 Alright my friends, what is going on, and welcome back to another reaction video. Today we're cracking into it, there's no time to lose guys, I'm sitting riverside, I am in my van, we're doing this, it's number 75 on the list, it's Earl Thomas, I've seen him before, like I said, and I'll see him again, but the first thing I want to do, well the first thing I want to do, is just get some stats, cause they served me well in the previous video. There he is, not the guy that I remembered, but definitely one that I've seen, he's only five foot ten, he's only five foot ten. In the last video we looked at a corner, in this video we're coming one in, or one back so to speak, and we're looking at the safety, the guy that's just going to hammer these runners and these receivers if they break that first line of defence, you know what I mean? They're just going to come in and just smash him, or be explosive enough to break off a pass, or clean something up, or chase someone down. Anyways guys, the first thing that I see here when I look through his high school career is that he ran track, which is not surprising. Competed as a sprinter and a jumper, personal best long jump in high school of 7.14 metres, considered a four star recruit by rivals.com. Thomas was ranked as the number 12 athlete in 2007, how old is this count? 31, he's 31, he's not old actually, he's only a year older than me. Five foot ten in 92kgs, went to Texas, got picked up in the first round of the 2010 draft, picked number 14, was at the Seahawks from 2010 to 2018, then went to the Baltimore Ravens last year. Won one Super Bowl, he's been in the Pro Bowl seven times in his 10 year career, which is pretty decent, 70% straight right there. He's a tackle machine, he's had 713 total tackles, as of 2019, and they don't have his stats for this year yet. But with that being said guys, he's played over 150 games, I'd say at this point, almost 150, yeah he has actually, he's played over 150, he's a veteran, and his name's Earl Thomas, let's get into it. Definitely, you guys are going to be working together back there. The first thing I see about this guy, the first thing that I think about this guy, we're not talking about Von Bell, look in fact I've never seen him before, but I like the hat, in fact I've got the exact same one. See a word like instinctive right, I use explosive, I used initiative, but he's instinctive, he uses instinct, and that comes through years and years of playing the same sport. Every single safety, every single cornerback that makes it in the league would have to have, you know, a pretty high level of football nows, an IQ, right? I mean to get to the NFL, that is the pinnacle right. Shit, there's one thing I forgot to look at, what was his 40 yard dash, I always like to look at that. 449, okay, alright so we've got a quote here from Mike Mayock, I've probably watched 300 to 400 snaps a piece, and in my opinion Earl Thomas is the most instinctive free safety I've seen on tape in five or six years, he's a playmaker. He's got loose hips and he's got the best range of any centre-fielder I've seen coming out of college football in a long time. That was Mike Mayock on, well, 10 years ago on April 18th, 2010, talking about Earl Thomas back in the day, and it seems as if, it seems as if he's, it seems as if, if my intuition served me correctly, that he has basically lived up to that expectation, if not more. Oh mate, mate, mate, mate, mate. What's he, what's he seeing at that point when he decides, no, I'm gonna go for the interception. He's cocking it, he's looking to his left, he sees Edelman coming in, but he also sees number 45 there, and sees the cornerback coming round to try and snuff it out. He knows, Edelman's about to get that, look at Edelman, he's on the line, he is on the, he's on the in zone line. If he catches this pass, it's a touchdown, all day. Tom Brady's even, Tom Brady's off the fucking ground. Tom Brady fires to Edelman, you know, quick slant route, it's a touchdown all day, but not when you're playing Earl Thomas. We'll see that in real, real time again. Bro, he's a safety, he's gonna have to hit you. He's gotta, he's gotta bring down guys like, is that Derek Henry? No, it's not. But he's gotta bring down guys like Derek Henry, and look, if you're not, if you don't go in hard, if you don't fucking try and initiate that contact, he's gonna steamroll you. That basically explains his demeanor and what he brings to the football field. I like this guy. I don't know why, but I like him. Do you? Yeah, well you wouldn't be doing that to Lamar Jackson as the quarterback, because he would have shaken you off. He would have given you a spin move, he would have given you a bang bang, bang bang bang. And, uh, laders. Yeah, he took advantage of that quarterback, he certainly did. Get out of here, Larry. For his first nine seasons in the league. Yeah, he's a beast. He's had a great game, and it meant a lot to Earl. He's certainly a beast. He got a Ravens win. I didn't have much to say. Oh, Chris Carson got leveled. He got a Ravens win. Look at this. Oh, okay, first contact. In fact, look at this guy. Oh, fuck, look at that, bro. Chris Carson, the running bat, I think that's his name, he's running full speed into these guys, right? And he is literally being stopped. Instant, like, being stopped. Like a brick, like running into a fucking brick wall. He got stopped. Yet his upper body wants to continue moving forward, but his lower body ain't going nowhere with that defense. That hit would put people in bed for a week. But I'm sure he got up the next day and trained. That's insane. That's fucking insane. He got a Ravens win. Yeah, Earl. Let's have a look at this. Okay, so this next guy is a tackle. He plays for the same team, the Ravens. Probably not going to get my juices going as much as the other guy, but you never know. He's number 74 on the list. His name is Ronnie Stanley. Guys, I want to thank you so much for being here. This is me in my van, as I imagined making shit happen. Thank you. Thank you for watching. This is pretty fucking cool. And you know, it's all good, man. This is what I enjoy. This is what I enjoy. Whether it be a reaction video, whether it be a lifestyle video, whether it be a bodybuilding video, whether it be anything that I have to use my brain for. You know what I mean? That I have to be creative to do is what I enjoy. And that's what this series is about. So guys, I want to say cheers. Thank you for watching. And I'll see you soon. For Ronnie Stanley. Ronnie Stanley. I know Ronnie lot, but I don't know Ronnie Stanley. Let's get into it.
