ONE AMAZING THING about LT was he always wrapped up his victims and never just speared at them--or hit high near the helmet the way many tacklers do today.
He had this crazy ability to always square his body to never miss and many times used centrifugal force, the way safeties do, to bring down targets.
Although he doesnt appear to very intelligent, he did have an elite spatial perception of player trajectories to always take the correct path to the ball or player. Ball awareness=100
The best defensive player ever, period. The only defensive player ever named NFL MVP in 1986 and the only three time NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Unstoppable. And this is a 34 year Dallas Cowboys fan writing this. I loved watching LT play.
At 3:02, none of the cheerleaders are watching. That's so cute. One of the great plays in football history is unfolding, and they've all turned their backs, because they got some memo from some idiot saying, "Don't ever watch if the opposition does something good."
No doubt a great player . Like all things you gotta take the good with the bad. But damn, this guy makes it hard to overlook the bad. When it comes to pure arrogance, Taylors comment ( @ 4:39 ) ranks alongside Randall Cunninhams' " Somtimes I amaze myself' quip.
GREAT PLAYER!!!He's a real linebacker.Mark Madden is wrong when he said LT is not a linebacker.LT could play coverage.So dangerous as pass rusher.Thats why Parcells did not have him playing coverage that much.M.Madden is wrong.
Derrick Thomas RIP was the closest i've seen to LT... i remember watching DT and thinking of how much he reminded me of LT... I even just watched a clip of his highlights just so i could reminisce... I could only think of what could have been.
As a Giants fan growing up and as a sports fan in general, I'm glad I got to witness this man's play week in and week out and not just a highlight reel. He really was something else. I feel lucky - Jordan, Magic, Barry, Bo, LT, so many greats in that era
@jerrylo21 you cant seriously argue lt is the greatest football ever that honor is clearly jerry rice no ones close to him at his position LT was probably the best defensive player off alltime but he didnt dominate the linebacker postion as much as rice did at wideoutl LT was awesome but
Ray lewis is good they didnt change the offense side of the ball LT made them start to postion the Left tackle to stand at a angle thats how u been great ray lewis is great but in words of great and will things to happen lt has to two rings as well
Oh, LT. The greatest in football to nothing now. I will always admire his play, still love my Giants and the memories. How could he be so stupid? The times of celebrity immortality are gone, too many people watching all the time nowadays.
@sk0olbd... You have to be a real moron to think Ray Lewis is half as good as LT was. Ray Lewis was a good LB in his prime but LT completely changed the way a LB played and the way offenses played, he literally changed the game and is the reason why LT's on the oline are paid so much money.
@sk0olbd Yeah crack gave him his physical ability. If that was the case back then when he played there would have been way more than one LT. The dude was still amazing even after he was tested and clean. Keep hating though, Ray Lewis was never even half the LB LT was & not even close.
@PorkyGFAG Really??? Not even close? Hahahahaha. And why is that? Rays been the face of his franchise for way longer than LT was. LT had a quarterback and an offense his whole career. Up until this past 2 years Ray Lewis's defense has had to carry that team. They even won a superbowl because of his leadership. And are you trying to say alot of players were on crack in the 80's. Psh, LT would have been good already, but crack intensified his play. Ray's intensity is all natural.
Keep dreaming buddy. Phil Simms was benched plenty of times. I guess Jeff Hostettler was a Hall of Fame QB too right? Get real. Giants defense was why they won back in 80's and in 90 and the lack of their offense is why they didn't win it from 86-90 straight. You can assume his drug habit intensified his game, if thats what helps you sleep at night. What did Ray Lewis change on defense?
LT changed the entire way LB's played and changed the way offenses blocked.
@PorkyGRock So your telling me that if the Ravens had an offense in 2001 and in 2006 they wouldnt have won the superbowl either? Please Ray Lewis changes the way other teams game strategies too. This year is really the first year we are going to see his defense get some help from the other unit.
@sk0olbd You're going to compare a team taking Lewis into account like they do for every LB to the way LT literally changed the LB position and offense as well. He changed them not just made them scheme for him, there is a huge difference there. Also had double digit sacks for 6 straight years, Lewis hasn't done that once... Just stop comparing them Lewis is not even in the same league as LT & you can blame drugs all you want, that's your opinion and comical.
@PorkyGRock Your right its not the same league. The players nowa days are much quicker stronger and faster, wich gives more reason as to why Lewis is a better football player. Also Lewis is one of if not THE BEST leader IN THE HISORY OF SPORTS!
@sk0olbd In your dreams only. lol Talk to me when he can record double digit sacks for one year. Lewis was always decent at best. Maybe if you said Ed Reed was great, then I couldn't argue that guy is great but Lewis was always decently good never great. If he played in LT's era he would be holding LT's jockstrap.
@sk0olbd YOU ARE A RETARDED RAVENS FAN! If I had my choice between Ray Lewis, Joe Montana, Troy Aikman, Terry Bradshaw, or Lawrence Taylor......
LT WOULD BE THE CHOICE!!!!!! EVEN RAY LEWIS WOULD PICK HIM OVER HIMSELF! HE DOMINATED OFFENSES! HE WAS THE REASON THE GIANTS WENT TO THE PLAYOFFS IN 81, AS A ROOKIE, HE DOMINATED. ASK JOE GIBBS WHO CREATED THE ONE BACK OFFENSE BECAUSE OF HIM!! YOU SIR ARE RE-TARD.
@nickrappley50 There are only 2 kinds of men on the planet, those who like Butkus and those who like LT. I didn't think one side would ever actually win.... Looks like Butkus is ahead by just a teeny bit tho. (man i need help)
i'm a steeler fan but LT is definitely one of my favorite football players of all time. i am a fan of hard-hitting defense and LT DEFINED that and then some. regardless of the cocaine use, the man had unbelievable speed and athleticism that had not been seen before of a guy his size. he revolutionized the outside linebacker position from read and react to an aggressive attacking position. just an awesome player.
He knew what his job was and just how to do it. Being apart of the defensive line you should have just as much drive as the opposing teams offense, where they want to gain every yard they can, a guy like LT says you can try but you're going to have to dig your ass out of the ground first after I drive you into it. Thats defense. I think guys today are yeah too soft. Pure and simple. Most don't give their whole body and soul to the play, the team or the game.
Nobody like him!!! And I am a Cowboys Fan... D-Ware has a chance, he has to become dominate play in and play out like LT.. Also, he needs to be more vicious with his hits like LT was.
Yes there have been many other "great" defensive players along the way in pro football, but remember this: none have had a greater impact on changing the way an offense operates like Lawrence Taylor and that is why he is the greatest!!!!!
The most amazing LB I have ever seen. Seeing these highlights reminds me of growing up watching the Giants with my father. Regardless of the drug use, cocaine doesn't make you a better practice player and it doesn't improve your technique all key elements to what he did on Sundays.
i saw lt on 60 mins talking about how he took drugs yes he admitted to taking steroids and other drugs they should strip all his records from the record book for that.
i guess im gonna tave to put up the 60 mins interview to prove you wrong,he took both,and coccaine gives you super energy too so thats still cheating.
My man, i saw the whole interview, he never said anything about steroids. No matter where i look i can't find anything about that. Stop trying to downgrade his career, and accept that he was one of, if not the best deffensive player that ever lived.
i dont need to downgrade his career he has done that for himself for taking drugs they should strip all his records and take him out of the football hall of fame for that shit.
You know nothing about the subject in which you are speaking, you sound like a little kid, your the only person who feels this way. Im not gonna talk to you any further.
They put him on 60 min to show his life and how much he had to over come to get sober again. Not to downgrade his career like your trying to do. But you can't downgrade his career, cause he was the best.
wrong! they put him on because he was going to tell the world he took drugs and thats what was in the commercial too,he was the best cause he took drugs so that shows he wasnt the best cause the best dont need drugs to be great,thats why he is a oser and so are ou for supporting a druggie.
The world knew he took drugs before the interview you fucking idiot. You seem to be the only person who doesn't know anything about this subject. Im not denying he took drugs, but he never took drugs to enhance his playing. Why do you think all your comments get thumbs down? Cause everyone knows your wrong. Don't you see everyone is disagreeing with you? Go to any website, or any source and look up greatest defensive football player, and LT's name will pop up, trust me ive done it.
no they didnt or he wouldnt have gone on 60s mins to tell everybody,taking drugs does enhance ur playing you idiot,especially what he took,i dont care if they disagree just shows how stupid his fans are since there is video proof of him saying he took drugs,and since u wanna call me names over the net lets see u do it in person and give me ur name and address then lets see how tough you are.
This Jayfey gay doesnt know what the hell hes talking about! He never ADMITTED to taking anything but we know he only took cocaine. I DONT think they should ban his records for that cuz he didnt take cocaine anywhere near game-time!
Yea i know, he's an idiot. People like him shouldn't be allowed to watch sports. The whole world says LT was the best, except for jayfey77. Im gonna have to agree with the world on this one lol.
lol What the fuck? What you want my cock or something? Im not giving you my address ya homo. Why don't you give me your address tough guy? Do you really believe im afraid of a guy who lives on youtube? Cocaine does not enhance your performance. LT revolutionized his position and many defensive players have said that they copy his style. Now get out of your mothers basement ya fucking pussy, and watch your 9ers have another losing season.
ur a chickenshit im not the one acting tough you are your the one who started crap with me first on here you idiot,cocaine does enhance your performance it gives you speed and stamina thats why bruce lee took it you moron,you are afraid cause u wont give me ur address i will gladly give mine if you give me ur name and address.
I love when people about the 'next LT' there hasnt been one yet maybe never will be; why isnt LT ever considered for one of the greatest athletes of all time?
i'm a 49er fan and love L. T. every time SF and NY played before i wished for 49ers win and LT with 3 sacks. the only non 49er player i'd ever rooted for.
Look at that friggin speed at 2:15. It is like a 245lb man was shot out of a cannon. Dick Butkus,
you were the best linebacker but after 1981 you became the 2nd best linebacker

wrong! they put him on because he was going to tell the world he took drugs and thats what was in the commercial too,he was the best cause he took drugs so that shows he wasnt the best cause the best dont need drugs to be great,thats why he is a oser and so are ou for supporting a druggie.

The world knew he took drugs before the interview you fucking idiot. You seem to be the only person who doesn't know anything about this subject. Im not denying he took drugs, but he never took drugs to enhance his playing. Why do you think all your comments get thumbs down? Cause everyone knows your wrong. Don't you see everyone is disagreeing with you? Go to any website, or any source and look up greatest defensive football player, and LT's name will pop up, trust me ive done it.
USAALLTHEWAY100 2 years ago
no they didnt or he wouldnt have gone on 60s mins to tell everybody,taking drugs does enhance ur playing you idiot,especially what he took,i dont care if they disagree just shows how stupid his fans are since there is video proof of him saying he took drugs,and since u wanna call me names over the net lets see u do it in person and give me ur name and address then lets see how tough you are.

This Jayfey gay doesnt know what the hell hes talking about! He never ADMITTED to taking anything but we know he only took cocaine. I DONT think they should ban his records for that cuz he didnt take cocaine anywhere near game-time!

Yea i know, he's an idiot. People like him shouldn't be allowed to watch sports. The whole world says LT was the best, except for jayfey77. Im gonna have to agree with the world on this one lol.

the world doesnt support druggies you retard.

lol What the fuck? What you want my cock or something? Im not giving you my address ya homo. Why don't you give me your address tough guy? Do you really believe im afraid of a guy who lives on youtube? Cocaine does not enhance your performance. LT revolutionized his position and many defensive players have said that they copy his style. Now get out of your mothers basement ya fucking pussy, and watch your 9ers have another losing season.

ur a chickenshit im not the one acting tough you are your the one who started crap with me first on here you idiot,cocaine does enhance your performance it gives you speed and stamina thats why bruce lee took it you moron,you are afraid cause u wont give me ur address i will gladly give mine if you give me ur name and address.
