1972 I was a freshman in high school I have been watching Joe all my life we went to college he was in session when He to the pros and did what he did on Monday night football Port Arthur,Texas Abraham Lincoln high school. This is what we saw for 4yrs We actually love Our JOE. Yes we still do right on homeboy right on🙏🏾💎❤️🌟
I had the pleasure of meeting him once. I asked him what it was like to play in the NFL. He told me, put on pads and a helmet, line up ten yards from a brick wall, then run full speed into it every forty seconds for an hour, or so.
This man will always be in the hearts of the people. In Port Arthur Texas, especially the ones that comes from Abraham Lincoln, High School . Yes we still love our LITTLE Joe 2401 right on Homeboy Right On !!
The Monday Night game where he single-handedly led the Baltimore Colts to a win over the Pats was the most incredible individual performance I’ve ever witnessed.
Joe Washington turned a ho hum Monday Night game in 1978, (as a Colt) into maybe one of the top Monday Night games of all time, when he single handedly beat the New England Patriots. On a rain slicken-ed field (second half) in Foxboro, he electrified a national audience, by passing for a td, returning a kick off back for a td, and catching a td pass. Cosell went out of his mind.
I have watched highlights of the most elusive backs that the NFL has ever witnessed like Gale Sayers, O.J., Barry Sanders, Marshall Faulk, Reggie Bush, Barkley and McCaffrey. But, Joe Washington had elusiveness from out of this world!
It's a shame that Joe Washington never won the Heisman. I believe he's the greatest RB and all-around player who never won it. I could be a little prejudiced because Little Joe was always my favorite but I don't think so.
DUDE! He is a clone of Gale Sayers! Why don't people revere him for his jukeing wizadry?! Is it that he doesn't have the stats, or that he was overshadowed by the Diesel in DC during the most successful period of his career?
I remember as a kid that Monday night coming out party against the Pats. Everyone in class wanted to know where this guy came from. Super Joe!!! How did the Colts let him go?
This is sweet TD. Just before my time of remembering and watching OU running backs, but some of my first memories from my seat in San Diego were of Joe Washington. He would have loved Coryells offense.
Among us port arthurians, the running debate is who is the greatest rb from the city, Joe Washington or Jamaal Charles.. Jamaal broke most if not all of Joes city's rushing records
I loved Joe at OU, with the Colts and the Redskins-- he was such a great running back-- He was a big part of the Skins best teams in the early 80's. Thanks for the memories 24, 20, 25, how the Chargers and Colts traded him i dont know.
NOW WHY IS IT THAT WE NEVER SEE JOE WASHINGTON'S RUNS & PLAYS IN WHICH IS AS AWESOME AS ANY I HAVE EVER SEEN, HIM TERRY METCALF & ERIC METCALF OR JUST A FEW OF THE BEST TO EVER RUN, JUKE, SHAKE, SPIN IN MOTION & HURDLE MEN IN FULL VOLOCITY*
TD- how bout an hour long segment on just the 'Deep Threats' at the wideout spot from the 1970's- so many unheralded guys nobody talks about Wesley Walker, Kenny Burrough, Branch, Roger Carr, Stanley Morgon, Lofton just to name a few. Maybe just from '78 to '88- a full 10 years with the rule changes. I just seem to remember many players making a habit of catching bombs regularly-
College football went thru the Big 8 Conference, basically OU and N. His double was Johnny Rodgers...Gimme that funky turf, tear away jerseys and Keith Jackson making the call. Joe was Baaaaaaad !! Thanks!
look back ... see where barry sanders got some moves ... and added on ... man is redskins did a posse ... and played washington for first half and diesel the second half ... scary ... they had monk , didier, 89 , 30 , warren , brown , put washington and rig in the back field ... bring washing to nor into slot or rig into tightened .. 30 could be a slot racier hb as well ... hd a lot of talent ... saved it for when in a hole ... like to see his stats sheet ... need to play him more to get the bonuses . minus some bad plays for possible going too the house .. lol. he was on high flying chargers offense then it seems, .
I remember watching a Redskins game in the early 80s and Joe Washington got the ball and juked in every direction and then outran the entire Redskins team and all he saw was defense in front of him and he actually had time to stop, turn around and based on his body gestures he was screaming at his teammates, "WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?" then turned back around and wiggled through more defense before being tackled. The rest of the offense eventually didn't catch up to him.
Excellent!!! What could have been IF those IDIOTS in San Diego had not traded him before Don Coryell arrived. I am betting another 10-12 points a game avg. What a talent. Too bad that there is not more OU footage and better quality footage available for all of us. I am sure your offering would have been even better if there was more to work with, and it is as I stated Excellent!!
It is a nice idea....But... There are 2 items that are a bit tough. 1 Don C. and "D" are almost a no go. Plus his idea was to just out score you. The other is that for Mike S to become what he did was in no small part do to Buddy Ryan. I have a friend who was on the "D" with Singletary and he in no small part got as far as he did do to the sculpting of the "D" around the personal. Just look at the (my opinion (but I am not alone) Archie Manning, the best QB straight out of college to the pros and what happened to him. Ryan genius was in putting people in a position where they could do what they did to the highest level. Speaking of Archie...What if he was placed in his prime into the QB spot in SD instead of Dan F. Isn't imagination great? In any case I love your offering. Joe was some talent. Speaking of Talent (Joe) and misuse (Archie) look at This guy and think what if he, and his skill set had been built around, instead of being just tossed out there with a do this game plan. have you ever seen a better set of physical skills, or mechanics? Oh and lets not forget arm strength. th-cam.com/video/TA4bzCITebA/w-d-xo.html
Hi again. I see you have a Wes C video. So I was wondering IF you happened to have other Charger stuff, like whole games? Like the 1986 Dolphins at Chargers? Thanks
Thanks for the reply. I am always looking for games and anything that is OU or Joe W is a good thing. I have a number of games but none of the SD Little Joe stuff. I do have the 86 game but your pic quality looks better than whet I have, and better is better. If you want a list of my games please let me know. phlmyr@aol.com Thanks again. I am sure I will watch Joe many more times.
Hello Harvey will you be making a Dan Fouts, Dan Marino, Charlie Joiner, James Lofton, Marks Brothers (Clayton & Duper), Kellen Winslow Sr, The late great Chuck Muncie, John Elway, Warren Moon, & Terry Bradshaw highlight videos in the very near future at your earliest convenience???
Shiiit son, from about the 4-10 minute mark some of the most awesome NFL films music ever. Of course if you were born after 1980 you wouldn't understand, you probly used to some jive ass punk ass crap they play on the highlights today

He proved in his era that little guys can play in the NFL.
Joe Washington was a Scatback like Tony Pollard

The Monday Night game where he single-handedly led the Baltimore Colts to a win over the Pats was the most incredible individual performance I’ve ever witnessed.
He ran a punt back for a TD, a kickoff for a TD, had a run for a TD, caught a pass for a TD and threw a pass for a TD yep
I saw that game. Joe was gold that night. He did it all on a wet field.

Hahaha he was an amazing talent!
before barry sanders there was joe washington
Before Barry Sanders, there was Billy Sims.
I remember watching him play. He was a great little player. A lot of fun to watch. 🏈
2024 I’m visiting dis bro was cold
Thank you Tim Dirks. My fav player of all time.
I have been a friend of Jo's since 1974.
I have watched highlights of the most elusive backs that the NFL has ever witnessed like Gale Sayers, O.J., Barry Sanders, Marshall Faulk, Reggie Bush, Barkley and McCaffrey. But, Joe Washington had elusiveness from out of this world!
We grew up with awesome backs but I will never forget watching this guy run
There were a lot of backs who got more attention but as a kid I really liked this guy...especially in the short pass game
He had some moves fun to watch
Joe proved that guys his size could play and do well in his era of the NFL.
I watched him as a kid...he was Electric
Joe isn't remembered like he should. A lot of people don't realize he was a top 25 all time talent at RB.
It's a shame that Joe Washington never won the Heisman. I believe he's the greatest RB and all-around player who never won it. I could be a little prejudiced because Little Joe was always my favorite but I don't think so.
DUDE! He is a clone of Gale Sayers! Why don't people revere him for his jukeing wizadry?!
Is it that he doesn't have the stats, or that he was overshadowed by the Diesel in DC during the most successful period of his career?
All of the above
Sooner Nation Remembers😎
I remember him as runner in Baltimore and pass catcher in DC. Man, was he good in both cities at what he did!
Wow this guy was a spectacular RB during his playing career. He ran with great speed balance power and vision.
Not only did Joe have them feets, he had them hands too! What a RB! Word up! 😃
BreuckelensFinest and an arm and a leg. He punted a quick kick against Texas 76 yards.
my fave of all time. great compilation, thanks.
Galloping ghost of the grid iron !!!
"Smoke through a Keyhole" _Barry Switzer
I remember as a kid that Monday night coming out party against the Pats. Everyone in class wanted to know where this guy came from. Super Joe!!! How did the Colts let him go?
As a Redskins fan I was so happy we traded a 2nd round pick for him.
Not only did the San Diego Chargers trade Joe Washington to Baltimore for Lydell Mitchell, they threw in a 5th round draft choice. Inconceivable.
i had a poster of him in my room as a kid. he was the very best and thanks for posting
He was EVERY BIT as good as 'White Shoes' Johnson but got less than half the press.
The original Barry Sanders
Or Bush
This is sweet TD. Just before my time of remembering and watching OU running backs, but some of my first memories from my seat in San Diego were of Joe Washington. He would have loved Coryells offense.
The great Joe Washington......nice guy, met him years ago at a store I managed, he became a friend and a customer, and he is a very good golfer.....
I kinda think it's ironic that Joe Washington actually played in Washington
Among us port arthurians, the running debate is who is the greatest rb from the city, Joe Washington or Jamaal Charles.. Jamaal broke most if not all of Joes city's rushing records
You were like watching zJordan..thank you
I loved Joe at OU, with the Colts and the Redskins-- he was such a great running back-- He was a big part of the Skins best teams in the early 80's. Thanks for the memories 24, 20, 25, how the Chargers and Colts traded him i dont know.

Joe washington the first to ware them googles later san diego wide receiver john jefferson and then running back rams eric dickerson.
So underrated. Before there was Marshall Faulk, there was Joe Washington.
TD- how bout an hour long segment on just the 'Deep Threats' at the wideout spot from the 1970's- so many unheralded guys nobody talks about Wesley Walker, Kenny Burrough, Branch, Roger Carr, Stanley Morgon, Lofton just to name a few.

I'll nvr forget you Joe. ❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯
College football went thru the Big 8 Conference, basically OU and N. His double was Johnny Rodgers...Gimme that funky turf, tear away jerseys and Keith Jackson making the call. Joe was Baaaaaaad !! Thanks!
One of my all time favorite players!
He was a great back, remember him as a kid in the 70s watching the NFL.
We need more like him. I remember watching him and how quick he was dashing and ducking the big D. We loved him.
Guys his size can't play running back and be effective in this era of the NFL.
Yeah , ole joe was a joe .
Reggie who?
What if Joe never left San Diego and was around when Coryell arrived.
oh goodness... probably HOF
look back ... see where barry sanders got some moves ... and added on ... man is redskins did a posse ... and played washington for first half and diesel the second half ... scary ... they had monk , didier, 89 , 30 , warren , brown , put washington and rig in the back field ... bring washing to nor into slot or rig into tightened .. 30 could be a slot racier hb as well ... hd a lot of talent ... saved it for when in a hole ... like to see his stats sheet ... need to play him more to get the bonuses . minus some bad plays for possible going too the house .. lol. he was on high flying chargers offense then it seems, .
back when OU was nasty on the ground and on defense.
I remember watching a Redskins game in the early 80s and Joe Washington got the ball and juked in every direction and then outran the entire Redskins team and all he saw was defense in front of him and he actually had time to stop, turn around and based on his body gestures he was screaming at his teammates, "WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?" then turned back around and wiggled through more defense before being tackled. The rest of the offense eventually didn't catch up to him.
Joe was doing what chuck foreman wanted
To do , but couldn't.
Different type backs
I also liked Foreman...and Mat Blair
Excellent!!! What could have been IF those IDIOTS in San Diego had not traded him before Don Coryell arrived. I am betting another 10-12 points a game avg. What a talent. Too bad that there is not more OU footage and better quality footage available for all of us. I am sure your offering would have been even better if there was more to work with, and it is as I stated Excellent!!
How about this scenario? Chargers keep Little Joe so they don't have to draft James Brooks in 1981 so they take Mike Singletary.
It is a nice idea....But... There are 2 items that are a bit tough. 1 Don C. and "D" are almost a no go. Plus his idea was to just out score you. The other is that for Mike S to become what he did was in no small part do to Buddy Ryan.

Hi again. I see you have a Wes C video. So I was wondering IF you happened to have other Charger stuff, like whole games? Like the 1986 Dolphins at Chargers? Thanks
I have a few whole games but they are already out there on youtube. I do not have the 86 Chargers/Dolphins game.

Thanks again. I am sure I will watch Joe many more times.
Nice.
Top end speed wasn't really that great.
ya lester hays ran him down, joe was probley a 4.5 at best

James Lofton coming soon. the others are all possible with the exception of Moon. Don't have much of his tape.
i spit out my coffee
#24 just invented ways to "matriculate the ball down the field". That continued to be true no matter what number Joe wore😎
Joe wsa electric and dazzling. Is he in the hall of fame?
College football HOF
Boomer!
Get rid of that corny ass Cracker Jack Music.
It does not match up with Joe Washington in any way.
