Sport Science: Ray Lewis "Block and Tackle" segment

but how does the play at the plate

compared to a running back getting

steamrolled in the open field if anyone

knows how to hit a ball carrier

it's Ray Lewis already made up in my

mind that anything is in front of me I'm

destroying it that's the perfect tackle

but it's just being low it's just a nice

pop that's when you come and then swings

boppity-bopping gun grip trying to jam

right now you know for the most accurate

simulation of a game situation we're

putting crash on the moon first

the crash-test dummy on a car and it

will be speeding towards ray and 15

miles

we are going to determine once and for

all how hard you hit full-on head-on

with a running back wow I want to see

that myself what kind of form do you use

to generate the maximum amount of impact

when you get somebody you want to hit

them just like this deal with and deal

with that's when you that's when you

playing football as spining because I'm

telling your vowel anybody's can't deal

with that every play

yeah I'm 260 pounds so me running

full-speed pissed off most of the times

it ain't good it ain't good it's time

for Ray to teach the dummy

what an NFL hit

and knock him out come on knock him out

when he doesn't just tap

he nearly buries it into the ground

that's a hell of a hit that's the hell

of a hit that's the freaking way the

game is played bro that's the beauty of

freaking football that's the beauty of

freaking football man

that's contact see that write that call

that color right there see back in old

school days if you have something this

color coming out of football games

that's what you know who won that battle

she lost it dummy laughs it sure looks

nasty but did this open field tackle

create a bigger impact than the home

plate collision

our baserunner accelerated up to 18

miles an hour and blasted into

impact of 1,600 pounds of force

raise get up to 12 miles an hour and

smashed into the dummy

that's nearly 38% more force than the

collision at home

there are two reasons why the first

reason is that the catcher is stationary

ray in the ball carrier are both moving

since force is mass times acceleration

both raise speed and the dummy speed are

added together where what's called the

closing speed and this is why the

biggest hits in sports

we found on the football field oh yeah

the second reason this tackle was so

punishing it was delivered by Ray

freakin Lewis

he gon do something else with him he

gone
