During the '70s The Raiders defense was brutal and yes they did want to hurt you and they admitted it, That's the way the NFL was back then, The game was real back then!
Had to be a tough bastard to play then. Like Tatum said "first one to cry about it was a sissy". You know you didn't want that label. Probably half of the NFL players had another job. Smoked and drank and partied like most 20 somethings with a little extra money. It was a dangerous sport for aggressive young men and America loved it. They were just learning there was money in TV and started having the networks bid to broadcast the games.

Im born and raised in jerzey. The whole reason im a raiders fan is finding their videos from this era. I emulated them in high school and continue to in semi pro. Something about the raiders draws me to them.
cool. it was a magical time to be a Raiders fan in the 70's. Unlike today, where they are popular all over the country, they were the most hated team then for their rough play and bending of the rules such as wide receivers and cornerbacks using a tree sap like substance on their hands to get an advantage at catching the ball, offensive lineman and linebackers using plaster casts underneath their arm pads and finding ways to commit penalties without the referees seeing them do it. Their motto in the 70's was, "if you are not cheating, you are not trying".
The Raiders team has an Aura that no other team has, plus the Raider fans have a comradery like no other, I can see someone wearing the silver and black, yell RAIDERS! And they'll yell back or we can talk and become friends. Love being a Raider fan!! Just wish we'd get to the Super Bowl again!
@@robertpreston2220 So, what? They came up against all-time teams in the playoffs, not their fault. Between 1967-1975, they lost to the eventual SB Champion in the playoffs 7 times. They played in 5 straight AFC Championships. And they got two more SB in short order in the 1980s. Great team.
These Raiders were my introduction to the NFL as a 10 year old. My dad and uncles would gather to watch them play and my cousins and I would be right there watching. It just stuck. Life time Raider Nation.
All of these defensive hits would be flagged in today’s NFL. I am glad that I am old enough to remember the NFL of the 70’s & 80’s when football was football

I saw a film where Atkins while making an attempt to tackle a receiver in the Superbowl 11 vs the Vikings he gave the ball carrier/reciever a look so frightening the guy froze up in fear and Atkins twisted his entire helmet sideways to the point where the guys ear pads was over his mouth! That made me laugh 😂😂😂 Boy the Raiders had some serious mfs on Defense...they were all savages!
steelers ? cowboys ? raiders ? LOL back then it was Miami and the no name defense .. and the czonk, and warfield , kick, mandich , greise , morral, buonoconti , little , langer , scott, morris, oh , and only 6 losses in 3 years , 2 super bowl wins a perfect season , and a record of 44-6 ........
The Raiders were not even in the N.F.L. In 1964 they were in the A.F.L. Two entirely different leagues that didn’t even play each other until 3 years later.
@@macksmith4380 Exactly. And no way in hell Brady would still be playing in his 40s back in them days going against a dangerous defensive teams this Raiders team and Oilers aka house of pain era. They would plummeted his ass right out of the league with the quickness 😂😂
@sour airhead Tatum put plenty of big hits against Tight Ends back then that were as big as the big WR's today. He knocked out the Broncos TE Riley Odoms with a helmet to helmet shot. Tatum was fearless.
The raiders & the Steelers where the real deal. That was football 🏈 in the 70's & 80's today's players couldn't play in the 70's & 80's Quarterback's today couldn't play they would be crying 😢. Thanks for the upload everything wasn't about money 💰💵
Boy that was one mean, hard hitting defense! I wish today's Raider defense was as good as it was back then. I miss all those characters the Raiders use to have back then. Ted Hendricks, Jack Tatum, Willie Brown, Otis Sistrunk, John Matuszak, and many more!Those were the good old days Raider Nation. Have you noticed that the NFL isn't as good as it was back then? Growing up in the seventies and watching the NFL was awesome, especially if your team was on Monday night football. "Turn out the lights, the parties over, and all good times must end." "This is Howard Cosell, and you're watching Monday Night football, it's the Oakland Raiders vs. the San Diego Chargers." Good times America!
perfect description of Raiders and 1970's NFL era football. Players back then, especially the Raiders, had unique personalities and playing styles. Nowadays the players all seem the same like robots.
....don't confuse cheap shot, dirty football with great defense...the Raiders in the 1970's finished in the top 5 in total defense only once in that decade, in 1973..
I remember Dandy Don singing that after the game.. I miss those days.. It's sad to see what the league has become, with all these overkill rule changes..
@@conni70 We won superbowls off of a Dirty Defense and got the most penalties in the league in 71 and still won the Superbowl. If you don't like it OH WELL! Go to another video!

@sour airhead the guys today couldn't play back then size. Guys where just as big and didn't have all the rules protecting his bitch ass. They party all night and play the game.

NEVER FORGET CHARLES WOODSON #24 he fumbled that ball biggest screw job ever

Dwight Love shut the fuck up you absolute fucking idiot. Brady would completely dominate the shit out of this era. He would be running offenses that hadn’t been invented yet. Get the fuck out of here.
Yo! receivers were scared to come across the middle when ever they played the Oakland raiders back in tha 70s I'm a Steelers fan and they had a special punishment for Lynn Swann and John stallworth lol.
@@dwightlove3704 Stallworth yes but Swann wanted no part of the middle of the field when they played Oakland. Atkinson and Tatum had him completely intimidated
did you see how fast they were blasting off that D-line sheezz! back in those days all a quaterback had was 1 mississippi 2 mississippi if the ball wasnt outta your hands you were gone pay the price thats how defense suppose to be played
The Raiders vs Steelers was always The Classic Matchup into the 1970’s! I would take this Raiders Defense over “The Steel Curtain” And Day of the Week. AND TWICE ON SUNDAY(No pun intended)!
Loved those Raider teams of the 1970's. Kenny Stabler on knees so wably that when he had to scramble looked as if both may blow out at any second, yet he nearly always made a great pass to Biletnikoff or Branch or Casper. And the Raider defense, forget about it. Absolutely vicious. There's a lot of players that should thank their maker that Jack Tatum wasn't a 275 or 280 pound tackle or guard or end, or he would've killed someone. He played safety at 200 pounds, maybe 205 at best, and brought the whole truck load every time he laid a hit on a receiver, running back, or a quarterback.
Thanks for playing bump and run on Don Maynard in the 1968 AFLTitle game one time too many George Atkinson. Without a doubt a rookie mistake !!! Maynard beat George deep Broadway Joe Namath hit Maynard on a deep post. And the Jets took it in for the winning score!! Broke my 5- year old heart. Could the 1968 Raiders have beaten the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III? We will never know.
Back in the day when leading with your helmet was part of the game, A lot of teams did it not just the Raiders, The Raiders just hit you a little harder.
I was a born and raised Cowboys fan, but I always loved these Raiders -- they were everything that the Cowboys weren't. Both teams were masters at marketing an image the Raiders were the nasty dredges of the NFL, and the Cowboys were "America's Team".
so, let me get this straight.... A linebacker gets away with contact that should have been called, and gets away with him, so you threaten his LIFE by acting like you were going to push im out of your airplane.... and you call THEM weird.....lol
not exactly. he used that contact as an excuse to get retribution for a litany of bullshit plays the raiders did back then. when ben davidson decided to use his helmet to try to break somebody's spine.....an action so disgusting, they changed rules to prevent that kind of fuckery.....he was also threatening a life (and that's just one example out of many). if you want to see lives being threatened, re-watch the first min of this video and pretend that every playing getting his is your son/dad/loved one....or even just pretend like its always the radiers getting hit like that. youre telling me that the hits at 0:07 and 0:10 arent dangerous, especially given what we know now about CTE (or, just, you know...common sense)? i agree, he went (no pun intended) overboard with his 'prank' (which was attempted murder, really)....but if we are pressing charges, the raiders dont have the moral high ground here (if that even exists here).
I can tell you as an old lifelong Raider fan Russ Francis was a hell of a tight end and used to give us fits. As far as what Atkinson said about it being a collision sport it was Jack Tatum's need to land the jarring big hit instead of making a play on the ball which was the cause of the Immaculate reception.
Owen Dunn That 2000 Raven defense, was the best no doubt and the 70s Raiders would be in jail if they played today because Brady, would whine like he does best
Even with his o-line grabbing and holding like they do all day, every day...Tommy boy wouldn't last one quarter against these Raiders. His punk ass would either run, or be carried, off the field...asap.
I remember 1 play where Jack Tatum hit Haven Moses and Moses faceguard exploded. Now that was a hit, not like nowadays. May as well be playing soccer, where if you look at a guy, he goes down like hes been shot
New england patriots probably wouldn't have won all those championships if they were playing during this era believe me Brady wouldn't make it. The NFL got very soft and watered down what a shame.
@@ImYankeeGG Dude, Brady's receivers today can run crossing patterns without getting their heads knocked off. Put his receivers in the mid 70's and his receivers are carted off the field
@@keithclark7266 There is not a single person from that era who could guard Gronk without cheap shots. Hell, they wouldn't even be able to catch him. Players are way bigger, stronger, faster, and technically sound than players from back then. back then a 6'5 250 pound guy was a lineman, today he's a quarterback in Pittsburgh.
be nice but afraid those days are long gone. Davis Jr. has destroyed his dad's legacy by first moving the team out of its home in Oakland and second by being clueless on how to run a sports franchise. Every hire he's done after GM Reggie McKenzie left who got the team to the playoffs in 2016 has been a disaster.
They were basically the football arm of the Hells Angels. Couldn't exist in todays snowflake world. These guys were savages. Monsters. And we all loved it
George Atkinson is my all-time strong safety. He was listed at 180 but looked a good deal lighter going up against tight ends. Tatum hit hard but in my memory, Atkinson hit harder.
All the posturing and tough talk added up to exactly one title during the Madden era. While the Raiders were busy strutting around and telling everyone how bad-ass they were, other teams were bringing home trophies.
true but that Raider team won multiple West titles, playoff games and played in several of the most famous games in NFL history. Sports is entertainment and the Raiders of the 70's dominated doing so. They also played a high risk style with all of the penalties and throwing the ball deep. If they had played a more boring ball control style like the Steelers, Dolphins and Cowboys did, no doubt they would have won as many or more titles than those teams.
As a Steeler fan, got to admit the Raiders were badass.
Respect...the Steelers were the ONLY team that wasn't 'afraid' of the Raiders. (OK, maybe the Chiefs too...) Classic matchups in the early-mid 70's.
The best games were raiders steelers in the 70's.
Raiders vs Steelers back then was more like Raiders vs Raiders
oldschoolruler yup, real talk
Toughest games in football ,1970's and 80's Oakland and steelers games. Never seen harder hitting games.
During the '70s The Raiders defense was brutal and yes they did want to hurt you and they admitted it, That's the way the NFL was back then, The game was real back then!

The Raiders defense of that era didn’t try to put you in the hospital,instead they tried to put you in the cemetery.

@@jaquino451 Yep, they just didn't it better than the other teams.
Willie Brown was the best player on their defense in the 70's. WB and Ted Hendricks
@@JonnyAugz Madden achieved so little with so much. He was a punk
wow I used to own this video The NFL greatest moments the 1976 Raiders!!!
Oakland raiders 1976 unbeatable; invincible: especially against Pittsburgh steelers 1970s
Man, I was about ten years old watching the Raiders in the Madden days. I remember thinking “ouch!” at those hits. 😂😂😂
Thanks for playing bump and run on Don Maynard in the 1968 AFLTitle game one time too many George Atkinson. Without a doubt a rookie mistake !!! Maynard beat George deep Broadway Joe Namath hit Maynard on a deep post. And the Jets took it in for the winning score!! Broke my 5- year old heart. Could the 1968 Raiders have beaten the Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III? We will never know.
Back in the day when leading with your helmet was part of the game, A lot of teams did it not just the Raiders, The Raiders just hit you a little harder.
Watching 30 for 30 on them Bad Boys Pistons is what brought me to this video! Maaaan!!! Oakland's defense wasn't no joke back then! Lol!
Tatum was a real monster n pads
Tatum once said 'You come near me and I'm going to make you regret you played Pro Football!'
You can’t tell me these guys wasn’t one of the inspirations for LT to make Blitz the League
LT didn’t make no game, they just hired him
YEAH LT GOT HIS LOVE OF THE GAME FROM WATCHING THOSE TEAMS FROM THE 1970'S[ LT WAS JUST STRAIGHT UP NASTY[8]22]23]
This was when you had to work hard for your money. Work hard or get hit hard. Wow!
When you played the Raiders, you knew the next game you played was going to be without a starting player or two.
The Greatest Winning Percentage from 1964 to 1983 from any sports franchise
17 consecutive winning seasons
I first saw this years ago, and I think he just made that whole plane story up.
I was a born and raised Cowboys fan, but I always loved these Raiders -- they were everything that the Cowboys weren't. Both teams were masters at marketing an image the Raiders were the nasty dredges of the NFL, and the Cowboys were "America's Team".
In the 60's and early 70's the defense had the nickname "The 11 Angry Men" they need to bring that back.
so, let me get this straight.... A linebacker gets away with contact that should have been called, and gets away with him, so you threaten his LIFE by acting like you were going to push im out of your airplane.... and you call THEM weird.....lol
Yup he tried to commit murder for gettinf whooped in a football game lol
Good point
You guys don't actually believe that tool do you
not exactly. he used that contact as an excuse to get retribution for a litany of bullshit plays the raiders did back then. when ben davidson decided to use his helmet to try to break somebody's spine.....an action so disgusting, they changed rules to prevent that kind of fuckery.....he was also threatening a life (and that's just one example out of many). if you want to see lives being threatened, re-watch the first min of this video and pretend that every playing getting his is your son/dad/loved one....or even just pretend like its always the radiers getting hit like that. youre telling me that the hits at 0:07 and 0:10 arent dangerous, especially given what we know now about CTE (or, just, you know...common sense)?
i agree, he went (no pun intended) overboard with his 'prank' (which was attempted murder, really)....but if we are pressing charges, the raiders dont have the moral high ground here (if that even exists here).
KandaPanda The Raiders have the moral high ground. It exists here.
I can tell you as an old lifelong Raider fan Russ Francis was a hell of a tight end and used to give us fits. As far as what Atkinson said about it being a collision sport it was Jack Tatum's need to land the jarring big hit instead of making a play on the ball which was the cause of the Immaculate reception.
Loved them as a kid back in the 70s. Miss that style of play now.
These guys wrote the book on what it means to be a Raider.
They are Legend
Look at these real grown men. Amazing
I miss those days man.
Owen Dunn That 2000 Raven defense, was the best no doubt and the 70s Raiders would be in jail if they played today because Brady, would whine like he does best
I think the 85 bears would like to argue that statement.
yeah, and joe beat the 80's bears twice in the playoffs....now the LT giants had the niners number
John McCoy I remember when Brady was screaming at the refs when he was being roughed up by the Texans in that playoff game in '16!!!!!
Even with his o-line grabbing and holding like they do all day, every day...Tommy boy wouldn't last one quarter against these Raiders. His punk ass would either run, or be carried, off the field...asap.
@@oldschoolruler Brady could not run to the bathroom at his age.
No doubt about all the Oakland Raiders were the most ferocious, vicious brutal team throughout the 1970's decade!!
I remember 1 play where Jack Tatum hit Haven Moses and Moses faceguard exploded. Now that was a hit, not like nowadays. May as well be playing soccer, where if you look at a guy, he goes down like hes been shot
Raider fan fer life Lyle was a monster on the field rest easy Darth
I wish we where still like this
Phil Villapiano was always a great interview especially with the Holly Roller
New england patriots probably wouldn't have won all those championships if they were playing during this era believe me Brady wouldn't make it. The NFL got very soft and watered down what a shame.
Brady complains every time he gets hit . In the old era of football, players from other teams would probably put a bounty on him for being a candy ass
I love pats haters
@Jamil McCoy i agree wit ur comment
@@ImYankeeGG Dude, Brady's receivers today can run crossing patterns without getting their heads knocked off. Put his receivers in the mid 70's and his receivers are carted off the field
@@keithclark7266 There is not a single person from that era who could guard Gronk without cheap shots. Hell, they wouldn't even be able to catch him. Players are way bigger, stronger, faster, and technically sound than players from back then. back then a 6'5 250 pound guy was a lineman, today he's a quarterback in Pittsburgh.
This is exactly why I became a fan!!! Big Al we need you badly your bowl haircut son is absolutely and positively killing this team!!
Man, the Raiders, Steelers, Cowboys of the 70s, what more can you ask.
Today 9 out 10 of these hits would be penalties and the players ejected.
TheRedBaron Lives! Yup it’s been pussified just look at the nba too.
@@generousg83 What about THE NHL MLB PRO BOXING!!!!!
Dwight Love I don’t know I don’t watch those sports
@@generousg83 I don't watch them either but I know they involve physical contact.
@@generousg83 The NBA? You mean, they don't allow hard tackles any more?
Pound per Pound the Hardest Hitting Football player that ever LIVED!
Jack Tatum.
@@ronaldtyson4735 but got ran over by larry czonka , franco harris and sam bam cunningham
Makes today's football look like flag football. 😉 Raiderrrsss!
They were brutal. Remember as a kid, you feared for your team when they played the Oakland Raiders
The Raiders in the 1970s were badass!
Bengals fan here nothing those guys did was dirty the game was so much different in those days. You paid a price going over the middle.
"first one who cries is a sassy hehe"
That's fucking amazing hahaha, amazing.
In the 60's the Raiders defense had a killer nickname "The 11 Angry Men" which I think should be readopted.
That was my favorite raiders defense
I was born in Oakland , oakland tough thru and thru
I keep forgetting that Russ was a 49er late in his career in fact he played with Joe Montana and got a ring.
Hope one day the Raiders can be as intimidating as here. Make Al Davis proud!
be nice but afraid those days are long gone. Davis Jr. has destroyed his dad's legacy by first moving the team out of its home in Oakland and second by being clueless on how to run a sports franchise. Every hire he's done after GM Reggie McKenzie left who got the team to the playoffs in 2016 has been a disaster.
Awesome video John!
There was an even more brutal defense in the 1970s and they were called the Steel Curtain. 4 Super Bowl Championships in 6 years
They were basically the football arm of the Hells Angels. Couldn't exist in todays snowflake world. These guys were savages. Monsters. And we all loved it
If Brady played against teams like this from the 70's he would as Jack Lambert said "would have had to wear
a dress." LOL!
He wouldn’t have lasted past his early thirties. The game has evolved to a glorified flag football league.
Or Joe Namath's panty hose
I loved the Oakland Raiders and Phil Vilapiano was one of my favorite players
George Atkinson is my all-time strong safety. He was listed at 180 but looked a good deal lighter going up against tight ends. Tatum hit hard but in my memory, Atkinson hit harder.
No, Tatum hit harder. Atkinson was dirtier.
Wish raiders defense were this good today
Now this is football not throwing flags at each play
Back when not only football was real but MEN WERE REAL
Raiders and Pistons. They were the most aggressive, Toughest and baddest SOBS👀👀
All the posturing and tough talk added up to exactly one title during the Madden era. While the Raiders were busy strutting around and telling everyone how bad-ass they were, other teams were bringing home trophies.
true but that Raider team won multiple West titles, playoff games and played in several of the most famous games in NFL history. Sports is entertainment and the Raiders of the 70's dominated doing so. They also played a high risk style with all of the penalties and throwing the ball deep. If they had played a more boring ball control style like the Steelers, Dolphins and Cowboys did, no doubt they would have won as many or more titles than those teams.
This is how the Raiders defense should play today.
I miss those Raiders. BTW ask Howie Long how smart Ted Hendricks is.
It should be noted that Sammy White held onto the ball.
The Raiders were like a violent version of Animal House...
Good Call!
I need these Raiders to show up
On Sundays. Physical football
I may be an Eagles fan but man I'd love to see this type of football again.
The Buddy Ryan defense from 1988 to 1992 was like that old Oakland defense.
