Jack Lambert's Top Plays | Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Fame Highlights 

The game is a shadow of itself

When NFL players knew how to tackle. Loved watching him play.

A mad man like that is part of the reason you win SUPER BOWLS

Some of Lambert's tackles weren't so much "punishing" as they were "crimes against humanity". Dude was an absolute monster on the field...!

JACK LAMBERT IS PURE BEAST MODE.

Grew up in the 70s watching the Steelers .What a team

DAMN! What it must have been like to be on those Steeler teams led by Mean Joe and Lambert rolling into town KNOWING you were the absolutely most badass MFers in the league and you carried all of that with you. That team was always like a loaded gun. Completely dangerous and victorious by far most of the time. What a player Lambert was. We all felt that power just by watching him.

A total beast!! A lot of those hits would result in penalties, fines and suspensions in today's NFL

Happy 66th Birthday Jack Lambert.

Jack Lambert is the reason I wore number 58 in High School. One of the most intimidating players in NFL history!!!

This guy played football the way it was meant ! Old school ! What an era we had the 80s football. Monday nights . NFL

Love him! My ultimate favorite player of all time!

The best middle linebacker to EVER play the game!! Back when football was real and worth watching!

Freaking beast y’all,a living legend 👍🏽

Lambert was and always will be the greatest linebacker to ever play the game. I love that guy. My favorite player of all time. I quit watching the NFL. I stopped being a Steelers fan. They all lost me. Makes me mad they put me in this position. I do miss the old 70’s Steelers. 👍🇺🇸❤️

Jack was a freak

I met and got jacks autograph when I was a kid back in the 90s. My dad played in a hockey game against a celebrity team which Lambert played on. At the time I didn't really appreciate who Jack Lambert was. But I have his autograph on a hockey stick of all things haha

Loved the way he literally tried to burry the opponent when he hit them. It seemed personal

Man he was awesome

Lambert complete mad man on the field.

Count Dracula in cleats. The heart of the Steel Curtain defense.

I hope in my life time I get to meet this man. God Bless.

Lambert will always be my favorite Steeler. When you think about Steelers toughness and grit,number 58 always pops up. His picture with his two front teeth missing will remain on my family room’s wall until I pass and then it shall hang on one of my children’s wall.

The end of the video is the best...Lambert full of mud on his uniform!!!! I Miss the muddy fields.

Here we go Steelers here we go!

Happy Birthday Jack!!!! #HereWeGo ##SteelersNation

That. Was. Phenomenal.

Jack is my favorite player of ALL TIME!

Awesome! 70's Steelers made me a Pittsburgh Steelers fan for life!

NOW ALL OF THE FOOTBALL PLAYERS WEAR DRESSES. THXS 58✨

1:05 pretty much says it all. Forward momentum, buddy? I don't think so. Then there's that hit on Earl Campbell at 1:40. People forget how tough that guy was. It was like trying to stop a giant cannonball. Lambert was one of the few guys who'd run full steam into big Earl, and actually halt him in his tracks. Man, I miss the old NFL team players, before it turned into the egotistical shit show we've got today. In fact, I stopped watching several years ago, and won't go back, even if they resume playing.

El mejor de todos los tiempos.

1:58 looks like the grass hasn't been cut in a month. 2:35 Anderson's helmet looks like what you got for Christmas as a 7-year old kid

These videos psych me up for the day...Matt NYC

When I was young I loved jack I thought he was so damm cool Steeler nation 👍

Beast

I miss the days when there werent so many rules... it was just get him on the ground

The heart and soul of that great defense

It wasn’t his size, strength or speed it was his total comment to every play!

One of the greatest Bad Asses none to man that’s all I got to say

This guy is cool

Exacto!! Una auténtica bestia Jack Lambert! Y el resto de ese gran equipo de acereros, grandes jugadores! Le dieron la gloria a Pittsburgh!

#58 was relentless. Linebacker play as it was meant to be.

Often he didn’t try to tackle. He tried to twist the helmet off 😂😂😂

Back when football was worth watching.

My favorite

I was about 10 years old when I started watching football. First game I saw was the 2nd Cowgirl/Steeler Super Bowl. Being Texans my brothers and friends were obviously all rooting for Dallas. I went the other way (not knowing the Steelers were in the middle of a dynasty) and rooted for Pittsburgh. The Steelers won of course and I was hooked. I asked my parents for Steeler shirts which they bought me much to the chagrin of my siblings. On picture days at school I would proudly wear my Steeler shirts. Lambert was the player that left me in awe with the missing teeth and all. He was my favorite. In my 20s, when I really understood football, I was a BIG fan of Greg Lloyd and consider him my favorite Steeler of all time though Hines Ward (who is my son's favorite Steeler) and Polamalu (and Lambert) are close behind. Though 95 was and is my fave, 58 ( in my humble opinion) is the greatest Steeler AND middle linebacker (take that Butkus) of all time. Even Lloyd can agree with that...well maybe not. 😂

He really caught the rb in mid air and toss his ass right back now that's what you called a #SteelCurtain 😤

Men of old men of renown.

Steel Curtain!! I love it

2:47 it's like the dude just let go and said you take him down Jack

The best.

Go big Jack need u today

I’m a die hard Patriots fan, but I can say that Lambert has to be one of the best Linebackers to play the game!! I heard a full back say that when they played the Steelers he wanted to call in sick to avoid Jack Laambert!!

No one has ever in the Pittsburgh Steelers been able to play to the level and intensity Which Jack Lambert played the middle linebacker position.

He would have been thrown of a lot of games today. Awesome player though!

Counted about 6 penalties for combo of late hit/taunting/defenseless receiver/slamming/unsportsmanlike haha.

JACK LAMBERT BAY BAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The interception against Green BAY why wasn’t he around in that Super Bowl lol grew up in Wisconsin!!

He must have loved Butkus, Nitschke and Mike Curtis (RIP ALL) because he ripped, flipped & mauled ball carriers just like them...My boys....Matt NYC

They don't make them like that anymore.

The MLB standard. Thanks Jack.

Not many played with more fury than #58

I'm guessing that Kent State had a pretty good run defense while Lambert was there.

Man he took that helmet and was like get the fuck off him loll

Intelligence and ferocity.

Lambert looked like he was literally trying to kill the ball carrier on each play. In all actuality he probably was haha.

The Steelers version of Dick Butkus. When Lambert was hot under the collar (such as after the Cliff Harris incident) just stay away and keep your distance. As hot tempered as he was I only remember him being ejected from one game.

They don't allow hits like these anymore

It doesn't seem that Jack does alot of autograph signings...Did he ever write a book? I know he's a Game Warden these days..I'm Ohio?? Penna? I'm a hunter, so maybe I have to go take some shorts (fishing 🎣) or poach a deer 🦌 out of season 🤔 to meet one of my Life Coaches ...atleast I'll get to hang out with The Man for a few hours!!!! Ha ha 😂 🤣 😆 😄 😅. It still gives me chills and send a lightning rod down my spine to watch these highlight films...Makes me wanna lay out a bank robber or purse 👛 snatcher in NYC running down the street. It's one of the only ways left to run as fast as you can and hit another man with everything you got and put his ass on Queer street as the Great UFC Legend Tank Abbott would say..yeah and in today's upside world 🌎..I...would get arrestedbl and charged with assault..NOT the criminal ...Ahhh..Id do it anyway...get to play "Jack Lambert" in Midtown Manhattan!!!! Happy Birthday Big Jack!! Matt NYC

El gran ' conde" Lambert

Hi

Yeah J.L. hit and always hit folks head up and in their face.

That’s when football was worth watching

Back when they could actually HIT someone without getting a penalty for Targeting or some other Powder Puff Penalty.

Guy was 6' 4" and 204 pounds. He made up for lack of size with ferocity. And yes he weighed 204 early in his career.

Count Jackula

TELL THEM LAMBERT SENT YOU. THAT'S WHAT HE SAID AFTER PUNCHING OUT THE PARKING ATTENDANT BEFORE A GAME!!!!!

Should have been set to Renegade. It's only right.

He hit with his chest mostly..he kept his face mask right there.. but most of the hits Were NOT straight head butts..very smart Cat...he was...Matt NYC

Nah...Butkus. Then Ray. Then that Tar Heel.kid. What's his name? Oh, yeah...L.T. The " little tank".

I'm still a Lambert Lunatic...just saying.

Played like every opposing player either owed him money or insulted his wife. Dude was a walking horror movie.

Imagine Jack in a Bar fight? UFC? Watch the F out...even today!! Kick yor mother F'in ass from here to kingdom come..Matt NYC

He was okay but RAIDERS

Like Harris wanted any.

that whole team was just mean

I’m related to him

That'll cool your ass off, lol

I don't like the new players wearing jerseys with 82 88_68 and 78.These numbers belong to heroes from my youth.Nobody should ever wear 58.Jack Lambert's 58 should be retired along side Joe Greene"s75.

Or maybe the current nfl like the nba Is soft AF

He tackles too high

I wish brady rodgers & manning would've played against lambert they wouldn't do what they do now BRADY Would be RETIRED!#!#!!

Randy White and Bob Lily were as good if not better…Lambert and Ham were part of a very talented team, BUT, the Cowboys at that time were the better team. Why? back then refs had begun helping the Steelers all the time while the legendary Cowboys used raw honest talent…better to lose honestly than win dishonestly…imho.

The non-woke NFL when men could play like men

the nfl today is a joke.
