cool. it was a magical time to be a Raiders fan in the 70's. Unlike today, where they are popular all over the country, they were the most hated team then for their rough play and bending of the rules such as wide receivers and cornerbacks using a tree sap like substance on their hands to get an advantage at catching the ball, offensive lineman and linebackers using plaster casts underneath their arm pads and finding ways to commit penalties without the referees seeing them do it. Their motto in the 70's was, "if you are not cheating, you are not trying".

Man, the Raiders, Steelers, Cowboys of the 70s, what more can you ask.

[@stevenpeyton7476]

I was a born and raised Cowboys fan, but I always loved these Raiders -- they were everything that the Cowboys weren't. Both teams were masters at marketing an image the Raiders were the nasty dredges of the NFL, and the Cowboys were "America's Team".

[@ricardobjj24]

Jack Tatum will forever be my favorite Raider of all time

[@lyrics2challenged]

Between 68-74 beast. 71-74 Beastier. But the thing people forget about is the O line (the beastliness I was referring to) 1971 Raiders? 5 FUTURE HOF'ers and at least 4 were immortal HOF'ers on one line... Ooh it was a scary sight for any defense period. Possibly even their own

[@clintturner4995]

If Brady played against teams like this from the 70's he would as Jack Lambert said "would have had to wear a dress." LOL!

[@MrOccyc]

He wouldn’t have lasted past his early thirties. The game has evolved to a glorified flag football league.

We need to instill this into Our Current Raiders Defense. But don't do that to Patrick Mahomes, you'll get penalized 15 yards for Roughing the Passer.

[@MrBlack-ze6hw]

In the 60's the Raiders defense had a killer nickname "The 11 Angry Men" which I think should be readopted.

[@kevinharrissr5255]

Jack Tatum. They call him the assassin.

[@rupertmay793]

Back when not only football was real but MEN WERE REAL

[@bconigliaro]

George Atkinson is my all-time strong safety. He was listed at 180 but looked a good deal lighter going up against tight ends. Tatum hit hard but in my memory, Atkinson hit harder.

[@6400az]

No, Tatum hit harder. Atkinson was dirtier.

[@smd3514]

Wish raiders defense were this good today

[@robertbigelow1338]

Back when men where men. Brady gets slapped in the helmet and he starts whining.

[@brianlyle4276]

They were brutal. Remember as a kid, you feared for your team when they played the Oakland Raiders

[@johncorley8751]

Weren't they one of the fastest teams in the NFL at the time? Also, what happened to the motto 'Speed Kills'?

[@oldschoolruler]

The modern vertical, or 'West Coast', offense is rooted in the Raider philosophy. "Most teams operate under the thought that, they will take what the defense gives them. We have a different philosophy...we take what we want." - Al Davis

[@wisdom7311]

Yeah Cliff Branch I believe was the fastest man in the entire NFL at that time and was one of the best receivers, won 2 Superbowls! Willie Brown was another fast guy but he was on the Defensive Side of the ball

[@jeremythompson9122]

Cliff Branch retired

[@jeremythompson9122]

@@wisdom7311 Cliff Branch was on all 3 Super Bowl winning teams. So we're Ted Hendricks, Dave Dalby, and Ray Guy. Might've been some others too but I can't remember. Branch and Hendricks were the two main guys that were on all 3 teams

It should be noted that Sammy White held onto the ball.
