I'm a Falcons fan, and I vividly remember having to tolerate watching Aaron Donald big boy our O-Line during the 2017 playoffs. We won, but he sabotaged the offense the whole game, i mean scorched earth style. He's a freak, and I've envied the Rams ever since.
The man had a down year for his standard. It would still be a career year even for HoF DT. He's from a different planet. At the time of his retirement he may very well be the greatest defensive player ever
Unlike the delusional two replies. I agree. As you said "may very well be" you didn't guarantee it which is reasonable and anyone thinking someone will never be topped is also ridiculous. I do however also agree, Donald isn't quite there yet. Easily top 5 all time already at DLine and still rising. Donald is the only man with 2 DPY awards that has a realistic shot at #3 or more.
The greatest player in the NFL right now and the greatest defensive tackle in the history of the game. We have never seen another player like Aaron Donald
@@terrylear3070 defensive players have only won MVP twice: Alan Page in 1971 and Lawrence Taylor in 1986. Even for a player of Donald's caliber, it'd be a miracle to win MVP in the modern game over any given offensive player
@@lucasnogueira1137 Bro i would argue Donald is already the GOAT. Meane Joe Greene finished with 78.5 career sacks, that took him 13 years to get. AD already has 72 sacks and the man is barely entering his 7th year in the league. We have never seen a player quite like Aaron Donald.
@@Tatuajes23 the thing is though back when Joe played teams didn't pass nearly as much they actually have similar sack and double teams rates the only reason I give Joe the edge is longevity but its really a toss up
@@Tatuajes23 As a Rams fan what should be scary for other teams is that we've beefed up the D-line big time with A'Shawn Robinson and Leonard Floyd that's gonna allow AD to get more 1on1s pair that with a Ramsey lead secondary with Troy Hill John Johnson and Taylor Rapp this Rams defense as a whole is going to be devastating. I just pray that Jared will have more time to throw because as soon as the ball was snapped he would have to get rid of it because of just instant pressure. The poor bastard had no O-line or Run game with a broken Gurley. It was just Goff out there getting killed and he still got us to 9-7 I honestly don't get the blind hate for the guy.
My favorite play from Aaron Donald was in the super bowl where he just flung Tom Brady to the ground with no effort. Didn’t get a sack but the look and Tom’s face was hilarious.
This video makes the Patriots O-line performance in the SB look way more remarkable. He just got close to Brady but never actually disrupted him. That would've been the difference.
As the game progresses and technology (ie training tools) progresses, the NFL game is going to have less and less "strong and FAT linemen". As Alex points out numerous times here, footwork and evasive agility wins you more battles at the trenches than any amount of brute strength. A combination of footwork, agility, AND strength is what the apex lineman should be. Aaron Donald is the epitome of that. We're seeing it first hand over the last 5 years in the NBA and I feel like we will inevitably see it in the NFL over the next 5-10 years. Linemen will be shredded 6'2"-6'4", 275 pounds, sitting at 8-10% body fat. The game is going to get even faster and faster across all positions.
The NBA has transcended into a more offensive scoring game than it has defensive lol. Just look at the NBA 8 bubble games since the season started back. You got teams scoring an absurd 130-140ppg that's video game numbers lol. I'm like no defense is being played at all. You don't see #1 NFL defenses scoring defense over the past 5yrs giving up 25-30ppg lol
As Brian Baldinger pointed out in his breakdown, Donald might be the best interior defensive lineman to ever play the game. He has absolutely no weaknesses to his game. He has an answer for anything the O-line can throw at him.
Donald looks like this generation’s Lawrence Taylor. Just as dominant but more compact and I can’t see Taylor execute the moves Donald does on a down to down bases.
anthony patterson but he does, i.e 4th quarter run stop against Seattle, strip sacks against Kansas City in that Monday night shootout, 4th quarter sacks against the Vikings in a close game. He’s got plenty of notable moments that have already cemented him as a first ballot gold jacket. Thanks for the grammar correction, I’ve lost countless night of sleep over that.
At first I thought, He's a helluva DT. Then I thought, He's an incredible DL. Then I thought.....He's got a lot of LT moments. Now I think....He's the greatest defender since LT, and he might be better because he's doing it all on the inside.
If i remember correctly wade philips said in his defensive course that donald did the opposite. He uses a jet technique to rush the passer and adjust to the run.
10:16 wade said that vs shanahan teams, they dline has no actual gaps and just to fire into the backfield as fast as possible when the oline moves horizontally and then the linebackers will adjust theirs gaps to whatever gap the dline ends up.
When you realize that jump swipe Aaron does is A LOT more effective than you first thought. It generates extra force AND he covers so much ground that the lineman are ALWAYS out of position. Only DT I see doing this today, probably the only one capable too. Remember, this man has been lifting weights for a decade and bench presses 500.
As Niner Fan Aaron Donald not only best Defensive player in the league can Debate he's the best Player overall he's a Beast very Scary to go up against
I'm calling it, this man is going to go down as the greatest DT in NFL history. If not, arguably the greatest defensive player alongside Lawrence Taylor.
Kyrie clutch Irving number one way to improve is putting in extra work and listening during practice and watching tons of film not just for the opponents but for urself too to see what move u should have done in tht situation
born 2 shit forced 2 wipe rd bro thanks for the feedback but my team kinda made it to the state championship and im starting at d tackle on varsity my freshman year
Aaron Donald has an unfathomable combination of speed/quickness and strength. He's always the quickest lineman on the field and the strongest guy on the field
11:23 - Coach Alex Gibbs teaches us in his clinics that the linemen should have a backside hook arm being thrown to try and catch your man and stop this. Will that stop a beast like Donald? Not really. As an amateur lineman and coach myself though, against non-elite talent, I can tell you how well this works at preventing those moves from working against me and my team mates in zone blocking. My guys and I are ALWAYS throwing that backside hook, unless the situation calls for a flipper, which is another conversation.
The center probably should have combo'd to Donald on that play, but it's hard to say without knowing the specific blocking assignment. AD flew in there so dam fast, not sure it would have made a difference
Aaron Donald is already at GOAT status imo. He’s soooo much better than the number 2 guy that its insane. I remember watching a training camp video his rookie season and I just knew he’d be great. Been saying is was the best defensive player during his St Louis days. Im glad people are starting to see and realize this!
Aaron Donald is what a player looks like when they are above the level of nfl players who are the greatest football players in the world .. what a true transcendent player is there are great players and then there are different guys in rarefied air ... what athletic god given talent match with supreme football IQ and instincts and work ethic will get you quickness at a 3 tech unseen glad he’s here in my time such dominance only comparable to his dominance in my time is peak JJ watt
That’s the key here is only 1 is amazing inside and that’s Aaron Donald. you put TJ or any other pass rusher in Aron Donald’s position and they wouldn’t have even half his numbers. & put Donald outside and his numbers wouldn’t even be fair. and that’s why he’s the 3x DPOY And the best in the league. a proud rams fan.
Love the diversity on positions you provide. Have you thought about doing a Michael Thomas video on his record breaking season? What makes him so unstoppable? There were plays where everyone in the stadium knew he was getting the ball but he and Brees’ connection wins out. What are the Saints doing to keep #cantguardmike open?
I talked with my brother about Donald a lot recently because of the new Madden ratings. It was funny to me that Christian McCaffrey was the other 99 alongside Donald and Mahomes. I know it’s just a game, but am I missing something that somehow puts McCaffrey in a category with the best defensive and offensive players in the league?
First player to completely master the cross chop move that is currently sweeping the league, many many state players currently training in Atlanta in order to get this live down while Donald has already had it as a prime move in his arsenal for a while, it’s not even funny how advanced and dominant he is. Im already ready to say he is the best defensive lineman ever and I do have a great feeling he will be the greatest defensive player ever when it’s all said and done for his career
AlexRollinsNFL yeah I mentioned that in my other comment, he studied Quinns game against Seattle, and didn’t it originate from Osi Umenyiora(sorry I have no idea how to spell his name) brought it to the league? Furthermore my point is that Donald is the first player to completely master the move and uses it in a much more versatile and has it as such an integral part of his arsenal compared to other guys who use it more sparingly and not as a consistent move like Donald does. I’ve seen tape of Barrett getting a rush on a LT with a single hand using the cross chop, he literally doesn’t even use his right arm at all. It’s just crazy to think about how this move is a new trend among pass rushers and Donald was already ahead of the game and has been using it consistently for a decent amount of time
AlexRollinsNFL I guess I didn’t make another comment about Quinn, my bad, but yes it is interesting to know that Aaron Donald studies film from many other players, and then takes what they did and do it better
When Suh played with him you could see there was a chasm in comparison to the two talents. Donald is so calculating and efficient. Suh flopped around with no discipline thinking he could just toss people.
My question, is EVERY single movement intentional? Like around 7 minutes you mention that Donald misses the initial club so he positions hand on Skuls elbow to gain the advantage. Are those minor movements intentional and accurate or are players like Aaron Donald just that raw and talented?
Great question Matthew. Yes, every move is intentional. Donald and most everyone else is reacting to the Olineman during the down, which is crazy to think about. His jab and counter steps are preplanned, but hand movement after that is mostly reaction based
Khalil mack is EASILY the better pass rusher than Donald is. Not taking anything away from his game, he's hands down the best DT in the game, but as far as pass rusher, I give that to Mack any day TWICE on Sunday!!!
16ktsgamma well i mean like sure if you combine 3-4 different guys from the niners you can make something better than donald, but there is no single human alive thats a better pass rusher than aaron donald
There’s a specific 4-3 defense I want aaron Donald and I know it’s not happening hint the 4-3 defense I’m talking about is in the state of Washington and my team
I tell people all the time i would take donald over any other def player in the league. At any other position you can name me 5-7 elite guys, at dt.......not so much.
Soon rules will change so you can't rush the passer. Offenses rely on rules changes to be competent, and this man proves they can't have high scoring tight games like plebs want. Personally I'd rather see a 17-10 game with great plays than a high scoring game because of rules hindering defenses.
This guy is literally walking film study on how to play on the defensive line. He’s unbelievable
I digress, he's a freak of nature and his skill set it's next to impossible to replicate. I'd give that title to the bosa brothers

d o n a l d
Donald
Donald, because he’s smaller, and he can disrupt the whole entire backfield
Donald, interior pressure > Exterior
Donald can play anywhere more consistently than Watt, so Donald
He would make a frightening martial artist as well. So many quick moves and the ability to smash through someone's defense are formidable.

Yess
I meannn its actually TJ watt tbh you should say the best Inside pass rusher yk
Best idl of all time
Imagine if Aaron Donald was drafted by the texans
Yeah I just imagine it right now if Aaron Donald got drafted to the Houston Texans with JJ Watt they will be unstoppable defense
AD is good in the regular but when he played in the playoffs, a complete DUD
Too much highlight reels of Seahawks oline getting dominated for my liking.
Best defensive linemen of all time. Get the fuck out of here with those 70s players, donald is king.
Um hes not Fletcher Cox is
I tell people all the time i would take donald over any other def player in the league. At any other position you can name me 5-7 elite guys, at dt.......not so much.
That moment when you're to good for the NFL XD
tev Colman rocked him 6:15
Soon rules will change so you can't rush the passer. Offenses rely on rules changes to be competent, and this man proves they can't have high scoring tight games like plebs want.
Personally I'd rather see a 17-10 game with great plays than a high scoring game because of rules hindering defenses.
Lambs just might go 10-7 and thats a big maybe
Well they in the super bowl soooooooo.
Why the fuck my coaches never teach me any of this????
Chandler Jones is
WHERE IN THE FUCK ARE THE CLOSED CAPTIONS, YO? LOTTA DEAF PEOPLE OUT THERE, MAN!
