@TheGridironYT not tough to admit. LT was that great. He rewrote how we keep defensive stats, LT made the left tackle the most important OL position. He ended emphasis on the fullback, too long to go into here.
Andre Tippett was every bit as good as Lawrence Taylor. As one sports journalist put it, "Andre Tippett was putting up Lawrence Taylor numbers, even though he had much less talent surrounding him compared to LT." Before you say you disagree with me, I ask that you actually take the time to compare LT's and Tippett's numbers. You will see that they are very, very similar. Shockingly similar. They both came into the NFL at about the same time. They both had about the same length careers, and their numbers are very similar. There are just two big differences: 1) Tippett got hurt, and he was out for nearly an entire season 2) LT played on much better Giants teams, and he was surrounded by much better defensive talent compared to Tippett. LT got all of the attention because he played in New York, and the Giants were contenders during that time. The Patriots were not a good team back then. Had Tippett played for the Giants, you better believe his numbers would have been even better than LTs.
As a Tar-Heels fan he's the greatest LB in NFL's History Lawrence Taylor was relentless a unstoppable force the 1st Round 2nd overall pick out of University of North Carolina by the New York Giants a 3X NFL's Defensive player of the year 2X Super Bowl Champion and 1986 NFL's MVP no debate but in college he wear #98 in the pros #56 with the Giants
"Sir" Lawrence Taylor, the undisputed GOAT @ LB. LT could line up anywhere and didn't need anyone to occupy blockers he would run past or over who was in front of him to get to the QB. If it was a run he could go sideline to sideline to get the runner, even in the midst of his off field issues he dominated there was no escaping him. Go Hawks
As a Giants fan, we enjoyed seeing the defense on the field more than the offense. We didn't watch the opposing QB or the ball, we watched #56. If he lined up somewhere other than his usual rt outside LB/DE position, someone would always yell, "Where's Taylor". It was weird watching the Giants D after he retired. It was no fun. I really had to get back into the habit of watching the ball again.
In this video I liked watching LT play because he could dominate the line as a linebacker but the Grant are rebuilding like many NFL TEAMS are doing. From coach down and I watch the NFL draft.a lot of QBS have come out.and to see from what college they played for
As a Cowboy fan, I got no problem saying that he has to be the best player on any side of the ball , in NFL history. I remember watching the games. Till that time in the 80's till now, I haven't seen anyone come close to him and YES that includes Lewis of the Ravens , no son, not close.
I'm a Giants fan, Taylor at one × was good, gave everything on the field, Carl Banks made him who he was, Banks was all in. A 1st class act, Taylor, we all know the garbage he likes
Quite the opposite. Taylor drew all the attention that made Banks much more effective. It was a great D but Banks was no LT. Then again nobody else was either
LT came in and made his chops as a player before Banks you know. The guy was already a two time defensive player of the year before the 1984 draft where the Giants chose Banks. Even Banks would have disagreed with you. Same goes for the low IQ voters who gave you thumb ups. Don't call yourself a Giants fan with this kind of take.
Yeah the Giants missed the playoffs 17 years in a row until Taylor came along and Taylor was taken 2nd overall in the draft and was ACC player of the year in college and somehow (according to you) Banks made Taylor.. Sober Up and Check into Rehab pal ..
@@TheGridironYT Pay has changed for all positions. They played different for him, not others. He was double teamed with a tackle and a guard and a RB would chip block him. Team's had to run to his side, hoping the almost triple team would somehow control him. They couldn't run away from him to the other side because he would catch running backs from behind before they reached the line of scrimmage. How many defenders could do that before or since?
I'm glad I saw him play his whole career. He changed the game, period. As. Lions fan, I saw him take over the second half of a game against us including a 90 plus yard pick six, and no one came near to tackling him. He was supposed to be out with a bad knee. GOAT.
So he swept floors and carried groceries for hours at their house in the middle class neighborhood where he did what he wanted it and never asked permission. That’s a good story
LT was the greatest defensive player in the history of the NFL. Today the NFL is 100 percent fixed/scripted. The the NFL player slash athletes are acting like the WWE is the same thing trust me
I was a huge Tim Raines (Expos) fan and i remember when Raines was caught using COKE and Raines later admitted he played a lot of games high on it and once stated he played better while on it. You just got to know LT was high on COKE in some of those games. I'm not disparaging LT i'm just saying . Both players are in their respective Hall of Fames regardless

Say this as a Redskins fan. Lawrence Taylor was the best NFL player ever.
Tough to admit. Appreciate u

@@user-sg8kq7ii3y lol hilarious
Taylor, Bo, Barry, Montana, Rice, Showtime, Tyson, Jordan, Gretzky, Magic, Bird...man, I miss my childhood.
Wish I saw LT back in the day
Can’t forget prime time
When they were REAL CHAMPIONS. LT is my favorite football player ever. We are extremely lucky to have grown up with the true greats.
So do I Brother...So do I...LT WAS THE GREATEST ON THE PLANET...ANY PLANET
Me to. You never know what you had until it is gone. To me the there was more heart in sports back then.
Coke had a Lawrence Taylor problem
😂 well said
it never effected his game, plus every player has problem
haha hilarious!
@@ralphkotwica6184 it was everybody problem in the 80's and 90's specially young people in their 20's and 30's
The Best Linebacker in history changed the position forever
💯💯💯
There's an argument to be made for the best FOOTBALL PLAYER ever as well. Much harder to be MVP as a defensive player and dominate that long.
It's crazy that North Carolina had back to back to icons roll thru there w him n then jordan.not just greats but legends
Tru that
This is the combination of physicality and will power that separates a league full of great athletes

Defensive GOAT
He's the greatest football player ever. Regardless of position.
Had two of the greatest games I’ve ever saw a defensive player have. Never seen anyone with the aggression he had .
Facts he was a monster
LT is the greatest defensive player ever!
Absolutely
the greatest defensive player of my time...and I live in Philly and watched Reggie, who was pretty dam good, but second place to Lawrence Taylor
Fair
Imagine if Young hadn't messed up and chose White instead of Zimmerman who doesn't even want to be there...
LT and White on the same defense.
Me too and you right
I Still Can't Believe That Lawrence Taylor Functioned So Properly When Under The Influence Of Koka-E-Nah
Same
I'm surprised he's still alive.

💯🐐
LT could generate more force in a step and a half than other players at a ten yard sprint. Scary!
💯💯
LT best of all time 💯
🐐
Lawrence Tyler was the best defensive player ever played the game hands down, this is from a die hard cowboys fan without the hype
💯💯💯💯
Amazing vid. LT is my hero. Subscribed.

Top 3 greatest player's of all time.
Facts
As great as he was. can you imagine a clean Lawrence. He would've video games numbers that no human could ever match.
Why do they say he changed the way the position is played? No one has come close to playing the position like or as well as LT.
He changed the way the offensive line was played and paid
@@TheGridironYT Pay has changed for all positions.
They played different for him, not others. He was double teamed with a tackle and a guard and a RB would chip block him.
Team's had to run to his side, hoping the almost triple team would somehow control him. They couldn't run away from him to the other side because he would catch running backs from behind before they reached the line of scrimmage. How many defenders could do that before or since?
On the list of all-time greatest defensive players, I put him at number three behind Deacon, Jones, and Mean Joe Green
🫨
He has a new mugshot...
🧐
Reggie White and LT are the best defenders of all time
They better put some respect on LT’s name
💯💯
Definitely top 10 for him era. A very solid player.
Facts
Name the other 9
@@Profeex22 It was a joke based on the video title. We know how good he was he’s unanimously considered the GOAT by everyone.
@@chicagodude8888 if you can’t name 9 more that’s cool too
@@Profeex22 I can’t. That’s the joke.
The greatest defensive player of all time, intelligence as well as physical prowess. Relentless intensity, dominated the game like no other.

There's no such thing as GOAT in football. Positions are too diverse. But if there was one LT is that guy. No one comes close.

This guy is a dynamo!

He did coke and while playing shouldn’t that be cheating like I know many other players did that but shouldn’t it be cheating for all of them
Yea that’s a good argument but no one cared in the 80s
You think he was the only one?
I watch this and wonder what JJ Watt would look like on the field coked up.......probably pretty insane 😂
@@StupidJLee Not to mention coke impedes performance, far from the steroids people made it out to be.
Have you ever done coke?
