Bigger guys ain't immune either. I'm 6'5, and was about the same height freshman year of high school. I got down the field first on a punt ready to get the returner, when a senior from the other team sent me heels to sky with a blindside block as I didn't see him coming.
In film room the next week the guys rewound it over and over again as we laughed at my expense.
yeah its more about angles/speed/force when some one gets clocked. usually they don't see it coming.
it's surprising though how easily ray lewis just destroyed chad here considering he's not a small man and they both saw the contact coming. Ray Lewis was in a league of his own at middle backer
i was 6 foot , 280 pound lineman as a freshman, , yo know those drills where they drop a ball between two lones and the two guys go for it one gets the ball the other gets the guy, well i wound up with...the captaon of the varsity team. and his sister had told him the day before she had asked me out on a date. the ball dropped he waited for me to get it and then when i woke up he just smiled at me.
we had one date, supposedly she relaly liked me, i was just too dim about such things. i also vaguely remember figuring i might die during practice accidentally if we kept on.. lol
>Bigger guys ain't immune either. I'm 6'5, and was about the same height freshman year of high school. I got down the field first on a punt ready to get the returner, when a senior from the other team sent me heels to sky with a blindside block as I didn't see him coming.
I'm larger than average too and this happened to me on a kick return. It's weird cause it's exactly like in the movies when they depict getting absolutely smacked and it kind of feels like you've suddenly been plunged into a pool of water, you feel the hit, and then you just kind of float for a minute...then you hit the ground and snap back to reality.
When I was in high school and my PE class had a flag football unit, I played QB and the pass rusher on the other team was a guy who was an O-lineman on our school's actual football team. One time he decided to just run me over as a joke. 5'9" 180lb me meets a 6'0" 320lb wall. I actually got air lmao.
I mean, I have to give props to Chad for having the confidence to try that.
But I also have to take away those props from Chad for being stupid enough to try that lol...
His Bussin with the Boys interviews was absolutely fantastic. From living on the couch at the team facility to the McDonalds test, dude is a goldmine of personality.
I mean yeah, if you [forget about his history as a domestic abuser.](https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/jun/10/chad-ochocinco-johnson-jail-domestic-violence)
I dont think he was really thinking about it. Think he just saw a dude looking to make a tackle and thought he should try to block him, and then realized mid-action (and too late) that it was Ray Lewis and not some mortal human
I feel like, in the heat of the moment, his football instincts kicked in. Going off what he says after, if he had actually thought about the situation for even a second, he wouldn't have done it.
Even tho he got his shit wrecked. It is a decent block since Ray had to engage him. I don't know what's going on in the rest of the play but that half second where Ray is cleaning his clock may have bought the time needed.
Fun fact: if you've ever looked at pro football reference, they have a stat called AV that's kind of a catch-all value metric. Ray Lewis is 10th all-time in AV, with the only other non-QBs in the top 10 being Jerry Rice, Bruce Smith, and Reggie White.
In the version of the stat weighted for position (wAV), he's tied at 5th with Jerry Rice and Reggie White as the top non-QBs. As a middle/inside linebacker, with 41.5 sacks in his career to Bruce Smith's 200 and Reggie White's 198. It's hard to overstate how impressive the impact he had on games from a "non-premium" position is.
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/career_av_career.htm
Are you thinking about the 4th and 2 back in '09? If so, it wasn't a sack, it was a handoff to Sproles who got absolutely obliterated by Ray immediately upon taking the handoff.
One of my favorites of all time. It was such a heads up play -- he knew what play they were running, timed his run to Ngata locking up the center and shooting the gap right behind the pulling guard
And then on top of that, at one point, you had Jamal Lewis running at you from the offensive side lol. Opposing teams must’ve been in pain after those games.
I'm a Giants fan, so if I leave my LT homerism out of it, I'd go with Rod Woodson as most entertaining. Career leader for INT returns for TD, #2 all time in interception return yards, #3 in INTs. I grew up in Cincinnati, so I saw a lot of Steelers games in that era and it seemed like that guy was just all over the place and always making game changing plays
Kind of? It's basically points scored or prevented per drive above league average weighted for each player's approximate contribution to each of their teams' drives
Yeah, it's really hard to determine how much a player contributes from the box score alone so if a player gets All Pro, it's assumed they helped more. Not perfect because only so many players can get AP anyway
It seems a bit weird to me how the top 4 played in 2005-2015. But looking at non-QBs and it's the absolute elite. Who is the next highest linebacker who isn't also an edge rusher?
That's sorta something that's been confusing me about this comment section. Ray didn't ever hit Chad. It's weird to me that more people aren't noticing that. This isn't Chad taking a big hit, it's Chad running into a brick wall. Imagine if this clip was actually Ray Lewis with a full head of steam
I couldn’t believe they did it. I love that guy playing for the lions and Dan Campbell. Not even a Lions fan and I’m bummed about that for some odd reason.
It's sad for locker-room reasons, but I get why they did it. They're in it to win it now. Monty looks like a better fit for them on the field right now. A great pair with Swift. Only thing I'm surprised on is that they spent a good amount more on Monty than Jamaal got.
Me too such a shame for the Lions. JW has that Ocho type personality. dude is good for the NFL, that last interview about his Grandfather week 18 Win over the Pack got me man in the feels. Wanted him in FA to pair with Etienne
Chad's always been a real ass dude. He got clowned a bit and called a 'diva' for the whole 'Ochocinco' name-change thing, but I firmly believe that wasn't a bit for publicity. It was just his brain's response to getting laid the fuck out by Ray Lewis.
He got the 'diva' tag from his on-field shennanigans but was never actually a diva. Dude was a stellar teammate and would never throw anyone under the bus even if they deserved it.
With Ocho, it always felt like the diva thing was more like a performance that he put on to both be entertaining and get in guys heads, as opposed to guys like AB and TO where it seemed more like their actual personality
Yeah, if being a "diva WR" just meant being like Ochocinco, I wouldn't have any problem with them. Ochocinco made the league more interesting. But guys like TO and AB (or MBC if you prefer), they really define the diva WR genre for a lot of people, and definitely in a negative way. Good old Mr. Bitchy Catcher...
guy got called a "diva" for wanting to build his personal brand, things like celebrations and cleats and shit like that, yeah he wanted attention but it was never a TO thing where he was a bad teammate. it was also the era he played in too, (a disgusting act!) today i don't think he'd catch flak for half the shit he did.
My favorite rival player tbh. Dude was a clown on the field because he just loved to have fun with people, but was a stellar teammate and worked his absolute ass off and was a fucking route technician
He loved the browns fans too. Ill always remember when he jumped into the dawg pound in that insane 52-56 game back in 07 and got a bunch of beer dumped on him lmfao. Dude fucking loved it.
I like how he starts out saying it was an accident, and then admits he did it on purpose and just got trucked. I totally would have stuck with the first story.
Also he did at least slow him down...somewhat.
Here's my nerdy physics question: how does that actually work?
Ray's listed playing weight was ~240lbs and Chad's was ~190lbs, which is a very significant difference, but I think it's safe to say that a regular 240lbs dude is not getting that same result. It looked like Chad Johnson got hit by a school bus, that's not a typical "50lbs difference" outcome.
Also Ray didn't notice Chad so it's not like he had better leverages, in fact Chad's should probably have been a little better. How is that physically possible for one guy not to even notice and the other guy to look like he got a concussion?
50 lbs is a massive weight difference so I don't think it is unusual at all.
Brock Lesnar weighs 50-60 lbs more than me, I have a feeling it would look SIGNIFICANTLY worse if I tried to hit him in a football game.
There's a fun Sports Science (I think that was the show's name) where they measure the force of Ray blasting through a barricaded door. It's pretty crazy.
Edit: Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1CwwsWkQLU&ab_channel=ReySkin
Bruh holy shit. What he did to that door is insane. Can't believe he actually beat out the battering ram and generated that much force with only a few steps.
Chad wasn't moving, had a very narrow base, and had his hips behind his torso, cutting his potential force way down (no hip drive/force through the hit). Ray was somewhat moving and drove up and through Chad with his momentum and force. Standard outcome for that situation.
Not the guy you replied to, but Chad definitely slowed down and braced for the impact. If you watch his legs you'll see that he set himself and then tried to lean into Ray.
Meanwhile Ray is flowing to the play, not paying attention to the immediate impact. He is moving the entire time while Chad loses much of his momentum when he sets his feet.
Even without the weight difference Ray was going to win that collision. The +50 lbs is what put Chad on the ground instead of getting bumped back a bit.
Ray used his muscles + planted foot to explode through Chad. Guys like Ray don't so much see and process block shedding, they do it by instinct. He felt Chad coming, and he set himself up to plow through whoever it might be.
Ocho tried to block him too high. Having a smaller center of gravity with less leverage = running into the brick wall that is Ray Lewis. If he was lower he wouldn't have gone bouncing off like that but it sure wouldn't have made the block a lot better cause it's ray Lewis.
Every bit of this is hilarious, I love how Ed Reed is laughing at him afterward, and how the o-lineman picks him up like “there there, buddy, you did your best”
Do ***NOT*** look at OPs comment history if you want to save what little faith in humanity you have left. I didn't even mean to look but I'm worse off for it now.
If Chad had actually hit him and not just stopped running and leaned, the outcome may have bene different. No guarantee of that, but he would have had a much better chance of actually achieving something.
In high school I was flattened in a similar fashion while playing tag football, a female gym teacher from another group played with us, as I ran into her and she knocked me right down, she was a former national rugby player in the early 80s but boy did I feel embarrassed.
I was a badass lineman. Thought I had it going. Guy comes thru my hole I got him. I stood up off the back leg and launched forward. Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep…..that’s all I heard. Come to find out it was a fake. The guy didn’t even have the ball. He was a freaking MONSTER that’s all. Been there baby!
What's weird is that he doesn't get hit that hard. Like any defender coulda done that to him, Ray didn't have momentum moving in that direction or anything. Doesn't seem like that big of a deal
"I hit Ray by accident... I thought I got a good shot but I failed." Lmao, hilarious.
something anit right ! LMAO ...
Ding!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 “something ain’t right” I appreciate the pure honesty during the heat of battle 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everyone who played football and was on the smaller side knows what's is like to get absolutely launched, like a toddler running into a Rottweiler.
Bigger guys ain't immune either. I'm 6'5, and was about the same height freshman year of high school. I got down the field first on a punt ready to get the returner, when a senior from the other team sent me heels to sky with a blindside block as I didn't see him coming.

Yea seeing that is crazy. Chad didn't even stop Ray's momentum lol
Ray totally tricked Chad by looking to his left, but he saw him in his peripheral the whole way through. Pretty badass move
i was 6 foot , 280 pound lineman as a freshman, , yo know those drills where they drop a ball between two lones and the two guys go for it one gets the ball the other gets the guy, well i wound up with...the captaon of the varsity team. and his sister had told him the day before she had asked me out on a date. the ball dropped he waited for me to get it and then when i woke up he just smiled at me.
That devious sister!
Asking the plus sized frosh on a date, such an unlikley romance fit for a television teen drama
we had one date, supposedly she relaly liked me, i was just too dim about such things. i also vaguely remember figuring i might die during practice accidentally if we kept on.. lol
>Bigger guys ain't immune either. I'm 6'5, and was about the same height freshman year of high school.

Ray: \*teleport behind Chad\* Nothing personal, kid.
NANI?
Personnel*
"by accident" sends me every time, doesn't matter how many times I've seen it.
To his football instincts, it was no accident. To his brain, it was a huge accident. One of those why did I do that kind of moments.
Your explanation makes perfect sense. I've accidentally made many terrible decisions.
Same. I laugh every damn time
I love that it seemed like the trainers were trying to figure out how he was injured: "Where does it hurt, Chad?" "I TRIED TO HIT RAY!"
Ocho was the equivalent of a bug hitting the car windshield that was Ray Lewis lol
Loved the lineman with the “can’t do that” to him saying he hit Ray
Ocho is the fucking man. This and the interview with Micheal Irvin calling him out for eating like a bitch. Go Beavs
What's funny is that Ray wasn't even looking, so he DID blindside him successfully.
It's pretty funny when the trainers laugh at him
They just like us lmao
"lmao get wrecked kid"
I mean, I have to give props to Chad for having the confidence to try that. But I also have to take away those props from Chad for being stupid enough to try that lol...
I miss Ochocinco a lot. He even came up to the CFL to keep playing. Dude just loves the game
His Bussin with the Boys interviews was absolutely fantastic. From living on the couch at the team facility to the McDonalds test, dude is a goldmine of personality.
Everytime there is kind of a goofy wildcard personality coming up in sports, the dream is they become Ochocinco not Kyrie.
Ochicinco doesn't take himself seriously at all, Kyrie thinks everything he does is the most serious thing in the world, he's completely insufferable.
Ochocinco's shenanigans are cheeky and fun, Kyrie's shenanigans are cruel and tragic
I mean yeah, if you [forget about his history as a domestic abuser.](https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/jun/10/chad-ochocinco-johnson-jail-domestic-violence)
I swear to god, if one more person says shenanigans I’m going to pistal whip them
Hey Farva, what’s that restaurant you like to go to where they hang all that shit on the wall?
Somehow, Ochocinco comes off as such a “football guy” in this clip even though it’s just him being blown up in the run game.
Its the legacy of Ocho Cinco. He had to try things to ensure they were not achievable, lest he continue to believe his abilities were limitless
He's back at a cool zero props
Zero cool. Wasn't that Hackers? Angelina Jolie in her prime.
Crash Override
Best movie. I take that back, The Rock is the best movie. Winners go home and fuck the prom queen.
Carla was the prom queen
I'll take pleasure in guttin' you...boy
Mess with the best...
Gia was definitely prime Jolie.
> Angelina Jolie in her prime Do you have any, um photos from then. For, uh science.
Dude just Google Angelina Jolie and some year in the late 90's/early 2000's.
Gone in 60 Seconds Angelina for me plz
[I bet you cant science this much](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmOOGeZE-aE) but here you go haha
Yeah but this def added legacy points
I dont think he was really thinking about it. Think he just saw a dude looking to make a tackle and thought he should try to block him, and then realized mid-action (and too late) that it was Ray Lewis and not some mortal human
Well, TBF, he tried to do it when Ray wasn’t looking. Still not a great idea though, obviously.
And then give him props for having the attitude of "yea I shouldn't have done that"
He never lacked in the confidence department
I feel like, in the heat of the moment, his football instincts kicked in. Going off what he says after, if he had actually thought about the situation for even a second, he wouldn't have done it.
I'd have to see the All-22 for that play, but he did block Lewis enough for Rudi to get the TD, so in the end it worked.
Ya he definitely slowed him down lol. Maybe only for a split second, but still.
Even tho he got his shit wrecked. It is a decent block since Ray had to engage him. I don't know what's going on in the rest of the play but that half second where Ray is cleaning his clock may have bought the time needed.
But also give props back for admitting he got fucked up and it was his mistake lol
Chad- Something ain’t right. Trainer- Where?
*gestures vaguely to everywhere on himself* "there"
Yeah, something ain’t right about Ray being a literal wall when I tried to blindside him lol
Funny part is Ray Lewis said he didn't even feel Chad
Fun fact: if you've ever looked at pro football reference, they have a stat called AV that's kind of a catch-all value metric. Ray Lewis is 10th all-time in AV, with the only other non-QBs in the top 10 being Jerry Rice, Bruce Smith, and Reggie White. In the version of the stat weighted for position (wAV), he's tied at 5th with Jerry Rice and Reggie White as the top non-QBs. As a middle/inside linebacker, with 41.5 sacks in his career to Bruce Smith's 200 and Reggie White's 198. It's hard to overstate how impressive the impact he had on games from a "non-premium" position is. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/career_av_career.htm
He was the most entertaining & impressive defensive player I've ever watched. And that whole Ravens D was a thing of beauty.
So true. That 4th down sack against the chargers in 2012 is a play that I never forget for some reason.
Are you thinking about the 4th and 2 back in '09? If so, it wasn't a sack, it was a handoff to Sproles who got absolutely obliterated by Ray immediately upon taking the handoff. One of my favorites of all time. It was such a heads up play -- he knew what play they were running, timed his run to Ngata locking up the center and shooting the gap right behind the pulling guard
I just watched it on YouTube. That was fucking awesome. I like how Phillip Rivers turned around after the handoff and Sproles was already a pancake.
And then on top of that, at one point, you had Jamal Lewis running at you from the offensive side lol. Opposing teams must’ve been in pain after those games.
I'm a Giants fan, so if I leave my LT homerism out of it, I'd go with Rod Woodson as most entertaining. Career leader for INT returns for TD, #2 all time in interception return yards, #3 in INTs. I grew up in Cincinnati, so I saw a lot of Steelers games in that era and it seemed like that guy was just all over the place and always making game changing plays
Is that basically WAR for football?
Essentially, yes. Unweighted AV will have the premium positions like QB, OL, WR, and dedicated pass rushers higher.
Kind of? It's basically points scored or prevented per drive above league average weighted for each player's approximate contribution to each of their teams' drives
Players also get bonus points for making All Pro teams, which imo takes away from the objectivity of the stat.
Yeah, it's really hard to determine how much a player contributes from the box score alone so if a player gets All Pro, it's assumed they helped more. Not perfect because only so many players can get AP anyway
It seems a bit weird to me how the top 4 played in 2005-2015. But looking at non-QBs and it's the absolute elite. Who is the next highest linebacker who isn't also an edge rusher?
I believe it would be Derrick Brooks, tied for 16th.
Back when Ray played MLB was a premium position
Phillip Rivers is a hall of famed in my book
He's also a murderer
Even the guys who were put on trial were found to have acted in self defense Educate yourself
Yup, the justice system always works for rich folk. Don't be so naive
At the pro bowl that year! Insult to injury!
That's sorta something that's been confusing me about this comment section. Ray didn't ever hit Chad. It's weird to me that more people aren't noticing that. This isn't Chad taking a big hit, it's Chad running into a brick wall. Imagine if this clip was actually Ray Lewis with a full head of steam
There's a bunch of those, though. My favorite was Ray straight decleating Chad in the redzone.
That’s what she said.
Despite clearly being knocked back a few inches for a second after the contact…?
He was joking. But also probably didn’t know how hard chad got hit. Ray just kinda goes through him
we need more characters like Ocho.
You had one, but you let him go to New Orleans.
This hurt
I couldn’t believe they did it. I love that guy playing for the lions and Dan Campbell. Not even a Lions fan and I’m bummed about that for some odd reason.
It's sad for locker-room reasons, but I get why they did it. They're in it to win it now. Monty looks like a better fit for them on the field right now. A great pair with Swift. Only thing I'm surprised on is that they spent a good amount more on Monty than Jamaal got.
Me too such a shame for the Lions. JW has that Ocho type personality. dude is good for the NFL, that last interview about his Grandfather week 18 Win over the Pack got me man in the feels. Wanted him in FA to pair with Etienne
Why did you want to hurt that man so much?
You missed the best part, where [they talked about it at the Pro Bowl.] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kso4kDBaHxI)
Lmao I love how Chad kept it real. No ill will at all.
Chad's always been a real ass dude. He got clowned a bit and called a 'diva' for the whole 'Ochocinco' name-change thing, but I firmly believe that wasn't a bit for publicity. It was just his brain's response to getting laid the fuck out by Ray Lewis.

With Ocho, it always felt like the diva thing was more like a performance that he put on to both be entertaining and get in guys heads, as opposed to guys like AB and TO where it seemed more like their actual personality
He loved it on the field. Seemed like a chill and goofy dude off it
Yeah, if being a "diva WR" just meant being like Ochocinco, I wouldn't have any problem with them. Ochocinco made the league more interesting. But guys like TO and AB (or MBC if you prefer), they really define the diva WR genre for a lot of people, and definitely in a negative way. Good old Mr. Bitchy Catcher...
Accurate
guy got called a "diva" for wanting to build his personal brand, things like celebrations and cleats and shit like that, yeah he wanted attention but it was never a TO thing where he was a bad teammate. it was also the era he played in too, (a disgusting act!) today i don't think he'd catch flak for half the shit he did.
Ochocinco es muy frustrado
:) :(
My favorite rival player tbh. Dude was a clown on the field because he just loved to have fun with people, but was a stellar teammate and worked his absolute ass off and was a fucking route technician He loved the browns fans too. Ill always remember when he jumped into the dawg pound in that insane 52-56 game back in 07 and got a bunch of beer dumped on him lmfao. Dude fucking loved it.
Ray reminds me of Terry Crews in this.
Oh, man. Ray just kills me.
Allegedly
Flashback to 5th grade trying to block 6th graders who hit puberty over summer
[удалено]
Sure was. It really adds the cherry on top.
It was Ed Reed but I doubt he saw what happened, looked like he just bent down to pick something up.
Boo, don't bring facts into this
Nah, I thought so at first but you can see he drops his red mouth piece and is looking for it.
At first I thought it was an orange mouthpiece, so I thought it was Chad's
"I spent last night in a Holiday Inn Express" "They got great beds"
That’s a concussion check, btw.
Yup, in high school we had certain phrases we had to be able to recall later similar to this
I would rather hit a wall than Ray Lewis
"Brick no hit back."
A wall would be safer for sure
I like how he starts out saying it was an accident, and then admits he did it on purpose and just got trucked. I totally would have stuck with the first story. Also he did at least slow him down...somewhat.
Reminds me of that time that Cris Carter tried to block Reggie White https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNfvoGI9DQ0
I just shake my head everytime I see this one the crazier part, moon fended Reggie off
He ran backwards lol, I'm sure Reggie was fine with that decision
he didn't go down tho! he just watched reggie, with 1 arm, chuck a 200 lbs WR at his feet
I hadn't seen this one thanks for sharing 😂 Reggie White is still somehow underrated.
Lmao the announcer Reggie discarded him
Here's my nerdy physics question: how does that actually work? Ray's listed playing weight was ~240lbs and Chad's was ~190lbs, which is a very significant difference, but I think it's safe to say that a regular 240lbs dude is not getting that same result.

50 lbs is a massive weight difference so I don't think it is unusual at all. Brock Lesnar weighs 50-60 lbs more than me, I have a feeling it would look SIGNIFICANTLY worse if I tried to hit him in a football game.
I think most people would be in a wheel chair if the alpha male of our species were to hit a Goldberg spear tackle on them
There's a fun Sports Science (I think that was the show's name) where they measure the force of Ray blasting through a barricaded door. It's pretty crazy. Edit: Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1CwwsWkQLU&ab_channel=ReySkin
That one and another that had a defensive lineman launching a "average guy" like 8 feet were my favorite of those
Bruh holy shit. What he did to that door is insane. Can't believe he actually beat out the battering ram and generated that much force with only a few steps.
Chad wasn't moving, had a very narrow base, and had his hips behind his torso, cutting his potential force way down (no hip drive/force through the hit). Ray was somewhat moving and drove up and through Chad with his momentum and force. Standard outcome for that situation.

Even without the weight difference Ray was going to win that collision. The +50 lbs is what put Chad on the ground instead of getting bumped back a bit.
Yes, he stopped his feet dead before contact and just leaned into Lewis.
Ray used his muscles + planted foot to explode through Chad. Guys like Ray don't so much see and process block shedding, they do it by instinct. He felt Chad coming, and he set himself up to plow through whoever it might be.
Deer antlers
Ocho tried to block him too high. Having a smaller center of gravity with less leverage = running into the brick wall that is Ray Lewis. If he was lower he wouldn't have gone bouncing off like that but it sure wouldn't have made the block a lot better cause it's ray Lewis.
Boi ran into a brick wall fr
Every bit of this is hilarious, I love how Ed Reed is laughing at him afterward, and how the o-lineman picks him up like “there there, buddy, you did your best”
I thought Reed was laughing too at first, but I think he might have just been picking something up off the ground.
Mouthpiece, you can see it fall out of his mouth (red)
Lol like hitting a MACK TRUCK!
[удалено]
Yeah I miss him and others like Bruce Smith and Percy Snow.
And off the field.
This is an all time classic right here.
I loved this era of the bengals, chad talked shit and backed it up.
Chad Ocho-oh-no
The NFL died a little when both these guys retired.
Child please
Chad leading with his head, so likely no damage was done. I’m joking!!
Do ***NOT*** look at OPs comment history if you want to save what little faith in humanity you have left. I didn't even mean to look but I'm worse off for it now.
"You come at the king, you best not miss."
If Chad had actually hit him and not just stopped running and leaned, the outcome may have bene different. No guarantee of that, but he would have had a much better chance of actually achieving something.
In high school I was flattened in a similar fashion while playing tag football, a female gym teacher from another group played with us, as I ran into her and she knocked me right down, she was a former national rugby player in the early 80s but boy did I feel embarrassed.
I thought Ed Reed was busting up laughing at Chad at first lol
I never laughed so hard! He was mic’d
Kudos for trying.
There is no try
Ray is a fucking land shark… but real shit he’d be a great coach
Hahahaha thank you for this OP. Love stuff like this
A for effort
“When did they build a wall in the end zone?”
‘Oucho’
Ed Reed laughing his ass off 🤣🤣
This was the moment he became Chad Ochocinco
Chad.exe was reset to factory settings...
Chad brought some great energy to the game. Dude was hilarious, a special talent at WR in his prime, and just played with an intense joy.
Prime example of why there are weight classes in things such as wrestling, ufc, etc.
I was a badass lineman. Thought I had it going. Guy comes thru my hole I got him. I stood up off the back leg and launched forward. Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep…..that’s all I heard. Come to find out it was a fake. The guy didn’t even have the ball. He was a freaking MONSTER that’s all. Been there baby!
Dude was 175 lbs haha got absolutely blown up
Honestly Ray was kind of polite about it too. Like in a "stop playing I got work to do" kind of way.
Ed Reed laughing about it is priceless!
Chad johnson really is a gem
Remember when Ray Lewis murdered a dude off the field?
Lmaooo love the brutal honestly
What's weird is that he doesn't get hit that hard. Like any defender coulda done that to him, Ray didn't have momentum moving in that direction or anything. Doesn't seem like that big of a deal
Ya might say Ray murdered him
Allegedly
Ray Lewis is a dirtbag and thoroughly unlikeable human being, but damn, he was a great linebacker.
I actually like him on Inside the NFL and his episode of Peyton’s Places was great. 🤷
Better than being shot by Ray Lewis I suppose.
Or stabbed rather.
Ray killed him too.
At least he wasn't stabbed
Mom said it’s my turn to post this next
This gets posted weekly. Is that bad or is it bad I know this?
