My favorite player as a kid!@ 1971 NFL MVP as a DT, are you kidding me??? He was crazy good.
Still is to this day, love the guy !!
There are only 2 defensive players to ever win NFL MVP and Alan Page is one of them. Really nothing else needs to be said.
three
Alejandro Madera its two Alan Page and Lawrence Taylor
old football was more bad ass than today
Ik right
+Dezylo Fortune No, it wasn't the avg American today weighs the same as an avg defensive player 50 years ago. NFL today would literally murder these guys within 2-3 games.
Ryder Washington is your opinion but for me the old football look more bad ass
+Ryder Washington he better than jj watt
+Ryder Washington NFL players today would rather hang themselves than go up against the old football players
MVP as a interior defensive tackle. That'll never happen again ever. In this day and age it's either a quarterback or a running back.
He came to my Bears later in his career and still had a load of talent left!!
I was so disappointed when that happened, he was my favorite of all time !!
original jj watt?, hella dumb. He is Alan page and he is his own legend
Alan Page my favorite player not even close, love the guy. I would be thrilled to meet him !! JJ does some great things for the community and football, but he's not Alan !!!
they don’t even play the same position lol
He is by far my all time favorite Viking #88 played in the rain and mud, not like today's athletes in doors astro turf. The game has changed tremendously, Alan is a great individual, and a class act !!
1971 NFL Most Valuable Player. One of the most under-appreciated achievements in NFL history. In a league with OJ Simpson, Joe Namath, Bob Griese, Roger Staubach, etc and before there was a daily ESPN highlight show, a defensive tackle was MVP.
Watched him as a player being an avid rams fan. Hated this dude. He was so dominant. He so destroyed us every time we faced him. He along with marshall, eller, southerland, and larsens.
Alan Page > J.J WATT
Alan page = JJ Watt
+Minecraft Lover Alan Page is Alan Page, JJ Watt is JJ Watt end of fucking story.
+Ryder Washington AGREED
Minecraft Lover Like my post then.
+Ryder Washington yep
6' 4". 250 pounds. And 50 years ago, he was a behemoth, a monster, the greatest. And now, he's basically the same size as an average linebacker now. Great defensive tackle though
Pep Sicola to be fair no Linebacker is 6'4 freaking 4. He's still a pretty lean defensive tackle but he ain't Linebacker small/short
Samuel Hsu Von Miller is 6’4” and 250lbs.
Zach Gonzales he's 6'3 237 lbs about that's about average for a linebacker
Samuel Hsu www.nfl.com/player/vonmiller/2495202/profile
He is 250lbs. I was wrong on height. He’s 6’ 3”. Like you mentioned.
Zach Gonzales oh ok I guess you were right ok
WOW.... just a different breed of man
Alan Page 88 was a NIGHTMARE to opponents.
One of our Great front four defensive lineman, I thought he was one of the Greatest for being consistent. Then he was U.S Federal judge for the supreme court one of our own .... Go Minnesota Vikings...... Uffta!!!!!!!!!
J j watt. Don’t insult ALAN page, deacon jones, bob Lilly, Randy white, Merlin Olsen
J J has a long long way to go before he is mentioned in the same breath.
It is really disrespectful JJ never went to a super bowl. Maybe this year but no
One of my favorite athletes.
Lionel, he's one of my all-time favorite athletes as well! When discussing the greatest ever at his position, the so called expert commentators, ex-players and coaches never mention his name. Alan rarely receives the accolades he so richly deserves! Wake up people and recognize one of the top defensive linemen in NFL history!!
Incredible piece of footage which had never seen before. This was something just not seen amongst the squeaky clean Vikings. Surely, it must have expedited Page's departure 0:43
When 88 lines up across from you, pack a lunch because it's gonna be a long day.
Alan Page carried a law book as well as a playbook. Something Bud Grant never liked. Now that Alan is a judge, Bud has mellowed out as well as his All-Pro play till 1977 when Alan wanted to go Vegetarian for quickness.
Underrated
One must never down vote the great Alan Page...how dare you !
This dude is a beast and I get that they're trying to get eyes to this vid. But I'm pretty sure that we are witnessing the first JJ Watt playing in Sunday's right now.
That being said. I can't wait to hear this man's story.
dat shovel pass though.
Very talented and gifted athelete.
Dang the defensive tackle has changed so much
WOW !! Never seen this 0:42
Makes me wonder if this had something to do with one of the off sides calls against Alan. On many plays he was so quick on the snap that it would appear that he was off sides but wasn't.
MVP nice!
The Purple People Eater
bad man
Quickest lineman ever
He's more like Khalil Mack than Watt because of his run-stopping skills. Go Raiders
How is gonna be like someone that wasn't even frickin born when he played so many dumb comparisons
wrong bob it was marshall who pick up the fumble then handed it off to page ran it in for a td
You're right. Thanksgiving in Detroit a long time ago. But it was a no-look lateral not a handoff so it was a great play.
And Marshall intercepted a short pass; it wasn't a fumble.
AJ Watt, who? Alan Page defined himself and continues to define himself. DiMaggio, Mantle, Brady, et. al. Page needs no further discussion.
You mean jj watt is the next Alan page
Paul Krause, one of the greatest safeties ever.
Other way around. It was Marshall who lateralled to Page 2:02
Good 'ol Lurtz confused as usual.
Damn they played in like real mud baths
Calm down everyone, they are comparing how they dominate and choose the best way to get to the ball.
It's a dumb comparison
There is no "original JJ Watt". It's the original Alan Page
cool
"The Purple People Eaters". 😉
It's funny how all those tackles would be called "horsecollar" or "uneceary roughness" in today's football. The games so much more pussified
yeah because we discovered what concussions are and these same "tough" players are currently suing the NFL for a billion dollars.
+Jack Markson Yeah, because risking their lives so you can sit home and drink your nasty ass beer and watch these guys work harder than you've ever hve in your entire life, is pussified.
+Dustin Haning Beat me to it. horse collar tackles are dangerous as fuck. Should have never been legal in the first place. Unnecessary roughness is usually 80% salty losing team, 10% asshole player being an asshole, 10% BS call. Either way, it's uncalled for.
Even for that time period in the nfl, how the hell did he get away with playing the middle and on the line, with a linebackers weight?
I guess Bobby bell did the same at OLB.
Page didn’t have to overpower O-linemen. He was incredibly quick off the snap and got around the block before they could react. I’m a Vikings fan and I’m old enough to have seen him play. It was amazing to watch.
Definitely must've been!
@@humphreygruntwhistle3946 And if they called him offside when he wasn't, then really look out...
Alan Page wasn’t the original JJ Watt. JJ Watt was the new Alan Page.
isn't he a lawyer now
Matthew Forbes he's an associate justice for the Minnesota Supreme Court
Was, he had to retire in 2015
holy shit you people need to stop comparing a player from 3 decades ago to someone playing now. of course the more modern player is going to be better. they are using decades of knowledge, weight training like they are body builders on venice beach and use the most advanced safety and medical personel and equipment. but if alan page played now and not in the 70s he would have gone through all the same things players do nowadays. he wouldnt be some neanderthal from the past he was one of the smartest football players of his time and that is saying something. he went to law school while he was still playing football. same with jj watt, if he grew up in the 50's and played in the 70's he wouldnt have any of the knowledge and special programs that make him elite as he does today. it would be a level playing field and im sure he wouldve been a tougher player because of it but i doubt he would be stronger or faster because all that came from modern training. These are two players that are the greatest in the sport at their position at the time. in 10 years were gonna be calling watt a pussy compared to the next big guy, its an endless cycle and its pointless to be arguing about something that is unable to prove. just enjoy the fucking game.
I have an old game where he sacked Jim Zorn 4 times in one half of football.
Calling Page the OG Watt is insulting
Better than watt! Best DT ever!
The only game jersey i own or would pay $100+ for.
All these people who say JJ Watt is overrated probably only seen 1 texans game in the past 3 years.
JJ watt. Can't stay on the field field. Probably due to rampant roid use. Page was a natural football who was always on the field and very rarely missed a game.
That's my cuz my dad told me
If I wanted to make a greatest of all time defensive line Alan Page and Reggie White would be on it. Merlin Olsen would have to be too--would need a little madness on the line.
Alan Page was great but never did well against great offensive linemen.
Disrespectful title
The original who?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
*i am very excited when i watch football*
0:58 🎬
👇👇👇👇👇🔥
Bad pass Gabriel but good tackle (should still be in Canton). Page - Watt ... what? Stupid cf.
How can you call someone from the past a "original" of someone who is playing now ?? GTFOH there is only ONE JJ WATT
James Cannon how?he was snubbed in the mvp in 2014 he is the only player with 2 20+ sack seasons 2012,2014 he is not overrated
JOSHUA HERNANDEZ, only player to OFFICIALLY have two 20-sack seasons. Individual sacks weren't counted until 1982, Lawrence Taylor's second year in the league. There are great pass rushers like Deacon Jones, Doug Atkins and Gino Marchetti who have no official stats to back it up. Although someone took the time to go through Rams' game films and came up with 173.5 unofficial sacks for Deacon, who also played for San Diego and Washington at the end of his career.
The NFL MVP has virtually been the complete possession of the offense, especially QBs and RBs. Even WRs seldom win because theirs is a "dependent" position, although you could say that's the case for ALL positions. Imagine a quarterback or running back without an offensive line, for example.
Page was utterly unblockable in 1971. I think he even blocked kicks on special teams. He led his team to the playoffs. LT in 1986 was even more dominant. He not only elevated the Giants to the postseason, he led them to their first Super Bowl victory. Watt's 2014 Texans, though greatly improved, didn't make the playoffs.
In a QB-dominated league a defensive player would have to elevate his team to great heights to win LEAGUE MVP honors.
Watt is so over rated it's not even funny. Ya he has some crazy plays over the year but he didn't do shit against the Colts. Colts have a decent o line but for a guy getting compared to players like Page, Mean joe, and Deacon Jones is absurd.
4 trips to the super bowl & no rings.It least both Bob Lilly & Joe Greene have them
jj watt is overrated
JJ Watt should of been MVP in 2014
The ultimate robbery
