* DidntThinkThisThrough: Mr. Kaplan introduces only ''nine'' players for the football team and thinks he's announced everyone. While eight-man football does exist in California, it's only played by very small schools. Based on Angel Grove High School's size, the amount of buildings in the town and the fact that it has its own television news station, it's highly improbable that Angel Grove High School would play eight-man football. Even if it did, an eight-man team would have a lot more than nine players.



* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Jason and later Ernie assure a doubting Tommy that he can make the football team if he just applies himself.

* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Jason and later Ernie assure a doubting Tommy that he can make the football team if he just applies himself. Of course, given that only 11 players are announced for the team, it appears all Tommy had to do was [[WinsByDoingAbsolutelyNothing show up]] to make the team.

* BigDamnHeroes: Rhino Blaster downs the Dragonzord and gets ready to stomp Tommy, but then the newly freed Rangers arrive in the Megazord.



* DamnYouMuscleMemory: As Tommy notes, he's trained most of his life at karate, so it's not easy to switch to football. While training with Ernie, he lapses into his usual poses and accidentally kicks the tackling dummy.



* HiddenDepths: Ernie reveals he was an all-star fallback in college and agrees to help train Tommy.
* {{Irony}}: Tommy notes that, for once, even Bulk is more experienced at a sport than he is.



* PreAsskickingOneLiner: "All right, Rangers, it's time to run the blitz."

* TheBrute: Rhino Blaster's fighting style mainly revolves around his brute force, but he does have a few other gimmicks such as a saber he uses while fighting the Dragonzord.
