@VampireYoshi No he wouldnt. No only are the players WAY bigger,faster,and stronger but the game is WAY faster. For example Maurice Jones Drew can bench press 400lbs and Lambert didnt lift weights plus he smoked. Get the picture? If he was too small then, what makes you think he'll have a chance now and days? There were no Vernon Davis, Jake Long, or Brandon Jacobs of that era. Even college players are breaking combine records.
@hitek9wittafulclip The biggest differences would be with the defensive and offensive lineman as the size differences are far more noticeable. Linebackers and defensive backs from the 70's could probably play in today's league. Worst case, they'd have to spend an offseason putting on a little weight, but it wouldn't be anything outrageous.
@hitek9wittafulclip On the other hand, I'd like to see how the quarterbacks and receivers of today would fare playing in 70's when the rules wouldn't favor them like they do today. I wonder how successful Brady, Manning, Brees and company would be when they don't draw flags for defenders looking at them the wrong way and when their receivers are being beaten up all the way down the field.
@akitaman101 Hmmm oh you mad? I provided facts look them up while you make some lame immature comments about metrosexuals and transexuals,so you have no credibility. When you want to talk Football, then maybe just maybe we can talk. Until STFU!
@ke1mc2 yea a 220Lb soaking wet linebacker taking on huge backs like Stephen Jackson, Brandon Jacobs, Micheal Turner, Peyton Hillis,etc and 320Lb plus linemen. Get the f*ck out of here with that. Not to mention we have receivers today that are 230,240 plus. Hell some cornerbacks are 220.

@hitek9wittafulclip You do know that back even in his own day, Lambert was stated to be too small to effectively play the inside linebacker spot, don't you? Offensive linemen that big are a bit slower, last I checked, too. Put something like a 46 set, TNT-front against them, and you'd be amazed at...or perhaps simply ignore...how quickly interior pressure can be brought from the LB position. Lambert would still be a dominant player. Deal with it.
Shut the fuck up twit! Great, great athletes in past era's would still be great in today's era, or any era. Today's sports science and professional year round training methods, along with modern day eating and coaching regimes... It would have turned a "Jack Lambert" type player "of old", and turned them into a a modern day destroyer of today. Just bigger and faster. Some fool in future like yourself will say the same thing about the "Ray Lewis's of today". TWIT!!
@hitek9wittafulclip are u aware, missy, that JL is in the hall of fame? or were out getting fitted for your prom dress that day? your comment is incomprehensibly stupid, even for a metrosexual pre-op transexual such as yourself
@hitek9wittafulclip no player from the 70's would start in today's nfl. im sure today's players will be slow compared to the players of the future too. i don't really know what your point is.
@apishion youre right i forgot crack was a performance enhancing drug, if anything his drug use shows that he is even more of an animal because he could destroy his body and still run circles around people
He was light for an LB even back then, but if you watch his tackles, he uses his height for leverage and explodes thru the tackle, so he seemed about 30lbs heavier
don't remember him getting run over by bigger guys
like Russell said, he musta had great technique to pull that off being so close to 200
my Browns fan memory of him that epitomized him for me was late-hitting B. Sipe RIGHT ON THE BROWNS SIDELINE
The bench stomped him good, but he didn't seem to care
@skatenutsack LT is the most overrated linebacker ever. He's not even top ten when it comes to best linebackers of all time. Nitschke, Butkus, Schmidt, Lambert, Ham, Gradishar, Lewis - all off the top of my head are easily better than him and if I wanted to take the time and look into it more I could definitely find more. LT was just a pass rusher and he wasn't even the best at that. He's nowhere near the top of the list for sacks by a LB Kevin Greene has like 40 more than him I believe.
@doopeyduk That's why I think the most overlooked is Gradishar. Led the NFL in tackles for an entire decade and currently has the most tackles of all time but he's not in the Hall. It's a shame.
Though I don't care much for the Steelers, Jack Lambert played football the way it was meant to be played; ruggedly, tough, intelligently, and with great competitive spirit. Lambert wasn't the best run-stuffing linebacker ever, the best coverage linebacker, or the best blitzing linebacker, but he was so good at all of those skills that only a few other linebackers deserve to be considered on his level. He was a complete football player. He came to play every week.
@RAV52 Well you got a good point/argument.I wore #58 from pop warner through HS. Was Defensive Capt EVERY year ans was a Lambert Clone!! i watchedALL he did and , beind quite small for a MLB, i made up for in being Mean and loud!(and my hair was and still is very long) Tuck it into your jersey and hair grabbing never happenned,1'st -i was too quick to let anyone get by me.Hamm was a friggin BRILLIANT OLB! and i Loved his pass defense!! Together-lookout! offense's Worst NIGHTMARE!!! '78 team BEST
@familybc146 This might be a dumb question,but how are you able to type 16th ,8th,1/4 notes on the screen? a special keyboard or is there a way to use a code to make a regular keyboard be able to do that. it would help me quite a bit as a musician! if you can lemme know please!
Jack Lambert was the Captain of the Steel-Curtain. The Steelers were and always will be a great NFL team. Better then the Patriots. The Mid-1960's and 1970's were the Steelers NFL Decade to take over. They were dominate in every way.
This is an awesome video! Thanks for posting it!! I can't wait to get my vintage #58 Lambert jersey. He was my favorite player on my favorite team, and I admire #58's intensity and skills.
WTF happened to the Pride, Respect, Unity, and sheer desire for greatness that we had in America in the 70's? Music, movies, sports, you name it. I wouldn't give a rat if you took all of the technology of today away, because back then America had heart!
dick butkus was the most bad ass linebacker then will ever be in the history of the game he bit people punched people in piles threatened em scared the living hell out of em he was super fast he play with broken limbs he was just soooooo bad ass jack lamber is second to dick butkus
@violator79 Bro if you see the regular broadcast.it is going to commercial and we miss it untill after the break. Then we see him toss the little cowgirl! He came close to being kicked out of game--he argues"you CANT take me out of the super bowl, besides look what Harris did!! I wore #58 and played MLB in a 4-3 back in H.S. Too bad i am only 5'9",short even then, but i was Defensive captain 3 yrsin a row.Mr.Lambert fueled my rage,and Friday nights ,i became Count Dracula!
what a great defense, they traded glenn edwards so donny shell could play. russle, ham and lambert the backups were almost as good. throw in the steel curtain, oh don't forget mel blount. and mike wagner wasn't a creampuff either. wow!!!!
Lambert, my son's middle name on his birth certificate. God bless Jack Lambert and his lunatics. Household name in our house. Go Pens, game 7 tonight.
I played middle linebacker from pee-wees to varsity--my no. was 58 and i did everything i could to look ,hit ,snarl,scream,kick youwhen you were pummeledby me--I did the intimidating! never tackled with my helmet -or bump into backs--i wrapped em up with my arms-after you tasted my shoulders--i could only wish to have been as good as my football idol-Mr.Jack Lambert-a.k.a. DRACULA!!!!!!
I can't get over how great he was and how thin he looked. He wasn't the over muscled meat heads of today. His game was one of technique and a true understanding of the game....
Out of curiosity........what are the odds of the Steelers (or any other team, for that matter), drafting another player with Lamberts' heart, intensity & courage? Damn!.....I have these visions of him playing today with Troy Polamalu & James Harrison.....SCARY! What team on Gods' earth could screw with the "Black & Gold" then???
Keep in mind power equals force times velocity. Lambert was quick and he was also a great student of the game. He could play in todays NFL. Andy Russell is correct. Lambert was every bit as effective as Butkus and Nitschke.
Hmm, power = F*V? Nothing I remember from physics. Momentum = Mass * Velocity, also, Kinetic Energy = ½M*V**2, which is measure of work. Both rely heavily on MASS.
Little side note. One more thing when you see this clip of Lambert against the Cowboys in 1982 The Steelers moved him out of the MLB spot, and he played in a 3-4 later in his career, with #56 Robin Cole as the other ILB, so the Steelers took some freedom we use to seeing with Lambert as a MLB away, when Chuck Noll switched the D over.
On average Lambert probably had 100 or more tackles a season throughout his career with Steelers. Also no one knows if Lambert could play in this era, but with his weight back in the day, they said the same thing of him competeing with them. You can't never measure the heart. How many people at 5 8, when he was first drafted, but fast, knew Darrell Green was gonna be a Hall of Famer? Walter Peyton, could he play in this era? Can't measure the Heart.
I grew up in a era I got see good to great MLB's, the Monte Johnson, Bill Bergy, Mike Curtis, Willie Lanier, Nick Bonticonti, Jack Pardee, a Jeff Siemon in minnesota, Bob Breuning in Dallas, Randy Gradishar in Denver, (even though he was in a 3-4)Lambert in his era, held his own pretty good against those guys.
There might have been some linebackers who played the run as good as Lambert or better, but few MLB's can compare to Lambert in pass coverage. Not only he had range in playing the run but also in pass coverage. Look at his total of interceptions by a MLB, i bet his stats are up there. Lambert a 9 time probowler was good, no. make that DAYUM GOOD.
......you don't even know these guys. night train used to hit guys so hard, they were carried off the field on stretchers. ronnie lott speaks for itself, devastating open field tackler. a 235lb back is exactly what he would be happy plowing into......you don't know shit....butkus was 30lbs heavier than jack and you think thats enough to give him this big edge over jack ........you said earlier i shot myself in the foot.....it's quite clear to everyone, you don't know what the facts are...at all!
any game jack played against houston. thats what bobby27 was talking about. earl campbell was 5-11, 232 lbs. and is on the top 10 running backs of all time!!! and if you look up the hardest hitters site jack is on the list right in the middle of all those guys i mentioned.......i think i got it finally..you're a butkus fan and you're not old enough to have seen games played in the 70's and early 80's. other wise you wouldn't have said there's no footage!?! most of the guys on the list below.....
bootsie....type in nfl's hardest hitting backs in history, night train lane 6-1,194lbs..donnie shell 5-11,190lbs..chuck cecil 6-0,185lbs,..hardy brown 6-1,193lbs..jack tatum 5-10,200lbs,..andre waters 5-11,200lbs,..ronnie lott 6-0,200lbs,..steve atwater 6-3,220lbs,..john lynch 6-2,220lbs....anyone of these guys can play in todays games with no problem!!!!!!!
Earl Campbell?? i don't know bobby27 sounds like a whimpy guy to me. just because you have thighs that measured almost 30 inches around and leg pressed 600lbs!!...i don't know ....this bootsiebanty in his underpantie doesn't think so........
the first that he stops is #63 Larry Cole DT 6-5, 252lbs....and still feels he needs to give a shot to #62 John Fitzgerald C 6-5, 255lbs....you still think those backs you mentioned would worry about jack when he was at full tilt in the 76 season???!!!!....yeah good luck with that............
You shoot yourself in the foot with this and don't even realize it. Hitting lumbering linemen is one thing, holding up to a head-on with a 235-lb back of today with legs churning is another. He was aggressive, no doubt about it, but the mass just isn't there. Aggression only goes so far.
Lambert went up against Earl Campbell, Pete Johnson, John Riggins, to name a few--all big backs (and who was more punishing of a back than Campbell) and did just fine against them.
Any footage of Lambert going head-to-head with a big back? Didn't think so. A LB at barely over 200 lb. can't do a whole lot in that dept. He was quick and aggressive, but he was no Butkus. Butkus would have no problem in today's game. Lambert might make a 2nd or 3rd string slow safety today.
Plenty of footage. check out #58 planting 6-2, 245 lb. Bobby Clark at 1:10 in on youtube '76 Steelers "greatest defense ever." also '75 highlight film of Lambert doing the same to 6-2., 230 lb John Riggins; ; 78 film to Earl Campbell; Plenty of footage if you know football. Lambert's bio on the Hall of fame site:
bootsiebanty.....i checked your site..there's no age...so i'm not sure if you ever watched jack play, but 9 comments back you said..'would've got his bell rung...same with a head on with Hershel'....now try and follow this (guys like you need to be led by the nose, or they just don't get it)....start the video here from the beginning....at the 10 sec. point look closely at the screen...keep playing it over and over until it finally dawns on you who those players are....(continued)
The statement expressed in this video "quarterback of the steel curtain" perfectly summed up Jacks role with the Steelers. In my ever-so-humble-opinion, the Pittsburgh Steeler defense of the 70's consisted of the GREATEST collection of talent ever assembled on one team, in the entire history of the NFL. Mr. Lambert was the "glue" that held it all together! God bless the "Black & Gold".
I suspect Lambert would've got his bell rung. Same with a head-on with a Hershel Walker, Ricky Williams or even an Eddgerin James. It doesn't matter how much aggression and desire to prove something there is, the truth is Lambert just didn't have the mass to measure up to these guys at full throttle.
I doubt it, considering the guys Lambert took on. Dont even try to say that the running backs now are tougher, they arent. Remember, football was actually a tougher game back in the 70s. Lambert in his prime could kick ass against anybody.
Jack, I came all the way from Mexico to see you. Lol!!!!!!!!

@violator79 Bro if you see the regular broadcast.it is going to commercial and we miss it untill after the break. Then we see him toss the little cowgirl! He came close to being kicked out of game--he argues"you CANT take me out of the super bowl, besides look what Harris did!! I wore #58 and played MLB in a 4-3 back in H.S. Too bad i am only 5'9",short even then, but i was Defensive captain 3 yrsin a row.Mr.Lambert fueled my rage,and Friday nights ,i became Count Dracula!

From Jack Lambert, to Greg Lloyd, to James Harrison -- the tradition of bad ass linebackers keeps going for the Steelers.
Six time champs...and still not done yet. Learn to live with it, people cause our Steelers are going to keep on coming. WOOO!

Keep in mind power equals force times velocity. Lambert was quick and he was also a great student of the game. He could play in todays NFL. Andy Russell is correct. Lambert was every bit as effective as Butkus and Nitschke.
solidworksinventor 2 years ago
Hmm, power = F*V? Nothing I remember from physics. Momentum = Mass * Velocity, also, Kinetic Energy = ½M*V**2, which is measure of work. Both rely heavily on MASS.

Little side note. One more thing when you see this clip of Lambert against the Cowboys in 1982 The Steelers moved him out of the MLB spot, and he played in a 3-4 later in his career, with #56 Robin Cole as the other ILB, so the Steelers took some freedom we use to seeing with Lambert as a MLB away, when Chuck Noll switched the D over.
snoopydog48us 2 years ago
On average Lambert probably had 100 or more tackles a season throughout his career with Steelers. Also no one knows if Lambert could play in this era, but with his weight back in the day, they said the same thing of him competeing with them. You can't never measure the heart. How many people at 5 8, when he was first drafted, but fast, knew Darrell Green was gonna be a Hall of Famer? Walter Peyton, could he play in this era? Can't measure the Heart.
snoopydog48us 2 years ago
I grew up in a era I got see good to great MLB's, the Monte Johnson, Bill Bergy, Mike Curtis, Willie Lanier, Nick Bonticonti, Jack Pardee, a Jeff Siemon in minnesota, Bob Breuning in Dallas, Randy Gradishar in Denver, (even though he was in a 3-4)Lambert in his era, held his own pretty good against those guys.
snoopydog48us 2 years ago
There might have been some linebackers who played the run as good as Lambert or better, but few MLB's can compare to Lambert in pass coverage. Not only he had range in playing the run but also in pass coverage. Look at his total of interceptions by a MLB, i bet his stats are up there. Lambert a 9 time probowler was good, no. make that DAYUM GOOD.

any game jack played against houston. thats what bobby27 was talking about. earl campbell was 5-11, 232 lbs. and is on the top 10 running backs of all time!!! and if you look up the hardest hitters site jack is on the list right in the middle of all those guys i mentioned.......i think i got it finally..you're a butkus fan and you're not old enough to have seen games played in the 70's and early 80's. other wise you wouldn't have said there's no footage!?! most of the guys on the list below.....

Earl Campbell?? i don't know bobby27 sounds like a whimpy guy to me. just because you have thighs that measured almost 30 inches around and leg pressed 600lbs!!...i don't know ....this bootsiebanty in his underpantie doesn't think so........
motogpracebikes 2 years ago
the first that he stops is #63 Larry Cole DT 6-5, 252lbs....and still feels he needs to give a shot to #62 John Fitzgerald C 6-5, 255lbs....you still think those backs you mentioned would worry about jack when he was at full tilt in the 76 season???!!!!....yeah good luck with that............
motogpracebikes 2 years ago
You shoot yourself in the foot with this and don't even realize it. Hitting lumbering linemen is one thing, holding up to a head-on with a 235-lb back of today with legs churning is another. He was aggressive, no doubt about it, but the mass just isn't there. Aggression only goes so far.
bootsiebanty 2 years ago
Lambert went up against Earl Campbell, Pete Johnson, John Riggins, to name a few--all big backs (and who was more punishing of a back than Campbell) and did just fine against them.
bobbyp27 2 years ago
Any footage of Lambert going head-to-head with a big back? Didn't think so. A LB at barely over 200 lb. can't do a whole lot in that dept. He was quick and aggressive, but he was no Butkus. Butkus would have no problem in today's game. Lambert might make a 2nd or 3rd string slow safety today.
bootsiebanty 2 years ago
Plenty of footage. check out #58 planting 6-2, 245 lb. Bobby Clark at 1:10 in on youtube '76 Steelers "greatest defense ever." also '75 highlight film of Lambert doing the same to 6-2., 230 lb John Riggins; ; 78 film to Earl Campbell; Plenty of footage if you know football. Lambert's bio on the Hall of fame site:
..."intense, intelligent, FAST, QUICK, durable..."

The statement expressed in this video "quarterback of the steel curtain" perfectly summed up Jacks role with the Steelers. In my ever-so-humble-opinion, the Pittsburgh Steeler defense of the 70's consisted of the GREATEST collection of talent ever assembled on one team, in the entire history of the NFL. Mr. Lambert was the "glue" that held it all together! God bless the "Black & Gold".

crazymonkeyman649 2 years ago
I suspect Lambert would've got his bell rung. Same with a head-on with a Hershel Walker, Ricky Williams or even an Eddgerin James. It doesn't matter how much aggression and desire to prove something there is, the truth is Lambert just didn't have the mass to measure up to these guys at full throttle.
bootsiebanty 2 years ago
I doubt it, considering the guys Lambert took on. Dont even try to say that the running backs now are tougher, they arent. Remember, football was actually a tougher game back in the 70s. Lambert in his prime could kick ass against anybody.
