The problem with all the rule changes is that it’s given the offense too much advantage. Players didn’t want to go over the middle because they’d get clocked, not to injure players really, but to create turnovers. Today’s NFL is just a shell of its former self.
Yeah....it used to be the broadcast feed looked better than NFL films but these videos, which are NFL films, look better than the old broadcasts. Was the soundtrack remastered also?
Educational. I look for this type of thing from time to time to try to refresh my memory as to what the game used to be like. This is the best I've seen...
OMG! Dave this is so stunning, I've never seen NFL Films highlights this clear as it looks like a 4K version of the highlight films. This is tremendous work, thank you for posting, my friend!
This is why I tell people that Tom Brady would not have lasted in this era and he would of retired before 40. He is lucky that the rules protected him as much as they did.
@@futuretimetraveller8677 - Back during this timeframe there are only a handful of QB's I can think of who played into their late 30's as a starter. Fran Tarkington, Roger Staubach (Though his missed a lot of years serving the country), and I don't really count Billy Kilmer. Both Tarkington and Staubach were Mobile QB's and would take off and run. Brady would have taken a lot of punishment which does not bode well for longevity.
Agree 100%....and which is why I'll never consider Brady the GOAT over Joe Montana. Don't get me wrong Brady was a great, but sorry kids, he was no Joe Montana.
Agreed. Tom Brady recently came out saying it is to easy for QBs and has made the league dull, it's like your entire career is when the rules swayed towards protecting QB at all costs.
Thanks! Welcome back! The 80's highlights just pop on my 4k screen. Escpecially, the Chargers and Falcons! Love that you included Mike Curtis on the fan hit!
You're awesome! This really took me back. Seeing Jorgensen, Kapp, Gabriel and Landry was enough for me, but Lamonica, Butkus, Mike "the Animal" Curtis and more...you always knew Kapp was gonna take a beating. Back when the game was real. I can't believe some of those guys got up after those hits, but I saw those games, and the sport was pure. Thank you so very much!
THE BAMBINO OF UPLOADERS HITS A GRAND SLAM!!!!.....Dave this is magnificent!!...The music combined with the action is nothing short of TREMENDOUSLY SUPERB!!! On a scale from 1 to 10 this is a 12 !!!!!
It broke my heart 💔 in what Goodell and these owners have done to the game . I no longer watch haven’t in years . This clip bought a tear to my eye 😢. Thanks !
Sitting here watching this video with my Mike Curtis jersey on, I wholeheartedly concur with you. I've even got the video paused on that clip. On one hand, I understand the rationale of trying to protect players from legitimately potential serious injury, but if you are aware of that risk and still agree to play by those rules, then que sara. For sure, all of the rule changes in favor of the offense have made modern stats pretty hollow. That particular play is a clear example of how much American culture has changed -- Gabriel didn't whine and complain, and Curtis didn't run looking for a camera to wiggle and prance in front of.
Mike was my favorite player & should have been in the Hall of Fame before he passed away. I stopped watching the nfl in 1985 and now only watch college football.
🏈 Thanks for posting Dave. Whenever the kickoff returns come up I mentally brace for those hits because they seem like the worst. Full speed ahead and then BAM !!! GREAT VIDEO !!!
Great compilation. I was waiting and watching for what I considered to be the two most brutal hits in NFL history, and around the 27-minute mark, they appeared. One was the Joe "Turkey" Jones homicidal sack of Terry Bradshaw. The other was a kick-return play in an Eagles-Cardinals game where the Eagle return man was viciously clotheslined.
How the game used to be played....thank You for posting this .....miss these days when football was real....Kapp getting blind sided in his own end zone 21:28 Great Stuff
I love watching these old clips. Man, reading the names of these old players really brings back memories. These games bring me back to a time I cared about the sport. Now not so much.
Great video! Back when it was REAL football. Back when quarterbacks could get blasted and with body weight without a flag thrown, and were expected to get up and run another play. If your helmet got knocked off and you weren’t tackled yet, the play kept going. There was no such thing as hospital passes or defenseless receivers. Receivers well understood what was coming when they tried to catch the ball.
Ex-cell-ent! Excellent! Wonderfully enhanced and cleaned-up video, beautiful to watch. Literally brought a tear to my eye. Tyvm Dave Volsky. This is the kind of action missing from the very cute and soft current NFL. It's what made the NFL America's favorite sport. Once again, kudos.
Epic! So well done. So many classics: Kenny Johnson lights out on hurdler Nehemiah. Mike Curtis “giving a flipper” to the knucklehead fan in 1970. The cop in New Orleans, hat flying. Might have been a “hip drop tackle”…or 20. Play on.
Fantastic video quality. The classy jazz and orchestra scores work great, too. These highlights are from back in the days when QBs did not wear skirts. Hitting high, clothesline tackles, forearm shivers, regular muggings ... all part of the game. The zebras said, "Let 'em play."
Thanks again Dave. Love these hard hit video’s when real men played football. Every hit in this video all the players would be ejected from the game in today’s NFL.
@@timteeple5667Those same "Real" men who now suffer from memory loss, having to undergo knee and or hip replacement surgery and taking medication to deal with the constant pain from the hits they have taken and nobody talks about that aspect.
@@FelipeSimmons-zq4qn the advancement of technology of NFL helmets have come a long way. If you ever seen a football helmet from the 60’s and 70’s it almost looks like a plastic helmet. The helmets they wear now are like race car driver helmets. Also in those times no one ever knew about CTE. CTE was recently discovered about 12 years ago. Not only football but other sports as well will continue to keep on making strides to benefit players neurological health.
This was one of the greatest reels of football history I have ever seen. What struck me early on was the CLARITY, or VIVIDNESS of a lot of the VERY old clips that were included. In those cases the quality of the clips was so fresh-looking, that they honestly looked like highlights from last week's games. Thank you so very much for sharing this. You brought back a metric TON of football memories; and that alone was a wonderful Christmas present for me. Merry Christmas to you and yours. 🙏🏾❤️
This may rattle some people but it is my strong opinion (and it is backed by many) that Tom Brady wouldn't last one quarter in this era. The physicality was just too consistently BRUTAL and the rules protecting the quarterback and wide receiver simply did not exist.
@@chazzx1018 So like I previously stated, what I wrote will RATTLE some people. The TRUTH usually does. There are also about 15-hour clips of Brady getting breathed on and the refs calling it a penalty. And even more clips of Brady getting justly tackled and him getting in the ref's face for NOT calling a penalty. Happy Holidays.
Dave, this could be your finest achievement , so far! Your editing , footage with NFL films music is a true monument for the game of football. My son's have already watched it twice! THANK YOU
What I noticed about a lot of these plays are defenders not leading with their heads when getting a free shot. A lot of punishment done with the shoulders and arms. Also a lot of really good fundamental tackling. Great crystal clear video by the way
i remember being taught how to tackle just like that IN POP WARNER football---sound fundamentals so ...the arm tackling and other stuff i see pros doing now (when i catch a glimpse ---i do NOT watch games) is hilarious to me
As others have stated, this sort of once celebrated content that was prevalent and available on various programs and VHS releases is now hidden from eyeballs.
I'm waiting on them to draft or let a gender-bender walk on as a free agent and picketing outside the stadium for separate bathrooms, it's just a matter of time.
Thanks again Dave for another great upload. We've discussed this before but today's NFL softies would never make it in this era of real smash mouth football. Could you see Tom Brady trying to take hits from legends like Butkus, Lambert, Greene, Dryer, etc. This was a time when football was a real mans game.
Four classic hits that come to mind are: 1. Minnesota's Dale Hackbart nearly decapitating Cleveland receiver Gary Collins in the end zone on a pass interference clothesline in 1967 2. Bear safety Gary Fencik's high hit on Giant receiver Jimmy Robinson in 1977 3. Jack Tatum drilling Riley Odoms in Week 14 of 1973 4. Tatum's goal line collision with Earl Campbell in 1979. Great video, by the way.
Dave you are The NFL Channel. All the NFL Network does is have marathon talk shows and show reruns of Patriots Super Bowls. I have contacted them about their content but they do not listen to viewers. Thanks for being here for us. I am a Cowboys fan, but love all the NFL library you have.
With the fact that todays players are bigger as well as faster I have to admit that the rule changes have enabled players to have longer careers with less trauma after their playing days. But watching this video reminds me of how tough these old dudes really were. (esp. because most of those guys were on the field for the next snap)
I'm ok with the rule changes. I wasn't at first, but nobody wants to see guys get hurt or brain damage. Now if they could officiate the diva behavior and stupid celebrations out,it would make it all more palatable.
This is the first time I have seen your videos and recreations. The clarity & music is great. The videos are amazing brings back so many great memories. I'll be watching for the next few days. Thank you, excellent work. Merry Christmas 🎄
GREAT JOB DAVE!! When the NFL was THE NFL!! One of the hardest hits I ever saw didn't occur between two players. Before the days of portable, lightweight cameras, they used to have those BIG CAMERAS that put on platforms that made them three or four feet tall. A receiver for the Saints (Billy Grabarkewicz) jumped up to catch a pass, missed, and cracked his helmeted head on the camera. The blow caused his helmet to split in two,and, I believe he had to leave the game with a concussion.😮😮😮
Machine repaired, our hero bursts back to the fore with yet another remarkable and most colorful collage of primordial NFL fare served in his own inimitable style. VOLSKY
Back then as long as you were within two full steps of the QB when he threw the ball you could still lay him out. Within two steps at full speed the tackler was considered to be committed and because of the momentum he would unable to pull up ....
Beautiful color and the film quality looks like it was shot yesterday. This is the type of footage everyone knew NFL Films had, but never showed. All ya need to do is wrote up some inspiring lines, get a John Facenda AI narrator and we could get more of what we always wanted. NFL Films of the 1970s early 80s. Thanks for posting this stuff Dave and hope u can keep them coming.
awesome collection here! much made of the Dallas doomsday D, the Pittsburgh steel curtain of the Vikings' purple people eaters.....but, see some great shots from Mike Curtis and Co. Most people don't recall what an overwhelming D those old Colt teams had
However you put this film in a less grainy, and high definition as in this video is beyond any answer I could give but thank you for taking your time for this masterpiece. I wish the NFL & NFL Films would go back and do what you have done! Don’t give up!
Wow, the NFL doesnt even show big hits on their own throwback channels anymore. Thanks Dave for keeping that spirit alive.
Yeah, the paying fans might expect the same from Divas who make 10,000 X the money to do the same. That’s when the NFL was sport, not entertainment.
😂. “Throwback”? 🤣. They’ve TOTALLY forsaken the past. I gotta take an updated English class just to be able to pronounce these stupid NAMES!
Focusing on woke propaganda these days
Now it's the taylor swift distraction.@@samtatge8299

Its true if dave just put random scores on the screen id tune in every Sunday😅
I heard that buddy!!!! Nooooo dought!!!!! I'm 59 years old and I remember this football!!!!!
The problem with all the rule changes is that it’s given the offense too much advantage. Players didn’t want to go over the middle because they’d get clocked, not to injure players really, but to create turnovers. Today’s NFL is just a shell of its former self.
Is the NFL trying to reduce brain damage?
Same with The NBA only to a far greater extent
whats the NBA??@@REXX-STRONGSTYLE
the league today is soft. the last two years have been laughable.
Absolutely!!!
Dave! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts from all those like me who no longer watch the NFL. These memories are all we have! Bless you!
Yes! When men were men and not spoiled rich protesters
Excellent work Dave. The clarity of some of these ancient highlights is amazing. Thanks for sharing with us.
Yeah....it used to be the broadcast feed looked better than NFL films but these videos, which are NFL films, look better than the old broadcasts. Was the soundtrack remastered also?

The "SAVAGE" days...when players could tackle,and didn't "perform" afterwards...
I know right! Nowadays one tackle and it's like they cured cancer and off to the end zone to celebrate with a choreographed dance ensemble.
The clarity is so amazing. I've never seen old school games look so good.
When Mike Curtis tried to decapitate Roman Gabriel it made the cover of Sports Illustrated.......Now its an ejection and 100k fine.
