When the 4th period began the determined Denver offense still needed more restoration work from Norris Weese. What it got instead was a demolition job from the Doomsday Defense.
This music combined with the terrifying images of Randy White, Harvey Martin and Too Tall Jones destroying Craig Morton put the fear of God in me when I was a kid...REAL TALK!!!
Morton was raped. Pressure everywhere. It's actually kinda funny. Left right up the middle pressure with a little bit of Hollywood. Score is not indicative because Denver couldn't move the ball. Dallas turned ball over on offense 3 times. Could have been 42-10.
As the fourth period began, Denver’s determined offense still needed more restoration work from Norris Reese. What it got instead was a demolition job from the DOOMSDAY DEFENSE....
The same fierce pass rush that had destroyed Craig Morton, which now supplimented with an occasional blitzing linebacker and Weese feel into desparate trouble. Gives me chills everytime. DOOMSDAY DEFENSE!
This should go in the Smithosonian...Doomsday II KILLED eleven men in that game day. Dallas owns this song as much as the Raiders own Autumn Wind. Millennial's dont know what real Defense was. Manster #54...To Tall #72 looks like Vader etc...
Fun fact: even though the NFL did not officially start recording sacks until 1982, various teams did track their own players' defensive plays and for the 1977 season, the Cowboys record Harvey Martin getting 23.0 sacks in only 14 games (as in more than the "official" single season record 22.5 accomplished in a 16 game season)..... Also, Ed Jones is the reason the NFL started tracking passes batted down by defensive linemen as he was so good at that due to his height. All in all, the 4 men anchoring the defensive line (White, Martin, Jones, Pugh) finished their careers with unofficial sack totals of 111.0 (white), 114.0 (martin), 106.0 (Jones), and 95.5 (Pugh). Few teams in NFL history can boast a front 4 with that kind of pass rushing firepower.
@@22steve5150 Most teams would be happy with two guys like that in the D-Line let alone all four. I know the Rams of the 1960's early 1970's had a line like that same with the Purple People Eaters at the same time. Recently the Bills did in 2013 and 2014 before they messed that up with hiring Rex Ryan a 3-4 guy.
@@22steve5150 ...FUN FACT: from the inception of the Super Bowl era in 1966 to the end of the 1970's, the Los Angeles Rams org. collectively had the best defense in football those 15 seasons....
Defensive player of the year,70's all decade team,Super Bowl co-MVP, multiple time All-Pro and not in the HOF. Harvey Martin not being there is a shame. Same for Drew Pearson.
The Manster holy Jesus I saw him at d.f.w. once and he was just as intimidating as he was on the football field. He looked like he was waiting for Russ Grim to get off the plane.
And Pittsburgh's front four was the best. They nearly won Super Bowl IX single handedly. If Minnesota hadn't blocked the punt and no TDs happened, Dwight White's safety would have been the only score
@@1983jblack Pitts front 4 definitely got the most media love. but statistically speaking, the front 4 of the Los Angeles Rams from 1966 to 1980, collectively as an organization in those 15 seasons, had the most QB sacks and where the best against the run.
@@bconni2 When you give the Rams 1966-80, we're talking nearly 3 different DL eras the exception of Olsen for the majority of it. The Rams used him, Jones, Lundy, Grier, Brown, Talbert, Bacon, Youngblood, Dryer, Brooks, and Fanning in that period. Pittsburgh from 1972-79 had Greenwood, Greene, Holmes, White, McGee, Furness, and Banaszak and the first four were together for most of 1972-77. The Rams had a ton of sacks I'll admit that completely, top run defense rotated between the Steelers, Rams, and Vikings pretty much. What I like most about Pittsburgh was even though they didn't get alot of sacks, they caused alot of turnovers because of the pressure they put on QBs. While the Rams and Vikes did that too, I've seen the Steelers just put more pressure on with their front four in films. Everyone's got their preferences and all were great lines along with the Giants front of the '50s and the Chargers of the early '60s
@@1983jblack after the fearsome foursome , the Rams organization transitioned into the next generation of d lineman pretty seamlessly. perhaps the media was stumped on giving the Jack Youngblood era of their front 4 a nick name, because they already had the FF. but that front four of Youngblood, Brooks, ( Olsen ) Fanning and Dryer was elite. from a statistical standpoint, the best in football.
"As the 4th period began Denver's determined offense still needed more restoration work from Norris Weese. What it got was a Demolition Job . . . from the "Doomsday Defense"."
I've said this before, anybody who is named to an NFL all-decade team should be removed from the HOF candidate pool and just automatically inducted at the earliest opportunity. Have you seen the backlog of NFL all-decade team safeties waiting to get in to the HOF? It's insane.
If I was a coach at any levels of football. I would show all players highlights of old school football. Because you make a play and you walk back to the huddle. You don't have to dance your way back or jump around like you just won the superbowl.
The defensive shifts show the absolute brilliance of Coach Tom Landry, who was a defensive coach for the New York Giants in the 1950's. By the way.....the offensive coach of the same Giants team? Vince Lombardi! It doesn't get any better than that!
As a Steelers fan, i gotta say that this song is badass, and always makes me think of Dallas Doomsday Defense westher i want to ir not, Superbowl 12 was my first one!
That happened the year that Martin set an unofficial sack record of 23.5 in 14 games......and even against a multi-pro bowler having a career year, you can see the offensive line is so focused on stopping White that they all but forgot about Martin. That's fucked up. Manster got em peeing themselves.
Doomsday is back in Dallas! Relentless pass rush, and opportunistic secondary with Parsons, Lawrence, Gregory, Diggs, Galimore, and Vander Esch. They are disruptive playmaker, too!
Doomsday always had some damn good defensive linemen. These hits and tackles along with the music for this clip and Pony Soldiers gets me into the real mood for some real football. Unlike today's version of the Cowboys, this Era was always a must see/watch product on Sundays and Monday nights. I'd rather watch these old films of the once mighty Cowboys in the Cotton Bowl and Texas Stadium than todays version in AT&T Stadium. Also, back then we never really had to endure seeing the owner after every play for his reaction, as we do for the narcissistic Jerry Jones.
I like to play the same NFL Music videos on two different widows at the same time. It sounds like it's in stereo. Ever better is doing it with one a second behind the other, it sounds like an echo.
The REAL MVP of that game was Randy Hughes with two fumble recoveries and two interceptions. No way they were giving MVP to a rotational player that day.
Back when the defense was equal with the offense. Now the defense is neutered by a variety of rules changes. Modern football is still fun to watch but I would rather have 50s-70s ball anyday. I dont think a 14-10 game with more hits and rougher blocks is boring at all.
ROCK (music) is why I dance ...this song (Blockbuster) and the slow motion NFL Films on it is why I Ooozed of being a Football Player as a kid. Just Beat the Crap out of your opponent...this song is better Sex.
It's from The Dewolfe Music Library, NFL Films used a ton of stuff from Dewolfe amongst other music libraries. The Album is called Man of the Moment composed by Simon Park multipleoffense.wordpress.com/2017/07/27/the-blockbuster-and-the-beautiful/
Oakland was on the way down and Pittsburgh was a mess in 1977 off the field and their record showed. They literally snuck in the playoffs when Cincinnati lost. Of course, they returned to form in 1978 and dethroned Dallas.
The only defensive team better might have been the '85 Bears or the 2000 Baltimore Ravens. The 70s had so many GREAT defenses. The Vikings...Steelers...Rams...Cowboys ( superb in Super Bowls 5 and 6 as well as Super Bowls 10 and 12) The Early 70s Lions were as tough as nails. Broncos "Orange Crush" put fear into people. As did the Raiders. Defenses dominated until they changed the rules mid 70s to favor the offense. Best defensive game of the decade: Cowboys 5-3 playoff win over the Detroit Lions...1970. Honorable mention: Miami Super Bowl 7 win over the Redskins...who were nearly shut out 14-7. I personally believe the early 70s Cowboy defense was the best ever that they had. But the 77 team played in an era which gave the advantage to offenses. Yet the 77 defense dominated anyway. So it is a coin flip as to which Cowboy's defensive team was better.
