Legends Young & Old Clash! (Chargers vs. Raiders 2003, Week 4) 

Glad you appreciate it!

@@NFLVault war eagle and thanks !

@@NFLVault I love this video, it's so epic & raw

@@NFLVault keep up the content from this era and the 90s and the true throwback games I love your channel

Like Tom brady in 2021

Barley see 1997 nfc championship game

Zachary Madden I remember been about 6 or 7 and remembering them playing. Miss those days

Neal is not a forgotten Fullback in my book. He was a force at the position

@@mattthieme2918 I guess I just mean the position in general has become forgotten. With that, means many people missing out on talented ones in the past. If you are talking specifically about the best fullbacks, he wouldn't be forgotten but if you were talking about that Chargers team, people mention LT/Brees, but rarely mention Neal. It's almost like forgetting important O-Lineman on great teams. It just comes with the position.

Neal blocked for 6 1000 yard rushers I wanna say , him and tony Richardson for the chiefs former Auburn legend and larry centers as the best in this era am I wrong?

@@ericsigersmith2831 In that particular era I would add in MIke Alstott. Tony Richardson prob blocked for a decades worth of 1,000 yard rushers for the Chiefs and Larry Centers had amazing hands for his size, caught everything....and I was so happy when he finally won a SB with the Pats (even as a huge Bills fan who Centers also played for) after a big career for the Cardinals.

Actually I think he's had one in New Orleans too, from Taysum Hill the other QB

Brian Harper no. Drew Brees has expressed in interviews he really wants to have a touchdown reception in New Orleans though.

Phillip Riles There can only be one LT

Several other players on both these teams ended up going to multiple Pro Bowls, possibly might end up being future Hall of Famers themselves: Charlie Garner, Sebastian Janikowski, Shane Lechler, Lorenzo Neal, Donnie Edwards, Philip Buchanon, all of these players were voted to at least one Pro Bowl throughout their respective careers, two more of them (Janikowski and Lechler) have been consistently voted by writers, fans, and fellow players as being some of the very best at their positions, and along with Adam Veniteri of NE/Indianapolis, could end up being eventually inducted into the Hall of Fame. Lorenzo Neal won't end up being enshrined in Canton, but during his long, very successful career from 1993-2007, he was voted to multiple Pro Bowls and considered one of the best FBs of his era, Donnie Edwards had a great career at LB with Chargers and Chiefs, and both Buchanon and Garner were underrated, consistently successful position players over their careers. Garner was a bit of a late bloomer at RB IN Oakland and Tampa Bay, he became a far better, reliable RB as he grew older, sort of in the similar fashion Roddy White did over the course of his long, fruitful career as a WR for Falcons.

Rich?

@@davidroberts7282 I don't see any of those guys being HOFs except maybe Janikowski. Rich Gannon would get in before most of them.

Sam W. Imagine if Rich won a SB... He'd probably be in the Hall of Fame...

So has Brady lol

Wait for a Patriots video lol, Brady wasn't in this game. Jerry Rice is THE GOAT, position doesn't matter.

Lol

Haha, yeah I think he might just have a future in this league

Brian Harper yeah he could work on his accuracy though, might have another good 10 years in the league.

@@theinvictussamaritan4778 What I love is he was pretty much responsible for dragging Sean Payton to New Orleans too. Sometimes it takes a hurricane..... Drew Brees, Mighty Mouse, my favorite QB ever to not wear a 49ers uniform..

Wheres david Boston

@Curly Que we would've beaten anyone except Tampa in 2002. And you're right...the success duped us (and more importantly, Al Davis) into thinking that a quick fix could be made.

@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 I remember Callahan saying dumbest team in America at press conference

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

SPTO the Chargers unis since 2007 have sucked. They ruined the powder blues except 09 where they brought back the real ones

I always liked the navy blue helmets way more. It looked more intimidating.

the navy version of those are my favorite all time

@@tvph Jerry Rice Is The True GOAT As A Legend

San Diego super chargers

Glad you like them!

Hell ya and war eagle!

God please let my chargers crush the raiders

@@sourkraut5369 let's hope for a good game

You got your wish. GG, by the way. That was exciting, can't wait for week 16.

Great win for you guys to now be 5 and 4 and you got a legit RB in Josh Jacobs. 101 total yards and a TD. A beast. That Mack trade is not looking that bad, as it looked at first. Mack is a beast, still getting those draft picks helped and was the reason the Raiders drafted Jacobs.

Former basketball player at Kent st

2-3 Superbowl champions

Ya love the random games

Nah. He's not LT. He's LaDainian Tomlinson. Don't get it twisted, Lawrence Taylor is LT. Lol

@@derpmcgerp8062 Lawrence Taylor is an all time great but LaDainian Tomlinson was just as important to his team than Lawrence Taylor was to his in my opinion

@@qceaz11 that's fair. Maybe instead of LT it could be LDT, to avoid confusion. Lol

@@derpmcgerp8062 facts lmao

crazyhotgirlsreactions.link/7jv5Oc_EEo8

Lincoln Kennedy was a great tackle

It started because Gannons career ended. When he broke his neck.

@@vernac86 marquis tuiasosopo was the backup I think former washington huskie

First round pick , probably will never see that again ....

Love it!

Classic

@@ericsigersmith2831 Classic Memories

Lol no. The clock at the Coliseum stopped working. OT was 15 minutes still back then. Sudden death.

Hell ya 6 1000 yard rushers

You commented something similar on a different raiders throwback game lol

@@lovetrain3256 Yeah, totally. I gave more of like an overview of how different his career was on the Raiders and as an older player versus a younger one...this was just a beast game he played lol

Age and the motivation they had from the Tuck Rule in 2002 was gone. Their defense was just abysmal and on the road, they just couldn't get down the field the way they did at home. When Gannon got hurt in Week 8 against KC, the season was done. But they lost a couple of frustrating, winnable games to Cleveland and Chicago on the road that pretty much told me the run was over.

They were really really old and steroids stopped working for romanowski lmao

For me growing up in SD, it's the opposite.😎👍

@@miggy2times Best Childhood Memories!

It was Gannons injury that cost them the season.

Dumbest team in America Callahan said lmao remember

Rickey henderson was legend on this field also

Mike Pratt imagine how many Chargers fans were crying when they saw Brees hoisting up the Lombardi in a Saints uniform...

@@theinvictussamaritan4778 I know this 2 years old but drew Brees being traded was not the reason why the chargers didn't win a super bowl. If they kept him it probably turns out the same. Why ? you might ask well the reason is tom Brady and the Patriots. 3 times they met and 3 times the chargers lost. Also Phillip rivers is gonna be in the hall of fame so they didn't end up with a bad qb after all. I know Brees is better but the qb position is not the reason why the chargers didn't win or even get to a SB ...

Gruden loved older players same with al Davis

The clock at the Coliseum had stopped working.

15:00 minutes first team to score wins CBS probably had problems

The Coliseum clock had malfunctioned so CBS couldn't keep track as it was being done on the field by the officials.

Yeah all those years when you were good and we were horrible. When was the last time we went to the superbowl and when was the last time the chargers went?

@Curly Que raiders with salary cap were in rough shape after sam Adams and others left or got old or hurt

@Tyler G even Payton was their best qb smh

@Tyler G Yeah I totally forgot about Sweetness. He was the first and I think he is the record holder.

crazyhotgirlsreactions.link/_VRftrfzrvc

Walter Payton had eight. Tomlinson had seven. And Marcus Allen had six for the Raiders and Chiefs.

@@manuginobilisbaldspot424 Thanks I was going to look it up. Thanks for putting up the numbers. Forgot about Marcus Allen throwing TD's, damn he had 6 though. Just look at that list. All 3 are great.

Dion R if he stayed with the chargers maybe. But LT is the greatest charger

Ladanian

So we just gonna forget about or not even mention Junior Seau?

Really i was thinking Rivers

Safer than astroturf, which was the alternative… Stadiums are expensive, especially when taxpayers are finding them. Many middle-tier cities could get public funding for *a stadium*, not two, and that’s how you ended up with all the multipurpose “concrete donuts”. They even ruined beautiful baseball-only stadiums like the Oakland Coliseum, Candlestick Park, Anaheim Stadium, etc by turning them into multipurpose monoliths. Luckily Anaheim Stadium has since been restored

Ya I think this was when butler was the chargers gm

@@ericsigersmith6067 He Sure Was Sir Exactly
