In his short NFL career, Christian Okoye was the ultimate power house at 265 lbs with abs. Mike Alstott was a one man demolition team, like straight of NFL Blitz video game. The dude had to have named his balls John Wayne and Chuck Norris.
They could’ve filled this up with a whole bunch of BEASTMODE and Adrian Peterson highlights and all I need is popcorn and a Sprite NFL throwback is awesome
@@vincentmichael7979 thts crazy bro how many u got and yea hell half the video was filled with AP and BEASTMODE anyway and they even went back to him as a Buffalo Bill, that’s how long he’s been nothing bt pure power it’s crazy both could still play till this day I believe if they wanted too
As a packer fan I remember playing y’all a hell of a lot more than it felt like we should’ve for not bein in the same division, when he played at least. N jacobs was who scared me.

Running back really is an artform... I just cannot believe how much the position has been devalued today. Good running backs are a beautiful thing to watch.
@@alexlopez4313This is what idiots believe SMH fact is Pete Caroll wanted Russ to win sbmvp and if that play succeeded it would have elevated his career
Im so bored of the pass-happy full-contact paddycakes NFL. I actually think that some team will load up on maulers on the O-line & go find a few 240+ backs to bludgeon a defense with. Bring back the ground & pound!
Really missing the golden era NFL of power runningbacks, ferocious defense, and QBs that were field generals and only threw 20 times per game. I'd give anything for the NFL to be like that again
He’s on pace to be a HoF, no question the second best behind Jim Brown already. Id argue the best in the league right now. He keeps this up for another 3-4 years, he will already be over 10,000
@@voiddcxi2630 Derrick Henry sucked for almost the first three years of his career. Chubb has been a beast ever since he came into the league. Dude also runs way more times a game.
@@JoeMun I really don’t care about how Henry’s first three years went considering that isn’t what I’m talking about. Also it’s a testament to Henry’s ability that he’s able to carry the ball so many times and still be successful.
Low key, one of the highlights I loved was the Terrell Owens block for Hearst. His blocking ability was superb for a WR. Always played with 100% effort, even if he didn’t get the ball and cried about it.
I still think Adrian Peterson’s run at 8:09 is one of the craziest things ever. He’s taking on the whole Bears defense while the rest of his team just stands around 😂
Thanks for the video NFL Throwback! Jerome Bettis (The Bus) was one of the hardest running backs for any defense to tackle. Does anyone happen to know any brawls that occurred in the NFL during the 1991, 1992, and 1993 regular seasons?
@@mbayediop1094 His wife shot him with a 12 gauge when he was trying to open the door to their house then shot him again in the back of the head. She ended up getting charged for manslaughter instead of murder which was why she did so little time.
This vid has everything. The GREATS, the forgotten FB bulldozers(Iornhead, Okoye, Czonka, Alstott). Lynch in EVERY UNI, Blount, Wheatley, Jacobs, Buss, Stephen Jackson. TO giving hella effort on Hearst 99 yd td. QBs (Cam/Elway), FOOTBALL IS AMAZING.
I was on the field during warmups in Seattle, 2006. I watched the RB drills on the STL side and at a healthy 6'2, 225 I felt puny standing by him. Then Marc Bulger walked by and I felt huge. Jackson was EXTREMELY agile and powerful. He needed to get away from Martz or they should have treated him like the power runner he truly was.
Mike Alstott might be my favorite player that didn't play for my team. He might be the best ever at squaring up 1 defender and absolutely trucking them.
Watching the clips from games played on that old astroturf is so nostalgic for me. Reminds me of RBs who rushed 30-35 times per game. Every game. Just a glorious era.
It's a great compilation, no doubt. But feels strange to only see one Riggins highlight, when he was literally nicknamed The Diesel because of his power runs.
I'd like to see more pre-merger throwback compilations of the greatest plays each year. Seeing those Jim Brown clips was very cool, and I have to think there's plenty of SportsCenter-worthy plays from the early days of televised NFL football.
(3:55) I don't follow the Eagles so I don't know who "95" is, but I'd just like to point out that after he gets trucked by Chubb, he stands up, chases Chubb down the field 40+ yards, and is the one who makes the tackle--saving the touchdown. So that clip should also be in any "way to show up for work" compilations you might be working on.
I was scrolling through YT and this vid popped up in my timeline, looked interesting so I gave it a watch. Who knew I'd spend 30 amazed at the power, strength and endurance of the runs. What an awesome video!

Alstott was the closest thing to a modern day John Riggins as I've ever seen.
Always a good day when throwback uploads.
Alstott was one of the scariest runners. 6’1/250 .
Bo jackson man and Derrick Henry rare speed and weight combo probably ever for the RB position
Botted ass comment

No Lion King - Barry Sanders!
Imagine owning Earl Campbell's jersey that was torn apart insane.
Shit like that was why I always bring up e. Campbell has a top running back
imagine having his helmet print on your chest
That might be the most recognizable jersey among football fans.
Imagine how many shredded Campbell jerseys have been sold as that jersey
His jersey exploded😂
Brandon Jacobs, Marshawn Lynch, and Mike Alstott boutta be on here like 50% of the time

Good combo!
Brandon Jacobs is a true team legend in NY, loved #27's running style
Also at 3:04 Never knew Pat Summerrall announced a game in '07!
I'll never forget when Brian Dawkins from the Eagles put Brandon Jacobs on his ass!
@@unrhuas a cowboys fan I remember this.. Brian Dawkins gave me literal nightmares for years
He was converted from LB. It was likely agility and speed that made it work. It’s good he got a ring.
When he wasn’t fumbling, man he was fun to watch. Because he was good for at least one of those huge bulldozer runs.

The stiff arm of destiny
Imagine modern DBs trying to tackle Mike Alstott? I think that back is coming back to modern football.

I actually think that some team will load up on maulers on the O-line & go find a few 240+ backs to bludgeon a defense with. Bring back the ground & pound!
It will, it will always be a constant flip-flop because once enough LB and DBs are small and faster a big dude will be able to crush dudes
No it won’t it’s officially a passing league
@DripVio you have a bad brain fron playing football please don't comment on anything again 🙄
@@jacoballen5538 I don't think it's going to every be how it was. The league wants a faster game with more scoring and less guys getting hurt.
Mike Alstott was shown in the video six times, yet the most infamous Alstott run - the goal line run against the Vikings in 1997 - isn't shown.
These runs are better...

Yes the totally passing league now and obvious biases against the defenses have weaken a golden product.
@rjam1974 you really can't tackle now or you risk a penalty. If a qb wants a first down, just throw it in the air. It will draw a PI.
Amen
You’d give anything?
Nobody does it better than throwback. That run by Barry Sanders against the bears was poetry in motion.
Almost forgot how exciting a RB driven league can be
I miss the days

Great day when there is 30+ minutes of NFL highlights from Throwback
that mike alstott hit at 0:59 was inSANE. that man was an anvil on legs
It’s like the looney tunes how he flattened the DB.
love how all of us football fans can just sit and watch this and truly appreciate it
Imagine how good Willis McGahee could have been if he hadn't been slowed by that horrific knee injury in college.
HOF
Imagine how sick Bo would have been if not for injury! Thats the one that stings the most!
@@jameshayes9849if Bo had played football only and not had the hip injury he'd have broken Payton's record before Emmitt did.
McGahee was the fastest RB I've ever seen in college prior to his knee injury. It definitely took off a step or 2.
McGahee was one of the best! I was hoping he would continue in the NFL but injuries bring down the best! Look at Bo. And Todd Gurley etc
Adrian Peterson in his prime was vicious. He hits the hole harder and faster than anyone I’ve ever seen.
With like 0.6-0.7 per cut quick angles man that sports science is unreal
Power. Pure, raw power.
I love it.
The beast mode era of Sewhawks offense was the greatest time to be a fan.
So many greats in the history of the NFL.
I can bet all theoretical money that Marshawn Lynch will be here at least 3 times.
And Derek Henry at least 4
Adrian Peterson too
You got your money's worth and thensome!
Bo at least 3 times , Earl Campbell at least 4 times and Marshawn at least 3 times!

"I don't know how to describe this, and I'd hate to try to tackle it." Perfect summation of Walter Payton's running style

@3:22 can we acknowledge how great of a blocker Staley (#74) was on this run? I'm not even a 49ers fan. That was amazing work.
Earl Campbell is that one guy who is always changing shirts b/c he ripping it during every task he does.

You guys should post the NFL Top 100 interviews pre-2015. Loved watching those when i was younger lol
