Steven Jackson: The Man NO ONE Wanted to Tackle! | Throwback Originals 

it’s even more impressive when you look back at just how dismal the majority of those Rams teams were and how they had next to no talent around him year after year

@@SuperSuperbowl1 He was literally the Rams only offense

Kind of crazy how he's been forgotten a bit. At the time, Steven Jackson was a name we all knew and opposing teams feared

Istg bro

A large part of him being forgotten is the teams lack of success

Did it really mess up your shoulder

Eldorado h.s

😂😂😂😂 bruh you supposed to fake the tackle. Grab and fall

🤣🤣🤣☠️

Correction he tackled all 6 of you boys!

The thing about Steven Jackson is after 2006 he hardly was able to run full speed because there was hardly any blocking that allowed him to hit a open hole To me, he is gonna be a regular member of lists titled "most underrated" for the next few decades

they didn’t show that highlight tho, he breaks one tackle

He’s NO marshal faulk tho! He’s not a winner like he was .

Straight up! I never forgot about Steven. The Rams went a long time with a superstar back. Smooth transition from faulk

Slept on by who?? ja.

If he played on the steelers or another quality team from that Era he would be a hall of fame player.

I did too. Should have seen my madden 15 career

Definitely slept on though

I second that, S-Jax gave us a lot to deal with. Even Patrick had a tough time bringing him down.

@Johnny Blaze Yes! Frank Gore is ageless haha, loved watching him play back in the days...legendary.

Watching S. Jackson be the headhunting running back he was up against Patrick Willis was always a treat.

Jackson vs Patrick was amazing to watch compete

@Dullah Zair Jimmy G isn’t that bad, only problem is that he’s injury prone

That's like tryna tackle a linebacker! Yeah nah I'm good

Eh don’t even know if he’s top 20 tbh he was good but not most underrated ever

@@WideHarryCock agree, 4.1 yards per carry career wise, only once did he reach double digit 10tds, only a 3 time pro bowler, good back, not great.

Actually very overrated. He had one 1500 yard season, his career long run was only 59 yards and he averaged around 4 yards per carry most years. He was a good tough runner but he is not in the top 30 or even 50 when it comes to running backs in the NFL.

@@CRAZYHORSE19682003 He had 8 straight 1000 yard rushing seasons. He wasn't running behind the greatest o lines either. I definitely wouldn't call him overrated at all. He is a top 25 back in my opinion.

He’s got a certain confidence that’s a lot different than cockiness.

Lol those matchups were classic tho with Alexander in y'all backfield🤙🏽

He’s kinda like the original Marshawn Lynch

That's how us Rams fans felt about playing against Shaun Alexander! Dude was a beast

Yeah Lawrence Phillips was such a sad story.

Man you had Lawrence McCutcheon. Wendell Tyler John cappelletti even Marcus Dupree

@@troyc4250 I got a knockoff jersey of LP'.. believe me I know it all too well I was born in Omaha I lived through the 70s the 80s and 90s of course here we are today 2021 and Beyond forever a Husker Husker football for life true lifer go Big Red

Don’t forget abt Zac Stacy lmao

@@nathaneberly9471 Tre Mason lol

Curtis Martin got tons of love bro

Yeah... 2 those backs on same team. I used to play fantasy football.cuz I loved the players... now everyone who plays hates the players

Warwick Dunn, Ricky Williams, & Corey Dillion were decent as well. Jerome Bettis, Shaun Alexander & Marshall Faulk were the premier backs.

@@jaewilliams9685 Oh man, that brought me down memory lane. Ricky Williams was great. Dunn and Vick had a great combo. And Marshall Faulk, ill just leave it at that. He was revolutionary as well.

How are you forgetting frank gore here ... Lol whatttttt

rams are a top 10 team all time idiot lmao

He had Junk teams but still gave it his all and never left. even though he was on horrible teams

@@SomeOne-qm4xd be played for the Falcons too

@@buzz3627 rams were dog water 2005-2014

@@buzz3627 When Steven played RB for the Rams, they stunk bad.. 1 and 2 win seasons. They had a losing season from 2004 - 2016. And the last couple of years, they haven't been any good either. I understand that the ownership wanted a new home for them to start winning, but LA isn't it.

So after his prime he just got more stupid?

@@diamondgamebeats8826 i mean brain damage is kind coincided with the nfl these days due to the amount of concussions

@@TMSBMC steven jackson surprisingly never had a concussion

@@diamondgamebeats8826 i doubt it, a lot of players don't report them or just power through. Wes Welker is a prime example. Running Backs especially are prone

@@TMSBMC lmao you can't hide a concussion

Same. My fave team today still. This guy was our only bright spot.

Excellent receiver out the backfield, too.

In his prime, he was 240 plus.

😊

Bulger was a great QB! Never had an OLine to protect. One of the most underrated accurate qb’s ever. Feel bad for all those great players in STL. Kroenke knew as soon as he got there he wanted to go to LA. Drove that team to the ground.

​@sbegemann44 EXACTLY In hindsight you can see it

Ikr... Madden always paid him his respect

"a monster in a video game...and probably better in REAL LIFE." Blahahah!!😆😂😭

@@Danimal1577 yes, Dan. That’s what I said.

The Carolina Panthers did in 2007!

@@AmirKhan-yv8jm12 years later go figure

Derrick Henry is what Steven Jackson would've been if the Rams could pass...after 2006 those team had zero QBs and zero WRs Like a Steven Jackson with Sean McVay would've been crazy

Kinda runs like a basketball player

@@fredleeland2464 so that's crazy and he was more durable than most guys of his size

Henry is bigger, faster and stronger. Fun fact. Henry averaged over 300 yards rushing per game in high school as a senior and had 55 touchdowns that season. Had over 12,100 rushing yards in high school. Broke the national record.

@@frankiethefrog1752 true, I think cass Taylor was also right about the lateral agility. They definitely have differint skill sets

No shit it's Sean Mcvay and he watches the same video's I do! Myself, like many many others that know your career bow to you. You were probably one of few head coaches that could have revitalized the LA Rams. And the others that do not know how good of a football player you once were, or know you are the youngest NFL head coach or youngest head coach to go the super bowl etc. etc. I could go on and on about your accomplishments. I am a NE Patriot fan (an old one too) used to watch your father coach for NY Giants. I thought it was great you left a comment and good luck to you and the Rams this season. I hope either The Pats win the SB but, I'd be ok if our old QB Tom Brady and the Bucs win it again and TB gets his 8th ring (mind blowing!)

Doubt it. You're too stupid to spell "their" correctly.

@@frankcastle1221 ok frank

🤦🏿‍♂️

@@frankcastle1221 he's a football coach, not an English teacher 🤡

And he could cut on a dime. That's what really made him a freak. Power size and quickness

I see Lendale White at a dispensary in Denver lol

He’ll get in brother

Ya and I always forget he played on the Patriots 2015 team that lost a close one in Peyton Manning's last year

*Barry Sanders ;) He's not a fruit 🚫🫐🍓

That really was his one & only shot at a championship but at least he got the call from Bill. And he also had a td in the AFC Championship

With all due respect to Steven Jackson, I think Larry Csonka is obvious choice as the number 1 when it comes to #39.

@Cass Taylor Jackson would not have been the same physical athlete he was growing up in the 50s and 60s and playing in the 70s. That's an unfair comparison, athletically speaking.

Or Beast Mode before Beast Mode

Rams fan here. Gore was a beast too. I remember watching this workout vid where dude's literally throwing and dragging things around in a junkyard. Like wtf

I swear I hated goin against those dudes on Sunday knowing Jackson was the only weapon

Taller guys who play running back do or tall people in general

Those strong legs generated a lot of forward momentum

LD... perfect description ... lifelong Ram fan here...

He'd only pick up his feet after a studder step to go head on with a tackler...or of course the hurdle!

@Cass Taylor that makes total sense...thanks for mentioning!👍 You a coach?

Same here Oregon st legend

Very similar build and style. Najee is better tho

Never lead the league in rushing sooo....

he didn't have to lead the league in shit. he still the original beast mode.

@@5purplecups That’s because they were an absolute garbage team year after year. They were always behind so they had to throw more. Marshawn’s teams were consistently in the playoffs

@@5purplecups I’m remember as a kid him absolutely torching the Cowboys, had to get a new jersery mid game. He could ball out

My cookies are soft you most have overcooked yours 😆😆😆

Thanks for this story, bro. Jackson and Murray are like my top 2 favorite backs ever. Would have loved to see you be stiff armed "to the bleachers". xD

@@Dpad69 yea its crazy growing up with them and hearing about them. Then had to go against them! Both made it to the NFL too!

I believe he SHOULD be considered for HOF but,because of the crappy offensive squads that the Rams fielded year after year,he never will and that’s unfortunate. He didn’t hit the end zone enough because the Rams were too anemic to find the end zone as an offense. As you stated,the beloved Stan Donkey,I mean Kroenke made sure that St. Louis would not field a competitive team but,that’s another story. Steven Jackson will always be one of the greatest RB’s to ever tote the rock,HOF or not.

8 seasons And he only made 3 pro bowls surprisingly. No 1st team All Pros

@@Terror832 sucks Tomlinson was in his era

@@DanielRGonza and even some very underrated and almost forgotten superstar RBs like Shaun Alexander, Tiki Barber, Larry Johnson and then the next wave of Adrian Peterson, Marshawn Lynch, Chris Johnson, Ray Rice, Michael Turner, etc. So Steven Jackson was a very good RB and will be a hall of very good but not good enough to stand out amongst his contemporaries.

@@Terror832 …. I was testing to see who was paying attention 😆. Truth is SJ39 was never on a “winning” or dominate team. Look at the great Henry Ellard. When he retired he was in the TOP 5 of all receiving records. Even now, with the passage of time he’s still Top 10 in many categories. Too much emphasis on Team records @ the expense of the Players true production
