@@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.

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.

@pst7024 ай бұрын
The removal of hitting has little to do with CTE concerns, that is just the excuse. The real reason is greed. When they began getting rid of the hitting was when they decided to market the game more to women. The female audience didn't like the "violence" so they did everything they could to get rid of big hits. They could care less about their male fan base - they assume men will always line up for whatever crummy product they are serving. And they are correct. Market share among males in the USA was topped out, but the female market had tons of room for expansion. Get rid of the hitting, support breast cancer (with lip service at least), and punish players who commit domestic violence like it is treason.

whats the NBA??@@REXX399
the league today is soft. the last two years have been laughable.
Absolutely!!!
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.
he would have been like bob griese or phil simms and NO WAY he plays until 40 ... like everyone else in 1970s -80s he would have had to quit by age 35
@@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.
Yeah, if he played back then, and he had that pretty boy attitude, they would’ve put them away
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.
I literally can watch this very video every NFL Sunday instead of today’s game. Great video and beautiful clarity. Thanks Dave!
Its true if dave just put random scores on the screen id tune in every Sunday😅
When Mike Curtis tried to decapitate Roman Gabriel it made the cover of Sports Illustrated.......Now its an ejection and 100k fine.
They(NFL Rules Commission)has taken defense out of the game
@sammyvh11 Yes .. I always thoroughly enjoy watching Curtis clothes-line the clown fan who runs on the field during the game.
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.
@@lousifei Couldn't agree more with what you wrote. Love it.
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!
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?
I'd love to see a side by side comparison of what the "old" footage looked like 😮
A Lot of guys got really Fucked up Back then. & are still to this day.😵💫
That's what I was going to comment on..👍
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.
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...
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!
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 !
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 by far one of the best NFL videos I ever watched. Excellent.
Thanks for reminding me why I fell in love with football growing up in the 70s!!
me too
Back when they played tackle football, not aggressive touch football. Now the NFL stands for National Feminine League.
agreed so sad what coporations have done to a once great past time
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.
National Felon League 😅
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 !!!!!
AGREED!!!!💯💯💯💯
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.
Lol yes all ejected by today's rules lol
@@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.
'nobody talks about that aspect' - That's a big fat lie - you're talking about it
'no one ever knew about CTE' - yeah, who would have thought that taking a million hits to your body could ever result in something bad. Go figure.
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)
if you love flag football, the modern game is amazing
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.
@@ericbutler739maybe golf would suit you more
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!
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.
There are 10 minute clips of Brady getting destroyed and getting right up. Stupid narrative to push. Rules weren't implemented his 1st half of career.
@@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.
@@dannysullivan8929 Brady hater right. Must be a Jets fan.
@@chazzx1018 Pittsburgh Steelers my whole life. Merry Christmas.
@@dannysullivan8929 Definitely not a hater then.😆Merry Christmas!🎅May the next year bring better things!
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.
Back when men played the game and they could hit the quarterback without 5 yellow flags flying through the air. They even got muddy back then....wow
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 ....
The clarity is so amazing. I've never seen old school games look so good.
Ben Davidson literally decapitated Griese at 4:25
Love how the RB’s and WR’s stayed in bounds and didn’t tip toe out. I really miss the old NFL
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.
This will be on my watch list, the quality of your restoration looks unbelievably great..your work should be in tha national archives
This is why we love football! Thanks Dave.
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.
Both hits were in 1976; the Eagle who was so viciously clotheslined was Dave Hampton.
The music for these vids were always great!
THIS is what real football fans love... not just about the QB throwing touchdown passes. The NFL from the 2000's on up has become ridiculous.
You are to be commended, sir- the color and clarity here is remarkable.
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.
Nice, thank you. I remember some of those hits. I was born in 1964. Football was brutal. You had to be tough. Quarterbacks were tough back then.
OMG, I have never seen such high quality video of NFL highlights. I don't know what you did to produce such crystal clear video, but KEEP DOING IT.
All I can say is THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊
I miss Football
i feel you bro; glad i got to see it though
@@futuretimetraveller8677 👍
First person they show is Jack Lambert! Great choice!
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
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
Thanks Dave, I couldn’t think of a better Christmas gift
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.
Thank you Dave.. Thinking next year is flag football...good reminder football means tackling ❤
its pretty much already flag football; in 5 yrs females will be permitted to play in the nfl probably
Great! the footage is mint clear and crisp!
Better than any NFL highlights videos, thank you.
Glad to have you back in biznazz!
This is real NFL football and this is a super awesome 20 years of brutal NFL hits video!!
BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanx Dave!
🏈 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 !!!
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.
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.
Saw that Falcon's hit on Nehemiah of the 49ers, Falcons went on to win that playoff game, might've been in '80
@27:20 that sack on Bradshaw ushered in the rule changes to protect the qb "in the grasp" hits like that, the league list 8 qbs one Sunday.
One of the best videos yet. Thanks for all the work putting a gem like this together.
Wow.... QUALITY IS OUTSTANDING... Thank You Extremely 🙏
wow the production quality on this is beyond unreal, the color, the clarity, even the damn music, wow!!
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
I always appreciate the work you do on your videos. 👍🏼
This is from a time that you had to be a real man to run a crossing route in the NFL.
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."
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
I love these old NFL films. You can practically smell the grass.
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.
Great presentation!!!...Love the 70's brass soundtrack, right outta a Clint Eastwood Dirty Harry movie!!!...thanks very much!!!...\m/
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. 🙏🏾❤️
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.
Thank you for these videos. It's been a while since i've seen a whole game of the current thing.
Way back when . The NFL was Brutal . U had too be one tough bad good, crazy , Superhuman and love the game too Survive in the NFL 💯❤️
Quality´s amazing: Looks so good!!! THANK YOU!
Great work as usual dave, i can’t believe how vibrant the picture is , Bravo
Thanks Dave, great to relive NFL memories from my younger days. Boy, Joe Kapp sure took a beating!
Terrific video quality! Well done. Cheers!
Great compilation and great quality. Thanks.
Concussion? No. You got your bell rung. Now get back out there and don’t let your teammates down, Mary!
Exactly 😂. Bigger, faster, stronger my ass.. These dudes back in the day were layin the wood!!
Great work, the image quality is fantastic .. Gotta love the NFL Films style of music
Probably one of the dumbest yet funnest sports to watch. And of course my favorite!! Great stuff Dave!!!!!
Thanks a Billion Dave This was the NFL when I was growing up in the 70's and 80's. Btw, not everyone got CTE.. because I know that there are crybabies😭 who never understood what it is to play this game ... because 9 out of 10 NEVER played the game. It's a risk, but so are most things in life. I played the game and enjoyed every minute I was on that football field 🏈
The removal of hitting has little to do with CTE concerns, that is just the excuse. The real reason is greed. When they began getting rid of the hitting was when they decided to market the game more to women. The female audience didn't like the "violence" so they did everything they could to get rid of big hits. They could care less about their male fan base - they assume men will always line up for whatever crummy product they are serving. And they are correct. Market share among males in the USA was topped out, but the female market had tons of room for expansion. Get rid of the hitting, support breast cancer (with lip service at least), and punish players who commit domestic violence like it is treason.
@@albertcovington9942 Try again. If that were the case, they wouldn't play Thursday games (four days recovery), or have added a 17th (21st) game to the schedule. That is just the lie ESPN keeps repeating on the NFL's behalf.
@@albertcovington9942 The clothesline has been gone since the late 1970s or early 1980s. Face masking has been completely banned since 1962. Horse collar tackles were banned for the 2005 season. So all of these came about before the present administration, Roger Goodell, and the Pinkification of the NFL. This is the period I am specifically speaking of. Your point about the extra revenue I agree with completely, but it seems to make my point. I didn't understand the other line in your post so I didn't address it.
Oh, nevermind I got it. Sounds great but it doesn't seem to work that way at all. ETA: meaning the fans show up for and tune in for the games regardless of who might be out that week injured.
@@albertcovington9942maybe golf would suit you more
Incredible Dave, even the highlighted films look live.
Sweet! Thanks. I'd watch a montage of the ads from those broadcasts, too. Different game back then.
Super high quality video! great work!
Thank you Dave!
I've watched four minutes and already feel like I need an ice bath and some Ben Gay.
Mission accomplished :)
Great stuff Dave!!! Love your channel!!!!!
The music and the video quality is really awesome great job
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.😮😮😮
Thanks Matthew! You mean Danny Abramowicz :) Here is that 'hit' -- kzhead.info/sun/ZKVwgN6GhayhaJ8/bejne.htmlsi=WOw_Dg6HZN5_Tsmb&t=1919
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 🎄
Thanks Coach!
Thank you for this Christmas Present Dave Volsky, I was an 11 year old again for 36 Minutes and 4 seconds watching "This week in the NFL with Pat Summerall and Tom Brookshier" and the NFL Game of the week with Harry Callas doing the play by play.
The NGL used to be *SO GOOD!* Thanks for sharing this fantastic vid
Your the Rembrandt of old film restoration.nfl films should give you a shitload of money and put you to work.bravo my man
Salute to you Dave showing what football used to be! 🏉
Growing up in the 60s and 70s and watching sports was fantastic to say the least.
Great video ! Thanks !
Just awesome thank you!
This is awesome! Love the music, too!
Great video, thanks.
I remember watching some of those plays live as happened unfortunately I was watching a black and white television
best clarity of vintage football I've ever seen
Players were of a tougher breed back then. Great footage and music to accompany it.
Real football right here..great quality and music too
Great job with the video and the music Dave! The majority of these hits would be penalties today!
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.
Amazing video. This is what TV looked like back in the day when you had a decent TV set. I remember watching games on the big 32 inch wood grain cabinet style TV thinking how clear it was 20ish yrs before HD was common place only to be outdone by 4k 10 yrs later or so. It wasn't grainy like movies and old clips made it out to be.
