Musical tribute to the San Francisco 49ers defensive teams

Varied clips from 1984 to 1990 of the defensive units of the San Francisco 49ers, accompanied by the music of Igor Stravinsky's "Firebird Suite". The part of the suite heard is "The Infernal Dance Of Katchi". Katchi is an ogre who means to do harm to the other principals of the Russian based folk tale.

P.S. There is nothing to hear or see during the final 20 or so seconds of the clip.

Here's the thing that caused me to realize how underappreciated the 49er defense of that era was. I was watching a recording of Super Bowl XXIII and saw how they didn't give up an offensive touchdown. The 1988 49ers highlight film (which I also have) mentions that.

A 1995 NFL Films Super Bowl retrospective, however, said the last time a defense kept the offense out of the end zone was game 9 (PIT/MIN). Someone at NFL Films didn't do their homework on that.

Because they believe he is a bad person to look up to, they think he is too crazy for the HOF.

Just excellant! Thanks for posting! Yeah...Joe was the offense and Ronnie was the defense. I don't care how good players are today, give me Montana and Lott to build a team around any day of the week.
