Except when he met Roy Winston in the 1972 Viking game, Roy's hit on Larry almost decapitated him, one of the most brutal hits in the NFL, along with Carl kassulke brutal hit on Detroit Lions quarterback Greg Landry, they didn't call then the purple people eaters for nothing!!!!
I'll never forget the time that Larry Csonka got flagged for unnecessary roughness. There was Mike Curtis was the only obstacle between Csonka and the end zone. Larry chose to run through that obstacle and got flagged. Most ridiculous penalty of the day. Loved watching Larry bowl people over.
LOL, hate to tell you you DID forget !! The play you're talking about was on a Buffalo Bills db Pete Richardson......NO ONE runs over Mike Curt, not even Csonka !
Yeah when I talk to people about great running backs nobody ever brings up Larry Csonka. But I bring him up!One of The Great Powerhouses To Ever Run The Football 🏈! Up There with The Best of Them!
When I hear beast mode today when describing running backs it drives me nuts. You had three backs who ran hard all the time; Csonka, Campbell and the great Walter Payton. Could have highlights from a dozen other backs who ran just as hard in the day.
At 2:14.... wide receiver Sammie white of the Vikings never gets credit for actually holding on to that ball in the Super Bowl when he was hit by Jack Tatum😮
Oh yeah! The good old days, when it was okay to try to kill your opponent. Thank God we didn't have all these pussy ass rules they have now when I played
Listen Tom Brady is GREAT no doubt. But does anybody realistically think he would have played til he’s 45 let alone at the level he did if he was subjected to this level of punishment. Any QB stats pretty much from 2005 til Present are inflated through rule changes that heavily favored the Offense in particular the QB.
@@user-bu7ko2or8e unitas and Dawson were washed by the time they were 37 and were part time starters from that point on. Fran retired at 38 his worst . My point stands
I remember when Fredd Young destroyed Raiders WR/KR Jessie Hester (0.58) as if it was yesterday. Fredd was the Hawks best LB in the 80's and we should have paid him as such instead of Brian Bosworth. Go Hawks
LT the athletic ability he had was a thing of beauty to watch. I'm a Broncos fan and we have Von Miller, he is fast but LT was always in position and could move side to side backwards so easy. Like he wasn't even trying.
Blame the coaches and Father's in last 40 years of watching ESPN highlights. 1974 I was in 7th grade. Our helmets were 8 plastic straps that were snapped into top of helmet that snapped into a band that went around you forehead. Plastic chinstrap that didn't help but keep helmet from turning. Last thing you were taught was to tackle with your head. Actually 2 3 years before that, you tackle with your shoulder and wrap. You see players that have chinstrap not snapped on tight. Would you bat or let you kid bat without a helmet. That's what was funny. Batters helmets were snug . I got hit in head and it just tingled. Put a mask and chinstrap and ok. Even in 76 as Freshman. We had helmets from 10 years ago.
All you guys praising the brutal hits are just nuts. Players may suffer life-threatening injuries- in the name of what? just because it’s entertaining for you?
They'd send Csonka straight to jail today.
Love the fact that Larry Csonka was in many of these clips
Csonka was a beast.
Real man's football back in the day.
What is the official "back in the day" time period? Such a stupid indefinable term.
@@Rayburn58 you must be an angry person.
@@Rayburn58 Simp!
Old football was so much better
It was real
I miss this game.
Real football, please come back.
Csonka at 1:14 is what a power back is all about.
Except when he met Roy Winston in the 1972 Viking game, Roy's hit on Larry almost decapitated him, one of the most brutal hits in the NFL, along with Carl kassulke brutal hit on Detroit Lions quarterback Greg Landry, they didn't call then the purple people eaters for nothing!!!!
That's how a white man runs the football!!!
@@RobertMay-tr1yx My favorite team growing up!!... it's a shame they never won a Super Bowl?!,,,, Fran Tarkenton ,,Chuck Foreman et al!!
Now that's real football.
I couldn't help but notice that all these clips were from years, even decades, ago. Hard to find any hits worth re-watching in today's football.
These clips are from an old NFL film called Crunch Course. It's on youtube. It's my favorite NFL film.
What hits in today's game?
You’d be ejected and fined your life for hitting this hard now
I'll never forget the time that Larry Csonka got flagged for unnecessary roughness. There was Mike Curtis was the only obstacle between Csonka and the end zone. Larry chose to run through that obstacle and got flagged. Most ridiculous penalty of the day. Loved watching Larry bowl people over.
when csonka hit the goalpost he said "that last guy was really tough"
@@waltwilliams7063 LMAO.

Yeah when I talk to people about great running backs nobody ever brings up Larry Csonka. But I bring him up!One of The Great Powerhouses To Ever Run The Football 🏈! Up There with The Best of Them!
Butkus usually had more brutal hits in one game than some of these guys had in their whole career.
Terrific channel! I'm a fan for life! Love the music and visuals together.🏈🏉
bring back old school football
60 minutes of violence!
I love it too but there is a reason these guys die early with dementia.
That is old style American football, here's to the good Ole days, most wouldn't play the game today, baseball or basketball would be the choice.
Now THAT'S football!
When football was fun to watch and they played in the mud. Not on carpet.
When I hear beast mode today when describing running backs it drives me nuts. You had three backs who ran hard all the time; Csonka, Campbell and the great Walter Payton. Could have highlights from a dozen other backs who ran just as hard in the day.
John…effing…Riggins…less than 3 yards to go and everyone…everyone on the field KNEW #44 was getting the ball. And they seldom stopped him.
Before the NFL turned in to flag football it’s flag football now compared to what it used to be
Czonka was just rugged, he just didn’t go down, and that forearm shot of that he would use to shed tacklers was brutal.
Loved this!
Excellent!
John Riggins blocking at 2:44.
That's one of my favorite plays in the history of football, along with Butkus picking up that Browns RB while his legs are still churning! LOL
Could not stand "the rolling stones, until I heard this song .
I think Sammy White's helmet is still rolling around the Rose Bowl.
Yeah but he actually held on to the ball!...
Juro que los efectos de sonido son de un juego de football llamado "Gameday"
Excelente video, bro, desde México 🇲🇽 🤙🏾
Csonka was the original TANK
At 2:14.... wide receiver Sammie white of the Vikings never gets credit for actually holding on to that ball in the Super Bowl when he was hit by Jack Tatum😮
Csonk & Campbell we’re essentially mlb playing rb… both hurt more defensive players w/ legit injuries then any O players in nfl history.
"Son, you got to do better than this!"
Now that was a man's game,
@@roncaruso931 who gives a shit?
Fabulous. Anything after 1981?
Csonka once knocked a guy out cold with a forearm.
Imagine Brady was back n that era boy they would eat em alive
Oh yeah! The good old days, when it was okay to try to kill your opponent. Thank God we didn't have all these pussy ass rules they have now when I played
Bad ass jam!
The music ruined it.
Todays Refs would pee their pants with what Csonka used to do
Nice
I miss the good ole days! I leveled quite a bit of giants!
I can’t count how many Larry czonka hits there were
0:57 Damn that one was truly brutal
🇺🇸👍🏼
A grade old school football
We need to go back to this type of play in todays NFL. Hopefully the USFL will adopt this this season.
Too dangerous! Those days are gone forever in the NFL
Love watching Larry Csonka almost get cut in half by Viking LB Roy Winston.
he ran into a goalpost and said "that last guy was fjuckin tough"
This is when it was football, not this crap they put out today
Make Football Violent Again!
0:35 is by far the greatest truck of all time
And that was on one of the best, hard hitting LBs Isiah Robertson, who just recently passed away.
Kevin Mack used to really truck tacklers.
Listen Tom Brady is GREAT no doubt.
But does anybody realistically think he would have played til he’s 45 let alone at the level he did if he was subjected to this level of punishment. Any QB stats pretty much from 2005 til Present are inflated through rule changes that heavily favored the Offense in particular the QB.
Yes, Johnny Unitas , Len Dawson, and Fran Tarkington all did it.
@@user-bu7ko2or8e unitas and Dawson were washed by the time they were 37 and were part time starters from that point on. Fran retired at 38 his worst . My point stands
@everythingloveurlife4904 in your world of denial it does.
@@user-bu7ko2or8e lol u can’t debate what I wrote though. U can research this and verify in 5mins.
That was some viscous shit!
These are all from the NFL's crunch course video.
Thank you
NFL Crunch Course Video.
;33 ole 195 lb paul krause did a good job on zonk
Notice that there's no flags flying around
I remember when Fredd Young destroyed Raiders WR/KR Jessie Hester (0.58) as if it was yesterday. Fredd was the Hawks best LB in the 80's and we should have paid him as such instead of Brian Bosworth. Go Hawks
0:53 - Kinda think that might get a flag on 2021.
Nothing better that LT crushing it
LT the athletic ability he had was a thing of beauty to watch. I'm a Broncos fan and we have Von Miller, he is fast but LT was always in position and could move side to side backwards so easy. Like he wasn't even trying.
now all football is are men avoiding contact and just wanting to get paid so they dont try...
Kids pads!
Aaron Rogers wouldn’t be playing!
Yesterday
could you imagine todays players getting hit like this. lol would have to cart half of them off the field in the firs quarter lol
Dude they act like they wanted to kill yea
CTE later.
NFL now is a softer safety first game.

Yes. Some men were born to be gladiators and most would do it again. I respect the hell out of these dudes.
Who is Chiefs player at 0:23?
That's the Atlanta Falcons and it was Ray Easterling.
that was fuckin cool ending b4 the stones did
Thanks
@@GENXTRAA isaiah dint even know what hit him
@@waltwilliams7063 out of 800 billion years of football -only 2 or 3 men can run rough like that
@@GENXTRAA im a drunken 65 year old headed for federal prison but you allright
@@waltwilliams7063 hang in there!
Lame. go back 20 years, that was football. No domes, hardly any rules, lol
Every play back then would end up as a flag in todays Soy Infused NFL
L t on joe thiesman and was was hit
Music sucked....Just let us hear the players hit down on the field, rather than playing the neanderthal music. Larry Csonka was King!!!!!
LAME !
