    The thing about Jack Tatum's hit on Daryl Stingley is that the hit was completely legal at the time.
    The entire thing is an absolute tragedy,
    but you might as well blame the quarterback whose play call and high pass left Stingley so completely vulnerable -
    when everybody knew Jack Tatum was back there.

    The 1st guy that you were trying to recall is none other than Larry Allen #73 of the Dallas Cowboys!! If the play was coming through his slot, he would grin and make a train whistle sound to let his man know, "the play is coming right to you, all you gotta do is stop me (not a quote, but an implication of his intent)!!! Raised in gang ridden Compton, CA, he survived a knife attack in which he was stabbed in his head, defending a family member in a fight. Tough, tough man. Coming off the line, he would literally launch linebackers off their feet 4 to 5 yards back. That's what a 700lb bench can do on the football field. Simply unforgettable.

    I had to fight him in the Pugil Pit, because even though he was like twice my size, I was the only guy Big enough to go against him. Guy hit me so hard that My helmet (football style buttoned up and all that) just gave up and went flying. If it hadn't been for the helmet... I dunno if I would have gotten up.
    Also, IMO, if you get injured as a Football player... You knew the risks and decided to play anyway. Can't get mad at the Hitter if they didn't break any rules. You go on the field to fight for victory, and physical contact can lead to injury.

    Ray Lewis should never have been allowed back in the NFL after getting out of prison. He is a monster. He had a big dog fighting ring.

He apologized to the public but that didn’t do anything for the innocent dogs. This was all in the back of his mansion.
    I remember watching that game when Lawrence Taylor tackled Joe Theismann and breaking his leg, it was brutal. Taylor was visibly upset. He was in a panic trying to get the sideline medics out to Theisman . It was horrible to see that break.

    Ray Lewis was a Baltimore Raven through and through. He could hit hard, but he usually had a really good technique that didn't injure those he took down. That is what separated him from "dirty players" (look those up). He also inspired his team mates to perform at their best, as well. If you want to "deep dive" into an NFL story, check out the Raven's first Super Bowl season. Stingiest Defense in the league that year. They allowed a record low number of points by opposing teams for the season. The funny thing about that season is that they had a journeyman quarterback (Trent Dilfer), who wasn't re-signed the following year.

In 1905, President Teddy Roosevelt called in coaches from the major universities and told them that they needed to make the sport safer. It was at that time that new rules were established. Even so, protective pads and helmets weren't introduced until the 1920s. Safety measures have been improved many times since then. BUT, the sport is still dangerous.

    in American football, injury and hurt are two distinct things. if you are HURT you can still play, if you are INJURED , you cannot.

    The way the hits were administered back then is the reason why so many of the rules were changed on hitting.

    Ray Lewis earned praise from Bill Belichick. As well as many opposing players including Peyton Manning and many others. Ray watched game films of each and every team he played against. He would study candence and the steps the QB would take to learn the tells so he knew where to be.
    That first clip of him laying out the Denver Bronco resulted in a 107 yard touchdown for the Ravens. Denver went for a field goal and muffed it. Chris McAlister was positioned in the end zone for a possible run back. The first player that tried to tackle McAlister got a huge welcome from number 52 as he honed in to try and pin The Ravens deep.
    Many of the older clips show hits have been deemed illlegal now in Football .

    Reggie White had a broken arm. They gave him a massive cast. He played with his injury, and battered players with it like a club.

    Lawrence Taylor's ending the career of Theismann was not from the hit. It was from LT falling on his leg that was already stretched out and couldn't be moved. A complete accident. There was nothing illegal nor even unfair about the hit itself. LT's hits were absolutely jarring. But I don't remember him ever going at a QB's head. His signature move was coming behind the quarterback and hitting his throwing hand, or arm, or shoulder as the QB is about to throw it, to cause a fumble.

  • @adder70-1
    @adder70-1 Před 2 měsíci

    They're going too far in the specific protections for quarterbacks, but the overall safety measures are still not excessive. Lawrence Taylor was a brutal player with violent impacts, he was not dirty. He was out to make the other team change their plays to avoid his hits, and to be so stiff that toward the end of the game their play was affected. He was not out to injure other players and was extremely distraught after Theismann's injury. By the way, Joe played for 12 years and was well into the age when most quarterbacks retired due to general wear and tear. Also, hurting someone causes them pain. Injuries are actual failures of the body to perform, such as when ligaments are stressed or torn, or bones are broken.

    Never saw someone hop over BOTH lines to get a sack before him…
    That’s right.
    Hopped OVER his OWN defensive line AND the offensive line

    • @nellgwenn
      @nellgwenn Před 3 měsíci

      He was scarry because you could never tell where he'll be or how he got there. Other teams had to do what they could to avoid him.

    I was going to compare Campbell to Bo Jackson, whose careers in football and baseball were cut short due to a catastrophic hip injury. Barry Sanders was somewhat powerful, but was FAST and ELUSIVE, making so many players look foolish and flat on the ground while never touching them. I think you were trying to think of Walter Payton, who played for the Bears.

  • @tstumpf75

    I had a friend, who his friend played tackle in the nfl, he was a backup tackle, but the starter got hurt so he got put in.. and it was against Reggie White.. he said the QB said "HUT".. he blinked.. he felt something on his right shoulder that nearly knocked him off his feet.. opened his eyes from blinking, and the qb on the ground with Reggie White on top of him, with his QB yelling at him to at least get a hand on him.. 😂😂😂😂😂

    Y'all brits have no idea how this feel playing the game in the 90's. That was the last time this game was played right. From the smell of field. Lining up and coming off the ball. Making that contact, the hits. Nothing like it.

  • @armoredinf
    @armoredinf Před 3 měsíci

    No Deacon Jones(61-74)??? The man who invented the term "Sacking the quarterback". the NFL didn't even keep official quarterback sack statistics until 1982 several years after he retired. Jones said "You take all the offensive linemen and put them in a burlap bag, and then you take a baseball bat and beat on the bag. You're sacking them, you're bagging them". And that’s what you're doing with a quarterback." or like. when you conquer a city. His favorite tactic was the head slap(long now banned by the NFL)

  • @Sheisthedevilyouknowwho-ft9we

    I know I'm not alone in saying this. I was watching the game the night LT was on Theismann's back breaking his leg. I was 10 y.o. Also watched live. : Tim Krumrie in the Super Bowl, obvious the lower half flopped around after tib/fib broke. Napoleon McCallum of the Raiders, his knee went like a flamingo's. Dan Dierdorf when they showed the replay, "I hope his kids are asleep in bed and not up watching the game".

  • @shawnanderson6313
    @shawnanderson6313 Před 3 měsíci +1

    Bro the highlights of Night Train were in black & white? How do you figure he retired in in the 1980s? He retired in 1965, he was 53 years old in 1980, and had be retired for 15 years. The first NFL game show in color was after he had retired in 1965.

    Another Fullback with speed and MASSIVE quads was Robert Newhouse, #44 with the Dallas Cowboys. I saw up close, playing a charity basketball game, and the dude's legs were like tree trunks. The best thing though, he was a really nice guy.

    • @HoustonRebel
      @HoustonRebel Před 2 měsíci

      People don't talk about Robert Newhouse that much. They didn't then (Dorsett got the spotlight) and they don't now but he was a great back, built like Earl Campbell with those huge thighs.
      I used to jokingly refer to him as Robert 'Brickhouse' as a kid. Lol.

  • @Sheisthedevilyouknowwho-ft9we

    The quote at 4:43 makes me glad I only played football in 8th and 11th grades. I got "dinged" and it wasn't til the next spring that specific spot on the top in the middle of my head stopped hurting. Even with only 2 years of FB, at 49 I've had a damaged shoulder and back for 20 years because of the work I did. Think I saw an old clip of Jim Otto recently, those legs 🤢🤮. Mark Schlereth has had a zillion surgeries. Was it Ditka asked years ago....he said the interviewer asked him, :Oh, so you didn't get out of the game unscathed ?" Ditka answered "you're damn right I'm scathed ".😂 was it Greenlaw or the other 49ers LB, hit the TE of the Lions in the NFC title, his arms and legs turned to jelly. I bet he burned down his spine and more, like Earl Campbell, I think they indicated something like that happened. "Stinger"😂 yeah, probably his spinal cord got hit in some spot, uh, not compatible with a long healthy life, but none of us can stop watching

    All the usual suspects are present and accounted for. If we are going to also be including scary offensive players like Jim Brown and Earl Campbell, then they should have also mentioned Larry Czonka - the only man ever penalised for _unnecessary roughness_ when he himself had the ball and was being tackled.

    Reggie White played college at Tennessee. Friend of mine told maea story where Reggie was doing like a neighborhood watch kind of patrol in a park at the edge of campus. It was dark and a car was parked so it was blocking a path. He asked them to please move it out of the way. They, not knowing who it was, mouthed off/ignored him, so he went to the rear of the car and lifted it by the rear bumper and move the back end out of the way. The idiots in the car were like wth just happened. Reggie said have a nice night.
