Refs throw flags continually today. You can't play defense anymore without flags being thrown. The 80s was the best decade to watch football, especially if you were a Niners or Giants fan.
@@sisophous exactly I tried to watch the 49ers vs Saints a couple weeks ago. Brees gets sacked. Defender doesn’t drive him into the turf. Actually let’s up as they’re going down. Brees gets awkwardly and they penalize the 49ers for roughing the passer. I had to turn it off. It’s just not football anymore. They might as well put flags on the skill players and just play flag football
@Damon Tul Plenty of other ppl have said otherwise about LT being the pre-eminent DEFENDER of his era as I said before Taylor needs to sue LaDainian Tomlinson for COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.
@Damon Tul He is the last defensive player to win league MVP... Teams changed their whole scheme to stop him and still failed. . I would put Reggie White at a close 2 and Bruce Smith, as great as he was, isn't even in the conversation.
@Damon Tul I grew up watching LT... I hate the guy because I'm a Niners fan... There was no stopping that guy... Ray Lewis is the greatest middle linebacker I saw play, but he isn't on LTs level. If you look it up, most experts agree that LT is the best defensive player ever. He was on another level. Bruce Smith was great but he disappeared when it counted
Yeah, Barry Sanders wouldn't be able to get near him statistically. Had Al not been an asswipe to Marcus Allen (possibly due to cognitive decline), they'd practically be carrying the team 50/50 (even better with Hostetler at the helm), and Marcus wouldn't have left at all later on.
I heard somewhere that a lesser athlete wouldn't have gotten that injury but Bo was pulling with so much force when tackled in the Bengals game it made it worse than it normally would have been.
@@RisingRecluse that's true. The 250 pound linebacker had both arms around his leg and jackson's power just ripped his own hip out of its socket. Pretty much any human will fall down when man that size is holding onto one your legs, but not Bo. He was literally too strong for his own body.
Starting at timestamp 3:17 … lmao. Lawrence Taylor pushing back a O lineman into the QB like that. Legend. I'm glad I grew up watching football in this era. Big boy football. Good times.
And how many defensive coordinators wasn’t smart enough to throw a double team on LT ? And let’s not forget...... The man used steroids and cocaine during the season. TAINTED STATS !

@@davep1103 You have never watched tape in detail of Lawrence Taylor I can tell.. Others are more successful in career totals and accomplishments, sure, but nobody and I seriously mean it.. Nobody was doing what LT was.. Just "dOuBlE tEaM" him😅😅.. Taylor making plays that require more than one man most of the time all by himself.. One because he is unbelievably athletic and scary tenacious, also because his IQ is probably the best ever as well, for real.. Taylor the type of dude to completely annihilate a guard tackle combo and still tackle John Riggins for a loss👀.. Or he can just run down all pro backs behind the line of scrimmage for losses, be in coverage against Rice etc.. you really don't understand.. That'd be like Brady throwing a screen pass to a all pro receiver and still manages to be a lead blocker downfield for tds on the regular😂.. Shit like that you wont ever see for obvious reasons but with Taylor, thats on the daily.. Do us a favor and watch film and know what your looking at.. because LT, transcend defense son.. Hes the best football that ever lived and its not close.. In my book, Brady number 2 and I'm a lifelong Patriots fan.. Its not about stats with Taylor, REALLY watch him.. The best football that ever lived in my opinion.. I cant do nothing but smile seeing him do superhuman freak shit, no weaknesses in his game whatsoever.. Taylor be asleep in the middle of gameplanning, wakes up and tells Belichick and the defensive what the plan is and sleeps again.. He was that good nobody was better at football than LT..
Yes, different times, different game.....bunch of spoiled millionaires now a player gets a 1st down and acts like he won the game......try that then see what happens 🤕
Two absolute beast athletes. Taylor was nowhere near washed up, but was a little past his prime here. Shows how good he was, plus playing on a busted ankle. Would have loved to see prime LT vs Bo. Forgot how fast Bo was. Legends. Thanks for sharing this.
@@johnp8355 I did not see a telecast until this vid and did not know Don Criqui was the play-by-play. I rarely went to regular season Giants games. Normally I only went to the Jints-Jets preseason game with buddies as tradition. The one other regular season game I went to was against Dallas in the 1993 season, the game where Emmitt Smith broke his shoulder but stayed in and delivered a heroic performance. That was a good game too. I picked a couple of good ones. I'm down in Miami now so those days are over.
@Ron DeMorris As I recall, they didn't even have the parking lot cleared from all the snow they had received the night before. They had to play the only Monday day game ever in NFL history.
That was a helluva head on and considering Tatum gave up over 30 lbs makes it all the more impressive . . . except Earl still had presence of mind to roll into the end zone, lol. But both of these guys in this one were pretty damned impressive, Jackson not unlike Campbell in style before his unfortunate premature retirement.. Taylor just seemed to me a damned smart player who read plays well and managed to be where the action was, often by dodging the blockers or going through them when necessary. All rare talents in one way or another.
Taylor is probably the greatest player ever. Certainly the greatest defensive player ever. Changed the entire way the game was played. As great as Bo was, his career ended before it had even truly begun.

Bo did pretty well against the Giants. Usually the Giants defense manhandled the opposing players. Not Bo. His power, speed and strength was a good match for the Giants. He was sort of like an offense LT.

In this video Lawrence Taylor has to tackle Bo one on one in the open field and it looks almost like a mirror image of Bosworth tackling Bo in the end zone.
Cleveland Brown He sure did & he taught him well. The history & connections of these games to today’s NFL fascinates me. Parcels’ coaching tree is incredible
They got good money back then. If you made a million a year in the 80s that was good money, enough for a lifetime for an ordinary person- and to live well too, not just try to live like someone in the middle class. Plus the best players got endorsements and other money besides their contract. The huge difference between today and back then is today virtually anyone that gets drafted by a pro sports league is set for life. Back then you had to be important to the team and stick around for several years at least.
As kid growing up in late 80s and throughout the 90s Bo Jackson was my favorite athlete even I’m a Washington fan I always loved Bo Jackson from the shoes to Pro Stars cartoon
On some of the plays where LT was not involved in the tack I noticed he did his assignment well, playing the contain position on the edge instead of going for the tackle.... LT was a lot more disciplined than I gave him credit back when he played. He was also able to come off his contain assignment and pursue the ball. LT is the best football player of all time I have ever seen regardless of position. 2nd would be Larry Allen.
LT is like the Pterodactyl swooping in with that wingspan of sack death! The only way O lines stopped him was by holding penalties that never got called. GOAT!
I've seen two defensive players in my lifetime that simply appeared as if they were playing on a different field. Lawrence Taylor and Sean Taylor. Further, I have never seen a 240 pound linebacker manhandle offensive linemen like LT.
Reggie White. Prime time maybe Ed Reed... LT against my Lions, ran over our #1 pick overall, the LT Dorety for a sack and later picked off a ball in the endzone and out ran our fastest player, Scott, for a 100 yard TD.
LT doesn’t look like he’s playing with a cracked bone in his ankle . He and Bo were amazing athletes they laid their bodies on the line every play you have to respect their will to be the best .
OK so this proves LT was Superhuman: Announcer: ...and Lawrence Taylor is playing with a cracked bone in his ankle.... !!!! ... and he is still dominating !!!!!!
He was hitting over 400 playing baseball at Auburn and on his way to being drafted in the first round on MLB. Knowing this, Tampa Bay had the number one pick that year. The owner was Hugh Culverhouse flew Bo down to Tampa. Bo informed him about the NCAA and Culverhouse replied that he spoke with them. When Bo returned, his baseball coach met him on the field and informed him that he was ineligible because he took gifts. Bo said he was crushed and cried like a baby. He informed his coach what Culverhouse said (LIED). Bo informed TB that they would waste a pick if they chose him and that he WOULD Never play for TB. Instead, he would play baseball. He got a call from Al Davis for an opportunity with the Raiders. That is not only a true story, but the TRUTH!
Ok heres a question. If it was Taylor in that same play Bo ran over Bothworth how would it play out? I say still Bo, momentum usually goes to the running back.
Did you watch the video? Lol. Almost the same thing happened at 1:48, except it didn't happen at the goal line. Of course Bo wins. Bo is too strong and fears no one.
LT was the greatest edge rusher of that time. Bo was the greatest athlete on that field and of all time. LT had 1 job to get by 1 OT and cause chaos which he did brilliantly. Everyone knew Bo was getting the ball and he still ran over people if not by them. He did that primarily as a full time baseball player. He would have dominated any era. Not so sure on LT, yes he had size and speed to compete today, but OT are more athletic today. He would ex be able to play coked up. Just saying
@@rsp49 I guess you were not around when the real LT played. LT would Dominate today. Greatest player ever . He's 30 year's old here, after abusing his body for years and still Dominating. No one could run as fast as LT at 250 lbs before or since, including Bo Jackson.
@@danhood1443 I was around. Watched my niners dominate the LT giants in the 80’s. LT is right behind Jerry rice in all time greatest. It’s not even close. # 2 is actually debatable. Nobody questions #1.
Strum and if he was high we wouldn’t play well at all if ur gonna try and roast the goat at least use common sense and Lawrence Taylor is arguably the greatest defensive player ever
Two of the all time greats learn all u need to know about Bo on the ESPN special about him The dood was a two sport star and a freak of nature as well as a great dood. LT what can I say as a Giant fan can't thank him enough for all the memories. This guy revolutionized football with pure effort and skill. If he had taken better care of himself and actually worked out he could have been even better. He really understood the game and never took a play off ever.
LT must have had incredible core body muscle strength. When he gets the edge on the tackle and has that lean you should be able to collapse his body and slow his pass rush but on LT not a chance.
Also have to mention Guyton and other members of the Giant secondary. Bo Jackson against other teams would just steamroll guys, even the linebackers. Against the Giants Bo would hit the DBs and these guys held their own.
Two of the greatest Tecmo Super Bowl players of all time, Bo and LT.
Ronnie Lott could cover the line of scrimmage and then run 60 yards to intercept the ball in that game lol
@Just Business Yeah I remember my homeboy back in the day used to be pissed... He'd be yelling "why don't you stop using Ronnie Lott" lol

Bo Bo did not let Lawrence stop him from playing his rightful part.
Lawrence Taylor should have been the 1st 100 million dollar linebacker
The way he lived,he'd be dead by now
He'd of put it up his nose
I loved to watch both of these greats. The game will never ever be the same.
That Giants D was amazing; so many iconic players - including the great LT. Bo was an icon himself. Thanks for posting
Giants fans are wishing for those days to come back lol
Oh yeah we are! Football season is over for us really early.
I love it when someone uploads highlights from their Tecmo Super Bowl game.
Back the the NFC had better defensive teams
LT won that day.
His TEAM won!!!!!!!!
Agreed
Damn! BO is a machine! 👍🏾
Two of the greats. Giants had some defense, I forgot how good Collins no 25 was. He was one of the best at his best.
LT is probably the greatest defender ever, but BO will run anyone over one on one in the open field.
They need to show Bo vs Bosworth
Bill Belichick was the Defensive Coordinator in that game.
R. William Comm bill parcels taught that man
Cleveland Brown He sure did & he taught him well. The history & connections of these games to today’s NFL fascinates me. Parcels’ coaching tree is incredible
He had lines of cocaine on the sidelines
R.Williams Comm Belichick was high as hell making the comparison between JJ WATT<
Wonder if he cheated then
BO still a BEAST whoever's out there!
They used to play for love of game..now they play for love of money .. big difference
No, they played for the love of money. You got to go back much farther in history to the time when they played just for the love of the game.
They got good money back then. If you made a million a year in the 80s that was good money, enough for a lifetime for an ordinary person- and to live well too, not just try to live like someone in the middle class. Plus the best players got endorsements and other money besides their contract. The huge difference between today and back then is today virtually anyone that gets drafted by a pro sports league is set for life. Back then you had to be important to the team and stick around for several years at least.
Like listening to Don Criqui...
Good thing the league wasn't testing Taylor every week
fr dude was high all the time
@Ron DeMorris ya fr he was crazy
@Ron DeMorris
yea he was scary lol
Good thing for him they let him line up in the Neutral Zone his entire career.
Love L.T. & LOVE BO JACKSON . Good times .
QB trying his best to get out of the game ... He don't want none of LT! 🤣
As kid growing up in late 80s and throughout the 90s Bo Jackson was my favorite athlete even I’m a Washington fan I always loved Bo Jackson from the shoes to Pro Stars cartoon
LT top 3 players all time
1.Tom Brady/2.Jerry Rice/ 3.Lawrence Taylor?
Hunter Baldwin yes
@@Hunterrawusa eww tom brady naw
@@Sleezy253 hes the goat!!
@@Hunterrawusa how many rings did he cheat for
LT is my cousin and he was one of the 🐐 and still a benchmark Bo Jackson was bad
Lawrence is the best defensive player of all time. And I am no Giants fan. Im from Baltimore.
My most favorite offensive (Bo) and defensive (LT) players ever.
The giants may have won but everyone Bo hit he ran over! Lol
I’m sure LT just sniffed some and got right back out there.
Lt is on beast mode
Bo Jackson vs Brian Bosworth. Haha!
IF A HEALTHY BO AND A HEALTHY LT WENT HEAD ON THE TREMOR WOULD HAVE BEEN FELT ON THE MOON!!!!!!!
@4:30........
RIDICULOUS !
And what Amahad Rashad said,
“ BO CAN DO ANYTHING !
AND I’M A BELIEVER ! “
On some of the plays where LT was not involved in the tack I noticed he did his assignment well, playing the contain position on the edge instead of going for the tackle.... LT was a lot more disciplined than I gave him credit back when he played. He was also able to come off his contain assignment and pursue the ball. LT is the best football player of all time I have ever seen regardless of position. 2nd would be Larry Allen.
I miss the days when players didn't get fined for being masculine, tackling, or making a football move! Today's sports leagues are powder puff ball
The Giants crushed the Raiders in this game. I was there!
LT is a terror. Bo is just an athlete.
Best linebacker ever
He change your game in a heartbeat
Great players. Bo fueled by God given genetics, Taylor fueled by God given genetics, and some cocaine.
JSN bro keep making the vids. Shit is awesome
The volatile stranger thoracically promise because rowboat postnatally call worth a resolute cartoon. enormous, hideous high pakistan
LT is like the Pterodactyl swooping in with that wingspan of sack death! The only way O lines stopped him was by holding penalties that never got called. GOAT!
Back when football was great. Them days are long gone.
L.T. was like a Marvel Comic hero or villain
Bo Jackson is a Linebacker in the running back position.
1:45 very rare to see anyone escape Taylor. I suspect Taylor being injured had something to do with it
Didn’t get his head across.
I've seen two defensive players in my lifetime that simply appeared as if they were playing on a different field.
Lawrence Taylor and Sean Taylor.
Further, I have never seen a 240 pound linebacker manhandle offensive linemen like LT.
Coke did wonders for him.
Reggie White.
Prime time
maybe Ed Reed...
LT against my Lions, ran over our #1 pick overall, the LT Dorety for a sack and later picked off a ball in the endzone and out ran our fastest player, Scott, for a 100 yard TD.
@@rsp49 Lmfaoooo
Lawrence Taylor best football player to ever live... STOP PLAYING!!!
LT doesn’t look like he’s playing with a cracked bone in his ankle . He and Bo were amazing athletes they laid their bodies on the line every play you have to respect their will to be the best .
A yo bo jackson be tha best complete running back ever
Unstoppable force vs immovable object
My man said "just tape me up" and was still killing em #LT
Coke probably dulled the pain a little.
Giants defense was so stout back then, you couldn’t consistently double team the greatest LB of the era.
3:50 Bo nearly broke it had he not been tripped up!!!!!!
That was my take too.Bo got his that day & so did Lt,but if Bo had the great wall of Dallas blocking he'd still be running.
@@richardmorris7063 No doubt he would have crossed the 2K BARRIER TWICE
LT was one of a kind...so was Bo. Both
“Great play by Lawrence Taylor.” Taylor misses the tackle. Good call Ahmad.
He showed no Jackson down! Lol
He was talking more about the angel he took on the bad ankle
He brought bo down lol
Getting Instructions LIKE he was on crack? Lol. That’s funny.
If you look closely you can tell bo fell from the hit
LT just like Bo but on defense
Bo Jackson easily rips thru LT at 1:48, similar to what he did to the Boz.
Yeah he seems to kind what my coach used to say you whiffed him
L.T. the best linebacker ever???
OK so this proves LT was Superhuman:
Announcer: ...and Lawrence Taylor is playing with a cracked bone in his ankle.... !!!! ... and he is still dominating !!!!!!
Men played back then.
LT is the best LB ever. But even he was just another player to Bo.
Did he say "Bo" was a 7th Round Draft Choice???? Really??? 2:50
Because he told everyone he would not play football, otherwise, he would have been first overall.
@@richardfrench2863 OH yeah.. I remember now.. Thanks!!
He was hitting over 400 playing baseball at Auburn and on his way to being drafted in the first round on MLB. Knowing this, Tampa Bay had the number one pick that year. The owner was Hugh Culverhouse flew Bo down to Tampa. Bo informed him about the NCAA and Culverhouse replied that he spoke with them. When Bo returned, his baseball coach met him on the field and informed him that he was ineligible because he took gifts. Bo said he was crushed and cried like a baby. He informed his coach what Culverhouse said (LIED). Bo informed TB that they would waste a pick if they chose him and that he WOULD Never play for TB. Instead, he would play baseball. He got a call from Al Davis for an opportunity with the Raiders. That is not only a true story, but the TRUTH!
LT is probably the best football player ever. But we were all robbed of watching what Bo Jackson could have been. Damm shame.
No that would be Jerry Rice. LT best coke head though.
Bo knows Bo.
RN4L!
Ok heres a question. If it was Taylor in that same play Bo ran over Bothworth how would it play out? I say still Bo, momentum usually goes to the running back.
LT would run him over like he runs over 300 pound linemen
I got bo. When bo gets that momentum he’s unstoppable
Did you watch the video? Lol. Almost the same thing happened at 1:48, except it didn't happen at the goal line. Of course Bo wins. Bo is too strong and fears no one.
Christian Okoya was my boy you couldn’t tackle him
Steve Atwater has entered the convo!
I don't see much between Bo and LT. I see Bo running over a lot of players on that Giant D.
you're joking right?
LT was the greatest edge rusher of that time. Bo was the greatest athlete on that field and of all time. LT had 1 job to get by 1 OT and cause chaos which he did brilliantly. Everyone knew Bo was getting the ball and he still ran over people if not by them. He did that primarily as a full time baseball player. He would have dominated any era. Not so sure on LT, yes he had size and speed to compete today, but OT are more athletic today. He would ex be able to play coked up. Just saying
@@rsp49 I guess you were not around when the real LT played. LT would Dominate today. Greatest player ever . He's 30 year's old here, after abusing his body for years and still Dominating. No one could run as fast as LT at 250 lbs before or since, including Bo Jackson.
@@danhood1443 I was around. Watched my niners dominate the LT giants in the 80’s. LT is right behind Jerry rice in all time greatest. It’s not even close. # 2 is actually debatable. Nobody questions #1.
@@rsp49 How about 49-3 and montana in the hospital after. and the Niners never beat LT' giants in the playoffs in Any of their 80's run
What i learned was the only man that could tackle bo was lt and the only person that could break lts tackle was bo
Good take.
Man......... Lawrence Taylor even contained Bo!!!!!!!!
Joshua Harris the only time they met was at @1:50 every other time Bo was running already wrapped up or stuck on his own blockers
PerkysKallin GOMD mind u lt had a bad leg lmao and he still did a great job
DaTruePugMaster05 Mind you, LT was more than likely high off his ass during this game.
Strum and if he was high we wouldn’t play well at all if ur gonna try and roast the goat at least use common sense and Lawrence Taylor is arguably the greatest defensive player ever
DaTruePugMaster05 What the fuck are you going on about? LT admitted himself that he would use coke while playing.
the guys that play in the nfl today, couldnt make the team in the 80s nfl
Two of the all time greats learn all u need to know about Bo on the ESPN special about him The dood was a two sport star and a freak of nature as well as a great dood. LT what can I say as a Giant fan can't thank him enough for all the memories. This guy revolutionized football with pure effort and skill. If he had taken better care of himself and actually worked out he could have been even better. He really understood the game and never took a play off ever.
LT must have had incredible core body muscle strength. When he gets the edge on the tackle and has that lean you should be able to collapse his body and slow his pass rush but on LT not a chance.
Cocaine's a helluva drug
Bo don't know Taylor!!!
They were both "AWESOME" in their era. I mean both also had great Collegiate careers before the pro's. It was a prevlidge too see them play. Thanks.
Also have to mention Guyton and other members of the Giant secondary. Bo Jackson against other teams would just steamroll guys, even the linebackers. Against the Giants Bo would hit the DBs and these guys held their own.
I was at this game, man was it cold. The raiders pretty much gave up in the 4th quarter
