Miss Bob, 2024 and gotta stop and watch his vids. Bob really didn't have any brakes, just full force into anyone. What a pleasure to watch as an Indy fan.
@loopholejackson5711 didn't Earl Thomas? Not sure just asking. He's like 5'8 too lmao Bob wasn't that great at angling his hits. He did hit like a mack truck, but he cost himself his health
I don’t know whether to be happy or sad watching these highlights man. This guy was truly great, but his luck was not. Either way, thank you bob sanders. I love football because of you.
@@Anaksi8 sean t was great at everything but especially playing the ball and big hits not just run d specifically, troy p is the best run d safety if it’s not sanders it’s close
Troy was like Bob without all the injuries, Bob would have been a beast for sure the only 2 seasons he got on the field for most of the games he was all pro and def player of the year
He was the last dangerous tackler (call it “old-school” if you prefer) He once said “a lot of guys try to knock the other guy out. I try to knock myself out.”
I love you Bob. You were absolutely the best strong safety in the game that there ever was. Doesn’t matter what highlights I watch. You were on a completely different level. You couldn’t be bargained with, you couldn’t be reasoned with, and you absolutely would not stop. Your nickname should have been the “Terminator!” Thank you for being the best colt to ever wear the blue and white!!!!
I dont think there has been a better era for safeties than 2000-2010. Ed Reed, Troy Polamalu, Bob Sanders, Sean Taylor, Brian Dawkins. Jesus Christ what an era.
Don’t forget John Lynch, Adrian Wilson (crazy underrated), Mike Brown, Darren Sharper (before he became a serial rapist), Roy Williams, and Rodney Harrison.
I was so sad when this video ended, I could watch Bob Sanders highlights all day long....He was such a force out there, too bad he was injured so often.
Bob played 2 full seasons. He got 1st team all pro both of them, and Defensive player of the year once.. That's all you need to know. Had this man 3 more healthy seasons, he'd be in the HOF.
@@drstephenbond1585 I actually had it mixed up. He only played 4 games the year we won it all & came back just in time for the playoffs then he had the full healthy season next year. But yeah if he had another full season we definitely would’ve won another
Best ever? U on crack? Not even close. Durability is a part of the game. Hall of fame? Hardest I've laughed since whenever someone brings up Edelman as a hall of famer.
What I like about him is every single time he made a great play he didn't get in the face of the opponent and talk crap he went straight to his boys and let them in on his greatness and got them all pumped up and in a good mood
Got a chance to meet him a a colts camp in Terre Haute at Rose Hulman. He took the time to talk to me for about 10 minutes. I have his jersey to this day
@@carsonwentzisfat4623 Freeney & Mathis were the 2 best combo duo to ever do it. Freeney was only good at the pass rush, he didn’t do so well at run stop. But Freeney was one of the colts best defense of player. If he was never hurt going into the super bowl we loss, I truly believe colts would have beaten saints.
I love his style of play! What a ferocious player. He played the game like it is supposed to be played. We will always love you Bob Sanders! Thank you for the memories!😊
What a legend. The amount of speed and heart he played with is unmatched Great win for the colts today. Our D hasn’t been this scary since 2006. Hoping we can take advantage of this elite roster and get anotha ring! 💙🤍
People don’t understand that he changed the attitude of the entire defense. When he was on the field all other teammates’ attributes went up 10+. When he was off…-10
You just can’t do it today it’s almost like the league won’t let these guys go full out...I get head injuries and whatnot but it’s a full contact sport you’ve signed up for lol
Bob Sanders is one of the BEST safeties to EVER play the position. Thank you for posting this greatness!! This was a time when football was a REAL SPORT.....not the soft nonsense of today riddled with poor officiating and SOFT rules.
What a lot of people don't know, is Bob was one hell of a running back in high school, at Erie Cathedral Prep. I had the pleasure of watching him, his whole career. Very proud of this man, 814 Erie Pa... Thanks for the memories...
I was a kid when he was in his early years, but Bob was one of the reasons I loved and continued doing football as a kid, Him and Freeney were my role models i would write about in kindergarten other than my dad haha. Loved watching some clips I don't remember cause of how young I was. Truly a Colts Legend
I was lucky enough to see him in college. He was largely underrecruited because of his size and ended up pretty much every Iowa fans favorite defensive player.
What a great video, props to you brother. Not many recognize or respect Bob Sanders, the greatest Colts safety to do it. If it weren't for the injuries he would universally be known as a top 3 safety of all time EASY. Should be a HOFAMER no question!
I was at that Houston game. I as a writer was fortunately chosen to write,and produce the Colt's team song in October of 03.(Getting Colt's Crunk). Marketing director gave me six floor tickets for the season. I couldn't believe how close I was to the action.
For the time that Bob was healthy - he played safety as well as ANYBODY I've ever seen including Ed Reed, Ronnie Lott and Troy Polamalu. Dude only had two full seasons and won DPOY in one of them AND a Super Bowl. AND he still has 12 minutes worth of actual highlights from basically just two seasons. Wow.
@mylesbryan agreed you don't see guys at saftey hit like that anymore. And those other plays where he took on Jones drew. I don't think anyone else has ever taken down Maurice Jones drew like that
Big part of why we went to the Super bowl and won that year he was injured alot and came back right before playoffs and he made such a difference in our defense.
Loved watching bob when he was healthy man he was as good as any strong safety in the league for a guy not much bigger than 5”8 5”9 he was amazing against the run a beast
When I was growing up in Indiana bob sanders was my favorite player and he was the reason we won the super-bowl, it was heartbreaking when he had his career ending injury.
Some "big hitters" would only hit when they had a free shot at a receiver. That wasn't Sanders. Loved this dude when I was coming up playing football, amazing tackler.
Those were some great years. Manning, Harrison, Wayne, Clark, James, Sanders, Jackson, Glenn, Diem, Freeney, Saturday, Stokley, Vinatiere. All just straight ballers.
Ya this dude was firing himself out of a cannon at people twice his size and knocking them out, it's no wonder he was never healthy but he put on one hell of a show
Bob definitely embodied "Here for a good time, not a long time".
This was said today on pat mcafees show talking about ol bob lmao
Well the dude was like 5’7 when you play like him at his size just impossible to play that long .
💯
well said and tragically true in Bob's case..dynamic player when healthy a game changer..his body just couldn't handle it..
@Jonathan Zadora Brian Dawkins took those hits, and gave them for like 16 years. Some people can take it. It's just up to luck sometimes.
The era of great safeties will truly be missed
Miss Bob, 2024 and gotta stop and watch his vids. Bob really didn't have any brakes, just full force into anyone. What a pleasure to watch as an Indy fan.
Imagine what could’ve happened if this dude could’ve stayed healthy... probably would’ve been in the conversation for greatest safety of all time
He's right there imo
No
All I see is baby sean t
If you have a brain and eyes you'll realize he was literally top 5 greatest safety in history
@@jamesmills6798 no like frfr
Bob Sanders really needs to get more credit for what he did in Indy.
Not really. 2 seasons? Dirty hits. Hurt himself playing. God bless him and all. But nah he just caused too much havoc and not in a good football way
@@Twizzler300indy trash
@@Lanipsey2pacrunLA nipsey is dead let it go, get off your knees
@@Twizzler300Naa for someone only 5’8 He was really good in defense and he won Dpoy as a 5’8 safety

Best run support safety of all time
Him and S. Taylor
That goes to troy polamalu
@@Anaksi8 sean t was great at everything but especially playing the ball and big hits not just run d specifically, troy p is the best run d safety if it’s not sanders it’s close

He once said “a lot of guys try to knock the other guy out. I try to knock myself out.”
Sounds like the Chuck Cecil way.
Whitner was
REAL football.
*Brian Dawkins*
Guy was an animal at Iowa back in 2003.
I love you Bob. You were absolutely the best strong safety in the game that there ever was. Doesn’t matter what highlights I watch. You were on a completely different level. You couldn’t be bargained with, you couldn’t be reasoned with, and you absolutely would not stop. Your nickname should have been the “Terminator!” Thank you for being the best colt to ever wear the blue and white!!!!
My favorite parts of your vids like this is to keep the commentators praises of the player continuing through the highlights.
I dont think there has been a better era for safeties than 2000-2010. Ed Reed, Troy Polamalu, Bob Sanders, Sean Taylor, Brian Dawkins. Jesus Christ what an era.

My favorite safety of all time,played with so much passion and energy..bad ass dude
Sanders was a car crash looking for a place to happen. He was amazing.
Poetic and accurate
Hard football hits are mini car crashes...trust me getting blind sided is worse then being rear ended lol
Of we leave longevity and accomplishments out of the conversation, he is one of the best safeties ever.
Hats off to the creator of this vid. Honestly an amazing piece of work
Never will see one player impact the playoff season like Bob Sanders did in 2006. He was the reason they got to the SuperBowl and won it that year.
Bob played 2 full seasons. He got 1st team all pro both of them, and Defensive player of the year once.. That's all you need to know. Had this man 3 more healthy seasons, he'd be in the HOF.
Loved using the hitstick with Bob Sanders back on Madden 2006-2007.
He was such a beast, shame injuries were always tied to him.
When you’re 5’8 and running at people like a missile your body starts to break down
I think if he had one more healthy season the Colts get another another championship
@@drstephenbond1585 if he was healthy the season after he won DPOY I feel like we could’ve gone back to back
@@drstephenbond1585 I actually had it mixed up. He only played 4 games the year we won it all & came back just in time for the playoffs then he had the full healthy season next year. But yeah if he had another full season we definitely would’ve won another
@@E3litecompany football destroys your body period
Bob Sanders, Antoine Bethea, Dwight Freeney, Robert Mathis, Gary Brackett, Cato June, Nick Harper
They were THEM
Best safety to ever play the game. He didn’t play much but when he did there was no one better. He should be in the hall of fame.
Best ever? U on crack? Not even close. Durability is a part of the game. Hall of fame? Hardest I've laughed since whenever someone brings up Edelman as a hall of famer.
@@K37-h1zThe best. Ever
That’s such a pathetic statement 😂
Sean Taylor would like a word
@@K37-h1zyou had me, untill u mentioned edelman being laughable. He's the best playoff wr ever. That means something.
First guy on my Colts all time defense. All time impact on the field, and in my heart. Love to you, Bob.
Yeah cant forget freeney, mathis and gary brackett too
Miss you Bro ✊🏾 thanks for the memories!

@@ripplerocket
Class
Best defense of player for the colts ever!
His and Reggie was the only jersey I have but Lenard is great also.
@Kyle Deming Leonard is up there too, but bob sanders was everything why our defense did so well in the 06 playoffs to win our Super Bowl!
Dwight Freeney?
@@carsonwentzisfat4623 Freeney & Mathis were the 2 best combo duo to ever do it. Freeney was only good at the pass rush, he didn’t do so well at run stop.

For 1 year? Probably, he is the only colt to win Defensive player of the year ever
I love his style of play! What a ferocious player. He played the game like it is supposed to be played. We will always love you Bob Sanders! Thank you for the memories!😊
This guy started the great defense it still is today at Iowa. His college highlights are just as insane.
I love reading the stats and scores on the bottom of the screen. Brings back so many memories! Warrick Dunn, Lavernius Cole, Willie Parker 😩
Wow, the good old days!
He was ridiculously strong, and you could tell John Madden loved him the way he would talk about him.
Just hit 10k subscribers last week. Thank you to all of you!
Thank you to you. You made awesome videos :)
You are the best
What a legend. The amount of speed and heart he played with is unmatched
Great win for the colts today. Our D hasn’t been this scary since 2006. Hoping we can take advantage of this elite roster and get anotha ring! 💙🤍
I N D Y
Our defense this year brought me back here too man miss my guy but he would get fined every week in today's league lol
@@thelonely6268 you ain't even lying. If Bob could've stayed healthy he's wearing a gold jacket imo
@@RLSmith-jt8qj there is no doubt about that, this dude put on a clinic on how to tackle elusive backs and QBs for a loss in open space
* FOR THE SHOE *
Mathis is Teaching Kwity hand drills
He was the reason they captured the SB that year after he came back from his injury 💪🏾 that lil dude was scary
Without Bob colts were done. He literally changed everything
He definitely deserved SB MVP that year over Manning but QB bias was alive and well
People don’t understand that he changed the attitude of the entire defense. When he was on the field all other teammates’ attributes went up 10+. When he was off…-10
Facts. I never seen a player change a defense as drastically as bob did
new pod episode reviewing great colts of the past???
@@Evan.S.007 Sounds like it would be fun! We’ll get around to it soon 💙🤍
Sounds like your describing brian dawkins 😅 @@isakallen
God damn this level of defensive play got me hyped AF for game day!!
Just 1 of the all time greatest defenders in the league. The energy and the instincts maybe the best.
Do people not realize the reason that he was injured so much was cause of his style of play? Dude sacrificed his body every hit he made
Thats what football should be
Unfortunately that's also what made him great, his style of play
No sacrifice. No victory.
He had to standing at only 5'8
You just can’t do it today it’s almost like the league won’t let these guys go full out...I get head injuries and whatnot but it’s a full contact sport you’ve signed up for lol

Never been a safety like him since
Very unique player
Still go back to watch Bob play not even a colts fan but truly loved the way he played
I really hope Sanders is doing well, he gave everything he had to Indy and I genuinely hope his body is holding up

The Colts should show this clip in every DB meeting.
Best safety Ive ever seen .
Basically
One of my favorite videos by you. Bob was one of my favorite players.
Big play Bob, The Human Fire hydrant, The Eraser, Bullet Bob. Call him what you will he was a beast
Collin, never stop what you’re doing. You make better videos than any NFL network editor. Keep it up!

My brother always idolized Ed Reed and Polamalu but I knew something was special about Bob Sanders. N John Madden always loved him too.
Absolute heat seeking missile. Loved him!

Thanks bob for all the great memories in 06 07 u were the defense.
Great video ! Bob Sanders was a beast. So happy he got a super bowl ring.
What a player
Bad ass "Bed Time" Bob Sanders.. Put this man in the HOF ASAP..
What an honor to pick off one of the greatest QB’s of all time
Awesome! Man! I loved that dude... Hitting Machine !!! He Wrecked Shit Up!!! One of my all time favorite players... Go Colts!!!
You are a legend Collin!
Big part of why we went to the Super bowl and won that year he was injured alot and came back right before playoffs and he made such a difference in our defense.
I was gonna say the same thing, bob was awesome. Later and Hoosier n the house
I'm so glad that you put this together. He was such a beast. Can we role back the clock?
This dude on of the best hitters of all time period man sheesh !! Monster
That Colts defense was just different when he was playing
Loved watching bob when he was healthy man he was as good as any strong safety in the league for a guy not much bigger than 5”8 5”9 he was amazing against the run a beast
Listed 5'8" 206 by PFR
Truly put his whole body in every hit
This was great thanks. I haven’t seen some of these highlights in a long time.
Hall of fame instincts man. Wish we had more of this guy
Bob gave it all every damn time, love me some of the the one and only.
Goodness the tackling technique of this guy
I assume you don’t mean that in a good way.
Imo the most dominant safety ever, when he played healthy he was a literal game changer
Colts was nasty team back in old days miss that dude
When Bob was healthy he was as good as any safety. I'm a eagles fan but everybody know Bob gave the colts a crazy defense bonus
A healthy Bob Sanders equals a Colts dynasty
One of the best safety’s
When I was growing up in Indiana bob sanders was my favorite player and he was the reason we won the super-bowl, it was heartbreaking when he had his career ending injury.
