- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ก.ย. 2019
- The greatest player in the storied history of the Pittsburgh Steelers , "Mean" Joe Greene dominated offenses for over a decade with his unparalleled explosiveness off the line of scrimmage. He racked up ten Pro Bowls in his decade-spanning career, as well multiple Defensive Player of the Year honors en route to four Super Bowl victories in the 1970s. Beyond his individual accolades though, he brought a culture of toughness and physicality to Pittsburgh football, which has lasted long after his retirement, transforming the once pitiful organization into the legendary franchise that it is today.

I remember when i was a kid, oiler fans use to say nobody can tackle Earl Campbell one on one when he was in his prime. Joe Green hold my beer.
I've also seen videos of Jack Lambert, Steelers MLB, tackling Campbell by himself.
After watching this I had forgotten how fast and good Joe was.
His off the ball quickness is insane
Mean Joe Greene was a tackling machine. He was the heart and soul of the "Steel Curtain."Joe Greene and Jack Lambert were the two most feared players of the 70's for good reason. They would knock you down and get ready to knock you down on the next play too. GOAT !!!
If there was one Steeler who was the main reason they four rings, it was number 75!
That’s true,every Steelers player that I I have ever heard talk has said that Joe Greene was the reason for the dynasty starting, anybody who knows football knows that!!!!
Well, you can’t deny that they had some other great pieces too. Franco Harris was an all time great along with Jack Lambert and Mel Blount which alone probably would of gotten them the 4 Super Bowls in the 70s
@@ultimatecoasterremakes5500 No.one objective, denys that , but again the primary reason ,the psychological mindset that embodied the unconquerable spirit those SB teams had derived from Joe Greene ,period . He made them believe ,he held them accountable he chastised those who were rebellious he firmly put his foot down literally at times on those who dissented ,his presence impacted the entire team . Bradshaw's biggest vice at times even as a Probowl, All Pro, SB winning QB was his penchant for ints ,Franco is tied with Dorsett for most career fumbles as a RB with 99 , in other words the Steelers were going to turn the ball over in abundance , so that Steelers defense anchored by Joe Greene had to nulify the excessive turnovers the Steelers offense routinely committed .Joe Greene forced every other Steelers front 7 member to have too encounter only one blocker sometimes none ,why ? Because Greene was occupying two blockers ,sometimes three ,he sacrificed individual stats like sacks to improve his teams chances for victory .Inthe storied Vikings purple people defensive scheme in which the Defensive lineman agressively rushed up field attacking the QB first ,Joe Greene would have easily collected 100 QB sacks . Joe Greene was the most important Steelers player during that dynasty run ,and in team history .His teammate Andy Russell stated Joe Greene was the player of the 70's decade , a youtube page on players of the decades during the SB era also stated this . Nuff said .
@@ultimatecoasterremakes5500 Don’t forget Jack Ham too please 🙏
Dude was fast asf. Had the quickest first step for a lineman
For his time, Joe Greene was the Michael Jordan of football. Legend.
No sir. That description goes to oj Simpson
Not many could stop Earl Campbell in his tracks! Beast!!!
Texas blood vs Texas blood.
And dont forget the Assasin Jack Tatum he rocked Earl Campbell
@@Lcky-gu2gi Earl stilled scored the td after obsorbing the hit .
Huh? This video is about Joe Greene. One might observe that Greene has 4 Super Bowl rings as a player (2 more as a coach). Earl Campbell has none.
donnie shell blasted him solo...
Call me crazy, but I saw a man making every tackle trying NOT to hurt people. He wrapped them up or tripped them. He could have leveled them, but he didn't. He may have been Mean Joe, but I saw a lot of care in how he played too. That speaks volumes to me about his character.
Not crazy at all. What he did was called form tackling. Not like today's players looking for the highlight reel big hit. Youi wanna teach a kid how to tackle properly, watch Joe Greene play,
Mean Joe had a lot of respect for the game. His sportsmanship was only second to his talent.
Just like Lawrence Taylor
This assumes those who make big hits have no character.
@@twstdrealityalso Reggie White as well
This makes me want to become a Steelers Fan....ok, I'm now a Steelers Fan. GO STEELERS!!!!!!
I mean they are 7-0
It's "Here we go Steelers!".
I’m from Philly so eagles were my team until I was 8 and I read about joe greene after that I’ve been a Steelers fan since
@Philly215 I'm a life long Dallas Cowboys Fan 🤠 💙 🤪
If you were sweatin those dirty Raiders, piling on, etc, we don't want you so stay put, fella. Preciate you, a lifelong supporter lmfaoooooooo!!! FOH🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣#NoFairweatherFansNeeded🖤💛🖤
So quick off the snap. Amazing for a guy that big. In less than a second he's beating most of these offensive lineman.
Yeah everyone thinks of the nickname and just imagines some big huge monster and while he was obviously strong it’s his quickness that made him one of the best of all time.
He played high. If he played that way in this day in time he’d be pushed into the end zone
@@HotSauce-mn1mpOnly on occasion like most dts did he play upright ,he possessed a elite football IQ , and transcended fundamentals ,he made adjustments based upon circumstances ,his unique athleticism during his prime years before the debilitating pince nerve in 75 reduced his agility and strength ,his arsenal was simply boundless . Even during the later stages during his pinced neck nerve injury he was still very good ,no longer great ,no one still detailed him because of his high football IQ ,and excellent fundamentals . Great players historically would dominate in any era if they had access to the enhanced diet,medicine , equipment, medical surgery procedure of athletes in latter eras . Imagine Mean Joe Greene ,Bob Lily , Alan Page ,Randy White ,Manny Fernandez , Ernie Holmes with those improved amenities at 300 lbs.
@@HaroldMccoy-vv4lt bro I’m no gen z I have played a long time and I’m not being some typical keyboard guy.
The greatest D- linemen of the 1970ds. The footage is there and so are the analytics. There's no doubt.
Joe Greene the foundation to the greatest sports franchise in all of sports.
Definitely not in all of sports but no doubt best in football.
@@mtn7836 All of sports.
@@jnyfumare No not all sports you stupid yank.
@@Joe-ki7og Monkey Island doesn't have proper sport!! YES all sports!
Joe Green made a Play and acted like no big deal
Too bad today’s players don’t act the same way.
Mean Joe Greene was a force against the run and rusher the passer a complete player
Mean Joe Greene was the anchor up front for those Steelers dynasty in 70s
So much fun watching them in the 70's. Tons of future hall of famers on those teams.
They have to make 3 list of greatest steelers of all times, when talking about the steel curtain defense. They were bad.
Incredible. I am surprised Pastorini survived. Hard to believe the Oilers ever got a 1st down in the 70’s against the Steelers
INTENSE SALUTE 💪🏿💯👍🏾❤️ .. LET'S GO STEELERS NATION.
GOAT gets thrown around a lot but Joe Greene is without a doubt the best defensive lineman period. Proud he's from my hometown.
Great music selection
Thanks for letting the video show how great he was! The "Stunt 4-3" !
This goat is the reason my dads ah stealers fan what a talented player it’s an honor watching your clips
Loved watching him as a kid, he was exciting to say the least, beastmode!!!
Joe Greene was always my favorite as a kid because he was so dominant
Deacon Jones, Mean Joe Greene, Lawrence Taylor, Reggie White, Ronnie Lott greatest defensive players ever.
I’m proud to say I grew up in Pittsburgh during the 60’s, 70’s and part of the 80’s. Our city was electric during the Super Bowl years.
THE BEST THERE IS THE BEST THERE WAS AND THE BEST THERE EVER WILL BE!!!!!
Mr green is what the steelers are built on.
This is back when the Steelers were a truly great team in my opinion Alan page and Joe Greene were the two greatest defensive tackles of all time
Mean Joe was unstoppable 💪💪💪
Mean Joe didnt just stop an offensive player, he reversed an offensive player. Best defensive line ever. Best NFL team ever and were truly feared at their peak. The Mighty Steelers
Epic! So great! I miss those days when football was a Mans Game
Is it just me or did he have an uncanny sense of timing at the snap. He gets through in a blur and those who do contest get dealt with through leverage more than brute strength. This is what I gather from the first time watching mean joe green highlights. Very impressive for a man that size as he was clearly dwarfing some of the offensive line. All this from using his name in a rhyme so I said...let's see what the means all about,not disappointed cause his mean ,is nice.
All the great d tackles had that uncanny sense of timing at the snap. Joe Greene, Reggie White, Warren Sapp all of rm
mean joe was my favorite player of the 70s and this is coming from a raiders fan
The absolute best defensive tackle to ever play. You may think someone was better, but you are wrong. If they edited the Hall of Fame to only keep the top 1% of every position, Joe Greene is still there. That's what you call a "True HoFer".
Simply.......AWESOME!!
Greatest player on one of the best defenses in professional football history. It really says something when a defensive tackle is the leader of your team.
Greene was greatness. And gee,... he did it all without acting like an idiot by showboating after every play! Today’s players need to get in touch with this era.
You’re implying Joe Greene wasn’t involved in antics and on field bullshit?
@@occamsox5331 No ,he's applying that Joe's actions were from emotional frustration at his team being denied a chance to capture a win ,via opposing teams offensive lineman not being penalized by the officials for blatantly holding him, his teammates being pummeled ( Dick Butkus blindsided hit on LC GreenWood on special teams) thus he became the teams avenger ,challenging a reluctant Butkus to a fisticuffs and then spitting in Butkus face ,who smartly retreaded to his own teams sideline . That's a big difference ,two different galaxy's in comparison to the selfish, narcissistic , antagonistic,juvenile , betamale practices of the current tik,tok Steeler players ,who's antics only motivate the opposition more then usual ( at Bengals week 15 ) to not only defeat ,but humble the Steelers and the attention seeking player .Content and context are totally different . Everything Joe Greene did was to help the Steelers achieve success ,his famous soda commercial in 1979 had fostered no ill intentions of lockeroom division ,created a calling call for opposing teams to be invested even more then usual motivation to beat the Steelers .The commercials presentation wasn't buffoonish ,a plea for excessive attention ,the actual commerical format was introduced to Joe Greene ,he didn't go searching for it . If he made a comment pertaining to a upcoming opponent that had vitriol applied ,it was to instill fear and respect from the opposing opponent ,and impose the mindset to his teammates nothing but their obsolute best as a Steeler will be expected that upcoming game day . There is nothing comparable about Joe Greene and this current Steelers antics .Two different contexts .When Joe Greene became team captain he administered forcing himself to be less combustible in order to embody a less emotional, more accountable , 3 dimisional thinking ,critical thinking ,problem solver . Being a player everyone now looked to for guidance mandated he had more responsibilities on his plate ,he could only go to the ole dark side occasionally ,not consistently . Joe Greene embodied leadership ,sacrifice , accountability , consistent elite performance for 98% of his career . Ego ,attitude ,anger ,with a touch of humility . He was a Leader ,Ju,Ju ,and the rest of his tik tok teamsters are merely veterans .Big Difference .
@@haroldmccoy6748, holy fucking balls? No one is going to read whatever that is. There’s no need to write a whole book report, documentary, and college essay about showboating.
What’s wrong with celebrating after making a good play? The answer is nothing.
@@Eyedonutno A boy celebrates after a good play. A man celebrates after he wins.
Mean Joe was the GREATEST DT TO EVER PLAY THE GAME. period.
Great Memories, Best of The Steel Curtain
My favorite player when I was a kid.
Mean Joe is the Godfather of Steelers football & set the standard of what it means to don the black & gold. Turned a joke of a franchise into a power house. Yes, he didn't do it alone, but he was the foundation that helped build a dynasty.
He was quick, powerful and relentless. Be relentless.
Man, he just demolished quarterbacks.
When you shut down the middle of the field, good things happen.
Before he injured his neck [ Pinched Nerve ] at the start of the 1975 season he was the BEST AND MOST FEARED defensive tackle of all time WITHOUT A DOUBT !! After the injury he himself admitted he basically played the last 7 years of his career WITH ONE ARM and he was STILL a force to be reckoned with !
Mean Joe dropping Earl Campbell flat in his tracks… nuff said. 🐐
Watching Mean Joe make tackles reminded me of watching Lions go after antelope, if they get one paw on them they're going down😂
The GOAT at his position and played nearly the last half of career with one arm.
4:58 shows exactly why he was so great. Gets double team, almost triple teamed, still breaks free and gets the sack. Unbelievable!
And you Know the QB that he sacked, right?! Eli/Peyton daddy!
@@harrymiram6621 of course. Good ol Archie.
@@chuckfinley6747...Casual students of the modern NFL game, may only casually know who Archie is but TRUE students of NFL History knows, as the saying goes,..."The Rest of the Story!"-lol
@@harrymiram6621 Archie was truly underrated in my opinion. He played on some awful Saints teams but still managed to have a great career. Plus his college career at Ole Miss was phenomenal.
@@chuckfinley6747...Definitely For Sure!
One badass football player! Greg
Joe and Bob Lilly, 2 of the best football players who ever played.
The QBs try to scramble away once they see this absolute machine
He was one of the few who just knew where the ball was, no tricks, no BS. He was going to get whoever had the ball, all the time.
Isn’t football such a simple game? I know coaches like to make themselves look like they are so intelligent, but such a simple game really, find the guy with the ball and you nail em
@@busydem6161its not though. Teams block differently, run different sets, different plays. For Joe to have someone holding him WHILE the runningback is cutting him, and just shove the lineman aside while jumping over the runningback, is insane.
Joe Greene had ELITE get off speed.He be in the backfield before the line man even in his stance
I'm so proud of my father.
A man among boys
1:50 the qb just immediately drops his entire frame like "mother f-....."
XD
I watched a TV game years ago and saw Joe Greene haul-off and gut punch Paul Howard of The Broncos. He kept holding Joe on multiple occasions. Mean Joe took action himself - since the officials would not call holding, so Joe took care of it himself.
This years defense is bringing back that dominance. I love that the Steelers will live or die on defense.
Not even a sliver of being close
@@joshpitts7256 they do as good as they can in this sugar coated league, but guess what this isn’t the 70’s where you can do what you want. Of course the 70s Steelers were the best in that “era”. Still Pittsburgh will still live and die on defenses. Same reason why our QB situation is terrible right now
You can mark the day he was drafted as the day the Steelers started to climb out of the NFL basement on their way to becoming the top tier franchise they are today. It all started with Mean Joe. He was the catalyst
Joe Greene had he strength and speed that would still make him dominant in today's game
Mean Joe 🎉
Joe Greene was part of the Steelers dynasty when he was known as the most feared defensive player in the NFL
When you stop earl cambell dead in his tracks i mean thats pure power and determination my goodness
The most complete defense ever...
Dominant, very aggressive played in a bad mood, but the rock of the Steelers defense.
The coolest/nicest guy when he wasnt playing football, the meanest strongest baddest mf youd ever face on that field.
His quickness off the snap is OP as shit. I don’t know how offensive linemen dealt with this guy
He was the greatest period without Mean Joe Greene there was no Steel Curtain defense
Back when the tackled .Bad Ass.
Mean Joe Greene the greatest player on the the greatest defense of all time and the greatest team of all time the STEELERS OF THE 1970s
Remember, he usually had 2 and sometimes 3 blockers on him and he still got the job done.
Devastating!
The force behind the steel curtain was mean Joe Greene
Mean Joe Greene!!!
Awesome player and a great person.
Hell yeah
yes its mean !
There’s a reason in the 70s Pittsburgh’s defense was called the steel wall
"Steel Curtain"
i knew he was Mean but he was really really MEAN.. he punished the ball carrier. I saw big names being punished by JOE. Earl, Stabler,Manning,Lamonica,Dorsett,Csonka,Griese...he punished them.
Greene and Webster had the quickest first step!
You just couldn't run the ball against this man
R.I.P. Miss Fluffy👣🦂🦀🕌🚎
The best of all time.
Anything else, shut up!
Y E O W !!!
Fantastic! Great editing.
Any chance of a Donnie Shell video?
Thanks. Not currently in the works, but I'll add him to my backlog.
@@GeneralMilan Thanks for responding. I appreciate it!
A lot of people these days just see the tackling and think that's what made him great, when it was his incredible ability to read plays that made him stand out.
He pioneered the first jersey toss to lil man in that Coca-Cola commercial (same age) when I was an 11year old kid, 15 minutes from where I lived at that time."Wow!!!😃 Thanks mean Joe!😁". Legendary...💪🏿💯💯💯
People forget Joe Greene was operating at like 70% capacity for a large part of his career, prime Joe Greene was unstoppable. It took an injury to even slow him down to being remotely human
🏆
Mr. Steeler! #PS4L
Got him 2nd all time, just behind LT!!
Part of the best team ever fielded on either scyd of the ball.
Love how old TV makes it look like they're barely even running and haven't figured out the fastest way to run yet.
Great highlights for great player ..man I guess refs didn't call encroachment cause mean Joe really took advantage of it lol.
Where did you see encroachment at?
@@foopgoop8260
Around the 1:50 mark joe green is nearly kissing the center several times that's encroachment ..
I guess the referees were scared of mean Joe green also to call it.
Whats the title of this song please its motivating
This is a highlight reel of mauling, merciless devastation, not for the weak hearted. Joe Greene was a dominating destroyer of backfields, equally adept at crushing running backs or quarterbacks. A TWO TIME defensive player of the year. Watch and enjoy (unless you are an Earl Campbell fan, then please, don't watch this)!!
GOAT
aaron who, this is the best interior lineman(offense or defense) to ever play the game!!!!!!!
So funny to think that I was at a navy retirement party, and didn’t even know that he was there
