I've never seen this in slo-mo, it gives you a better perspective than at real time. Doesn't quite live up to the all of the hype about the play after watching it like this. At Jackson's angle and speed no linebacker could have stopped him. Bosworth at least stuck him hard. Thanks for posting it.
I'd always heard that Bo 'ran through' Bosworth on this play, however this video doesnt even suggest that. Bo had the speed as well as the leverage when these two met for this encounter,.. .. and of course he's going to make the score.. Two great athletes of their day.. One of the greatest runners ever as well as an elite class linebacker..
I was at this game sitting in the endzone right above the play. Trust me, as a lifelong Seahawks fan, it was even uglier in person. Even had The Boz been able to set, Bo would have run him over.
This stupid play is so over-rated and over-hyped. Bo is running full speed straight ahead and Boz is running laterally and can't get his head in front of Bo. As a result, Bo pretty much runs through the shoulder pad and one arm tackle of the Boz. It was a bad angle and the Boz just got caught in a bad spot. I'm not a big fan of either player and if this was a full head on collision it would have turned out differently.
This play gets too much hype. Bo Jackson was one of the greats before his hip injury but this collision was pretty gay. No LB in the league makes that tackle at the 1 vs. Bo. Had he went helmet to helmet and put Boz on his back, this would be worth the trash talk.
Anyone who knows football knows how talented Bosworth was. I dont like him but as a fellow player respect his talent. He would have been a great player if not for injuries...
It's funny when people trash talk Bosworth. It's funny when people trash talk Jackson for that matter. I'd like to see any arm chair quarterback mother fucker try to stop Jackson or run past Boz in either ones prime. Good luck in not getting fucking wrecked.
Comment courtesy of madjohne. Jackson was better over all than the Boz but this is not as devastating as everybody hypes it to be. The Boz did better than most in wrapping up Bo Diddly
- A good NFL LB, but 25 surgeries will end anyone's career.
- A consistent All-Pro player if he had stayed healthy.
- But he was his own worst enemy. Too much trash-talking + steriods.
- The Bo Jackson highlight: What a joke! That was a 1 yard run. True it was a TD, but no one coming off a block can stop a 235lb TB who runs a 4.2 40 and is at full speed for NO GAIN! People who think this is a highlight have never played footbal
Love Bo! I had the displeasure of meeting Marcus Allen... what a total phony that guy is. I went up to him with my friend, said, "hi, how are you? I've been a big fan since your 'SC days!" He gave me this fark off look, then he goes to my friend -- who happened to be blonde and female -- and he puts on his nice guy act. Literary two seconds after he blatantly refused to acknowledge my existence.
The sad thing is, my friend really bought that Allen was this great guy.
This is so stupid, he didn't get completely run over. I played linebacker and when you don't get your should pads under theirs with their momentum, you will always go back some. Your normally playing laterally anyways so you will go back some a lot, but your job is to stop the play. Those were two great athletes and the Boz just didn't get low enough for the Bo.
@89Ryanhoward he means cause americans came here as immigrants from europe in the U.K killed the indians took land and then made this the U.S.A after killing everyone off of it.
@ghostdogmovies how could i ever forget such simple history? im pretty sure latin americans and indians were on here first and owned this land first but got kicked off brutally which makes me wonder why did they result in violence.
NObody gets run over in this clip what so ever. I am a college middle linebacker myself and i hate seeing this clip and how everybody says how the Boz got ran over. No he doesnt? he brings BO down within two yards of hitting him, the ball just happened to be near the goal line. All this shows is how BO knows how to accelerate when he see's that goaline. I dont care who you are your not gonna stop a 230 lb man on a dime who ran a consistent 4.4 40.
@TheChambers44 They say he got ran over because the Boz was talking crap before the game said he would have no problem containing Jackson. (221 yards and 3 TDs) Also that hit Jacked up Bozs shoulder and he was never the same after that. Only played two games the next season. Then quit because Bo Jackson ran his ass over.
@lbaker215 I never once said BO didnt have a good game, i never once said BOZ didnt run his mouth, but if u think Boz's career ended because of this play ur crazy. He had shoulder problems in college, way before he even got in the pros. Did he get the better of Boz this play?... Yes... Did he run the Boz over?.. Not quite. Im a fan of both guys but nobody ran over anyone on this play.
@lbaker215 Wow smartass did you come up with that all by yourself? haha this play is just over exaggerated in my book. Everyone knows BO was better than Bosworth no doubt about that but still nobody gets ran over in this clip. Just a good hard run.
I'm a Broncos fan. I hate the Raiders, but Bo Jackson was a monster. He made his reputation and torched Bosworth's in that game. I really hated Bosworth, so I was rooting for him. You can count on one finger the number of times I've pulled for a Raider. I always had a soft spot for Bo though, just because of that game. It really sucked that he got hurt. He might have erased some records.
It's not a fair match up considering the angle Bosworth was tackling Bo Jackson at. Anyone with knowledge about tackling technique can confirm what I stated above.
@severebrutalized I agree - this isnt a big deal by Bo Jackson - if Bosworth would have arrived earlier and hit Jackson head on instead of the side - he would have destroyed Bo Jackson - this is over rated bull shit - this isnt Earl Campbell.
@TommyC503 Are you Brian Bosworth or did you not really watch the video? Not only did he run him over, but your statement even says he isnt nearly fast enough compared to Bo to being able to "arrive earlier". Power and Speed, that was Bo...and no one knows it better than you Boz.
watch quincy wilson run about 20 yards then pancake merriweather to the ground (knocking merriweather back 4 yards in the process) then leap over merriweather and run an additional 20 yards for the td.....now thats running over someone.
this is what all the hype is about? hell i thought jackson ran over bosworth. what i see in this video is a good running back getting lower than the defender and gaining an extra 2 or 3 yards......happens about 30 times a game. bosworth did bring jackson to the ground.
running over someone would be wilson? of w. virginia running over miami db merriweather in 2003 game i believe between w. virginia-miami. now thats running over someone.
So many idiots if he blew him over like mile alstott it would be a big deal-boz held on to him from start to finish and you think that was a power blast then boz would of been on his back as soon as he got hit-
Nobody realizes that boz was coming off a block, not in motion, trying to stop a 220-230 pound running back who can run a 4.4 probably, who was in full motion.
It was considered to be a big knock on Bosworth because Boz was so into self promotion, but really wasn't anything special. He wasn't fast, so he was put on the inside of a 3-4 defense as a run stopper. And yet, when he met Jackson head on at the 2 yard line, AFTER Bo had to slow down to make the cut inside, Jackson stood him up and blew past him and landed two yards deep in the end zone.
So, if your only job is top stop the run inside, but in a one-on-one situation you get knocked backwards 4 yards, it means you aren't very good at the one thing your team uses you for, and therefore you should shut your mouth and quit promoting yourself as something special.
this is not the way I remember the play.I seem to recall boz being blown away back on his rear end and jackson just running over him.I guess it's just the mind playing tricks.
jackson had the luxury to move to the side after they collided, he used leverage to go to the left so bosworth couldnt stuff him straight backwards, momentum carried him to the side, he did not RUN OVER bosworth!
This play isn't overrated. I love Auburn and Bo was my idol. Bozworth talked so much sh*t before this game about how Bo Jackson wasn't anything he couldn't handle etc...Bo ran through him once, and flat ran over him a 2nd time.
@aw230012 yes it is overrated. Boz made the tackle. obviously nobody is going to stop a 240 pound running back that runs a 4.2 at full speed and move him backwards
@BoomerSoonerAllDay Bosworth didn't "make the tackle" on this play. See where Bo crosses the goal line? Play over. Watch the play again, Boz isn't standing still, and Bo isn't exactly running full speed. Is this the most impressive run in history? No. Should Bosworth have made this tackle? Arguably not. But Bosworth's big mouth makes it one of the greatest moments in sports.
stupid overrated play. 235lb 4.1 sprinter gets tackled pretty well I thought. Just because it was a t.d. Boz was a decent player, just had injuries that ended career.
Boz wasn't even an NFL quality player without juice, but that doesn't change the fact Jackson was overrated as a RB. He lacked one of the most important qualities of a RB: durability.
@veryslyfox It's so easy to get caught up in the speed, strength, acceleration and razor sharp cuts...
but you are right. You have to be able to take the pounding if you want to be a back in the NFL for any length of time. You aren't getting hit by 20 year old kids anymore.
@leschampagnes1-- Rules of physics you ignorant baboon. Someone running near full-speed into ANYONE is going to have the momentum to run through them.. What's funny is that people don't consider such basic laws of nature before making statements. Go flaunt your ignorance somewhere else.
@xanderschwab uh no that's not true bosworth was running too maybe he should've ran faster...and bo wasn't going full speed he JUST made a cut...watch the video and go flaunt your ignorance somewhere else
As a Seahawk fan I saw plenty of Bo and I can tell you this. There is not a linebacker in the history of the NFL that would have stopped this run. Not trying to defend Bosworth but Bo was unstoppable
@seatownwilly bosworth was overrated...Bo was a great back but replace Bosworth on this play with 2000 Ray Lewis, 1988 Lawrence Taylor, or even Steve Atwater or JOhn Lynch. That motherfucker's getting stopped at the 1 if u do.
@mikemarc92 I disagree. Replace Bosworth with any middle linebacker in the history of the NFL. I still think Bo gets into the end zone. Why 1988 Lawrence Taylor? LT wasn't even in his prime in 1988. He won MVP awards in 1981, 1982, and 1986.
unfortunately you are all wrong and were only told what happened ... the facts are the play was designed for only a FEW yards and the linebackers were not to be blocked.. BO said.* they cant stop me) you see the results,, no linebackers were blocked and the alabama jammer went in for 6,, he said he would and did,, the nfl was so inferrior for him,,, baseball was so much a challenge...for it was against his natural talent and he could not just bully himself ..
Those who think this is an overrated play, did not live during these days!
The Boz was super hyped superman and was supposed to me superior physically to all. Head to head with Bo and getting driven back int o the endzone was BIG news at the time. Bo mentions that of all his plays, the most people talk to him about was this play in football and the throw from left field where from the warning track he threw out Harold Reynolds at home plate.
Meh. Best Bo Jackson play was when he returned a kick form 10 yards deep in the endzone, ran all the way to the opponent's 1, turned around, ran back to his own end zone, then finally turned around again and ran another 100 yards to score the touchdown.
@magiccow64 Actually if you break down the mechanics of TSB, you'll fing RP & MS on kickoffs come from the right tackle. Mathematically the best kickoff returner in the game is a tie between Craig Heyward and someone from the Steelers (Merril Hoge?).
This has to be the most overblown play in NFL history. Bo had many runs more impressive than this, and many NFL defensive players - many great defensive players - have been trucked worse than this. Watch one of Bo's other clips where he absolutely pancakes Ronnie Lott, of all people, or one of Earl Campbell's clips where he flattens Isiah Robertson or runs through Jack Tatum's best shot and still scores. Bo was a phenom and Bosworth was overrated, but this play is evidence of neither.
Every time I watch this play I wonder what the big deal is. This play doesn't even seem abnormal in the least bit. Jackson had the momentum, Bosworth wasn't able to get squared up, and the guy scored a touchdown.
I can show you thousands of NFL plays where a player actually runs over another player. This is not one of them.
Bo had a great game. There's no doubt about that but this might be the most overrated play I've ever seen.
The Jackson-Allen backfield had the potential to be the most explosive in NFL history until Jackson got hurt. I was a Raider season ticket holder and had the honor of watching Bo for the seasons he played for the Raiders. Bo was huge and was lightning fast. We only saw a glimpse of his potential.
Bo was the man! Sadly the one and Only Raider game I went to was the one Bo got his Hip jacked up in. He definitely had the tools to be a great, but he never got to finish his career. We can only assume now.....
The only thing that made this play great was Boz's big mouth. He talked trash the entire week leading up to the game. Saying he used to want to be a Raider, they're soft and what he was going to do. He never missed a chance to talk it up. If not for that it would have been just another Bo Jackson TD. After that play he was just sitting on his helmet staring into space. He could not live it down and not sure if he has now. This is why you dont talk trash, let you're play do the talking
Yea this was a big deal cause Boz was shooting his mouth off, and he ate his words. I saw this thing where Boz said "they expected me to be the next Dick Butkus". No, Boz had a big mouth, and he put his foot in his mouth, and we loved to hate him, and he took steroids cause thats why he was 245-255 or whatever.
@raider7275 Hes not the greatest RB of all time. He "could have been".... But theres lots of "could have beens". Jim Brown is the greatest RB. Only played 9 seasons, whole defenses would be geared to stop Jim and hed still get 100 plus yards every game. THey didnt have 16 game seasons then and hed get 1400 plus yards every year. Bo Jackson was great, he had the speed, the power, the moves, but when you talk "whose the greatest", total yards, career yards, etc.
Yes, Boz did get trucked....no doubt. But, in all fairness, Boz was never in the right position to tackle Bo in the first place. His head & shoulders were behind Bo, not in front of him. Boz should've aimed at Bo's hips, with head & shoulders between Bo and the goal. Then, he MIGHT have driven Bo sideways. Then, he MIGHT have stayed in the league longer. Boz should've known better. Hell, kids learn that technique in Pop Warner. It was defintiely a costly mistake...have you seen a Boz movie ?!
boz cudnt quite stop his momentum cuz it was a bad angle..not head on...so he was going 2 man handle bo..but bo twisted out of his grasp...u wud have 2 b5x bigger than sum1 2 totally stop sum1 from a angle who has u beaten by a step!! boz never quite hit him bo hit boz!!! he never tried 2 run over boz!!when bo sensed bozs strength he twisted @ last sec...

Nobody realizes that boz was coming off a block, not in motion, trying to stop a 220-230 pound running back who can run a 4.4 probably, who was in full motion.

why the fuck is Bosworth tackling with his head on the wrong side? Elementary tackling skills there buddy....
doinkclown 1 year ago
It was considered to be a big knock on Bosworth because Boz was so into self promotion, but really wasn't anything special. He wasn't fast, so he was put on the inside of a 3-4 defense as a run stopper. And yet, when he met Jackson head on at the 2 yard line, AFTER Bo had to slow down to make the cut inside, Jackson stood him up and blew past him and landed two yards deep in the end zone.
johnnyenchilada 1 year ago
So, if your only job is top stop the run inside, but in a one-on-one situation you get knocked backwards 4 yards, it means you aren't very good at the one thing your team uses you for, and therefore you should shut your mouth and quit promoting yourself as something special.

this is not the way I remember the play.I seem to recall boz being blown away back on his rear end and jackson just running over him.I guess it's just the mind playing tricks.

bo suffered a hip pointer in this same game and left the game, it eventually ended his career.
bo was a 'physical specimen'.
oscarmacaroni 1 year ago
jackson had the luxury to move to the side after they collided, he used leverage to go to the left so bosworth couldnt stuff him straight backwards, momentum carried him to the side, he did not RUN OVER bosworth!
travrosty 1 year ago
This play isn't overrated. I love Auburn and Bo was my idol. Bozworth talked so much sh*t before this game about how Bo Jackson wasn't anything he couldn't handle etc...Bo ran through him once, and flat ran over him a 2nd time.
aw230012 1 year ago
@aw230012 yes it is overrated. Boz made the tackle. obviously nobody is going to stop a 240 pound running back that runs a 4.2 at full speed and move him backwards
BoomerSoonerAllDay 1 year ago
@BoomerSoonerAllDay Bosworth didn't "make the tackle" on this play. See where Bo crosses the goal line? Play over. Watch the play again, Boz isn't standing still, and Bo isn't exactly running full speed. Is this the most impressive run in history? No. Should Bosworth have made this tackle? Arguably not. But Bosworth's big mouth makes it one of the greatest moments in sports.
radonich20 1 year ago
stupid overrated play. 235lb 4.1 sprinter gets tackled pretty well I thought. Just because it was a t.d. Boz was a decent player, just had injuries that ended career.

Boz wasn't even an NFL quality player without juice, but that doesn't change the fact Jackson was overrated as a RB. He lacked one of the most important qualities of a RB: durability.

@veryslyfox It's so easy to get caught up in the speed, strength, acceleration and razor sharp cuts...
but you are right. You have to be able to take the pounding if you want to be a back in the NFL for any length of time. You aren't getting hit by 20 year old kids anymore.

As a Seahawk fan I saw plenty of Bo and I can tell you this. There is not a linebacker in the history of the NFL that would have stopped this run. Not trying to defend Bosworth but Bo was unstoppable

@seatownwilly bosworth was overrated...Bo was a great back but replace Bosworth on this play with 2000 Ray Lewis, 1988 Lawrence Taylor, or even Steve Atwater or JOhn Lynch. That motherfucker's getting stopped at the 1 if u do.

@mikemarc92 I disagree. Replace Bosworth with any middle linebacker in the history of the NFL. I still think Bo gets into the end zone. Why 1988 Lawrence Taylor? LT wasn't even in his prime in 1988. He won MVP awards in 1981, 1982, and 1986.
idster7 1 year ago
unfortunately you are all wrong and were only told what happened ... the facts are the play was designed for only a FEW yards and the linebackers were not to be blocked.. BO said.* they cant stop me) you see the results,, no linebackers were blocked and the alabama jammer went in for 6,, he said he would and did,, the nfl was so inferrior for him,,, baseball was so much a challenge...for it was against his natural talent and he could not just bully himself ..
kingslegion1 1 year ago
Those who think this is an overrated play, did not live during these days!
The Boz was super hyped superman and was supposed to me superior physically to all. Head to head with Bo and getting driven back int o the endzone was BIG news at the time. Bo mentions that of all his plays, the most people talk to him about was this play in football and the throw from left field where from the warning track he threw out Harold Reynolds at home plate.
egonzinc 1 year ago
@egonzinc
Meh. Best Bo Jackson play was when he returned a kick form 10 yards deep in the endzone, ran all the way to the opponent's 1, turned around, ran back to his own end zone, then finally turned around again and ran another 100 yards to score the touchdown.
Or was that just Tecmo Superbowl...

This has to be the most overblown play in NFL history. Bo had many runs more impressive than this, and many NFL defensive players - many great defensive players - have been trucked worse than this. Watch one of Bo's other clips where he absolutely pancakes Ronnie Lott, of all people, or one of Earl Campbell's clips where he flattens Isiah Robertson or runs through Jack Tatum's best shot and still scores. Bo was a phenom and Bosworth was overrated, but this play is evidence of neither.
uhmfar 1 year ago
Every time I watch this play I wonder what the big deal is. This play doesn't even seem abnormal in the least bit. Jackson had the momentum, Bosworth wasn't able to get squared up, and the guy scored a touchdown.
I can show you thousands of NFL plays where a player actually runs over another player. This is not one of them.
Bo had a great game. There's no doubt about that but this might be the most overrated play I've ever seen.

The Jackson-Allen backfield had the potential to be the most explosive in NFL history until Jackson got hurt. I was a Raider season ticket holder and had the honor of watching Bo for the seasons he played for the Raiders. Bo was huge and was lightning fast. We only saw a glimpse of his potential.
raxs923 1 year ago
Bo was the man! Sadly the one and Only Raider game I went to was the one Bo got his Hip jacked up in. He definitely had the tools to be a great, but he never got to finish his career. We can only assume now.....
SKOTxFREE 1 year ago
The only thing that made this play great was Boz's big mouth. He talked trash the entire week leading up to the game. Saying he used to want to be a Raider, they're soft and what he was going to do. He never missed a chance to talk it up. If not for that it would have been just another Bo Jackson TD. After that play he was just sitting on his helmet staring into space. He could not live it down and not sure if he has now. This is why you dont talk trash, let you're play do the talking

Yea this was a big deal cause Boz was shooting his mouth off, and he ate his words. I saw this thing where Boz said "they expected me to be the next Dick Butkus". No, Boz had a big mouth, and he put his foot in his mouth, and we loved to hate him, and he took steroids cause thats why he was 245-255 or whatever.

@raider7275 Hes not the greatest RB of all time. He "could have been".... But theres lots of "could have beens". Jim Brown is the greatest RB. Only played 9 seasons, whole defenses would be geared to stop Jim and hed still get 100 plus yards every game. THey didnt have 16 game seasons then and hed get 1400 plus yards every year. Bo Jackson was great, he had the speed, the power, the moves, but when you talk "whose the greatest", total yards, career yards, etc.

Outofline92 1 year ago
Yes, Boz did get trucked....no doubt. But, in all fairness, Boz was never in the right position to tackle Bo in the first place. His head & shoulders were behind Bo, not in front of him. Boz should've aimed at Bo's hips, with head & shoulders between Bo and the goal. Then, he MIGHT have driven Bo sideways. Then, he MIGHT have stayed in the league longer. Boz should've known better. Hell, kids learn that technique in Pop Warner. It was defintiely a costly mistake...have you seen a Boz movie ?!
