DAVE BUTZ NFL DEFENSIVE LINEMAN 1973-1988

[@teddyjam8134]

Rest in peace Mr. Butz. I'll always remember his son carrying his helmet after every game. Those were good times.

[@marklucca3044]

Dave Butz was a beast who didn't have to use steroids. He was just naturally a power house. He was an American legend.

[@davidlopez-rl4sh]

Finally a Dave butz highlight reel

[@martinjohnson1529]

Watched him and the Redskins from the UK in the 80s, so underrated as a player, RIP

[@DC8FD]

ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE REDSKINS!!

[@jeffreytenly9399]

I can't think of Mr. Butz without hearing John Madden calling him "BIG" Dave Butz during the games. In fact to me, it's become part of his name. R.I.P. Dave. You'll be missed, but never forgotten.

[@StewH08]

RIP DAVE BUTZ 65. Watching video's like this makes me Happy/Sad/and very Nostalgic.❤🙂😢🍺🍺🏈

[@stephanvassale3532]

Sad to hear of his passing. Butz was one of my all time favorite Redskins. Fond memories of yelling out "Butz" whenever he made a play. RIP

[@evancortez2]

Dave Butz recently fought a battle with covid and had to be hospitalized and hooked up to a ventilator according to John Riggins on the John Riggins show, but thankfully he recovered and is doing well. Dave Butz has always been one of the toughest men in the NFL and in life! Hail to Dave Butz! Hail to the Redskins!

[@nflxfiles]

Very glad Dave recovered and is doing better! Hail.

[@mitchellschleede569]

Dave Butz put Covid in the hospital on a ventilator after he was discharged.

[@bobbyyoung4243]

I'm going to miss the big fella ,and that beat up helmet. Rip HTTR

[@EvidenceandReasons]

Best scene was Butz tackling Dorsett from behind, and Dorsett couldn't believe Butz could catch up to him. Dorsett slammed the ball into the ground in disgust after he turned around to see who it was who caught him from behind, lol.

[@billyz5088]

DB was a beast on the field. I had the pleasure of seeing him play many times at old RFK stadium from the 70's into the 80's. Not many can play that position for that long. DB is an amazing athlete.

[@Hugging_Cactus]

should be hall of fame. he used to deal with two blockers on every play in an era when that was un heard of. Mountain Of A Man. and a Heart of Gold.

[@nflxfiles]

Well stated. Thank you for watching.

[@carldavis7309]

A huge part of my childhood was watching the Redskins with my dad who loved Dave Butz. I'll always remember the great times we had watching those games. Thanks Dave for being a part of it. RIP sir.

[@willw1127]

RIP Dave Butz. 😢 Thank you for all of the great football memories. HTTR!!!

[@bmoredeplorable5152]

One of the great and underrated defensive tackles to play in the NFL; he was also a first-team All-Pro in the quality human being department. May God bless and keep Big Dave Butz - RIP.....

[@grandfajaarmani3470]

I had the pleasure of meeting him a few years after he retired. He then was wearing his SB XXII ring on his middle finger, as he dropped weight to about 260. He told me that he took up carving duck decoys in order to stave off arthritis in his hands.

[@alexisalejandro832]

Dave Butz...thanks for the moments. Hail to the Redskins!

[@robertmecionis8061]

Giants fan….. Butz killed us all the time

[@scottfrazier6077]

Excellent summary of his career! Very much needed not to forget a Redskin icon! #65 lives again

[@scootertrash911]

How he flew into the pile of bodies and came out with the ball carrier was pretty amazing.

[@mikebaird8648]

This was a well put together video of Dave as well as classy. Dave passed on today, he was a classy man. Thank's for all the memories Dave. Condolences to his family...🙏

[@nflxfiles]

Very much appreciate you saying so. Thank you for watching. RIP Dave Butz.

[@mistascott007]

A key piece of a once proud franchise. Oh those were the days.

[@davidm1979]

He was one of the best run stoppers in the NFL during his playing career. He was quick for a guy 300+ pounds.

[@omni-man4624]

Brings back fond memories....My Redskins gone...

[@hammer2596]

Tremendous athlete with heart!

[@chrisperdue5109]

Back in the good old days

[@pretorious700]

Could not have been 2 more different guys than Dave and Dexter. But man, they played together like they were twins.

[@nflxfiles]

Yes. IMHO Butz, Grant, Manley, Mann best front 4 of all-time...no disrespect to Steel Curtain or Fearsome Foursome. Thank you for watching

[@kevinpayton2664]

The Redskin defense of the 1980's was a beast.

[@brianbachmeier34]

Love the video! How about another Redskins legend, Monte Coleman? He needs a highlight video too.

[@nflxfiles]

Thank you for watching, i'm glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, Monte in the queue, for sure. Great call. Lost lots of my work recently or he'd prob already be up. Grant, Olkewicz, Mann, Dexter, Marshall many others too. Thanks again. Hail.

[@brianbachmeier34]

@@nflxfiles Sounds good! I appreciate it.

[@zyxwut321]

RIP to Dave Butz and condolences to his family. Spooky to see that famous battle-scarred helmet of his and consider the impacts it may have had in his later life. I hope he lived well and peacefully.

[@mikerusso4001]

They don’t make football plays like that anymore..A great player And I am a Pittsburgh Steeler fan

[@juanharrison691]

Dave Butz is a sure fire first ballot NFL Hall of Famer. One of the greatest DL in the history of the league....damn shame the Hall hasn't honored him yet. And the Hall owes Joe Jacoby a call as well...damn shame these all time greats continue to be snubbed.

[@KnockOffBeingFat]

It takes Idiots to snub Great Players who never even played real football.

[@bobbyyoung4243]

No doubt about it.💯

[@icouldntthinkofaname.1188]

Does anybody remember how beat up his football helmet was? That helmet looked like it was in some serious battles!

[@tbus809]

Contrary to what's going on now with our defense, Big Dave and Grant is the measuring stick in our history for inside duo and individuals. Dave will always be my favorite Tackle of all time. He didn't get enough notoriety but the memories.... he's a HOF'er in my book.

[@65TossTrap]

The game up in New England 1978 is illustrative of what Butz could do. One minute to go. New England ahead and running the ball to kill the clock. They are on their own 30. Butz breaks through the line. Strips the ball. Dusek recovers and scores the winning TD.

[@jaymoon5906]

It’s simply clear he’s the wrong color if he wasn’t he’d be in allready

[@71superbee39]

Riggo was the Diesel.... Joe Jacoby the Bulldozer and Dave Butz was the Wrecking Ball... HTTR!

[@kamilebrahimoff3589]

What a player was Dave Butz. That Washington team had Hall of Fame type of players on offense and defense. RIP Dave Butz

[@Firerose101]

His daughter Kiffin and I were good friends in high school. I could put two fingers in his superbowl rings. RIP

[@nflxfiles]

That's amazing. Awesome you got to try on his rings. Condolences to all his friends & family. RIP. Appreciate you watching & commenting.

[@mauricepowers1074]

I’m still good friends with Jason. I used to hang out and sleep over at the Butz house all the time. You are right, I could get a thumb and a index in the ring😂😂😂

[@bobbarber5104]

Praise God! Will be praying for him!!! Thanks diesel for the info!

[@cooldude2245]

Amazing player back in the day

[@Steven-z1i1o]

As a cowboy fan, Dave butz was special, underrated, that's one player on an apposing team that I really liked.

[@dimitripapaloizos8545]

RIP #65 you are a Legend

[@johnp388]

I can't remember the team the Skins where playing against. I'm wanting to say Detroit. Anyway, at the snap, Butz got great penetration into the backfield. The QB was handing off to the RB. Butz grab a hold of both the QB and the RB and tackled them both!!!

[@royw-g3120]

Just a giant bastard . Loved him.

[@davanmani556]

He is the only big guy I know who could pick up a running back by his ankles.

[@C-100Warfareent]

Prayers out to the Butz family this one hurts 💔🙏🏾

[@goldenwest70]

The greatest R.I.P

Dave Butz helmet looks like a used car. - Pat Summerall

[@mikefrandsen6379]

Butz should be in the Hall of Fame. Say our name: Redskins!

[@garyfunderburk1281]

Hail to Butz

[@lab1042]

4:03 That would be a penalty today (horse collar)! Half the distance to the goal!

[@KnockOffBeingFat]

Well its NOT football today!

[@MarkHermann-u5p]

George. Allen. Hit. The. Jackpot. With. Butz

[@sandyboggs8099]

you didt run up the middle with butz there should be in hof

[@karlcooper8460]

I didn't know he was a cardinal.

[@outoftheirskulls5676]

All I can say is a lot of offensive players, should be thankful Butz wasn't an asshole like Lyle Martin Alzado. Butz could have ended a bunch of careers,

[@chrisslaughter5552]

X files who was the best center in Washington History Len Hauss?

[@nflxfiles]

I'd say so. Followed by Bostic. Do you agree?

[@chrisslaughter5552]

@@nflxfiles maybe even but then again the Hogs were Legendary i dont think Washington had a great line before the Hogs

[@johnliberty3647]

Any notice how fast Butz was to wrap up legs and feet during his tackles. When I stopped watching football there was a lot less of that instinctive wrapping up the legs during a tackle. Everyone had the instinct to make a big hit though. I got sick of the big hits because players would celebrate them even after the offense got the first down. Game changed too much, had to stop watching.

[@thetruth5479]

When Jack Kent Cooke Owned the Redskins it was a class act!!!! Dont know why he didnt leave the team to his Son!!! Now look at the Team Sexual Predator owner harrassing the Chearleaders!!! Snyder needs to be locked the fuck up!!!

[@PurpleImpactStrategies]

It was other ppl not s Snyder

[@tonygonzalez6908]

As good as our D-tackles Payne and Allen are, they are not Dave Butz. Butz consistently faced double and sometimes triple teams and beat them. Grant often faced double teams and beat them. They should study tapes of Butz and Grant and how they dominated the line of scrimmage. You didn't run up the middle.

[@rberka555]

I hope it wasn't the #ClotShot

[@WallaceWellons]

RIP 🙏 HE DAM BELONG IN THE HOF .THE STUD

[@tonyrobinson8050]

RIP Bruno, they don't make men mountains that didn't lift weights, that nobody could block anymore. Dave Butz was the giant that was a part of one of the greatest D Lines in NFL football history. I'm a Redskins, WFT, Commanders fan and the only close second I see is the Eagles with Fletcher Cox.
