As soon as I saw “read him like a book” I knew a lot of them would be Polamalu That interception on the goal line wasn’t just the end of the game it was the end of the Super Bowl
Those long luscious locks (thank you, Head and Shoulders brand shampoo 🧴) hide his name badge well, but I think the Hall of Famer would prefer if we call him something closer to “Polamalu.” 😉
Boy you didn't even get close to spelling his name right 😂
@@jd3thegreat ya didn’t Google jt
Edited - all good! ✌️👍
@@Darmesis nooo now i want to know how you spelled it at first
Dave was right, it was 43 Troy Polamalu again. Five plays of Troy's so far here. You should definitely do a Polamalu highlights vid. The guy was a GOAT legend. He played safety, a position we saw a lot of in this footage.
There are two safetys on the field (Fress Safety and Strong Safety), who will play deep on pass plays, and will come up as run support when needed (hence why Troy was always up and jumping the line in this vid). They see a lot of action, and a Troy vid would give you a chance to see all the work a safety is expected to do, by one of the best to do it.
Ya safeties have to be the most versatile defensive players on the field imo. They have to fulfill every role depending on the situation. Short pass defense, long pass defense, linebacker support, d-line support, they’re the jack of all trades of the defense. Takes a really talented player to do either role well.
Troy Polamalu, the long-haired guy, was also featured in the previous video ("Where did he come from?") jumping over the center and doing a full backflip. That was a penalty, but his famous move that you keep seeing here is guessing what the quarterback's snap count is and timing it perfectly to get in the backfield before he can be blocked.
Trying to explain Troy to people who didn't get to see him play is weird for me. It's like he came out of nowhere and was one of the best defensive players in the league and then just disappeared a few years later.
But during his run he was on a different level
Yep, and people don't realize how risky what he's doing is. If he's wrong, the encroachment penalty is painful. High risk high reward move.
Wrong, it wasn't Troy in the last video. That was Mike Mitchell, number 23. Troy wouldn't have done that when the game was over and the other team was just kneeling the clock out. Troy had a brain.
Go to 10:10 of that previous vid.
Amazing how many upvotes a factually incorrect comment can get. Goes to show why this world is doomed.
@@TheSRC88 I think injuries shortened his career because of the risks he took. He was a beast though.
@@TheSRC88 what do you mean disappeared a few years later?
When Bill Belichick said the play made by Ed Reed was the greatest play he's ever seen by a free safety, he wasn't joking around. Ed was being humble in that moment but coming from Bill, that's about the highest praise you can get.
Bill Belichick isn’t as good as we use to think. He’s just an average coach that had the luxury of the best quarterback of all time play for him
@@BA_1002 BB just took a rookie QB to the playoffs with absolute nobodies at receiver and runningback. What are you talking about?
43 is Troy Polamalu for the Steelers. He was one of the greatest defensive players of all time and was a 1st ballot Hall of Famer
Yes....absolutely do a Troy P. Highlight reaction...he was phenomenal....his highlights are amazing if you love just instinctive players.....he knew how to time the Offense...he read QB's like a book.
I don't care who your favorite team is, everyone loved to watch Troy Polamalu. Dude was a walking defensive highlight reel!!
Y’all don’t even know how GREAT TROY POLAMALU was in terms of studying the game and instincts and on top of all his humility. Dude played like a Warrior and spoke like Michael Jackson lol
U guys should watch highlights of Troy Polamalu, the Steeler with the long hair.
Damn right that was Troy Polamalu with the long hair. That man's hair was like a cape. He was probably the greatest defensive player ever in the NFL. His play instincts are legendary. He could read any play. More than often when the Steelers needed a defensive play, he was the guy to do it. He would gamble, but anyone who has played will tell you its a gamble everytime but for him 60 to 70% of the time he was right.
He doesn’t beat Lawrence Taylor. Man was a beast and had to be accounted for. Troy is a legend in his own right but everyone knew where LT was. Or had better figure it out.
Easily, been watching football since the 70s and I'd pick Polamalu first before any of the other "greats" in the game.
Troy Polamany was amazing. One of the best to play the game. Y'all should react to one of his highlight videos. He always seemed to be in the perfect spot at the perfect time. Highly intelligent player
Polamalu's instincts were unrivaled. He would say in interviews God told him where to be and honestly i believe him with how often he was right! What an absolutely ELECTRIC player to watch!
For the last play, Renfroe is a WR who punt returns not a CB. He's one of the smartest players in the league
Troy Polamalu was a beast. Such a great player. Just a reminder guys. Oct 9th. NY Giants vs GB Packers in London. Tottenham Hotspur stadium. P.S. It wasn't Polamalu in the other video. That was #23. I think that was Mike Mitchell back then. The announcer says it was a Troy Polamalu type play.
Those Polamalu jumping plays are so impressive because he’s not just jumping over the pile he has to time it perfectly or gets called for penalty.
8:50 keep in mind that, at the time, Donald Jones (the receiver) was 180 lb. The guy who hit him was Vince Wilfork who was roughly 425 lb. at the time and unblocked. Jones fractured ribs and had whiplash from the hit.
Polamalu was absolutely amazing. He read things so well they let him roam around on his own accord and make plays.
Please react to more Troy Polamalu Highlights, top 3 Free Safety’s of all time
What makes the Polamalu plays on here so great is that he's not supposed to be so close to the line (well he can but not topical). He actually plays for in the backfield. That's why these plays are so great
Troy Polamalu would be a great reaction video, fantastic safety for the steelers.
Troy Polamalu was one of the greatest players in NFL history. I'm not a Steelers fan, but I would watch Steelers games just to see him do his thing. He was involved in almost every single play. Almost every tackle, you'd see those perfect strands of hair waving in the wind.
Watching the blokes react to NFL while watching the preseason in the background is 👌😁
Steelers won all preseason games, that doesn't bode well lol. Here's to seeing how this regular season plays out
To truly appreciate what's happening in all these reactions videos, it's best to actually watch a whole game. You will learn alot just by watching an entire game.
Polamalu was one of those guys who affected plays either really well or very poorly. It was either he made a great play or he'd get burned badly.
Troy Polamalu was such an animal. Off the field. He is the most meek and mild individual full of humility. Almost the complete opposite of nearly all NFL phenoms if we're being honest
Y’all should react to some Troy Polamalu highlights. He was one of the greatest safety’s to ever play
You guys should react to Deestroying's videos. They have 1 on 1 matchups between receivers and defensive backs. You can see what goes into route running and how hard it is to cover some of these top receivers. Plus you will love the trash talking they do. It gives you a close up look of kind of what its like on the field.
Polamalu has done that time after time after time lol coaches on other teams hated him because he was always straight to the ball quick no matter what and pretty much unstoppable. Has some of the best interceptions in NFL history, actually his "The finger tip interception" is known as being the greatest interception. That's why he's known as one of the greatest free safties in NFL history. By far the greatest IMO also haha
A bunch of people have said it already, but I'll agree, you guys should watch a Troy Palomalu highlight compilation. Dave was right when he asked if the guy with the hair was the same one from the earlier play. He's a legend. Just had a sense beyond anyone else on the field. Very few guys ever at that level.
Thanks for the update on Mike. Best wishes on a speedy recovery.🤣
The Troy Palamao (sp?) (Steelers #43), jumping, you guys nailed it. There is a perfect example of Lawrence Taylor doing that and the QB did not snap the ball, so he flies over the top and lands on the QB and the ball is still not snapped - It was a penalty but had to be hard for the QB to just sit there and take it. Another bit to that is the Off. Linemen cannot move. If they even flinch it could be called a "False Start. They want to protect the QB but are completely helpless to that move. It's a gamble. Steelers #43 Troy Palamawhatever is retired.
@16:48 actually he was the punt returner n back to receive the punt. So he had to see it’s a fake then react to it n come up n make that play. N he’s actually a receiver himself.
Watching Bill Belichick talk football, on the ‘NFL Top 100’ show, is one of the most interesting watches for an avid football fan… Love or hate him, there’s no denying that he’s a wealth of football knowledge unlike any other… In his, now infamous, press briefings, he comes off so dry, and sullen…, but get him talking about history, and great players/plays, and he will entertain like no one else can. In that clip of him extolling the greatness of Ed Reed, is just a magic moment. Best part of the video…
Rest assured "come back to the ******* ball!" Gets yelled at least once during every receivers meeting across the country.
In my mind a lot of these are like when I played soccer, you don’t wait for the ball if it’s passed to you, you move to the ball & win it. A little different in football but the defense knows the pass is coming & step out in front of the offense to win the ball
Should come with a warning: Don't watch if you're one of the Manning brothers, LOL
Troy polamalu is one of the best to ever do it. Most safeties are not known by the average fan, Troy polamalu and ed reed changed that. Absolute monsters
I was explaining this video to my wife, and she just now realized that the defense runs plays and doesn't just line up and chase the ball around. I think you Office Blokes already knew this, but if not, now you know.
Dave was correct in saying the first play and the play where he jumped over the offensive line to make the tackle were the same guy. Troy Polamalu of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Born in Garden Grove, CA where I live. Troy is a human highlight reel all by himself.
4:01 it was him.
That segment with ed read where he got that pick he did a text book "speed turn"
An 18 minute office blokes nfl video? Let’s go .
Imagine the number of games you have to had played (from grade school - to university - to pros) to be able to recognize and capitalize on a defensive advantage, which is in addition to, stopping a professional offense. Similar to the NBA bottom row difference video - guys like former Pittsburg Steeler Troy Polamalu are just on another level.
That last clip was a special teams play hunter renfrow was punt returning other team faked the punt and ran a pass play and Renfrow blew up there play!
"Is that the same guy from the first one?"
"I don't think so...."
It was.
"It's just ... the long hair..."
"Not sure it was the same team... "
It was.
9:47 Grumpy Bill Belichick acting like a normal human being and not like Emperor Palpatine for once.
As soon as I saw the concept of the vid, I knew Polamalu was gonna be heavily featured
ITS FOOTBALL SEASON !🏈
"OFFICE BLOKES LEARN an NFL PLAY "
React to Football 101 Counter by weekly spiral
This is one of the best nfl videos you have picked
Palomalu was awesome, but you're right. He was à gambler. He'd get burnt sometimes. But was an all time great playmaker
Steelers teammates used to say polamalu had Jesus in his helmet telling him where to go before it happens
Obviously, American Football, like Rugby, has it's basis in Association Football. That is why we call it soccer over here, cause to distinguish between Rugby Football and Association Football, people started saying Ruggers and the far more popular Soccers. I just like that it all started in the 5th Century, with Saxon Warriors, kicking severed heads at trees. Btw, I was a goalie, and they say, 'a goalie can train any field position, but no field player can truly train a goalie. Y'all bring me moments of joy. Thanks!
The hit Luke Kuechly made on Demaryius Thomas in the Super Bowl was unfortunately the hit that led to his demise. RIP DT🧡
You could make a whole video like this of just Troy Polamalu
Now you boys are getting into the X’s and O’s 🤘🤘
yeah polamalu had some of the best instincts ever
Blowing up a play after blitzing non touched is a great feeling.
Would love to see you react to the NFL 100 Super Bowl commercial, it’s fun to watch with all those legends in it. There’s also one that stops and slows on each player and shows their name because it’s pretty fast paced and there are a LOT of great players, past and present, including Barry Sanders 😉
It’s a timed linebacker blitz. He has to study the QBs calls for the snap and guess right.
4:39 and 6:54 were plays that clinched victory in the Super Bowl. In the 2nd one, quarterback Peyton Manning lost to the team his quarterback father played for, New Orleans.
You guys should check out Legion of boom highlights. They were the Seattle Seahawks defense from about 2012 to 2015ish. The 2013 defense was arguably the best defense in history and were a lot of fun to watch.
my boy TROY POLAMALUUU! LEGEND FR!
Polamalu is arguably one of the best strong safeties ever..
TP might have been one of the smartest defensive players ever
Please react to Pat Mcafee and the Troy Polamalu c-gap incident please. it's hysterical.
That wasn't just the end of any old game at 4:37, that was the end of the super bowl. The Patriots won the championship on that one play.
I hate the Steelers, but can never get enough of clips of Baby Jesus.
good video the problem is with this type of video is that unless your a big nfl fan and understand the defense and offense aspect in depth with plays and forations and what the job of the individual player is during that play itself then you wont realize "woah that was insane that he read it like that" these smart well versed and studied athleetes that made that read and made the play.
No doubt it’s been suggested, but all you newbie NFL watchers should be watching “Hard Knocks: Training Camp With the Detroit Lions” on HBO.
Every year interesting, but this one’s been a great watch with Detroit’s entertaining coaches (and rookie “talent shows”). ✌️🏈
"Read him like a book" defense plays is why good quarterbacks look off their intended receivers as long as possible and change the snap count so the defense doesn't play based on the cues the offense is giving them. When the QB changes the snap count on a random play...or goes for a "hard count" of yelling what the defense thinks is the snap word...the defensive line might jump offsides thinking the ball is being snapped, and the offense gets an easy five yards on a penalty.
The downside is that there are times that the offensive players can be just as confused as the defense, and get called for a false start when they weren't paying attention in the huddle as to what the snap count or word was going to be.
One of yall needs to pick the Arizona Cardinals. It would be an honor to have one of you in the bird gang
troy palamalu did a bunch of shampoo commercials
THAT’S POLAMALU, BRO!!
Are you guys going to do any watch parties for NFL or college games this coming season?
You guys need to do a Polamalu highlight reel.
Yeah Buddy! Gotta love them Raiders 🏴☠️🔥
Im genuinely worried about Mike lol
That's funny--come to the effing ball! That is what coaches in all sports say--I played basketball and that was rule 1 when a pass is to you---same in American football--come back to the ball--don't wait for it.
React to football touchdown celebrations 🙃
Troy Polamalu was my favorite player. I have his jersey.
You guys have to do a best of Troy Polamalu video you'll love it
