His off the ball quickness is insane

I've also seen videos of Jack Lambert, Steelers MLB, tackling Campbell by himself.

That’s true,every Steelers player that I I have ever heard talk has said that Joe Greene was the reason for the dynasty starting, anybody who knows football knows that!!!!

Well, you can’t deny that they had some other great pieces too. Franco Harris was an all time great along with Jack Lambert and Mel Blount which alone probably would of gotten them the 4 Super Bowls in the 70s

@@ultimatecoasterremakes5500 No.one objective, denys that , but again the primary reason ,the psychological mindset that embodied the unconquerable spirit those SB teams had derived from Joe Greene ,period . He made them believe ,he held them accountable he chastised those who were rebellious he firmly put his foot down literally at times on those who dissented ,his presence impacted the entire team . Bradshaw's biggest vice at times even as a Probowl, All Pro, SB winning QB was his penchant for ints ,Franco is tied with Dorsett for most career fumbles as a RB with 99 , in other words the Steelers were going to turn the ball over in abundance , so that Steelers defense anchored by Joe Greene had to nulify the excessive turnovers the Steelers offense routinely committed .Joe Greene forced every other Steelers front 7 member to have too encounter only one blocker sometimes none ,why ? Because Greene was occupying two blockers ,sometimes three ,he sacrificed individual stats like sacks to improve his teams chances for victory .Inthe storied Vikings purple people defensive scheme in which the Defensive lineman agressively rushed up field attacking the QB first ,Joe Greene would have easily collected 100 QB sacks . Joe Greene was the most important Steelers player during that dynasty run ,and in team history .His teammate Andy Russell stated Joe Greene was the player of the 70's decade , a youtube page on players of the decades during the SB era also stated this . Nuff said .

@@ultimatecoasterremakes5500 Don’t forget Jack Ham too please 🙏

I mean they are 7-0

It's "Here we go Steelers!".

I’m from Philly so eagles were my team until I was 8 and I read about joe greene after that I’ve been a Steelers fan since

@Philly215 I'm a life long Dallas Cowboys Fan 🤠 💙 🤪

If you were sweatin those dirty Raiders, piling on, etc, we don't want you so stay put, fella. Preciate you, a lifelong supporter lmfaoooooooo!!! FOH🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣#NoFairweatherFansNeeded🖤💛🖤

Texas blood vs Texas blood.

And dont forget the Assasin Jack Tatum he rocked Earl Campbell

@@Lcky-gu2gi Earl stilled scored the td after obsorbing the hit .

Huh? This video is about Joe Greene. One might observe that Greene has 4 Super Bowl rings as a player (2 more as a coach). Earl Campbell has none.

donnie shell blasted him solo...

No sir. That description goes to oj Simpson

Yeah everyone thinks of the nickname and just imagines some big huge monster and while he was obviously strong it’s his quickness that made him one of the best of all time.

He played high. If he played that way in this day in time he’d be pushed into the end zone

​​@@HotSauce-mn1mpOnly on occasion like most dts did he play upright ,he possessed a elite football IQ , and transcended fundamentals ,he made adjustments based upon circumstances ,his unique athleticism during his prime years before the debilitating pince nerve in 75 reduced his agility and strength ,his arsenal was simply boundless . Even during the later stages during his pinced neck nerve injury he was still very good ,no longer great ,no one still detailed him because of his high football IQ ,and excellent fundamentals . Great players historically would dominate in any era if they had access to the enhanced diet,medicine , equipment, medical surgery procedure of athletes in latter eras . Imagine Mean Joe Greene ,Bob Lily , Alan Page ,Randy White ,Manny Fernandez , Ernie Holmes with those improved amenities at 300 lbs.

@@HaroldMccoy-vv4lt bro I’m no gen z I have played a long time and I’m not being some typical keyboard guy.

Not crazy at all. What he did was called form tackling. Not like today's players looking for the highlight reel big hit. Youi wanna teach a kid how to tackle properly, watch Joe Greene play,

Mean Joe had a lot of respect for the game. His sportsmanship was only second to his talent.

Just like Lawrence Taylor

This assumes those who make big hits have no character.

​@@Mster_Jalso Reggie White as well

Definitely not in all of sports but no doubt best in football.

@@mtn7836 All of sports.

@@jnyfumare No not all sports you stupid yank.

@@Joe-ki7og Monkey Island doesn't have proper sport!! YES all sports!

They have to make 3 list of greatest steelers of all times, when talking about the steel curtain defense. They were bad.

Too bad today’s players don’t act the same way.

All the great d tackles had that uncanny sense of timing at the snap. Joe Greene, Reggie White, Warren Sapp all of rm

You’re implying Joe Greene wasn’t involved in antics and on field bullshit?

@@occamsox5331 No ,he's applying that Joe's actions were from emotional frustration at his team being denied a chance to capture a win ,via opposing teams offensive lineman not being penalized by the officials for blatantly holding him, his teammates being pummeled ( Dick Butkus blindsided hit on LC GreenWood on special teams) thus he became the teams avenger ,challenging a reluctant Butkus to a fisticuffs and then spitting in Butkus face ,who smartly retreaded to his own teams sideline . That's a big difference ,two different galaxy's in comparison to the selfish, narcissistic , antagonistic,juvenile , betamale practices of the current tik,tok Steeler players ,who's antics only motivate the opposition more then usual ( at Bengals week 15 ) to not only defeat ,but humble the Steelers and the attention seeking player .Content and context are totally different . Everything Joe Greene did was to help the Steelers achieve success ,his famous soda commercial in 1979 had fostered no ill intentions of lockeroom division ,created a calling call for opposing teams to be invested even more then usual motivation to beat the Steelers .The commercials presentation wasn't buffoonish ,a plea for excessive attention ,the actual commerical format was introduced to Joe Greene ,he didn't go searching for it . If he made a comment pertaining to a upcoming opponent that had vitriol applied ,it was to instill fear and respect from the opposing opponent ,and impose the mindset to his teammates nothing but their obsolute best as a Steeler will be expected that upcoming game day . There is nothing comparable about Joe Greene and this current Steelers antics .Two different contexts .When Joe Greene became team captain he administered forcing himself to be less combustible in order to embody a less emotional, more accountable , 3 dimisional thinking ,critical thinking ,problem solver . Being a player everyone now looked to for guidance mandated he had more responsibilities on his plate ,he could only go to the ole dark side occasionally ,not consistently . Joe Greene embodied leadership ,sacrifice , accountability , consistent elite performance for 98% of his career . Ego ,attitude ,anger ,with a touch of humility . He was a Leader ,Ju,Ju ,and the rest of his tik tok teamsters are merely veterans .Big Difference .

@@haroldmccoy6748, holy fucking balls? No one is going to read whatever that is. There’s no need to write a whole book report, documentary, and college essay about showboating.

What’s wrong with celebrating after making a good play? The answer is nothing.

@@Eyedonutno A boy celebrates after a good play. A man celebrates after he wins.

And you Know the QB that he sacked, right?! Eli/Peyton daddy!

@@harrymiram6621 of course. Good ol Archie.

@@chuckfinley6747...Casual students of the modern NFL game, may only casually know who Archie is but TRUE students of NFL History knows, as the saying goes,..."The Rest of the Story!"-lol

@@harrymiram6621 Archie was truly underrated in my opinion. He played on some awful Saints teams but still managed to have a great career. Plus his college career at Ole Miss was phenomenal.

@@chuckfinley6747...Definitely For Sure!

Isn’t football such a simple game? I know coaches like to make themselves look like they are so intelligent, but such a simple game really, find the guy with the ball and you nail em

​@@busydem6161its not though. Teams block differently, run different sets, different plays. For Joe to have someone holding him WHILE the runningback is cutting him, and just shove the lineman aside while jumping over the runningback, is insane.

Not even a sliver of being close

@@joshpitts7256 they do as good as they can in this sugar coated league, but guess what this isn’t the 70’s where you can do what you want. Of course the 70s Steelers were the best in that “era”. Still Pittsburgh will still live and die on defenses. Same reason why our QB situation is terrible right now

"Steel Curtain"

Where did you see encroachment at?

@@foopgoop8260 Around the 1:50 mark joe green is nearly kissing the center several times that's encroachment .. I guess the referees were scared of mean Joe green also to call it.
