Here's a short documentary from an NFL Films production of "More Than A Game • Legends Of Autumn Vol V", featuring Carl Eller of the Minnesota Vikings...
Fearsome Foursome Gang tackle ! God I miss the Old players from back then ! They were Men who loved the Game, eachother and America ! Not like the pussies playing today !
I have one of his jerseys from back in the day when they were actually long sleeve and were so heavy and had so much cotton in it you could make 5 pair of jeans lol. Running with this thing on had to slow a player down. I compare it to my Hit man , hundred yr anniversary version and it’s night and day,
I watched Carl Eller from 1969 till 1973 ! I was Delighted and Disappointed in his Playing ! He was a Mostly exciting and Brilliant ! and then came The Super Bowl 4 ? What Happened ? Dave Hill the Right Tackle did a Excellent job on Eller ! He was pretty much nonexistent ! He was only outweighed by 23lbs !Minnesota was a Team that could Never win the Big one ! Hank Stram of KC Chiefs had much bigger players especially on defense ! Joe Kapp to me was Tough but was not as Good as Len Dawson ! Towards the end The Bigger KC Defense started to wear down the Viking Offense and Joe Kapp got the Crap kicked out of him ! Don’t get me wrong as far as I am concerned the 1970 Minnesota Vikings would have Dominated today’s Football teams ! Today’s teams don’t have the Love or devotion like they had back then ! Thank you Carl Eller and the Purple People Eaters ! And to All the Great and Talented Football Players alive and Dead for Entertaining us and Reminding us How Great America was back then and what Dedication was to your Sport ! The Last Great Football player has Retired and that was Tom Brady ! He was the only player who would have been As Great then as he was Before he retired !
Somebody put a clip of Alan Page: The Original JJ Watt. I would say JJ resembles Carl the best. The director said it best about being Carl appearing "as this imposing figure that lacks intellect but when it comes to work, he has high intellect and deep sensitivity to his craft. JJ is the same way.
Carl Eller Of The "Minnesota Vikings" Was Feared Greatly Among The Offensive Line!!! A Well-Disciplined Professional Football Player, That Knew The True Meaning And Wisdom Of Winning A Game. Carl Eller Is A "Legendary" Defensive End!!!!
Wrong way run game. Here's the fumble caused by Marshall and returned for a TD by Eller wich prove to be the difference in the game. in the game. Anyone else know that part of the story?? 0:25
Hey 6400az...."he" was there to screw up idiot!, what about you?,were you? or, do you have any over the horizon chance to be in the nfl to screw up?...if not, shut the fuck up, morone!
Hard to ever see anything better!
I just wish they could have won one Super bowl.
❤️ purple people eater Minnesota viking; get over it like one night stand with gorgeous looking woman
I know Fran Tarkenton Always Collapsed and so did Kapp ! It pissed me off !
Every QB got shivers when Eller said "Kick his teeth in".....! (LOL!)
Da director needs a "deacon Jones head slap"
Ikr

That director seemed to be testing Carl's patience. I'm kind of surprised and impressed with Carl's ability to keep his cool.
I think Samuel L. Jackson saw Carl Eller act, and thought to himself, "Hey, I can do that!'

The Last Great Football player has Retired and that was Tom Brady !
He was the only player who would have been As Great then as he was Before he retired !
I've said this elsewhere, carl Eller was one of the best DE to play the game.
If they only kept stats back then
@@dennismanley9891 they do ! Watch the Super Bowl 4 they’ll give you some !
Yes Carl you are one of the greats.
Actually in the upper echelon of greats.
A video of an HOF'er and great player.....NFL Films did a great disservice to him.
Didn’t need the acting portion !
Carl was contemplating kicking the Director’s ass for a second. 4:58.
Behind Deacon Jones, best defensive end ever.
Different Styles ! Deacon was a Lion and Eller was a Cheetah !
When i was a kid in the 60's he was my hero !! You could say he was my Micheal Jordan way back then ! One hell of a bad ass on the field !
Except for the Super Bowl 4 game ! I was so disappointed !
T he best defensive end
He was a great defensive end. Good thing he didn't have to make a living as an actor.
LOL LOL Agree
Agreed,should of told that producer where to go.After a good tackle🤣
That fool’s telling him he’s crossing his legs like a girl. Surprised Eller is so nice to him.
Yeah He reply didn’t need it ! But Zi guess He saw Jim Brown who was Not only the greatest Full Back Ever ! But was a Great Action Movie Actor !
@@jonmolina948 He wouldn’t say that Twice !
i want to see more of these actin scenes. that was quiet interesting
Bad ass when he was old.it 5 or 8 offficers to subdue him even a tazer didn't work.When he was 66 .
Ellen was such a friggin stud. On the football field, that is. Lol.

@@elderhardaway5674 Lawrence Taylor Reminded me of him ! I’ve Seen both in person play different years of course !
unfortunately 75% of the video is the silly acting rehearsal
That’s cause a DemoRat Made it ! Probably worked at CNN !
I hate stereotypes. Why do people think football players are dumb? He should have kicked that arrogant Director's head in.
I wanna fight that director 🤣🤣..then again it seems like carl requested the director be tough on him.
We love you in Ohio...... at least my family of Vikings do ... SKOL from Ohio brother !!!!
Yu humiliate Carl Eller?
Don't do that.
Some pussy director humiliating Carl Eller? The director is unskilled.
Interesting, but why so much time on the acting thing.
Maybe it shows that he was a good actor then a Defensive end.
Maybe it shows that he was a good actor then a Defensive end. Or maybe it shows that he was a better defensive end then a actor.
Claudius Bojowa he was pretty good but, that director got on my nerves
+Claudius Bojowa But he wasn't a good actor.

6400az Marshall ran it the wrong way.
Hey 6400az...."he" was there to screw up idiot!, what about you?,were you? or, do you have any over the horizon chance to be in the nfl to screw up?...if not, shut the fuck up, morone!
+K DOG I'm DEFENDING Marshall you piece of shit !! Learn to read and interpret otherwise YOU STFU !!
Ummm,................." that's what they tell me"
@@kdog3109 Moron has no "e" at the end.
A great DE he truly was, but as an actor? Well ... he wasn't Denzel Washington; that's for sure.
And Denzel couldn’t have played DE in the 60’s and 70’s !
I'm the 100th like
One of the Greatest DE NFL. History......Sorry but not an actor at all LOL
A great lineman in his day, but against today's monsters he'd be pushed around like a high schooler.
