.
05:42I had the habit that I developed of tackling high.
05:46I mean, I've got that mentality
05:48that we ought to be able to do anything
05:50that we can do to get them down.
05:52I mean, if you can clothesline somebody,
05:53I think you should be able to do that.
05:55I mean, if he doesn't want to get clotheslined,
05:57let him duck his head.
06:00Our next move isn't a high hit,
06:02but a low blow.
06:05The cut block?
06:06That can't be a little spin.
06:08The number nine football move of all time,
06:10the cut block.
06:14To get hit below the knees, it hurts.
06:17I could have said the nine every time.
06:21The good cut block is a great move
06:23because they go down like bowling pins.
06:25Down he goes!
06:29Trees falling on the head!
06:31I used to love cut blocks
06:33because it's the great equalizer.
06:35They come off the ball so hard,
06:37you had to wait until you looked them in the eye,
06:39and then at the last second, you dipped.
06:41They'd be like, oh, oh, really?
06:42Woo!
06:43It's like in a heavyweight fight.
06:45You go to the body, you marinate the meat,
06:47I can tenderize it a little bit.
06:48Even a quarterback can use our number nine move,
06:51but typically, it's performed by offensive linemen
06:54or running backs.
06:56I'm going to take my arm and my shoulder,
06:59and I'm going to aim for your thigh,
07:02and I'm able to cut your feet from up under you
07:04so you can go flying in the air.
07:09215, 250, I'm giving up a lot of pounds here.
07:12I need something like the cut block.
07:14They get a full head of steam,
07:16and they're charging at you.
07:18It slows them down because they don't know what to expect.
07:23It really helped protecting the quarterback,
07:26especially as much as we threw the football.
07:29One of the best cutters in the game was Emmitt.
07:33One of those guys that could cut anybody down.
07:36Cutting allows blockers to go on the offensive
07:39and to get creative.
07:41He went down like he was going to cut one time
07:43and didn't and came up.
07:45Oh, and he killed it.
07:47Bang of 26 is headed for Emmitt,
07:50and he is sorry he got there.
07:52And I was like, I got to add that to my game.
07:58I could see why players would have an issue
08:00with it being a dirty play.
08:02I mean, you're going right up the kneecaps.
08:03They get mad at you, and they say,
08:05don't do that again.
08:07What's one of y'all trying to cut me, man?
08:09Say, okay, I won't.
08:10And the next play, you can do it again.
08:11It's hilarious.
08:12That's why defensive players
08:14always are fighting offensive linemen.
08:16You better watch yourself, big dog.
08:17You better watch yourself.
08:19You got to go for my legs.
08:20Are you kidding me?
08:21Come on, come on.
08:22Man up and block me in the face.
08:25Don't f*** out like that.
08:26Hit me in the chops if you dare.
08:29But don't go for my legs.
08:31Come on.
08:32Oh, that's weak as s***.
08:37Coward.
08:38All you offensive linemen out there
08:40are a bunch of cowards.
08:41Cry me a river.
08:43What's wrong with the good old-fashioned
08:44cut block in open space?
08:46McIntyre just took Charles Woodson
08:48and cuts him down.
08:49Nothing.
08:50Nothing's wrong with that.
08:51Keep those guys away from the knee.
08:53The cut block way too high on your list.
08:55Stand by the girl.
08:56I don't cut.
08:59Hey, hey, hey.
09:00Hey, if you look, if you chase a guy running down the field,
09:06just watch your legs.
09:08I'm a man, dog.
09:09I don't never cut.
09:10Should be on the 10 dirtiest moves in the NFL.
09:12That should be the list you guys should be doing.
09:15The number eight football move of all time.
09:18The pump fake.
09:20Everyone knows that pump fake is one heck of a move.
09:23Montana rolling out the right.
09:25You get a guy off the ground,
09:26and now you can do your thing.
09:28Throws his pass.
09:29Caught by Clark.
09:30Clark's on a touchdown.
09:32Pump fakes are great.
09:33They're two for one.
09:33They get linemen jumping,
09:35getting their hands up.
09:36They get corners biting.
09:38Hey, looks.
09:39Pumps.
09:39He throws back door to play.
09:41Touchdown!
09:41He puts the ball up, and I do this.
09:44You see a guy just go up, everything,
09:46arms, legs, spread out.
09:48Roethlisberger with a pump fake,
09:50and Antonio Camardi left his feet.
09:52You take advantage of defensive backs
09:55that like to peek at the quarterback.
09:56Nice pump fake by Matthew.
09:58Holds the defense.
09:59When you have the out and out,
10:01you see that defensive back absolutely bite on it.
10:06My old coach, when I was playing football in high school,
10:09called it, your eyes are dirty,
10:14looking in the backfield.
10:17Supposed to have been looking at the receiver.
10:20You would have known when the ball was coming
10:22because it would be right there.
10:31Pump fake to the end zone.
10:32Hussman has it!
10:34You're looking at your guy, you pump,
10:35and then once he realized you didn't throw the ball,
10:37you kind of hear him go, oh, no.
10:40McMahon's pump fake.
10:42It was Will Allen.
10:43He bit.
10:47There's different types of pump fakes.
10:50Some guys just like a little shoulder movement,
10:52a little hint like that.
10:55Warner had a great pump fake.
10:57Kurt sometimes would just do this little,
10:58and defensive backs would jump the route.
11:01Pumps, lob, right corner, end zone, touchdown!
11:03Staubach used to use a real pump fake,
11:05where, like, you're literally starting to throw,
11:08but you don't.
11:08You hold on to the ball.
11:09Roger pumps it once.
11:11Roger Staubach used our number eight move
11:14to make the Hail Mary possible.
11:16Down the near sideline for Drew Pearson.
11:18Pearson makes the catch at the five, touchdown!
11:21You know who's good at the pump fake?
11:23Doug Flutie.
11:25Huh.
11:26You'd have guys levitating the whole nine yards,
11:28and then he delivers down.
11:33What's his name in Pittsburgh?
11:36Roethlisberger making a career out of a pump fake.
11:38Pumps, pumps, pumps, pumps.
11:41Now runs around.
11:43Tom Brady does it really well.
11:45Brady fakes the pass, left out,
11:47fires left and right out, of course!
11:49Romo does a whole shoulder fake
11:50in addition to a pump fake,
11:52and that can get guys turned around pretty good.
11:55No pump fakes more than Brett Favre.
12:04He's in his own class.
12:10He'll pump fake late in the play, early in the play.
12:15He'll pump fake to multiple receivers.
12:17He'll pump fake just his hand in thin air.
12:20He's five or six yards beyond the line of scrimmage,
12:22and he pump fakes in.
12:24Look, guys, I'm still out here just having fun.
12:26That's how we go.
12:28I'll just come out, pump.
12:29Still having fun!
12:31I don't think there's any quarterback that's great at him.
12:33All you gotta do is, look, let me tell you,
12:35you drop in and you go,
12:36I'm sure it affects defenses,
12:38but it's so overblown by analysts.
12:40Brett Favre has one of the deadliest pump fakes
12:43that you've ever seen.
12:44Oh, watch Brett Favre's pump fake right here.
12:46Look, he moved the safety right off the hatch.
12:49And you see the safety just backpedaling.
12:51That was Brett Favre.
12:52The man who faked us all on his retirement
12:55holds the record for the longest touchdown pass
12:58after a pump fake.
13:00Here, it's 25 to 40.
13:0299 yards to Robert Brooks.
13:05He's gonna go for the puck now.
13:06Robert Brooks.
13:14The Bull Rush.
13:16Nice.
13:17The Bull Rush.
13:18Oh, the Bull Rush.
13:21Fantastic individual effort.
13:23Just coming and just driving people back.
13:26You know, like their feet were on skateboards.
13:27I mean, into the quarterback
13:28and nothing fancy about it.
13:30Just so strong.
13:33Anderson takes the snap.
13:35Here comes the pressure.
13:36He's hit, the ball is loose.
13:37Get it on the ground.
13:38The Colts pick it up.
13:39With the ball running, it's Robert Matthews.
13:41What a nice Bull.
13:43I like the Bull Rush.
13:44You know, that's beautiful,
13:46old-fashioned football as far as I'm concerned.
13:51It's fumbled.
13:52The Falcons have it.
13:53I booed him.
13:54He let me go so easy.
13:55I'm like, s***.
14:00They say if you mess with a bull,
14:02you'll get his horns.
14:04Ah!
14:06And that's why our number seven football move
14:09isn't just a bunch of BS.
14:13Oh, Bull Rush!
14:14They so sound for a friend!
14:16Bull Rush is kind of an attitude.
14:18You gotta be pissed off.
14:20Where it's no longer football.
14:22It's just me.
14:24And you.
14:25I'm telling you, it's coming.
14:26I'm gonna put this helmet right in your face.
14:28It's a jungle out there, baby.
14:30If you ain't ready to be in that jungle,
14:31you better go home.
14:32It's the NFL.
14:34Somebody needs to get drilled.
14:35I'm not worried about the other guy.
14:37I want to beat him.
14:38I want to stop him.
14:39I want to embarrass him.
14:40I want to finish you.
14:42Hey, Sula, you better hope I never get back in
14:44and I'll kick your...
14:49Like a surging tsunami,
14:51a Bull Rush causes devastation among quarterbacks
14:54and leaves offensive linemen filled with anxiety.
14:58I don't like the Bull Rush.
14:59Worst thing in football.
15:00Bull Rush is the worst thing in football.
15:02I don't know one tackle that just says,
15:03give me a Bull Rush.
15:04I love it.
15:05You know, the Bull Rushes are awful.
15:06Yeah, because you're setting for so much speed now.
15:08You know, inside moves, spin moves,
15:10and then a guy just goes and tries to stick his head
15:12right into your chest.
15:13It's awful.
15:14You've got to kick these defensive ends out of the game.
15:18It's the most pound impressive thing in football
15:22because today guys are 300 plus, 320 on the offensive line,
15:30especially if they're a left tackle
15:33protecting the quarterback's blind side.
15:38Defensive line...
15:39Defensive ends range from like 250 to 2...
15:42What?
15:43280.
15:45So...
15:47They're giving up anywhere between 40 to 70 pounds
15:51and they're running the guy over.
15:57Three times right on top of the quarterback.
15:59If you can start a game off
16:00and you can Bull Rush an offensive lineman,
16:02then your day is pretty easy
16:04because now you've taken away his greatest trip.
16:06And what I mean by that is most offensive linemen
16:08are taught when they're backing up
16:09to sit down on a defender when they start to engage.
16:13But if you take that away from him
16:14and get back and put him in the quarterback's lap,
16:16now he doesn't know how to block you
16:18and it opens up everything else.
16:20So I'm a big fan of the Bull Rush.
16:25When you talk about the Bull Rushers,
16:27you talk about the guys that are massive guys.
16:35I think of Reggie White.
16:45Those linemen have nightmares.
16:48They already knew
16:49there's one guy they could not block.
16:58You might not see the Bull Rush
17:00as often as the other plays on our countdown,
17:03but if you're lucky enough to witness one,
17:06you'll understand what makes
17:07our number seven football move so great.
17:16There's something that would be special
17:17about watching a defensive tackle
17:19just plow over a center
17:21and just go right to the quarterback.
17:22Bull Rushers, it's definitely a manly rush.
17:24Back to pass, he's under pressure
17:25and the Dolphins get him.
17:26People who don't understand football
17:28think every player is Bull Rushing
17:30every other player all the time.
17:32To the hardcore fan,
17:33they realize there are only a few
17:35truly good Bull Rushers a game,
17:37and when you spot them, it's a treat.
17:44The number six football move of all time,
17:48the jump cut.
17:51The jump cut is, it's sensational to see.
17:55Stutter stepping his way.
17:58That looked like something out of a video game.
18:01You know, it's one thing to see
18:03a guy with a great first step,
18:05with that great burst and acceleration,
18:07but to be able to stop on a dime
18:09and make that move,
18:11boy, that's a pretty thing to see.
18:12Oh, was that a thing of beauty?
18:17In filmmaking, a jump cut is an editing technique
18:20that deliberately breaks up
18:21the continuity of a scene.
18:24On the gridiron,
18:25our number six football move
18:27breaks the ankles of defenders.
18:29Hang on to your seats, ladies and gentlemen.
18:32McElhinney side-stepped one defender after another
18:35to go all the way.
18:37Whenever you used it,
18:38people didn't know exactly what to do.
18:41It would kind of make them stop.
18:42The cut happened,
18:43and as they approached where they thought
18:45you were going to be,
18:46the jump kind of threw them off.
18:48What an effort from Marshall Falk!
18:53Any time that you go up into a defender,
18:56if you see a guy leaning one way,
18:58you lean that way,
18:59and you cross back the other way
19:01to pull back to the other side.
19:03I use the jump cut
19:04to make him feel like he can
19:06just explode through me.
19:08He just gets ready.
19:10You know, it's one thing that you,
19:11you know, to get in the end zone.
19:12It's another thing
19:13where you try to make a guy look silly.
19:15He's got a carry across the 20.
19:16He's at the 15.
19:17He's at the 10.
19:18He's at the 5.
19:19He's in for the touchdown!
19:24That's nice.
19:25A jump cut seems like
19:27a simple shuffling of the feet,
19:29but it is a move
19:30that has been perfected
19:32by some of the all-time greats.
19:34Barry Sanders was good at it.
19:36Sometimes you just gotta look to the heavens
19:38and say, wow!
19:40I had to probably turn off
19:42the brain in certain ways
19:44and just, you know, react.
19:46Barry Sanders sets the bar.
19:48LaDainian Tomlinson has the best
19:49jump cut of the 2000s.
19:51He is driving him crazy.
19:54LT, get to the joystick!
19:57Hey, he puts the B button on him.
19:59LT owns the jump cut.
20:01You just get up,
20:02you land,
20:02and you're going just as fast.
20:04Chris Johnson's close,
20:05but LT owns the jump cut.
20:07LT has taken this game over.
20:11When I think of the jump cut,
20:12I think of Gale Sayers.
20:13I think of Gale Sayers
20:15going in midair
20:16and making the jump cut while in midair.
20:18That's how elusive he was.
20:20He would do a long step with his.
20:24Other guys keep their feet together,
20:27and there's nothing wrong with either one.
20:30He would do a long step with his ankle.
20:33Go this way,
20:34and his leg would still be there,
20:36kind of.
20:38But the guy was over here on the ground,
20:40the other guy.
20:40That's all I need.
20:41I saw him,
20:43an amoeba-like,
20:46or paracid,
20:48split
20:48into two things,
20:52and
20:52the defensive people
20:54went at the wrong one.
20:59For decades now,
21:01the jump cut has been
21:02embarrassing defensive players
21:04around the league.
21:05Now you made yourself
21:06and it's going to be a
21:07damn,
21:08I messed up.
21:09Although its true intention
21:11is to make people miss,
21:13this unique football tactic
21:15has struck a spot
21:16on our countdown
21:17as the number six football move
21:19of all time.
21:20Goes right,
21:21left and down,
21:22get to the ball
21:22in the Broncos.
21:23But those guys
21:24who can leave their feet,
21:25hit the ground,
21:26and bang,
21:27they're ten yards away from them.
21:29You thought you had them,
21:30but you're tackling air.
21:31You've got to be kidding me!
21:34No!
21:35When you have that
21:36as part of your game,
21:37I'm telling you,
21:38it makes defensive backs
21:39in space very nervous.
21:41And now,
21:42the number five football move
21:44of all time,
21:45the play-action pass.
21:47Number five.
21:48You want to make
21:49the play fake
21:49look exactly like
21:51the running play.
21:52Play-action pass.
21:53Hey, play-action pass.
21:54Our number five move
21:56requires slight of hand
21:57and a little acting ability.
22:00You've got to have
22:01some improvisational
22:02skills as a quarterback.
22:04And a play fake.
22:05Young goes deep middle.
22:06He's got Gary Rice.
22:07Touchdown 49ers!
22:09Yeah,
22:09if you do a play-action
22:10off-faking,
22:11it's important to be able
22:12to fake guys out.
22:13A nice play fake
22:14from Peyton Manning.
22:15Fooled the cameraman.
22:18The key to a play-action
22:20is between the quarterback
22:21and the running back.
22:22Those guys
22:22got to have a good match.
22:24You want the defenders
22:25to see the ball
22:25and see the ball
22:26go into the belly
22:27of the running back.
22:28Once you see
22:29that extension
22:31and you can see
22:32the ball,
22:33now it looks like
22:34for sure he's going
22:35to get it.
22:36Yeah!
22:36Then pull it back
22:37and hide it.
22:38That little moment
22:40of lollygagging.
22:42It's just like,
22:43ah,
22:44still got the football.
22:46Touchdown.
22:47fake this time.
22:48Fakes out everybody.
22:48Touchdown.
22:49He's got Sanders
22:50in the clear
22:50at the 10!
22:52Touchdown!
22:53Washington Redskins!
22:56As a running back,
22:57he has to make sure
22:57he crunches over the ball
22:59and act like he has the ball
23:01and continue to carry that out.
23:02You got to really read
23:03that play-action now.
23:05The linebackers
23:05with that,
23:06oh,
23:07crap moment.
23:08It's tough.
23:09Well,
23:09you're an aggressive player.
23:10It's tough.
23:10I'm coming up
23:11and then they pull it back out.
23:12Rodgers takes,
23:13fakes the handoff,
23:14going like left.
23:15He takes it in the end zone.
23:17You feel like such a jerk.
23:21Used to have guys
23:22like Steve DeBerg
23:23who was so effective
23:26in the play-action fake.
23:29Brett Favre,
23:30very, very good
23:31at play-action.
23:38You know,
23:39right now,
23:39Aaron Rodgers,
23:40a lot of his runs
23:42and passes
23:42seem like the same thing.
23:44You know,
23:44Tom Brady,
23:45I've seen him
23:46with some fakes
23:47that just really
23:48just kind of
23:49faked me out
23:49in the press box.
23:50Like,
23:51wait a minute,
23:51what did he just do?
23:53Boomer Esiase
23:54and my former teammate
23:56Boomer had a way
23:58of throwing that hand up
23:59as if,
24:00oh,
24:00I've already
24:00he's got the ball
24:01tucked in his belly.
24:03Eddie Brown
24:04running wide open.
24:08And if Boomer Esiase
24:10were able to perfect it,
24:12Peyton Manning
24:12has taken it
24:13to another level.
24:18You look at Peyton,
24:19you don't know
24:20if he's going to
24:20hand it to the kid
24:21or you don't know
24:21if he's going to
24:22fake it.
24:23What a sales job.
24:24Everybody bent.
24:25His mannerisms
24:26are the same.
24:27Peyton sells
24:28living daylights out of it.
24:32He's the puppy master
24:34right now.
24:36If you look at his steps
24:38on a running play
24:39and you look at his steps
24:40on a play-action fake,
24:42you wouldn't know
24:42the difference.
24:43Look at that.
24:44with the same action
24:45and the same look.
24:46Man.
24:47He's good.
24:49You knew what's coming.
24:52The number four
24:53football move of all time.
24:54The swim move.
24:56Number four.
24:58You know what the great
24:58thing about the swim move is?
25:00Yeah.
25:01You can swim move
25:02on your own.
25:04In the grocery store,
25:05subway,
25:05whatever you need.
25:06I think it's a little
25:07higher than this.
25:08Clyde right by you.
25:09It's very simple.
25:11Boom and over.
25:12I got quiet on
25:14playing the deck.
25:15That up and over,
25:16that swim move
25:17that we call it.
25:18Once you get up and over,
25:20you're on the quarterback
25:21immediately.
25:22He's seen
25:22by Kevin Williams.
25:24But it doesn't just work
25:25for any talented player.
25:27That's why it's too
25:27on the list.
25:29It doesn't,
25:29it doesn't,
25:30you,
25:31it can't,
25:31it doesn't work as well
25:32if you're not that tall.
25:33If you're not
25:346'4 or something,
25:37or you go up against
25:38a guy who's 6'8,
25:40it doesn't work that well.
25:47If you can get that arm
25:48over the top,
25:48you're free.
25:50The number four move
25:51on our list
25:52is used in hand-to-hand
25:54struggles
25:54where one player
25:55must get past another.
26:00Come on, man!
26:00Come on, man!
26:03It just gets them
26:04behind you.
26:05It's a great technique.
26:06I'll probably swim it.
26:08What?
26:08If they say,
26:09I'm a swimmer.
26:10Most coaches
26:11will teach you
26:11if you're going to swim,
26:12you want it against
26:13a guy that's small.
26:14Any other lineman?
26:16Unless you're taller
26:17than the guy,
26:18forget to swim.
26:20Swimming was not
26:21really my move.
26:21That's for those
26:22taller guys.
26:23You had to be able
26:24to put your arm
26:25over his head
26:25and swim.
26:26Hey, what's
26:27Redding's move?
26:28Jack's had swim,
26:29right?
26:29I'm not sure
26:30that height
26:30has anything to do
26:31with it.
26:32I think it's tenacity.
26:33I think it's technique.
26:34I think it's being relentless.
26:38Oh, that's on gates?
26:40Jeez.
26:41When you're swimming,
26:42you're exposing
26:43your upper body.
26:44You're exposing
26:44all of the effort
26:45in the block.
26:46Offense linemen are so good.
26:48Right when you swim,
26:48we hit you right in the ribs.
26:50Look at those nasty linemen kids.
26:51If your offensive linemen
26:52pick you
26:53and that swim move,
26:55he's going to drive you
26:56right off the plate.
26:57Young players must learn
26:59when not to swim.
27:01Just take all the air
27:03out of you
27:03if they get you right.
27:06See, look.
27:07When you swim
27:09and went backside,
27:10the hole's too big.
27:13See, when you swim
27:14and went backside,
27:15the hole's too big.
27:17There was a big hole
27:18where he should have been.
27:20Many of the NFL's
27:21best defenders
27:22have mastered
27:23the swim move.
27:25At least a low-t-nut
27:26that I learned.
27:27Simeon Rice.
27:29Because he was so tall,
27:30he was 6'6",
27:31he could swim
27:32offensive linemen.
27:34Three-step drop,
27:35Gannon looking under.
27:36Nice.
27:36Simeon Rice.
27:37Gannon did not have a chance
27:39to pull the trigger.
27:41I got it, man.
27:42That's the way to hit it, man.
27:43It can block that.
27:44I don't care about
27:45his swimming
27:46in the Super Bowl.
27:48I want to see him
27:49swim into the pool
27:50of Hall of Famers.
27:54That's what I want.
27:55I'm talking to the voters here.
27:59Akin Blocker.
28:00Good penetrating
28:01offensive tackles
28:01usually end up
28:02mixing as fun
28:03as every now and then.
28:04Remember John Randall
28:05used to get in that gap
28:06and kind of swung
28:07over?
28:08Kevin Williams
28:09of the Vikings.
28:10He is a great embodiment
28:11of what a swim move
28:12involves.
28:13Power and agility.
28:20When you say swim,
28:23I think of Bruce Smith.
28:25Some guys can only
28:25swim one way.
28:26Bruce Smith can do
28:27it either direction.
28:28He can go from
28:29right-handed to left-handed
28:30and he can do it smooth.
28:32Big Bruce had a nasty swim,
28:35but three moves
28:36ranked higher.
28:37Find out which one's
28:38made the cut
28:39when Top Ten
28:40Football Movers
28:40returns.
28:46The number three
28:47football move
28:48of all time,
28:49the tilt-tap catch.
28:53Touchdown!
28:54What a catch!
28:55You're talking about
28:56right when the pass
28:57is going out of bounds
28:58and the person
28:59sticks his hands out
29:00and has awareness
29:01of where he is
29:02on the field
29:02and he keeps his feet
29:03inbounds.
29:04What a spectacular catch!
29:06And that's a beautiful play.
29:08And what a catch!
29:09Think about it.
29:10The ball's coming
29:11in the air
29:11and you've got to
29:12basically look
29:13to catch the ball
29:14with your hands
29:15but also use
29:16your peripheral vision
29:16to find the line
29:18that you know
29:19you can't cross
29:20or you're out of bounds.
29:21And then the body control
29:22to keep your feet
29:24in a certain position
29:25so all your momentum
29:27is not running
29:27out of bounds.
29:28How did he come up
29:29with that?
29:29It's a very difficult thing.
29:33NFL receivers
29:34are known for shining
29:35in the spotlight
29:36and the dexterity
29:37and coordination
29:38required to pull off
29:39a toe-tap catch
29:40makes our number
29:42three football move
29:43praiseworthy.
29:45number one
29:46they're still athletic
29:46with their hands
29:47they're going to work
29:48and then their
29:49concentration can be
29:50on getting the foot in.
29:52Because realistically
29:53it could be called
29:54a toe-drag
29:55or like a half
29:56a toe-drag.
29:57I like when they
29:58like a literal
29:59toe-tap
30:00like the one-two
30:01the one-two
30:03and you know
30:04it's inbounds
30:05you know it's
30:05a touchdown
30:06if it's in
30:08the end zone
30:09you just
30:10one-two
30:11as they go
30:12across these
30:12sidelines
30:13not the back
30:14of the end zone.
30:16That's a real
30:17that's the best
30:18toe-tap to me.
30:26I think that
30:27kind of
30:28move that
30:29sends a message
30:30to the officials
30:31to the referees
30:32hey I got it right
30:33and don't you dare
30:34try to say
30:35I didn't make this
30:36catch without
30:37getting both feet
30:37inbound.
30:38See we're all
30:40seeing the team
30:40to tap
30:41I teach them
30:41to drag the back
30:42foot
30:42because I think
30:43if you can
30:43kick up the dirt
30:44dragging
30:45has a better
30:45effect on the
30:46official
30:47than on the
30:47sideline.
30:52Thousands of
30:53hands and
30:54thousands of
30:55feet have come
30:56through the NFL
30:56over the years
30:57but who reigns
30:58as the top
30:59dog of the
31:00toe-tap?
31:01I think of
31:02Randy Moss
31:02I think of all
31:03of those one
31:04hand grabs
31:05they can't
31:06jump with me
31:06golly
31:07Marvin Harrison
31:08to me is
31:09spectacular
31:10his body control
31:12first of all
31:12but his level
31:13of concentration
31:14is incredible
31:14holy mackerel
31:16what a catch
31:16by the great
31:17one Marvin Harrison
31:18and a lot of
31:19guys can't do that
31:20the guy that
31:21comes to mind
31:21with those
31:22one hand catches
31:22staying inbounds
31:23Chris Carter
31:24how in the world
31:25would he stay
31:25inbounds?
31:26toe-tap catch
31:27I think of
31:28Chris Carter
31:29the way he can
31:30stick them
31:33then just fall
31:34over into the
31:34sidelines after that
31:35Chris Carter
31:36is a toe-tap
31:37kick
31:38I pretty much
31:39can figure out
31:39how many steps
31:40it's gonna take
31:41how long the
31:41ball has been
31:42in the air
31:42what kind of
31:43move I put
31:43on the defender
31:44I know how
31:44much space
31:45I have
31:45get my feet
31:46inbounds
31:47stretched out
31:48you know
31:48almost horizontal
31:57toe-tap
31:58on a sideline
31:59or in the end
31:59zone
32:02certainly
32:04it's three steps
32:05catch the ball
32:09ball
32:10toes inbounds
32:13retain possession
32:16is one of
32:17great artistry
32:18our number three
32:19football move
32:20is more than
32:21just a clever way
32:22for a receiver
32:23to gain some yards
32:24to sum a toe-tap
32:26catch is a
32:27sideline performance
32:28that transcends
32:29display of
32:30athleticism into
32:31a work of art
32:32wide receivers
32:33are the ballerinas
32:34on the football field
32:36they have to have
32:37the most control
32:38the most balance
32:39they are the most
32:40graceful players
32:44that's where we get
32:45the comparison
32:46I think
32:46of this like
32:48being a ballet
32:49poetry in motion
32:50I mean if you
32:51were to go
32:51to the nutcracker
32:53and watch it
32:53and give everybody
32:54helmets and shoulder
32:55pads
32:55maybe you'd see
32:56similar types
32:57of moves
32:58wow
32:59that's amazing
33:02that's the precision
33:03that we're looking
33:04for in dancing
33:04with a move
33:06that Mikhail Baryshnikov
33:08could make
33:09tiptoes
33:09the back of the
33:10end zone
33:11for the TD
33:13great move
33:14good move
33:15very
33:16nice
33:16number two
33:19the pancake
33:23what's better than
33:24a pancake block
33:24first of all
33:25pancakes are delicious
33:27pancake
33:28you have been
33:29put on your
33:30back
33:31floundering
33:32like a turtle
33:33wagging his
33:34legs
33:35trying to get
33:35over on the
33:36other side
33:36wow
33:37now that's
33:37some power
33:38he just takes
33:39him back
33:39and he folds
33:40him like a
33:41tent
33:43and you see
33:43most of the time
33:44when that happens
33:44they try to
33:45hurry up and get
33:45up
33:47like nobody's
33:48seen him get
33:48pancaked
33:49but guess what
33:50the camera's
33:51rolling
33:51and somebody
33:52saw him
33:53and you say
33:54stuff like
33:54would you like
33:55some syrup
33:55to go with
33:56your pancake
33:56and stuff
33:57like that
34:00if you knock
34:01a defender
34:02down to the
34:02ground
34:03whether it's
34:03a cut block
34:04or a pancake
34:05you are doing
34:06damage to them
34:07every time
34:07they have to
34:08get up
34:08every time
34:08they have to
34:09get up
34:09again
34:09that takes
34:10a toll
34:10on them
34:11in the
34:11fourth quarter
34:16keep your head up
34:17alright
34:18that's an
34:18embarrassment
34:19for a defensive
34:20player
34:21I might have
34:22even voted
34:22at number
34:22one
34:26one
34:28that's an offensive
34:28defensive
34:28line
34:29player
34:29is all
34:29about
34:29leverage
34:30I wonder
34:31that's an
34:31offensive player
34:32and Greg
34:32Buttle
34:32saying that
34:34your pancake
34:35the easiest way
34:36to do it
34:36is to stand
34:37up
34:39there is
34:39there is
34:40nothing
34:40an offensive
34:40lineman
34:41loves more
34:42than
34:42dishing
34:43on a
34:43serving
34:43of our
34:44number
34:44two
34:44movement
34:47it's
34:47probably
34:47the most
34:48gratifying
34:49feeling
34:49especially
34:50at this
34:50level
34:50to be able
34:51to put
34:51another
34:52professional
34:52football player
34:53right on
34:53their back
34:53when they're
34:54trying to
34:54make the
34:54play
34:54boom
34:55he's down
34:56and you're
34:56on top of
34:57him
34:57and he's
34:58flat
34:58all you need
34:59is pour
34:59syrup on
35:00him
35:00it's so
35:01embarrassing
35:02and they're
35:03not getting
35:03up fast
35:03that's crazy
35:04but
35:04big old
35:05belly
35:06slowly
35:06get up
35:12hey
35:12get off
35:15and we
35:15grab it
35:16get off
35:17look at
35:17him
35:20you did
35:21a hell of a
35:21job yesterday
35:22got a couple
35:23pancakes
35:24even
35:25pancake
35:26blocks
35:26would be
35:26a way
35:26to give
35:27statistics
35:27to an
35:28offensive
35:28lineman
35:29but it
35:29can be
35:30difficult
35:30because you
35:31have to
35:31decide
35:31what
35:31constitutes
35:32a pancake
35:33block
35:33sometimes
35:34the defender
35:34actually slips
35:35first and that's
35:36what leads to
35:37the pancake
35:37if the guy
35:39doesn't see you
35:39coming
35:40not that hard
35:41to pancake
35:41blocks
35:42I mean
35:42you weigh
35:42300 pounds
35:43the best pancake
35:47blocks are the
35:47ones like
35:48right off the
35:49line
35:49just
35:50plow over
35:51a defensive
35:52line
35:56that's a
35:56pancake block
35:58a lot of the
35:59best ones come
35:59from running
36:00backs
36:01and because a
36:02block is all
36:03about leverage
36:04it's the shorter
36:05players that
36:06really get the best
36:06pancake blocks
36:13it's like
36:15I'm a beast
36:16you know
36:17I got me some
36:18pancakes today
36:20everybody gets
36:21pancaked every now
36:22and then
36:22I wonder if
36:23Warren Sack
36:24would admit that
36:24sorry Warren
36:26we have it on
36:27film
36:27but as any
36:29NFL veteran
36:29should know
36:30you always need
36:31a good excuse
36:32for pancaking
36:37my damn
36:37ankle keep
36:38giving out
36:39I've probably
36:40been knocked
36:40on my butt
36:41a few times
36:41but I will
36:42never admit
36:42that I've been
36:43pancakes
36:44and now
36:45the number one
36:46football move
36:47of all time
36:47the stiff arm
36:49stiff arm
36:50I like the stiff arm
36:51you know what
36:52getting that arm
36:53right into the
36:53guy's face
36:54and driving it
36:55back
36:55check out
36:56the stiff arm
36:57when you pick up
36:58Madden from
36:59you say
36:59what buttons
37:00has a stiff arm
37:01everybody knows
37:01the stiff arm
37:03stiff arm
37:04is the number
37:05one move
37:05they fashioned
37:06the Heisman
37:06trophy after
37:07this signature
37:08move
37:08it is classic
37:09the quintessential
37:10football pose
37:11that you always
37:12see
37:13you can't say
37:14oh you got
37:14straight arm
37:15or I got
37:15straight arm
37:16stiff arm
37:17you got stiff
37:17you got stopped
37:18you got dissed
37:24football is a sport
37:26based on
37:26confrontation
37:27and this is
37:28best symbolized
37:29by our number
37:30one football move
37:31of all time
37:31the stiff arm
37:33the good stiff arm
37:34for the ones
37:35where you like
37:35stiff arm the guy
37:36and he falls down
37:37when he sticks
37:37that big paw
37:38out there
37:39you are in trouble
37:39it's kind of like
37:40that old cartoon
37:41where you see
37:42the bully
37:42holding the little
37:43guy's head
37:44and he's swinging
37:45away and swinging
37:45away and he can't
37:46get him
37:46I think that's
37:47very similar
37:47to what the stiff
37:48arm does
37:49you got me
37:50with a little stiff
37:50man
37:52you're embarrassed
37:54but you still
37:54have to play the game
37:55you don't really
37:56get the ridicule
37:57until you get back
37:58in film study
37:58the coach is going
37:59to make an example
38:01out of you
38:02the teammates
38:02are going to make
38:03an example
38:03out of you
38:03talk about how
38:04bad you look
38:05use that stiff arm
38:06boy
38:06I mean Adrian Peterson
38:11can just hurt people
38:12with a stiff arm
38:13I'd love to watch him
38:15show you the power
38:16the guy that I thought
38:17was the best at it
38:19is Walter Payton
38:20hands down
38:20you can coach
38:21you can teach
38:22with his stiff arm
38:23that's Walter Payton
38:23he used it
38:24he was able to run over you
38:25he was able to run around you
38:27and he was able to stiff arm
38:28that's another form
38:30that's a stiff arm
38:31but where do you draw the line
38:33between what is a good football move
38:35and what is an excessive use of force
38:39what is his
38:40I hate that
38:43that defense
38:45that you can't touch
38:46anybody
38:46that face mask
38:47but they can stiff arm
38:48you
38:48I hate them
38:50a running back
38:52can blast a guy
38:53in the head
38:54with his hand
38:55as a stiff arm
38:56but if that same guy
38:58did that to him
38:59it would be a penalty
38:59something's wrong with that
39:01and they shot that guy
39:02like it was a 10 seed fly
39:04to me the stiff arm
39:05is like the last piece
39:07of legalized
39:08outright violence
39:09that nobody pays
39:10any attention to
39:10what a stiff arm
39:12actually is
39:13it's a violent punch
39:14to the face
39:15and that's why we like it
39:16you just take the body
39:17of your hand
39:17and you try to break
39:18the other guy's nose
39:19I saw Willis McGay
39:21give a stiff arm
39:22in Oakland
39:23a couple of years ago
39:24and just sweep down
39:25a safety
39:26and then ran 50 yards
39:27into the end zone
39:28that wasn't a stiff arm
39:29that was just a punch
39:30that knocked him
39:31about 5 yards
39:32hewitt Dixon
39:33knocked him about 8 yards
39:34the stiff arm
39:35used to be boom
39:36hewitt Dixon
39:37stiff arm
39:37boom
39:41boom
39:43try and make a tackle
39:44and catch him
39:44right under the chin
39:45instead of pushing him down
39:46he'd hurt you
39:47boom
39:48and I can't believe
39:49more guys don't do that
39:50I think it's
39:50a beautiful technique
39:54a timeless technique
39:56that is just as effective today
39:58as it ever was
39:59the stiff arm
40:01is football's
40:02number one move
40:03it's beautiful
40:04it's devastating
40:05it's physical
40:06it's all those things
40:07wrapped into one
40:10everyone
40:10has a stiff arm move
40:12even defensive linemen
40:13after coming up
40:14with a fumble
40:15or an interception
40:16have a stiff arm move
40:17he just shoved Humphreys
40:18he kept him at bay
40:20and Humphreys didn't want
40:21anything to do with it
40:22there cannot be
40:23a fantastic run
40:25without a stiff arm
40:27I mean look at
40:27Marshawn Lynch
40:28against the Saints
40:29with that stiff arm
40:30on Porter
40:3140
40:32pushes the man
40:3345
40:33look at him go
40:34and another
40:35one of the greatest runs ever
40:36Garrison Hurst
40:37against the Jets
40:38across the 20
40:40down the sidelines
40:4130
40:41the one thing
40:42those plays had in common
40:44they both featured
40:45devastating stiff arms
40:47he's gonna go
40:48he's gonna go
40:50to the 10
40:50number 5
40:51into the end zone
40:53touchdown Seahawks
40:55that's what you call
40:56a closer
40:58like that
40:59and to the 79
40:59up
40:59OK
40:59and
40:59as
41:00can
