The music in this clip might be my favorite NFL Films tune. It wasn't on the set of discs they released a few years ago that I have. I keep watching this clip to hear the music even though the Steelers beating the Browns makes me ill.
@Xontar02 Even though I am a Steeler fan, I will tell you about another clip with the same music that won't make you ill. The 1977 Pit-Colts highlight uses the same music - the Steelers got routed in that one. It might still be up at Panthers channel or at Joneseracolts.
@1975NFL1 Ha Ha, thanks man. I actually have heard that tune in quite a few different clips, but this one comes through the best. Even though I'm a Browns' fan, I begrudgingly respect the Steelers (but I still hate 'em). By the way, I appreciate all the NFL Film uploads, I watch them constantly.
There is poor Mike Phipps for whom the Browns traded away future HoF WR Paul Warfield in order to draft him. Phipps is arguably the worst QB in the history of the Browns. Meanwhile, Brian Sipe was sitting on the bench.
It was once written in The Football Hall of Shame book that "during the heat of battle, Mean Joe Greene often reached the boiling point ( for him 32 degrees). His most brutal kick occurred in 1975 at Cleveland. With evil in his heart, Greene attacked OG Bob McKay in a way that would horrify the most crazed wrestling fan. Mean Joe stomped & repeatedly kicked the prostrate lineman in groin & legs. Finally, a gang of Browns wrestled Greene to ground & thrashed him. Greene was ejected from game".
@plntntvzn Greene's attack on Bob McKay explains what happened the very next year in Cleveland, when Turkey Jones piledrove Bradshaw head first into the turf. I was at that game and the crowd went silent as Bradshaw writhed on the field. The game was delayed several minutes before an ambulence drove onto the field, and Bradshaw was carefully lifted onto a gurney and then whisked away. There was immediate speculation not as to when he would play again, but as to if he would walk again.
Browns LT Doug Dieken #73 was crafty & a superb pass blocker (never a dominating run blocker or particularly athletic) who would cut, clip, grab, or do whatever was necessary to protect his QB. Dieken had much grit & savvy & was severely tested on this game against the great Dwight White(0:02 & 0:14 Dieken is holding his own)
Lynn Swann was a quick & fluid athlete obviously & a clutch WR. He ran precise patterns, accelerated quickly out of his cuts, had acrobatic body control & big-play ability. @ 0:29, Swann showed he was not "soft". Dallas DB Marcus Washington, the one that Swann torched in SB 10, 3 months after this game, once said,"I don't think Swann got enough credit for how tough he was".
Love those old orange Browns pants.

@mkeogh76 You could include Tim Couch in the same category as Mike Phipps..

Look for 1975 Wk 3 Plays of the Week. It has a good piece of footage of the Greene-McKay incident.

Joe Gilliam really could have been a very good QB in the NFL if he kept his mind to it and stayed "clean".
