Ohio State vs Michigan 1972 goal line plays.
มุมมอง 3.3K10 ปีที่แล้ว
Ohio State went to Rose Bowl by keeping Michigan out of the endzone from inside 5 yard line.
46 defense
Throw it over the middle against that defense and you have lost your right to complain.
7:12
Buddy Ryan's 46 Defense was named after Plank who would walk up and play a LB spot. Fencik replaced Plank at SS later on.
Beast!
Ask Tampa’s Jimmy Giles who Doug Plank was !
Giles doesn't "drop the pass". The Bears' linebacker dropped the interception
I was at that game and remember the play. It was nothing more than a great hit by an all time great Bear.
Doug Plank needs to belong in the HOF
Doug, you should’ve been on that 85 Bears Team! You were the foundation of that team! Wowsa! What a heavy hitter you were. You are the EPITOME OF A CHICAGO BEARS PLAYER!❤
Thank you for the kind response. I had to battle my whole life at Ohio State and Bears. First day at Ohio State I tore a ligament and cartilage in right knee. Was a backup player until a Chicago scout saw me play for an injured player my senior year at Northwestern. Loved playing for Bears. Played aggressive since our pash rush and run defense was lacking. It was great getting Gary to play the other safety. I think we set the tone for playing defense in the NFL and especially Chicago!
Plank always brought it!
Hardest hitting DB!!
funniest part was at 0:12 when Williams slips and his helmet gets kicked off by #51
He wasn’t focused on the offensive players twice his size, his mindset was on jarring the football loose. Big difference.
Your average, every day not cool moment !! 0:11
Doug Plank = Mr. Spear.lol
The receiver wasn't looking, couldn't defend himself.
You can’t hit me in the chest, I wasn’t looking!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s not a defender’s responsibility to ensure an opposing player can defend himself. That’s the offensive players concern. The defenders job is to prevent any forward advance of the football by the offense. That’s it and that’s all.
Poor mans butkus
Clean hit !! Shoulder to chest ! Even by today's standards , clean hit !
You can argue the ‘85 Bears were not the greatest team ever or had the greatest defense though I think they were the best. But, no one legitimately say they were not the most fun team in NFL history. There had never been a football team with a cast of crazy, outrageous and entertaining players like the ‘85 Bears. The 1985 season was the most over-the-top in the NFL ever. Will never be repeated. Which is too bad.
That cooled Giles down for the season ! Way to go Plank !
Giles made the Pro Bowl.
It cooled his ass off for the game.
methus57 Appears to want to fuck him.
Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, watching Plank and Fencik was a treat.
How many years to Doug Plank and Garry Fencik play together? Was it just 1? The bears had some other heavy hitters after Plank retired - Dave Duerson hit hard.
Nothing cheap about this hit. Good, hard football.
Sure,,,,,if being half an hour late isn't an issue, good hit then
On his feet with the ball in his hands, fair game.
A beast
Good Lord was he a hitter.
Most of those hits were head hunting cheap shots even back then. Late hits on the ground or out of bounds.
So
napoearth Whussie
How is Doug Plank not in the pro football hall of fame? No one hit harder than #46.
I loved Plank. But that was dirty!
There is always a story behind the story. Please read my recent post on that play. I made a sacrifice to play that night with the assistance of pain killers. I was not a dirty player. Gary Fencik and I always had the fewest penalties on our team. I could have said "I do not want to play tonight because of my broken ribs."
I played with 4 broken ribs that night. I was injected before the game and at half time to reduce the pain. I could lower my helmet to initiate the hit but could not use my arms to tackle. I hit another Buc receiver earlier using only my helmet. Now you know the rest of the story.
Clean hit snowflake.
Nothing dirty about it. Great hit. Only pansies have an issue with it.
In no way does the defensive player have to ensure that the offensive player is prepared for contact before initiating a hit.
Plank finally gettin' the love.
I remember that hit like it was yesterday! Great football! Fencik said when he was a rookie once the games got out of reach he and PLANK use to spend the entire 4th quarter seeing who could KN0CK 0UT the most opposing players. I was in grade school and always patterned my game after Doug Plank. As kids playing football in vacant lot's we never said : we were going to tackle anybody. We always said: " we gone PLANK ah muh fucker"!!! & That's just what we did! We used to lay each other 0UT!
Savage, thank you for making these videos available. QB's today would not survive one half of a game if you still played.
Good hit. Back when the NFL was great.
This video must be from the late 70's? The Bucs were so AWFUL from 1980 onwards to around the mid nineties and were not on Monday Night football all them years as the NFL only wanted to do good teams playing games on Monday night football for TV ratings and viewership.
We called it smashmouth football plank and fenc let you catch the ball then make you pay for it 😉
Plank and Fencik were awesome. I put them right up there with Ronnie Lott and Kenny Easley.
Who the hell is this guy, never heard of him
Just heard about him, was watching a 85 bears video. There is a video of him tackling the great Earl Campbell, it was an unbelievable hit. Campbell was no easy take down, but man the hit was insane.
troll-fx2zc He must not exist since you’ve not heard of him, whoever you are.
Great player greater guy Played one on one with him in basketball at local playground I didn’t fair well Prob cause he was a bit older then me. Least I tell myself that. But a great guy never saw him angry ! Must have saved it for the field 😊
Doug Williams was LIVID!
Doug Plank was a motherf#cker, that dude could stick !!
You're the man Doug, GO BUCKS!
What number is Doug?
THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE HISTORY.
We scored we got robbed..GO BLUE 🏈
Being a Bear wasn't always about winning... It was about HITTING people !!!
Could pass for John Gruden’s older brother.
I remember this "hit"... I looked for it about ten years ago but obviously it wasn't up yet... and I think I may have spelled Giles with a "J"
Cheap shot
Its called football. not like now where its ballet
Hell we played like that when i was in high school. The quarterback came fown the line on the option running the wishbone they got hit whether they had the ball or not.lol. and we were taught to put our facemask in their chest wrap up and lift up. Hopefully the running back had their head down or could have taken a shot in the chin. I am glad that now they are teaching a different way to tackle. But some of the targeting calls or unsportsmanlike calls like the one against vonn bell in the super bowl are ridiculous. He used his forearms with the hit and not his helmet the shot wasn't to the head but kupp's chest sorry it hurt but really was legal. It would be interesting to watch these guys play like they used to in the 70sand 80s. Lol. Would they be as good. I don't know. They are definitely stronger and football is all they really have to do unlike earlier years were they had jobs in the off season. This is bob not tammy. Lol.
Tell that to Jack Tatum, Glen Edwards, Ronnie Lott, Atwater, Browner, etc
No such thing! Great hit! Legendary!!! You outta watch The complete history of (The Chicago Bears 1920 - 2004 ) TH-cam video
Your mom is cheap.
who was wearing #51?? they didnt retire Butkus number?
I remember bringing my kids home on a crappy Halloween night and watching Butkus and Sayers getting their jerseys retired... it was back in 94, the year I had to look up.
Not then yet , it took another 15 or so years ,maybe less for 51 to be retired Conflict with Bears Owners and MGMT at the time with Butkus kept it from happening .
Imagine a Planck and Cecil safety tandem with Atwater at nickel? High regard to Tatum, Lott, Shell, Easley et al... but those first three were GOAT!
No they weren't, not even close. None of those guys you first mentioned are in the HOF. Great players yes, but not HOF'ers....sorry
@@mayhemjr.803 Gotta follow football more closely sonny! You are way off.
@mayhemjr.803 Are you actually stupid? Lott is probably the best safety to have ever lived, and is most certainly in the HOF
John Lynch was a good hitter too
@@mayhemjr.803- Steve Atwater is in the HOF
I watched him play in high school ..not just football but basketball too. The first time I watched him was a jv game in basketball before the REAL game around 1969 or 70 at Norwin High School. Hell of an athlete. I graduated with his brother Robbie in 1972 who also had the Kamikaze attitude style of football...Unfortunately his brother wasn't as tall as him or there would have been 2 Norwin grads in Pro Football.
