- Oh we don't play that!
We don't play that!
(yelling)
Now that, that's a great hit right there.
(upbeat music)
Hi my name is Brandon Copeland,
outside linebacker for the New York Jets.
And today I'm gonna be reacting to some hard hits.
Some of my favorite football movies
are Friday Night Lights, love Friday Night Lights.
It just reminds you of, like you said, what you play for,
why you started playing.
Obviously everyone loves Remember the Titans.
It's Denzel, come on now, that's an easy one.
Everybody remembers the songs in the movie,
and the different hardships the team had to go through.
But, you know, that's obviously a classic,
so you always love that.
The hardest hit I've ever given,
I caught this quarterback scrambling.
He talked big trash, big trash talker.
He was scrambling and he didn't see me catch up to him
from the side and I laid homie out.
Literally laid him out.
His coach actually was complaining at halftime
in the media interview.
That's how hard I hit homie.
That was my biggest hit
but I'm really excited to see these hits
so I probably need to take some notes.
Boom.
Alright so we got The Longest Yard here.
Oh.
The big dude.
Ah, he sent him on a bounty.
He broked my nose dude.
- [Announcer] The Cons don't seem
to have an answer for Dunham,
who's averaging close to 12 yards a carry this half.
(grunting)
- Oh snap.
- Green 67, green 67.
(laughing)
- Dang!
That's a good hit, that's a clothesline.
- I think I made him shit himself.
(laughing)
Yeah, no that's a good hit.
I don't see anything wrong with that, that was beautiful.
Form, clothesline, got low, kept his pads low,
kept his head up.
You can't beat that.
And he's sending him out on a stretcher.
That's a good hit, I'm gonna give him a thumbs up
on that one.
Okay we got Water boy.
- Stop making fun of me!
(players yelling)
- Oh now that's textbook.
Now that's a textbook tackle.
Me personally, I like the clothesline from Longest Yard
a little bit better but that right there,
that is gonna turn some coaches eyes.
You might see him playing on Sundays
if he's tackling like that.
That was good.
I'm not gonna give it the hardest hit,
I think it's a form tackle.
I like it though.
I'm going to give it a thumbs down.
I'm gonna be a hard judge on this.
Yeah, lets see what we got next.
It's The Blind Side.
(coach yelling)
Big Mike, come on baby!
God damn.
At a certain point you just gotta fall, bro.
Have some pride, fall, quit, give up!
See we'd have to fight, we'd have to fight.
Oh!
Now that.
Oh, they threw the flag on him?
I guess you have to.
That's not a hit, that's textbook blocking.
He had his hands inside, all that type of stuff.
Then threw him out the club.
He told the dude we don't allow Timberland boots
in the club.
I told you one time before, get out of here kid.
And he took him and threw him over the fence,
threw him out the club.
I gotta give you a thumbs up on that one.
I like more disrespectful stuff,
so the clothesline and throwing people out the club.
I guess I'm disrespectful.
Next one.
Gridiron Gang, that's it.
Now this is Dwayne Johnson, damn 88.
I remember this.
Rival gang members,
laying it out on the line for each other, that's football.
(yelling)
Now that's a good hit.
They laid his whole body out there on the line,
they rival gangs.
But on the football field, all of us come together.
Textbook block right there.
Textbook hit.
He didn't only just fall, he rolled and there's a big
dust pile right there.
His whole jersey dusty.
That's a thumbs up right there.
I want to play with that guy, put it like that.
Next one.
The Replacements, classic movie right there.
(players yelling)
(grunting)
- Danny Bateman
- Shane Falco
- Sorry, I just love the conversation.
That's a good hit.
I think I'm a little biased to quarterback hits.
I'm gonna grade this one down a little bit too,
just because we not allowed to do
half of this stuff anymore.
Like even the way the guy fell on top of Falco right there,
I would get fined for that.
Maybe I'm a little jealous,
and I'm gonna go ahead and admit that to you,
but I'm gonna give it a thumbs down, cause I can't do it.
My show.
Next one.
Yeah I'm a hater.
Say what you want to say about me.
The Express, Syracuse, upstate New York,
just like me in high school.
Oh!
Aw hell.
Aw hell!
See, now that was a good hit.
But that was a late hit.
That's some dirty (beep) right there.
And with the racial overtones,
I know it's supposed to say undertones but it's overtones!
I'm gonna say thumbs down, that's disgusting and degrading.
You know what, that's a good hit though.
But that's disgusting and degrading.
Man, next one.
That's crazy.
Rudy, is it crazy I've never seen Rudy?
♪ You know I'm not the, oh! ♪
(whistle blows)
Now see I was gonna hate on this one.
Oh!
(chuckling)
Now that was a good hit, you know?
I'm gonna just give it a good hit though,
I'm not gonna give it a great, great hit.
As a linebacker, my coach would be very happy
seeing that type of read and reaction right there.
But I'm not gonna give it a great hit.
I'm gonna give it a thumb down cause I'm the judge.
And it's my show.
I'll say it again.
Remember the Titans.
Oh!
Aw damn.
See?
The racial overtones again!
That was a good hit.
I ain't going to lie to you, that was a good hit.
Like I said, I don't like it,
but you played between the whistles now.
So I gotta, it was a clean hit.
Now when he got up he talking all that extra stuff,
I don't have to like it,
but I gotta give my man a thumbs up.
That's a good hit.
That's a great hit.
I'll give you that.
All of this, y'all got me hyped.
Out of all the movies,
I'm still going with The Longest Yard.
Football isn't about textbook
and things don't always work out perfectly.
This man just literally put out his arm
and clothes-lined the hell out of homie.
I gotta give it two thumbs up, The Longest Yard.
