I wonder what happened to that Elway guy. Did he ever do any better? 😂 Thanks for posting all of these videos, such an interesting look back. I was 9 in the 83 season and it’s really the first season I remember watching regularly. Sadly, I watched the Giants go 3-12-1 that year…thankfully they decided not to fire Bill Parcells.
Yes Mark, Elway did get better, eventually. Even though he did appear in some Super Bowls, he did win 2 of them in '97 and '98. He entered the Pro Football Hall Of Fame. He did get better than his first year games and stats showed, though he probably wishes that his first years were comparable to Dan Marino's first years, when he lit up the stats for TDs thrown.
@@mf7482 ha, yes, my sarcasm did not translate. It’s funny to hear an all time great talked about like that. Peyton Manning’s first year was not so great either but you could tell he had it. I didn’t remember Elway’s first year, so by the time I became aware of him he was already great.
@@mrufino1 But I am really glad that it all worked out for John Elway and that the coaches never gave up on him. I grew up in an Air Force dad and He was stationed at the Air Force Academy twice and it was during the '60s and '70s I was a big Bronco fan. Anyway, I've seen many a QB have rough starting years, but either they were too prideful and couldn't accept helpful criticism down went their career most times a few years later as they were shuffled off to other teams. Even the great QBs like Johnny Unitus and Joe Nameth were traded to another team before they retired. John Elway got to stick to his one team to retire from. I wish he could have lasted into the 21st Century before retiring. Now I see him in those commercials for a hand ailment in his nonthrowing hand.
Right around this time NFL Films was putting together Best of the Football Follies Film and said the Saints were the ideal team for a city that gave birth to the Blues.
Well the Miami Dolphins lost this game to New Orleans but as far the highlights went, NFL FILMS showed a player during pregame warm-ups at 0:53-0:55 that I went to high school with in the 70's. #51 Linebacker Mark Brown. He was a 9th round draft pick and I didn't think he'd make the cut, but he did. He played for 9 seasons, 7 with Miami and 2 with Detroit. It still seems a little surreal. WAY TO GO MARK 🏈 !!!
In 1983 & '84 Mark Brown was an active-type vs the inside running game, who was honestly lost vs the pass. In 1985 he led the Dolphins in tackles, being very active in stopping Off-Tackle running plays, but was still slow in his drops. 1986 was when Mark Brown developed into an adequate blitzer/cover LB after moving outside because of an injury to Hugh Green. Bulking up to 230 pounds in 1986 robbed him of some speed, but by then he was better able to fill the gaps and take on plays at the point of attack instead of trying to run around them. He just looked to have a better feel outside in 1986 before his 1987 season was a microcosm of a career in which he was bounced around more than a mattress in a brothel. Mark Brown began 1987 replacing the injured John Offerdahl inside, then moved to the right outside spot upon Offerdahl's return where Mark Brown played very effectively. Mark Brown was always a bit on the stiff side, and by then didn't have the upfield speed to be a good blitzer (as he was in '86) and looked as though he lacked the footwork to ever be more than adequate in pass-coverage. But in 1987 Mark Brown continued to show that he came to play every down, was adept at weeding through the interference and seemed to be at the bottom of alot of piles. In 1988, Mark Brown had added the necessary bulk to be back inside as a good run-defender week after week, and displayed a take-no-prisoners style of play. He also covered the pass better than expected in 1988, and had the combination of speed & range to knife through traffic and get to the football. All this added another three years to his NFL career when he provided depth to what was quietly a heck of a Detroit Lion LB-unit from 1989-'91.
2:16 - 5:28, the Los Angeles Raiders at Washington Redskins Week 5 1983. It would be a preview of Super Bowl XVIII in January 1984 and one of the greatest regular season games in NFL history. enough said.
@@exchequerguy4037, u got it right. NFL Week 5 1983: Redskins 37, Raiders 35 - Marcus Allen didn't play in that game. Fast forward to SB XVIII, Raiders 38, Redskins 9 - Offense, defense and special teams all scored TDs for the Silver & Black which included Allen's 74 yard TD run and the radio call of Bill King describing Allen's 74 yard run.
Yes it was. Every few years, I check to see if anyone has uploaded this game and I still can't find it. edited: the 2nd half and NFL GOTW exist for this game.
Interesting parallel between this and 1980 season for Raiders. In 1980 regular season Raiders lost at Philly in by 3 points on a late score then crushed Eagles in the Super Bowl rematch. In ‘83, very similar regular season-Super Bowl scenario played out for Raiders against ‘Skins.

Former Cleveland Brown, Greg Pruitt, still dangerous when he got those kicks. Here with the Raiders, looks like he never lost a step. Chiefs finally ditch the clunky Dungard facemasks for Bike masks, looks like. Saints defense was nothing to take lightly. They were a bruising bunch. That pass rush and those linebackers were quick and opportunistic.
Their secondary was a mess until they essentially traded for Mike Haynes. Once he showed up the Raiders locked almost everyone down. Those tiny Washington receivers had no shot against him and Lester Hayes.
Pat Summerall's last year was 1975. It was also the last year of This Week in Pro Football/NFL. The highlight shows were cut to 30 minutes in '76. Narrated by Ted Jackson that year, then Harry Kalas starting in '77. Inside the NFL debuted in '78
Ironic that LSU alum David Woodley lost his starting job in the same place he played his last regular season game for the Bayou Bengals, a 24-13 loss to Tulane in 1979.

You’re right - the Seahawks victory over the Browns in Cleveland propelled them into the playoffs, eventually, as both teams finished 9-7.
“99 yards: Most teams would have tried to take little bites out of that yardage, but the Raiders aren’t like most teams”

NFL films always breaks out the goofy music when they show Saints highlights LOL
Right around this time NFL Films was putting together Best of the Football Follies Film and said the Saints were the ideal team for a city that gave birth to the Blues.
If E.D had spent his entire career with the Rams that all time rushing yard record would have been difficult for anyone to catch 😉
That's why Walter Payton later admitted he was so relieved that ED was traded away in 1987, Walter's retirement season.
I wish inside the NFL would go back this format

A Dan Marino vs Ken Stabler matchup. Interesting
Those Falcon uniforms are underrated and need to be brought back 🙌

One thing I'll never understand is the Chiefs picking Blackledge over Kelly and Marino, and then not even giving him a chance to start.
Todd couldn't even start in Pittsburgh where his father was an offensive assistant
I forgot about how great of an arm Lynn Dickey had. Unfortunately he was a sack waiting to happen, almost no mobility.
Jefferson Lofton Coffman! Gerry Ellis - Ivory !! Wow what a scary unit

Definitely didn't remember Stabler with New Orleans 🤔
How I wished as a kid that I could switch the places of the Redskins win over the Raiders and the disaster that was Super Bowl XVIII.
Calvin Mohammed would be a REDSKIN in 84 !!HAIL!!
Raiders would shut down Washington a few months later, kind of similar to the recent Kansas City Tampa Bay situation
Their secondary was a mess until they essentially traded for Mike Haynes. Once he showed up the Raiders locked almost everyone down. Those tiny Washington receivers had no shot against him and Lester Hayes.
Chiefs and cards 15 turnovers wow must be a record
The Chiefs/Cards game had 15 turnovers! The previous week, KC/Mia had 12. WTH was going on that yr?
Nice video, I like the commentary of Pat summerall. 👍
You should add some Steve sabol in the mix of your videos
