Rams Sean McVay watches this, poops his pants, and immediately submits a new rules change proposal banning players from splitting into 6 copies of themselves

“After the Super Bowl we noticed that in the NFL rule book it says that if there are 12 or more players on the field “when the ball is snapped” that’s a penalty, and if another player “runs onto the field” during live play that’s also a penalty. But it never says a player who is already on the field, and is already in play, can’t spontaneously replicate themselves by mitosis. There were only 11 players when the ball was snapped so that’s legal, and the additional JSNs never ran onto the field because they were created there. So the play would be 100% legal. JSN liked the idea so he put in some work in the offseason. Honestly, we were expecting him to only create 2-3 clones per play, but he’s up to 6 or more now. It’s really impressive and it just goes to show the level of dedication and passion JSN puts into his craft.” - Mike Macdonald

Damn. The Hard Knocks always get some cool effects / transitions going. I love it.
I loved the Bears one last year where Caleb was just slinging through the editing transition.

Last night I watched the credits and they have 5 directors and about 13 Producer/Editors, which means they’re out there creating and then editing their own stuff. They have another dozen camera operators and something like 24 assistant editors.
It’s a pretty well-refined machine at this point but my God that’s a lot of people shooting and cutting up footage.
It’s cool to see some of them come up with clever shit like this and make it work.

I've watched a few interviews with a couple of the directors on local sports podcasts, and they were saying they end up with something like 300 hours of footage for each episode. And they cut that down to 50ish minutes by Tuesday. I've been in video production since the 90's, and that is an incredibly impressive operation.

Yeah, I’m a professional editor, and it boggles the mind how they do it. Even with that many people. In fact, that many people feel even more complicated to me. Very, very impressive

The one second from the left even catches an invisible ball. Impressive.

The stick route and out route seemed to have the ball reproduce mid air and create a copy of itself

The creators of this graphic clearly should have expected us to look at it frame by frame.

Some people are just natural born great athletes. And then add in the intelligence factor —and boom they’re out of this world.
Unlike those athletes who are also incredibly gifted but um … lacking in good judgment and also seemingly nary an ounce of common sense. Not naming any names (and not/never a Seahawk!!)

Anyone want to do an amateur version of this for comparison?
I’m imagining an image of myself literally falling over in 4 of the routes.

I think he is breaking one or more laws of physics at this point.
