BOB "BOOMER" BROWN | Raiders History

- (Jump to 2:13 for Raiders) My tribute to the most aggressive Offensive Tackle of all time. Along with Art Shell, Gene Upshaw, and Jim Otto, he was one of four (FOUR!) Hall of Famers on the offensive line for the Oakland Raiders from 1971-1973. One of the first 300 pound offensive lineman and standing at 6'4", Brown looked huge in his over-sized shoulder pads but was surprisingly quick. He he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.6 seconds at his first Eagles Training Camp. He had 20-inch biceps and 33-inch thighs, and his chest expanded to 57 inches. He polished his footwork by skipping rope and he trained five hours a day in the off-season. He was also one of the first players to seriously lift weights. In 1966 his military press was within 10 pounds of the record in the USA. Brown earned the nickname "Boomer" from the sound it made when he hit his opponent. A knee injury suffered in 1967 bothered him the rest of his career. With today's medicine, Bob Brown would have played a lot longer, but he still earned All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors despite the bad knee..
From playing with the aggression of a defensive player to having a Master's Degree, from his plaster cast forearm pads to his demands to be paid like a franchise QB, from his shattering the goalpost with a forearm shiver without pads on to reversing the screws in his helmet to counter Deacon Jones' head slap, Bob Brown was truly one of a kind. A 5 time first team All Pro and named to 6 Pro Bowls. Named to the NFL All 1960's team and was enshrined in the Hall of Fame in 2004. His #64 was retired by Nebraska and he was named NFL Lineman of the Year 3 times.
His style of play in his own words: “I’m not a finesse lineman like a lot of tackles in this league,” explained Brown. “There’s nothing fancy about me. I’m about as fancy as a sixteen-pound sledge hammer. I’m basic.”

Seriously miss guys like him and his attitude. Need that back in sports.

#INCOGNITO
nickolaus cabcabin James complains and cry to officials too much and gets caught up on social issues and politics no thanks
@@douglasbagshaw807 exactly lol LeHelp James always crying 😂💯
that attitude has been fined and penalized out of sports smh
Damn,I didn't know that Bob Brown had passed away. Rest in peace Mr Brown. You were one of the best offensive lineman to have ever played the game
RIP Bob Brown (December 8, 1941 - June 16, 2023), aged 81
You will be remembered as a legend.
Dude's were just tougher back then it seemed.
Every generation has gotten weaker in my 66 yrs.
They had to be
Because we were allowed to be. We didn't have crazy people telling us how to act.
So true. Cruz in wit da Tooz
They had to be. Times were just tough like that back then. World Wars popping off and technology not working like it does today.
i understand that they are protecting the health of the players these days, but i was introduced to the game as a kid in the 70's and very few players from today's game would be able to hang with the type of men who played "back in the day".
Damn right!!!
These guys didn’t even lift weights give me a fucking break. I’d like to see how they would do against Derek Henry
Today's players are bigger,stronger ,faster athletes.and they don't put steel in their forearms.
I was born in 1970. When I was a kid games were brutal and I loved it. Quarterbacks used to get their asses beat up
This are the type of guys that made me fall in love with Football. They were straight Savage's
When HOF men like Carl Eller, Deacon Jones, Herb Adderly and Mean Joe Greene talk the way they do about Mr. Brown, you know this guy had to be seriously legit! Mean Joe Greene telling LC Greenwood, "Nope, I've had enough," says it right there!
American Warhorse ..you said it brother 👍🏿
Seriously! Ive never been aware of joe greene tapping out 🤣
Baxter Stocksandbondsman ..You’re right it takes a bad man to make Mean Joe throw in the towel 👍🏿
Mean Joe was like, "Nah LC you got em homie. Have fun"
@@supergrover1746 He was looking out his ear hole and had one shoe off when he said it, too.
This is my favorite youtube video. Watch it about every day.
Usually you see the offensive lineman always backing up I never seen nobody go forward and chase them down beast mode but on the offensive side wow
Precisely.
You're right offensive lineman should fire out knocked people around don't back up and get pushed over
@@willisix2554 A man's way moves forward & thrusts aggressively. The pussy way backs up & backs down submissively & spreads the cheeks.😁 Capisch?
@@willisix2554 Offensive linemen are supposed to offend people. 😎
Must not be much of a fan of football. Offensive linemen go forward when run blocking and go backward when pass blocking. All of them.
Wow, the greatest Steeler ever (MJG) paying big respect!
Bad man.....
Raider Nation
We need this power now
I remember watching him play and he was a pure beast. . It has been said that he broke a goal post up right with that forearm shiver
He gave Mean Joe da bizness!!
I was a kid and I seen Bob Brown jogging around a track he was on human like he was so big to me I was a little boy when I seen him and I couldn't believe the size of that man
He was the only linemen who when pass blocking attacked instead of dropping back. Vicious. He was a mountain at about 6'4 285. Would loved to see him play against 6'9 290 "Big Cat" Ernie Ladd back then. Sadly, both had the same fate with bad knees.
What would be his playing weight today? 320-330? Or would you have him, say, at center at 300 or so to preserve his quickness? Or guard. Larry Allen class.
Shocked he wasn't in the NFL top 100. There are only a handful that could rate above him. Jim Parker of the Colts. The great John Hannah of the Patriots. Larry Allen of the Cowboys. And probably the greatest of them all, the fabulous Anthony Munoz of the Bengals. That would be my Mt. Rushmore for offensive linemen. That's a pretty short list above Bob Brown. His knee problems were probably the one thing that kept him from the very top. Brown had only about a 10 year career. But, it was ten years of terror!! Intimidation in upper case.
Bob Brown was a super ferocious offensive lineman for the Eagles and Raiders, I did not know he died this year, this is a tragedy for the NFL!!
Not a raiders fan just a football fan appreciating one of the greats
Why have I never heard of this man until right now?
Thanks so much for postin this. Was not familiar with him.
Glad you liked it :)

When LC and Mean Joe got not answer...dude must have been a bad ass.
Excellent video nice job
Thank you :)
He wouldn't make it today....his style is too MANLY for the modern NFL.
Mansa Musa us Alpha/Omega male are a in danger species with all the cam newton scarf 🧣female skinny jeans obj rainbow 🌈 hair pussy AB player
The one Above all
Agreed
Just imagine if he could have used his hands.
Could not agree more!
@@theoneaboveall6768 thankyou, yours is the most inane, hilarious comment I've read in a very long time. your comment shows you know less about being a man than what a man you are.
(and by the way, he word is ENDANGERED not in danger idiot lol)
If he got pissed the Steelers defence well..... that says everything.
Bob Brown embodied what football was and still should be.
There were a lot of these tough guys back then. Now if you want to single out one guy that didn't get the Press, no problem. You could make a strong case that we focus too much on the famous guys but forget that these other less famous guys were damn good.
This is a real football player
0:48 Is Straight Throwback Football Music 🎶
Blockbuster, Sam Spence used to do all the music for NFL Films back then
I watched the 70's Raiders they should have 4 or 5 if not more Super Bowls that offensive line was AWESOME. 5 Hall of Famers. No team had that if not for a few bad plays the 70's Raiders would be called the greatest team of all time. They played Miami, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Baltimore, New York Jet's, Denver. That's just in the AFL or AFC ? Great Team's. These punk @$$ players today I laugh at them they are a joke. Bob Brown would eat them up 😂😂 I really miss old school football 🏈
He blocked 3 people at once in that 1966 Pro Bowl!
You're right up there with Dave Volsky in keeping legacy football memories alive. Dope video. Also, what's the name of the music track playing at 3:16?
I think it is called Confrontation from Sam Spence
Maybe Atlanta should sign this guy.
I remember him,he was no joke.tough as they come.it was like having the prisoners play.he was that tough.may GOD bless him always.
Just a pure savage and pure aggression. I ov e this style of blocking just destory whoever is infront of you and don't give a fuck what it takes. Amazing when you got legends like mean how and tommy job is saying you hit hard as hell you're a onr of a kind.
Bob Brown was a scary dude, if his knees kept healthy he probably would have shredded the Steel Curtain
These players look so much older than nfl players today,
We don't know Bob Brown like the household name Upshaw since he had an aggressive attitude with ownership as well as his on field competition.Old school ownership was the worse competition I would suppose. Boomer Brown is an HOFer that should be remembered.
As an additional comment, that Raider offensive line may have been the best ever. But, the Seventies Steelers were the better team!! Four Super Bowl wins to one. The Raiders still had a very difficult time moving the ball against that great defense. While the Oakland defense gave up too many rushing yards to Pittsburgh in those title games. They were by far the too best teams of that decade, though. Had it not been for the Steelers, the Raiders would have had three or more Lombardi trophies of their own.
Love that nfl films music
Bob was a straight tank
He put the fear of The Lord in defensive linemen
Lol! Tough men LC Greenwood and "Mean" Joe Greene trying to decide who doesn't want to take on Bob Brown. That says it all about Bob Brown. RAIDERS FOREVER!
BB was the 💣✊🏾played when RB's was the groundgame bread & butter (WE) can quip , comment all day long but the end of this clip with all these HOFamers speaks Volumes, the Raiders O line rarely gave up a sack , back then all the teams had 1or 2 great linemen, but to have 5 was on top
This is when true men played football
Bob Brown, Bobby Mix , Gene Upshaw, Jim Otto & Art Shell! Can The Raiders EVER have guys like them again. Take that Big, Bulky Wrapped thumb 👍 & put it in a defensive line man's Adam's Apple 🍎, give 'em something to think about other than the health of your QB & RB! playing like that takes having A MEANS STREAK 😡 ,not just technique. " You're trying to take out my Captain (QB)? U gotta go!"
Awesome!
Jim Lachey & Joe Jacoby both some monsters down in them trenches.
'I could block anything that was born from a woman'
Don't ever mess with a guy that talks like this
Back when football was fun, kinda, for some people. Glad he (Bob Brown) was hitting linemen not quarterbacks.
The raiders have always played dirty.
1:34 The NFL needs to go back to grass. Nothing like a game in the mud.
I’d rather fight a grizzly than play football against this man...
Boomer was born to be a raider , his arms were taped up hammers. They should get back to this style of football , ne fan .....super impressive
Earned the respect of an entire team of self- identified bad-asses without saying a word. Wow.
"I fear nothing that walks" Bob Brown
Bob Brown was big and mean, but at the end of the day, it's about the footwork, and he had superb footwork.
And that punch!
@@garysouza95 You gotta be there to deliver it.
Yep.
I'm a Chiefs fan, but I LOVE this....everyone talks about Dallas' offensive line in the 90s, but that Oakland o-line in the 70s was one of the best ever....
And you wouldn't have that great Raider's O line of the 70's if not for the great Chief's D line of the 60's.
@@UncleJakesRaidersVideos true indeed!!!!
He and Erik Williams probably the scariest meanest offensive lineman in NFL history
@@michaeltorres5331 tony bosili, and art shell, john hannah
@@UncleJakesRaidersVideos Facts.
By far the early 70s raider line is the greatest of all time and it's not even close.
@Keith nunya they were a good one.....still not even close.
90's Cowboys. Nate Newton, Stepnoski, Larry Allen, Mark Tuinei, Derrick Kennard
@Feathers and Arrows Fez and Turbans Hogs are close but I'm not sure that Raiders line isn't a bit better, and I say this as a huge Redskins and Hogs fan who watched them play in their prime.
It's obviously close. You just like them and that's fine
That O-Line is legendary!
If Mean Joe Greene says he's tough
mean joe greene admitted to being intimidated by Bob Boomer Brown. that is all you need to know about the man.
@@steveswangler6373 i don't think there could possibly be a more resolute endorsement of a man's bad-assness. Ever.
All I can say is WOW
He would have flattened Lawrence Taylor. Like Jim Covert did.
...he is tough, indeed!
Mean Joe he was looking through his ear hole after that play. Wow! "LC you can have him back now." Wow!
"There's some nice spleen there." I'm surprised he didn't knife anybody.
Well, he never got caught knifing anybody.
@@DOOM-cf8xj Is that a subtle OJ reference? 😏
Bob brown - ill hit him with my forearm.
John madden - ill make you cast for those arms.
Al Davis - put steel in them.

I miss old school football. I'd love to see a "real game"again. These players nowadays OMG did he just hit me lolololol. I'm gonna tweet about it now 😂💯
Longobardi Lounge ...I agree with you brother 👍🏿
The NFL sucks now. Too many penalties, commercials, timeouts and pregame hype.
It’s not they don’t make guys like this anymore , it’s more like the league don’t allowed guys like this anymore , the NFL gotten soft and every one that grew up in the early 70s to the late 90s knows what I’m talking about .
Yep. Waaaaayyy better back in the day. Total different feeling
Hmm, evertime a hard hit is made, a penalty flag is thrown for something
LOYAL 2 THE SOIL linemen are still nasty
Just gonna point out Bob Brown would be small for an offensive lineman now but I won't keep you from your fantasies.
@Clifford Driver I'm 40. I've seen enough. You could've googled "average nfl O lineman weight" and saw for yourself that Bob Brown is 40lbs lighter than a modern O lineman. Enjoy your fantasy.
Crazy how history doesnt remember him fondly despite being in HOF
Not a lotta love for O lineman
One of my all-time favorite Raiders. Also one of the nastiest O-Lineman to ever take a snap.
@@mikehoncho5658 No Hate, but NAH ----just alot of GMF dweeb millenial fans dont follow Real football players. I say.
@@latkagravas986 you literally just proved my point
Bro I got an autograph pic of Bob. Wish I could post it here. Shit is 🔥.
You notice how even when he was forming the pocket, he was always the one to initiate contact. He didn’t wait for the d to get to him, he would plant his foot at the last second and lay a hit. Beautiful display of football
Yep, but 78' pass rule should allow them to take advantage of that now, instead setting up back a yard. Dont make sense. But indeed.
I don't like the way OL ans DL play is now. It's not football. I don't know what it is.
These modern players that some people claim as the 'GOAT' wouldn't have survived a season against when defenses were allowed to be defenses and everyone played with a warrior mentality. Today it's flag football.
FUCKING A RIGHT!!!! My sport is boxing 🥊 and i say the same thing about most fighters from the early 2000’s to now!!!! That includes Floyd Jr!!!! Finding the real greats from the 60’s - early 90’s in the 130 - 160 pound weight classes, forget about it!!!!
NFL players from the early 2000’s playing against NFL greats from the 60’s - 90’s, forget about it!!!!
@@bryonwatkins1432 You guys just sound like the old heads who claim they used to ball out on the court. I could name hundreds of 2000's and later NFL players who'd still dominate in the 60's-90's era.
@@supergrover1746 They wouldn’t dominate. They’d be good, real good in fact!!!! Not dominate!!!! Oh, and yes, i’m bragging because i can!!!! Pushing 50, STILL jogging 4-6 miles five times a week IN combat boots AAAAAND spar well with guys half my age!!!! Soon, my miles will increase to 5-7 five times a week!!!! Nice 👍!!!!
@@bryonwatkins1432 Wouldn't dominate? I guess you're right if you aren't including Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Ladainian Tomlinson, Larry Fitzgerald, Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown, Calvin Johnson, Rob Gronkowski, Tony Gonzalez, Walter Jones, Jonathan Ogden, Alan Faneca, Zack Martin, Steve Hutchinson, Dwight Freeney, Michael Strahan, Warren Sapp, Aaron Donald, Ray Lewis, Derrick Brooks, Brian Urlacher, Zach Thomas, Bobby Wagner, Luke Kuechly, Patrick Willis, Champ Bailey, Charles Woodson, Darrelle Revis, Troy Polamalu, Ed Reed, and Brian Dawkins.
@@supergrover1746 EXACTLY!!!! Most here won’t!!!! The defense: Steel Curtain, Purple People Eaters, Orange Crush, 85 Bears Defense, 3-4 Defense with the Giants during LT’s, the 70’s Raiders Defense, even that powerful offense of the 1999 Rams, they would get shut down!!!!
Athletes then were meaner, HUNGRIER, and played against the same mental opposition!!!! Look up how the NFL has changed in play also!!!!
Why haven’t I heard of this warrior before?
You said that right my friend!!
WARRIOR!!!
I'd say because Oline players although crucial to the game are not appreciated by most fans becasue they don't score touchdowns. What a freakin beast... much respect for Bob Brown.
This guy is clearly a transcendent athlete, never heard of him before this but he looks like Calvin Johnson with an extra 150 lbs on him
Grimlock probably because you're too young
You're young. This shit they play now is for women. Learn about the forearm shiver.
I consider myself informed on the NFL , but hadn’t heard of this guy and glad I watched the video of probably the most intimidating lineman ever !.
Likewise. I’ve not seen so many intimidated testimonials such as these. Wow.
I never had either until 10 yrs ago. When mean joe said he was baddest man on planet and intimidated him. Wow.
At the time he was not real media savvy and was more of a loner. I.remember him with the rams. Bad knees the last few years of his career. Top 100 absolutely.
The Raiders of the 70's was there greatest decade. He was an awesome member of that era of Oakland Raiders football.
Man he definitely should have been in the NFL 100
He didn't win enough.
Yea, for sure Samuel.
@@tonybroderick4808 You're gonna blame that on an offensive lineman?
I think he didn’t play long enough. Just 9.5 seasons.
@@StFigarlandGarling That’s a long time in those days though 😂Either way he definitely one of the greatest
Bob Brown defined what it meant to be a rough and tough hand in the dirt lineman. Great Football player!
That dammmm music gets me every time I just wanna go hit something moving
At 48 seconds, sH#t gets real!
“There’s a lot of real nice meaty parts” lolol
I laughed my ass off when I heard that while simultaneously getting fired up as he characterized how he liked to hurt the opposing lineman.
Bro sound like Hannibal Lecter 😂
I read that after Bob Brown broke that wooden goal post with a forearm in training camp, John Madden left it that way as a "Welcome to the NFL moment" for rookies!
Legend has it that it was the first metal goal post , y u gotta say it was wood
think about that line Brown, Upshaw, Otto, Shell, Mix best ever?
YES!
Without question, and that's comparing them to some very fine O-lines including the early 90's Cowboys. The argument can be made.
And Henry Lawrence
@@cozycool3505 I forgotten about him yeah he was a baller
Playing against the chiefs front 7!
Bobby Bell, Willie Lanier, Curly Culp, Buck Buchanan (all HOF) as well as Jerry Mays and Jim Lynch.
Those were some battles.
Football Then:
Football today: Holding, holding, holding, illegal hands to the face, block to the back, blindside block, roughing the Quarterback if you fall/step on him on accident, holding, personal foul for unnecessary roughness, holding.

Mr. Slaughter Don't forget about those "defenseless receivers." Thanks for ruining our beloved game of football, Roger Goodell.
This guy was better than Gene Upshaw and Art Shell?
Debatable if better but more Bob Brown's aggressive style rubbed off on Art Shell and Gene Upshaw once traded to the Raiders so you may not have one without the other.
"Better has not been born yet"
damn straight...
He said that with authority!!!
@@blacktimhoward4322 Larry Allen made up the whole offensive line? Because he was talking about the combination of him, Ron Mix, Jim Otto, Gene Upshaw and Art Shell.
I've never heard a statement like that, damn
That was a great observation
They don't make them like they use to.
I know that's right my friend!!!!
Suh. Checkmate
I've never seen a player like this on the offensive line like this before!
How do you take out 4 guys by yourself? 😂😂😂
Mean Joe Green: Let me get him.
HIKE!
Helmet is twisted and shoes fly off.
Nice Joe Green: You can have him back.
Never heard of this guy but am I glad I did. Quite a well spoken gentlemen as well.
Offensive linemen usually are.
@@localneo-graphic4647 😁
Guys went to college to GRADUATE back then. I got $2,000 that said he had a job in the off season.

It's a vestigial organ...no biggie. Almost had to have mine removed.

He killed a mosquito with an axe. Yup that’s intimidating! 🦟 🪓 😂
Offensive linemen don't get the credit they deserve. Ask Emmitt Smith & Tom Brady how valuable a good offensive line is.
"all i remember after the play was over.. looking thru my ear hole of the helmet, and one shoe was off.." 😂😂
That's my type of guy. The young Raiders need to understand History of the Raiders. All that finesse BS can go out the door.
This Badass would position himself and attack defensive linemen. He didn't just "block." Great video! #RAIDERS
He always does initiated contact.perfect
If I was a quarterback I'd feel pretty damn good having Bob Brown in front of me...
This guy was one of the best ever!
Period!!
As a tackle myself, that block he made at 3:55 gives me goosebumps.
His footwork was incredible.
Its just sad he had to wait 30 some years to the hall of fame.
I think the selection process has some major flaws.
It does have major flaws almost to the point it's about to be a joke
I like how he wraps his arms like medieval warhammers and uses them as such.
