I assure you the receivers taking the potential career-ending hits when keeping eye on the ball leaving them defenseless every Sunday just for our entertainment pleasure while we sit safe and sound filling our fat American faces w/football-watching comfort food DO NOT. At least that’s what I remind my spoiled New Jersey ass when bitching about glory days watching NFL football. Unfortunately, some safety measures had to be incorporated into the rules if we want to claim this is a civilized society. Playoff games seem to have less of these kinds of penalties. Something to look forward to. 😬
Who’s crying you sadistic fuck? I’m demonstratin’ some good ol’ fashioned human reason, empathy and understanding. If anyone’s crying too much it’s fans like you who want to keep on watching receivers get their heads knocked off and QB’s blown up from blindside monster hits. By the way did you enjoy watching those guys making $30k a year get their heads cut off? I didn’t think so.
I remember that hit like it was yesterday! Great football! Fencik said when he was a rookie once the games got out of reach he and PLANK use to spend the entire 4th quarter seeing who could KN0CK 0UT the most opposing players. I was in grade school and always patterned my game after Doug Plank. As kids playing football in vacant lot's we never said : we were going to tackle anybody. We always said: " we gone PLANK ah muh fucker"!!! & That's just what we did! We used to lay each other 0UT!
Plank bought a bunch of Burger Kings in retirement and acted like a coach to his staff, gave out awards, gave pep talks; it was amazing; the same tricks he learned in football he brought to his restaurant "team." He said they loved it.
@@iliv4disc77 How do you know he had the build of a power forward 6'9 260 and he was a small forward with the speed&athleticism of a shooting guard!!!!!
It looked good when schedule released, as Bears & Bucs 10-6 in '79. 1980 both 1-3, no offense & played a thriller at Soldier Field that Howard Cosell called "A terrible embarrassment for the National Football League." Bears won easily, but might have been scoreless at half. Fran Tarkenten with Frank & Howard
How many years to Doug Plank and Garry Fencik play together? Was it just 1? The bears had some other heavy hitters after Plank retired - Dave Duerson hit hard.
@@Odawg96 IT means he was racially biased for the black person, he took cowardly positions to justify his narratives all in the name of liberal WOKENESS🤮🤢 That's what the HELL it means.
The Bears have retired many numbers and it became impossible to retire any more. However, they should retire the #51 with Butkus name on the jersey and display that. It can be done. The New York Yankees have the #8 retired twice - Bill Dickey and Yogi Berra.
It was NOT legal, even back then. The pussy was fined by the league. Why didn't 46 and 45 hit guys like that when they were eye to eye! Answer; because they would've been trucked.
It’s not a defender’s responsibility to ensure an opposing player can defend himself. That’s the offensive players concern. The defenders job is to prevent any forward advance of the football by the offense. That’s it and that’s all.
I remember bringing my kids home on a crappy Halloween night and watching Butkus and Sayers getting their jerseys retired... it was back in 94, the year I had to look up.
Not then yet , it took another 15 or so years ,maybe less for 51 to be retired Conflict with Bears Owners and MGMT at the time with Butkus kept it from happening .
This video must be from the late 70's? The Bucs were so AWFUL from 1980 onwards to around the mid nineties and were not on Monday Night football all them years as the NFL only wanted to do good teams playing games on Monday night football for TV ratings and viewership.
Not illegal at the time. Watch other games from that era. "Going across the middle", was what you did to WRs that you wanted to punish. Jack Tatum would have looked at that play and said, "So what?"
A lot of wannabes who act like they wore high top leather cleats did not like my comment. Called it “real football”. Welll you want to know something? Robinson stayed in the game. That’s “real football “. You know what else ? Larry Csonka retaliated a few series later by running over a Bears defender. A guy laying out for a pass getting leveled is one thing. Staying in the game is real football.
Hell we played like that when i was in high school. The quarterback came fown the line on the option running the wishbone they got hit whether they had the ball or not.lol. and we were taught to put our facemask in their chest wrap up and lift up. Hopefully the running back had their head down or could have taken a shot in the chin. I am glad that now they are teaching a different way to tackle. But some of the targeting calls or unsportsmanlike calls like the one against vonn bell in the super bowl are ridiculous. He used his forearms with the hit and not his helmet the shot wasn't to the head but kupp's chest sorry it hurt but really was legal. It would be interesting to watch these guys play like they used to in the 70sand 80s. Lol. Would they be as good. I don't know. They are definitely stronger and football is all they really have to do unlike earlier years were they had jobs in the off season. This is bob not tammy. Lol.
There is always a story behind the story. Please read my recent post on that play. I made a sacrifice to play that night with the assistance of pain killers. I was not a dirty player. Gary Fencik and I always had the fewest penalties on our team. I could have said "I do not want to play tonight because of my broken ribs."
I played with 4 broken ribs that night. I was injected before the game and at half time to reduce the pain. I could lower my helmet to initiate the hit but could not use my arms to tackle. I hit another Buc receiver earlier using only my helmet. Now you know the rest of the story.
Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, watching Plank and Fencik was a treat.
My favorite defensive player. Miss this type of football.
We all do!

@@mike2565 I agree with you. What do you want to bet that ass kickers cimerians and PRHILL never played the game.
Plank said he had been waiting to make that hit since the game started.
So glad he got to deliver.
I remember that hit like it was yesterday!

Doug was SMOKING HOTT MAD AFTER THAT HIT!!!!!!
He acted like a fool anytime he didn’t get a call he wanted. Like a spoiled eight year old child.
@@Roman-tw5xw He was standing up for his teammates
Nope, just being a bitch.
Nope, acted like bitch.
Standing up for his teammate by complaining about a legal play. Makes sense if you’re shit stupid.
One of my all time favorite players
Ed Bluthardt He made watching the Bears tolerable, sometimes even fun.

Clean hit !! Shoulder to chest ! Even by today's standards , clean hit !
funniest part was at 0:12 when Williams slips and his helmet gets kicked off by #51
Damn! That is FOOTBALL!
Todd Black Tom Brady would not have survived in the NFL of the '80s against ppl like Lawrence Taylor.
Got that right
@@dwightlove3704 And LeBron would not have survived the NBA of the 80s and 90s.
I love watching NFL footage from the 70s and 80s. Tatum and Atkinson from the Raiders and Doug Plank were really laying the smack on receivers.
@@iliv4disc77 How do you know he had the build of a power forward 6'9 260 and he was a small forward with the speed&athleticism of a shooting guard!!!!!
I was at that game and remember the play. It was nothing more than a great hit by an all time great Bear.
Good hit. Back when the NFL was great.
Plank finally gettin' the love.
Plank always brought it!
Doug Williams was LIVID!
Imagine a Planck and Cecil safety tandem with Atwater at nickel? High regard to Tatum, Lott, Shell, Easley et al... but those first three were GOAT!
No they weren't, not even close.
None of those guys you first mentioned are in the HOF. Great players yes, but not HOF'ers....sorry
@@mayhemjr.803 Gotta follow football more closely sonny! You are way off.
@mayhemjr.803 Are you actually stupid? Lott is probably the best safety to have ever lived, and is most certainly in the HOF
John Lynch was a good hitter too
@@mayhemjr.803- Steve Atwater is in the HOF
It looked good when schedule released, as Bears & Bucs 10-6 in '79.
1980 both 1-3, no offense & played a thriller at Soldier Field that Howard Cosell called "A terrible embarrassment for the National Football League."
Bears won easily, but might have been scoreless at half.
Fran Tarkenten with Frank & Howard
Jason Richards no no the bears record was 9-7 in 1979
@@MrTeatreeoil - Incorrect. The Bears were 10-6 in 1979.
Giles doesn't "drop the pass". The Bears' linebacker dropped the interception
How many years to Doug Plank and Garry Fencik play together? Was it just 1? The bears had some other heavy hitters after Plank retired - Dave Duerson hit hard.
Buddy Ryan's 46 Defense was named after Plank who would walk up and play a LB spot. Fencik replaced Plank at SS later on.
I remember this "hit"... I looked for it about ten years ago but obviously it wasn't up yet... and I think I may have spelled Giles with a "J"
Jimmie Giles was never the same after this hit.
He was pretty damned good after that hit.
I saw Giles speak during a documentary on Williams and Giles is a woke and biased guy...I don't like Giles 🤢

That cooled Giles down for the season ! Way to go Plank !
Giles made the Pro Bowl.
It cooled his ass off for the game.

Appears to want to fuck him.
Plank was awesum
Anybody on the Bears except Butkus wearing #51 was a shame.
No kidding. I know that wasn't Butkus. The Bears let this guy wear #51, when it should have been unofficaly retired.
And he dropped the INT, too. SMH.
The Bears have retired many numbers and it became impossible to retire any more. However, they should retire the #51 with Butkus name on the jersey and display that. It can be done. The New York Yankees have the #8 retired twice - Bill Dickey and Yogi Berra.
Joseph Melcher That is no longer the case its on the retired list.
@@dwightlove3704 - I knew that. They retired the jerseys of both Butkus and Sayers on the same day on October 31, 1994. My bad.
Poor mans butkus
Throw it over the middle against that defense and you have lost your right to complain.
Beast!
Old Doug Williams got running from the police speed.daaaaaammmn.
Scott Davidson Do you think that hit was legal!!!!!
@Scott Mayfield Thanks

Of course it was legal you clown.
The receiver wasn't looking, couldn't defend himself.
You can’t hit me in the chest, I wasn’t looking!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nothing cheap about this hit. Good, hard football.
Sure,,,,,if being half an hour late isn't an issue, good hit then
On his feet with the ball in his hands, fair game.

A hit on a defenseless receiver
Well, it was legal back then.
Real football back then

Clean hit snowflake.
Nothing dirty about it. Great hit. Only pansies have an issue with it.
In no way does the defensive player have to ensure that the offensive player is prepared for contact before initiating a hit.
