Taking a guys head off because he can’t see you, and ending his ability to make a living, doesn’t take skill. It doesn’t make a player a bad ass.

If the defense was still allowed to hit like this we wouldn't have to watch receivers celebrate and talk $hit every time they get a first down. NFL defenses used to have a way of keeping people in check.

Back when receivers were scared to catch a pass up the middle.

Yup. As soon as they took those hits away you start seeing 44 year olds have 5309 yard 43 td seasons, and college scramble type QBs like Patrick Mahomes having 4500-5000 yard seasons. People think the QBs are just better nowadays but its not true at all. I mean Brady had a 50 td - 4800 yard season under old school rules but im talking about all the other QBs throwing for 4k-5k yards a season.

Calling Joe Montana the greatest also isn’t really fair to the older QBs before him but I’ll admit Joe still played in an era that was significantly rougher than the 2000s and most definitely the 2010s. The QB position is the hardest one to choose who is the GOAT because personally out of all positions, QBs have been impacted the most when it comes to refined and new rules. I’m glad QBs and other players play a safer game and their chances of ending up on a wheel chair with tubes in their nose and throat are lessened, but it’s a night and day difference over what professional QBs before the 2000s and QBs nowadays go through. Brady entered the NFL at the very end of a brutal era of football, he’s for sure taken some mean hits and had some minor concussions...however he along with every other QB were saved by many flags and rule changes which made the game easier and less risky.

He barfed blood and wouldn’t sit because something like that happened earlier that year and the backup lost the game on 1 of the dumbest plays in history. Now...all of that isn’t even the craziest part. The craziest part is that Lloyd rocked Favre just as bad in their preseason game and they kept him out after that until week 1.

Watching some of these bring back some good memories!!! My Broncos finally winning a Super Bowl against the Packers!!!! I was watching that MNF when LT ended Joe Thiesman’s career…

That first one was brutal, i swear you can see the brain go into primal survival reboot mode live

NFL was better when dominant defenses could run the show...

Defense they have now days is hard to watch. You can still hit a man hard just not with your helmut

Some of these hits are so hard people are still watching them 50 years later!

A better era. NFL today isn't even a sports league. It's called an "Entertainment Company" it's no longer about the game anymore. It's about money. This new NFL is SOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFTT!!

God I miss these days so much

Dave Patton God rest his soul, made a beautiful catch one Sunday, and was knocked clean out for doing it. It was the best catch I've ever seen live.

This is how football should be played

Back when Football was Football 😉🏈🍻🤘❤️ (That is how we played in high school and it was fine )

Ahhhh I can smell the cigars!!! The crazy play at 3:00, I noticed that #46 Plank? lays out the BIG first hit but also finishes the play with another on a linesman, laying him down too! what a BMF!

That 70’s Raider secondary was the original Legion of Boom. Headhunters.

@2:40 #46 got two hit sticks. He a real head hunter

When football was football

Ol' Chuck Cecil was all fired up 🤣

Watching Atwater and Chuck lay people out when I was a kid only to grow up and see people try to diminish the offensive numbers of players during this era just shows how clueless people really are.

Back when football was a real game.

All these players can’t remember their kids’ names😂

"Here is something you can't understand, how I could just kill a man..."

Remember when nearly all of the plays / highlites shown on Defense for the sizzle reel was almost always huge hits? The NFL was selling it for years, then wondered why it was so hard for the athletes to adjust. Great opening btw.. Steve Atwater and many other Safeties had that mentality that they would ruin their own careers, the careers of teammates, etc just to make a huge hit. They were ready to burn it all down in the name of a highlight hit.

I miss football.

Back when football was actually football

Neal Anderson always looked like he was running on an ice rink😅

Old school NFL, '60s-'80s, was the purest form of the game. Nowadays it's overly regulated, overly commodified, and Goodell makes Pete Rozelle look like a saint. It's nothing but faint traces of what it used to be.

This is how the game should still be played.

*even the clean hits were harder back then!*

Merino 33 worships the days when clothes-lining was legal, crackback blocks were legal, spearing was legal, facemasking was legal...he loves all that!!!

Had never heard of Chuck Cecil before this video! Solid hits there!!

Joe's injury wouldve triggered people in the 1880s

when football was football

Chuck Cecil was a beast. Loved watching him as a kid in Green Bay.

Can we talk about the fact that man for the Vikings held on to the ball. That dude was a G....the majority of these were clean hits, a few headhunters but mostly just really solid form tackles.

Back when CTE among football players wasnt noticed until decades later. The rules about head cuncussion has been change for a more safer play.

Somewhat, I think they over adjusted for the offense to succeed that’s why we see over inflated rules and old heads that played are just glad to be paid so back it even though I think most of the old greats know all these over hyped offenses wouldn’t be that way back in the 70s, 80s , and early 90s

That how football should be played

The game is simple to play, you get the guy with the ball! 🏈

Yep! Back then playing smear the queer aka tackle the man with the ball was the best practice

Fascinating video

I still wish Dennis Smith stuck around another year to get the ring along with Steve and John. Steve Atwater was the definition of reckless in that hit, he put his body on the line for John and his team on that hit. Stand up guy moment

Back when men were men. I loved playing in that era. It was actually scary to play. It wasn’t fun it was a fight. Every snap could be your last. It was a battle to survive. Man I wish I could go back.

Your killing me smalls.. it's a business and as a businessman it's bad business to allow the biggest money makers to be hurt or careers ended from one play. Protect these assets and your make billions and they are doing so. Clearly older players like you have brain damage..

HELL YEAH!!! I miss this football

This is good hard tackling. None of these are players aiming for heads. Wanting spine-breaking hits back in the game is different from condoning head hunting. These guys respected one another enough to NOT AIM for heads (save for a few psychopaths like romanowski). Helmets would fly off during big hits to the chest because they were less secured around the head than they are today. I feel like its important to acknowledge this difference (between good old school hits and head hunting).

Nah, the actual first hit in this compilation is the safety trying to target the receivers head, clipping it, and hitting his teammates, which results in all three laying on the ground not moving for about 20 seconds.

“We will not speculate on the injury to Joe Theisman…” You just saw his calf snap in half 😂

That Sean Taylor hit on the punter at the Pro Bowl was shades of Johnny Bench, lmao.
