"Fine. I'll do it myself."
Don't show me LT v.s the damm Lions
Harrington Benton Why?
@@jenyakostak2155 probably cause hes a lions fan
@@jenyakostak2155 because he's afraid of Thanos and LT. And prolly a lions fan
Thanos wasn’t scared of any Avenger or other hero. But Lawrence Taylor scared him…the man unbalanced the talent level in every game he played.
I've tried to describe him to those too young to have watched him play. "No, really. Coaches would design their offense based on 1 player!" He was truly incredible. The GOAT. No question!
Coaches would design a regular offense to play every other team and a special offense to play LT. And it didn’t always work.
I miss Pat Summerall's voice on commentary. Him and John Madden were the perfect combination
Madden always knew how to deliver a gem:
“If this team doesn’t put points on the board I don’t see how they can win.”
“Usually the team that scores the most points wins the game.”
“They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.”
“The best way to gain more yards is advance the ball down the field from the line of scrimmage.”
“Hey, the offensive linemen are the biggest guys on the field, they’re bigger than everybody else, and that’s what makes them the biggest guys on the field.”
“If the quaterback throws the ball in the endzone and the Wide Receiver catches it……. It’s a touchdown.”
doink!
Madden and his words of obvious wisdom
Beg your pardon
Ian eagle and marv albert are pretty good.
Lawrence Taylor. The greatest player in NFL history.
LT’s the most dominant defensive player in NFL history.
There is no “greatest football player” of all time.
@@afridgetoofar1818 why not?
@@ercihanates6504 Football is a game of speciality. How do you determine who the best player is when they all have a specific role to play? It’s hard to quantify, especially on offense.
@@afridgetoofar1818 l.t the greatest, you bafoon.. Tom can't get hit
@@kingking8768 LT can’t throw.
Kids today will never understand how insanely dominating LT was.
Easy to learn. Info everywhere
@Levi Ackerman your using most people not knowing a confusing and old form of writing that isn’t applicable in the workplace in an argument about how dominant LT is when most of that information is freely available and most people who actually watch football, especially this generation and last regard him as top 3 all time.
@Levi Ackerman In what world does cursive correlate with basic comprehension and grammar of the human language? Cursive is simply a way to write English, and objectively a more confusing one, especially for immigrants who are learning English. Most people don’t even write in cursive outside of memorizing their signature. Also using emojis doesn’t make your point right.
@Levi Ackerman not to mention, look at what your typing on. Does it have cursive letters? No. It has normal letters because it’s easier to read and less messy. Not to mention if we’re going back to the handwritten argument it’s far more messy for people with bad handwriting because all of the letters are conjoined.
aaron donald is close as he’s gonna finish as the 2nd best. bc linemen were facemasking him and horse collaring LT and he’s still top 10 in sacks, truly the most dominant force in nfl history
Back when a fumble was a fumble, quarterbacks got tackled, and replays were merely for viewer entertainment. Ahhh the good ol' days...
I'm thumbs up #56. SWEET.
Yep.
I like the replay challenges. Getting the calls right is important. Other than that I’ll take all the old rules.
LT was the GREATEST PLAYER i've ever seen in 45 years of watching NFL Football. #1. Legend.
Lawrence Taylor is the best linebacker I have ever seen.
YOU NEVER SAW DICK BUTKUS. IF YOU DID YOU WOULD CHANGE YOUR MIND
@Sudhir Kakar You never saw Butkus play live. I saw every game he played and about 50 LT games
@@omeletpants u are an idiot
Outside linebacker
LT is the best player, forget linebacker
So this is the Lawrence Taylor they compare JJ Watt to. It's not close. LT>JJ
I love JJ, but lets be real. LT>>>JJ
JJ is the closest thing we've seen to Bruce Smith. LT is leagues above Bruce Smith, of whom is a Top Three pass-rusher ever.
If JJ Watt could get away with snorting coke and possibly taking steroids (LT never admitted to taking PEDs but has admitted to having teammates pee in the cup for him) then maybe JJ could be comparable.
we will never know.
frank logo, how do you know jj aint dirty if you are implying that Lawrence is dirty......smh, it aint even close.....
@@lewisharrell8558 cuz you will never catch a crack head, ain't that right LT?
I watched this game live on TV....He was an unbelievable player, the absolute best defensive player ever.....No one even comes close.....Thank you LT!
I've never seen a person run 97 yards and not be tired afterwards
This is the most monstrous linebacker in history who also did crack of anyone could do it LT could
Perks of being a crack head lol still the best outside linebacker of all time
99 yards nigga damn
And be hurt
Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
John Madden on commentary is classic and LT was a monster out there!
Deshym Williams
I think I loved hearing John Madden almost as much as seeing Lawrence Taylor play. The two seemed to just go together.
I wish I was born in the 80s so I can watch him play that's a goat right there
You mean born in the 70's so you could watch taylor in the 80's
Yes it was great time in football History . Football was fun to watch . Lol great teams and Players . Was the Golden age of football not like todays game .
Sinkingelk 22501, I’m 42yrs old, and watched at least 10full seasons of LT in his prime, & Brotha I wish you were 42 to 50yrs old so you could have the memories I have of him.. he was jaw dropping to watch
He was something VERY VERY VERY SPECIAL!!!!! to watch.....
Sinkingelk 22501
But you would appreciate it more if you were born in the late 60’s - early 70’s.
Most dominating player of all time
Besides Jerry Rice. Set records that will never be broken in an era that didn't provide WR and QB protection like it does now.
@@MattSmith-iq1ld Rice didn’t change the game like LT did
Easy Buddy but yeah close.
@@TL2354 Bullshit he didn't. YAC was created because of Jerry Rice and how many yards he would accumulate after the catch. He changed how the league and the public perceived what an offense should look like. JR changed the game a fuckload more than Taylor.
@@redriderbbgun8018 Lmao what a stupid comment, "YAC was created because of Jerry Rice" and "he changed how the league and public perceived what an offense should look like" in other words he didn't change the game he was just dominant. LT changed the game, outside linebackers weren't rushing the passer. He did it in games where he was supposed to drop back in coverage, his coach even said there isn't a name or play for what you're doing.
Wow...I'm a DIE HARD Redskins fan, but LT was simply otherworldly...Mad respect to LT, he was truly incredible....
Bills fan: guy was the GOAT in a world of men not this current snowflake era
@@jesselovell8090 🤣🤣🤣🤣
he was a force of nature
I'm a lifelong Eagles fan. Born and raised in Philly. We had Concrete Charlie and what was considered the greatest defense in 1991. Lawrence Taylor was the best defensive player, ever! He was a beast. I hated that the Eagles had to play LT twice a season. Madden, Summerall and Lawrence Taylor; yeah, that was magic. That dude played hurt.
I'm so glad I was able to watch LT play . This was when football was great
Lawrence Taylor is the G.O.A.T at his position. There will never be anyone like him. Now hand me them W's
The Gentleman R.I.P if u didn't ask for likes people would probably like your comment. Now hand me them mafuaken W's 😎
Hamza Darwish W
LMAO Jim Plunkett? I will assume this post is a troll.
Greatest player in NFL history.. changed the game.
Greatest player in his time for sure.
Nope.
that would be Jim Brown and brady...LT is probably best defensive player in nfl history slightly ahead of butkus . patriots fan
Leo Durocher Brady is so overrated not even close
funny how the greatest basketball player and the best football player of all time went to UNC! Go heels!
97 yards on a bad knee, and he was leaving WRs and DBs in the dust. I remember this game like it was yesterday.
lmao yea !
3:05
Only one of the greatest sacks in history
3:50
On a bad knee, he's the fastest player on the field
The Future Is Here when you’re on that much coke you don’t even feel your knees!
And he walked like nothing
@@bradyhansen3582 I guess you're speaking from personal experience....
I remember watching this game. Heartbreaking as a Lions fan but a phenomenally impressive performance by Taylor. BTW if any of y'all can't stand Danielson as an announcer, this tape is indicative that he was just as bad at being a QB.
😆 🤣
Grew up a Skins fan from the late 70's through the 80's (glory years,...soooo long ago). But go figure,...one of my favorite players was LT. The best pure football player ever to play on the defensive side.
As a life long Lions fan born in 1982... we would call this game “par for the course.”
SHOUTOUT TO THE REAL LT
Quincy Greene Aye I seen you from Mavs channel.Whats up wit it?
Supreme_Handles wassup Mavs the goat
no fuck you the REAL LT is LaDainian Tomlinson, not this coked out kiddy diddler
Quincy Greene LT is real too he had the greatest season ever by a RB
Quincy Greene Yup.
Shout out Ladanian Tomlinson
My favorite thing about Lawrence Taylor is he could make the biggest play of the game and just simply walk back to his position
This. NO Showboating!!!!
That's how TE Mark Bavaro was too.
It's called class. Barry Sanders scoring tds and handing ball to the ref. Pure class
That's how most players were back then. Now it's all about entertainment, not about sport, which is why I quit watching years ago.
@@livewire2759 but the owners own the checks. Not the celebrater, following orders
I had the pleasure of watching this game live . As a longtime Eagles fan I have to give credit when credit is due. It was the most awesome defensive display I've ever seen.
So do we, for winning a Superbowl without your best player.
Now you've gotta win another three - and more...
"Now, wait a minute. We're talking about Lawrence Taylor now," Yeah, I'm not putting anybody in Lawrence Taylor's class," So ... You can put everybody down below that, With a lot of respect to a lot of good players now, but we're talking about Lawrence Taylor." Bill Belichick... head coach and general manager of the New England Patriots...
Yes. However, LT was his guy and part of those great Giants' defenses so he's gonna be biased. Let's ask Brian Billick who he thinks is the best and he'll say Ray Lewis. Proves nothing.
@@ccncate No need to be biased when the truth is right there.
@@ccncate I would be willing to bet that if you ask Ray Lewis who the best LB ever was, he would say LT.
@@drangedhermit1 I would bet that too. But that doesn't mean anything. It's like Tyson said that Ali would have beaten him, and Ali said the opposite. LT would have been someone he looked up to coming up. Look, these guys are considered Mt.Rushmore and you could make an argument either way. If someone preferred LT I wouldn't criticize them, but RL has his case absolutely.
@@ccncate who won MVP as a defensive player again?
People talk about the GOAT of football in general terms. Often, they will talk about Brady or Rice. But to ME, the GOAT will always be LT. In my mind, there is no one who comes close.
Rice lol. If you can’t catch balls from Montana with sticky shit all over your gloves you don’t deserve to be in the NFL
It's not just your mind, there isn't anyone who comes close to LT.
JJ Williams Funny, because that stuff is banned and gloves aren’t. Also, isn’t Julio Jones already breaking Rice’s records?
JJ Williams Actually, Julio broke Rice’s record this year for fastest receiver to 12,000 yards. It took Julio only 125 games while it took Rice 142. He’s just better lol. Also, Rice openly admitted to using Stickum. Only people who know facts should be discussing this topic 🤷♂️
@JJ Williams You're trying way too hard to be condescending, friend. It only makes you look less reputable. If Julio had caught the passes you say he dropped, how much harder would he be owning Rice's records right now? He's already miles ahead of him. Rice played for a long time, that's it. Julio plays at a level Rice never reached and his stats are showing it
Giants offense was dogging the defense and LT still had the stamina to run 97 yards for a TD 👍🏼👍🏼👏🏽
From Steelers Nation, I 👑 Mr Lawrence Taylor the GOAT. JUST BLEW MY MIND THAT I WATCHED THE ENTIRE GAME THEN AND STILL GET THAT FEELING FROM THESE HIGHLIGHTS. Sorry not sorry for yelling lol.
must have been so awesome watching this live. im jealous
I remember very little about that game, but Taylor is the reason why I am a Giants fan
LT by far the greatest defensive player to ever play the game , it wasn't nothing he couldn't do . completely changed the game made offensive tackles very rich and outside linebackers .
There was a guy named Derrick Thomas that was game for game better than LT. We the fans lost Thomas way too soon
True that Thomas was gone way too soon but you have to be deluded if you think he was better than LT. The guy's run defense wasn't as well regarded as LT's and didn't have to deal with playing through two seasons that had been cut down by strikes which affected the sack total. He never was close to LT.
Spoken in truth....
Reggie white was way better he did all the same stuff and he was bigger than Lt .RIP the man reggie white greatest defensive player of all time
@@jamesaeasterwood HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The LT in Tecmo Bowl when he's excellent
I REMEMBER!!
He would knock out everyone and it was fun.
🤣
"It's almost impossible for an NFL player to take over a game."
Taylor: "Hold my cocaine."
🤣 🤣 🤣 fucking loved this comment,,, straight up....hell ov a drug
😳OH SHIT!!!! LOL!!! 😂🤣😂
John Madden and LT bring back great memories
He started the game on the sideline due to his *KNEE*, drives right over everyone from the moment he enters the game, and caps it with a 97 yard interception return
Jesus what a monster
Jeee, I wonder what "inspired" him to come in to this game. Lol
How funny Giants offesne hasn't chnaged a bit
nasir casso 3 Super Bowls since this game
GrayStarStudios wrong 4 super bowls since this game
nasir casso I'm a giants fan and I totally think that they're awesome but this comment still made me laugh 😂
They get even fewer field goals these days
Learn how to spell better and spell check more often!
My dad told me to watch football videos of James Harrison and Lawrence Taylor and i like it
Blew through 300lb linemen like the entire o line was a straw house
He ran that damn interception back like a Bob Hayes, or Adrian Peterson. Bro he was gone. Nobody close. 🙌🏼👏
And in the 4th quarter with a bum knee..
Undoubtedly the greatest defensive presence I've ever witnessed in over 30 years of watching pro football.
Reggie White was a monster hard to imagine what his numbers would be if he didn’t waste time in the USFL before going to Philly.
Went to over 100 games, at the old Giants Stadium. Even when they were horrible, they were still the greatest. And to get to watch LT, go through his career, is a high point in my life.
I miss my old Giants, all the time.
And only once, I was able to get LT's attention as the guys were walking back into the tunnel after brutalizing Seattle. I screamed, "YOU'RE THE FUCKING GREATEST, LAWRENCE!!!!" and he looked right me, with a smile and pointed a #1 finger at me. I'll never ever forget it. Beasley Reece was right next to him and he winked at me and gave me a thumbs up. Can't get any better than that, when you're 15 years old.
Thanksgiving '82. I was brought up as a GIANT (family tradition) I was a teenager then. L T was like a superhero brought to save BIG BLUE from the dismal '70s. We couldn't believe what we were seeing, leaping around the livingroom. A game we will never forget.
LT and Harry Carson. Damn what a pair. Love those years in the NFL.
Mark "Rambo" Bavaro. Best tight end EVER💪👍
Mark "RAMBO" Bavaro. Best tight end EVER
And for someone to compare Jj watt to a Legend 🙌🔥like this is inconceivable!!!!!
He’s in a different position. But I’d still consider him slightly comparable
As great ass JJ is, ( and he is great), to me he doesnt hold a candle to taylor
Jj has a ways to go. Reggie white on the other hand could hold his own against LT in the goat debate.
LT was one of the greatest defensive players of all time...
Make no mistake, the NFL is by and large a corrupt organization. Most large corporations are. And when the fix is in, there is almost nothing a player or a team on the field can do. But LT did it. He was never one of the NFL's poster children and never had the refs on his side, but he cut a bloody path through offenses for over a decade. Which was one Hell of a career given how nasty hits were back then.
And LT told the truth: about doping, about secret bounties, about secret fines, about hookers, and about the nasty underside of the No Fun League.
A lot of folks focus on the mess LT made of his life. It's a fair point. He apparently got look a the list of 'How To Screw Up Really Bad' and made it a bucket list. And he was the author of much of his own misfortune. There was a point where it seemed that LT had only two choices in life: the NFL or prison.
But nobody, NOBODY, who ever saw him play had any doubt that he was a once-in-a-generation talent in a vicious sport.
Wow.. great performance by a legend with a healing knee
I miss Madden calling Giants games. Greatest commentator ever.
Lawrence Taylor was so good Philadelphia Eagles coach Buddy Ryan once put a bounty him. They couldn't stop him.
Tracey Scott that was a HUGE mistake on their part!! Ask QB Ron Jawarski how that played out 😂😂😂
The definition of bad ass! Watching his clips always pumped me up before I hit the field
I love this great player many memories.
Best *Player* of all time...not just best LB
Him and Walter Payton are the two greatest players in NFL history
Luc Bousquette HELLYEA
Ah probably Jim Brown or Jerry Rice would win any polls for GOAT.
@Leo Dancor Brown played against a lot of non-athletes. Slow white dudes who pkayed hurt, & were 3 steps slow anyway. Taylor was the best ever, with Payton 2nd.
@Jake Shattuck Brady plays in an era where you can't even breathe on QB's. He wouldn't have survived 80's football. Players like LT would've beat him up.
My 2 Favorites
Thank you for bringing great stories around NFL, keep up good work :)
I feel So Blessed that as a Teenager. I got to see Lawrence Taylor "L.T." from his Rookie Season. All the way up to his retirement. And all that I can say about him is "Wow!!" That Man played Every Game as if it were his Last. He Really Played his heart out. And I don't believe they'll Ever be another like him again.

Just what I was thinking!
Coke can make any player into a pro bowler!
I was waiting to find this post on this video.
Bite your tongue, Rick James. I went to school with another of the greatest defensive players of all time, Bruce Smith. I saw him dominate college offenses like no other player I had ever seen, and he did it drug-free!
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
FvckWitDreDay no goat here
Derek Beck didn't you see the video?
@@brandenwebb6232 Greatest of all time AKA GOAT.
Watching NFL Films footage of this growing up, this was always one of my more favorite all time performances from a player. Lawrence really was the difference maker of this game.
I dont care if your not a giants fan, i dont even care if you dont like LT, you HAVE to respect his ability to absolutely seek and destroy. That man was virtually unstoppable
I remember watching this game as a kid at my grandmother's house. I have seen many great defensive players but none were as good as LT.
I'm glad I'm old enough to have seen him play..Tom Brady,Ray Lewis, Montana,Rice,Singletary were and are great but LT was the best I've ever watched
Sweetness belongs in that conversation as well..
Two words describe Lawrence Taylor. The best.
Greatest linebacker of all time no doubt.
Correction “Defensive Player” 😉
I hate the Giants but I have all the respect in the world for LT
how could anyone hate the giants?... they are the only team to win a superbowl in each of the last 4 decades and beat the tom bradies both times... plus they are from the awesome nyc that everyone wants to be a part of
it's like hating a rainbow made of snowflakes
@@notimportant3686 you'd be surprised. Every NFL fan talks mad shit about the Giants for some reason
AHHHH, 35 yrs later the giants still need one player to take over the game to get the win
I remember watching this game and thinking how could an injured player come in late in the first half, and make such a difference? It just defied all expectations to have someone dominate a game like that. The NFL would have otherwise wanted such a player on offense, not defense. So I think LT's impact is underrated because he did it on defense. And I ain't a NY Giants fan (Washington fan here).
THANK YOU!!!!
My boy LT and he’s the only LT you chargers fans or he’s the og LT
LB Lawrence Taylor.... 1(b). Greatest football PLAYER of all-time.
[ 1(a). is RB Jim Brown ]
#NYG4LIFE
Super enjoyed watching LT's magic on the field. This from a life long Chiefs guy!
Well done Mahomes for making improvisation a legitimate QB duty
in a way other QBs today can't.
But he still wouldn't stand a chance in those brutal 1980's!
The legend of LT lives on. A man among boys.
He is JJ Watt and Von Miller combined with steroids
Casey Hayward not steroids dumbass cocaine get it Right
Greg da cool one I think my statement is very valid
So true
+Casey Hayward Yeah without that steroids insinuation.
Shut it. If JJ wins another DPOY he will take the crown.
Great game by Taylor.....as a Steeler fan, I can count on one hand and think of only two games I've watched in the past 20 years or so that a defensive player won the game for them.....one was Rod Woodson....as I can't remember who they played, but he had an unbelievable game in which he made the impact for them to win the game....might have been Baltimore........the other game is a little more known by many with is James Harrison had an insane game on Monday night football and I believe that was also against Baltimore.....anyway, LT always made an impact when he was on the field....
Was a pleasure to watch that beast run wild.
There were Giants in those days.
On the field and in the booth.
Nothing better than Madden and Summerall.
"Sir Lawrence of the Meadowlands."- Tony Soprano
Taylor or Jim Brown best 2 players in NFL history, had biggest impacts
I watched Lawrence Taylor live back then, but I've only seen Jim Brown on film. Watching Taylor was a lot like watching Jim Brown in that you felt like you were seeing a grown man dominating a group of high school kids! Statistics are cool and all, but they will lie to you. I'm a cowboys fan and remember twice a year every year screaming at the cowboys on television to double team Taylor.
There are others in that conversation but I think just because of the terrible team he played on Barry Sanders has to be close to top of the list.
There's LT, Walter Peyton, then there's everyone else. Brown played against a lot.of non-athletes.
@@dme1016 You compare the players in the era's they played in and determine who dominated their era more than other era's.
@@GOOD-oc9kk Brown's era immediately knocks him down a few pegs. He played against just a few teams, with the same limited quality players, over & over. Many of those guys has no choice but to play hurt a lotta times. There's days, a young Brown would be worth maybe 47 yards per game, with 2 catches. Maybe.
That man made the N.F.L. tremble at home he roar on the road the other team fan's cried when he stepped on the feild...won of or the GREATEST ever "LT"....JUAN BX N.Y. GO BIG BLUE...
I partied with LT one time, he's the greatest person too. This guy makes you feel like his friend.
Uhmmm.... Saints vs Giants, LT breaks hand, still catches an interception and causes a fumble.
Imagine how good he really could've been had he even tried. Famously known for not training, for doing drugs and not liking to practice.
Wrong... He partied, yes, but he he was serious about practice and put in work in the film room. He didn't have to be a workout warrior.
@@tnewsome9121 you totally missed the point there. Not gonna even bother to explain.
Hands down the greatest defensive player ever!!!!! Arguably the best to ever lace them up! Such a dominant force!
Subbed and liked. Outstanding. Love me some LT!
LT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ray lewis
that is BEYOND not needing to be said...
Way better
And without murdering two people!
There wasn't an interception Gary Danielson didn't like.
In the 1 point loss to the 49ers in the playoffs in 1983, he threw 5 ints.

I remember watching this game growing up in New Jersey...I haven't Googled but I think we finished 3-13 that year....I'll look after this post....NY G-Men for life...
Ummm, the video states this season was the strike-shortened one where only 9 games were played AND shows they finished 4-5...did you even watch it?
Simply the best
My ex-husband played offensive guard for Bama under Ray Perkins because of LT!!!!
ROLL TIDE ROLL 🐘 🏈
the GREATEST...#G.O.A.T
INCREDIBLE
Even when Taylor hugs you in the end zone you feel his destructive power. 😂😂😂😂
I became a Giant fan in 79 because of L T.
Ray Cochones Hey, LT didn't home into the league until 1981, the same year another beast came into the league, Ronnie Lott.
He hadn't joined the team yet in 79. He was still in college (North Carolina).
The giants need to go back to having the bold GIANTS on there helments. Those look clean
As a lifelong Redskins fan ... I’m not ashamed to say LT was the greatest!
I'll never forget that there was a flag on the interception return, the Lions TE David Hill held the flag up in the air and waved at Taylor to "bring it back" while the crowd cheered....and then it turned out the penalty was on the Lions. Being a Lions fan has been brutal
Saying Taylor was great if not the greatest player period is like saying the sun is hot.
What about Barry Sanders, basically singlehandedly beating every team for every win in which he took part in? 😆
True lol
Gregz0r I'm a lions fan. No one. Gives lions credit for anything. If they ever made the Super Bowl they still wouldn't get credit
Don't get me wrong I think Barry Sanders is easily a top 3 back alltime maybe number 1, but for some reason the modern narrative about him is that he did it alone, and those lions teams had pro bowlers at nearly every level, including perennial pro bowlers like Herman Moore and Chris Spielman, but also guys like Lomas Brown, Bennie Blades, Jerry Ball, Those Lions teams were talented they just never had consistent enough Quarterback play and playoff caliber defenses could sell out on the run in the playoffs
Ty That's not true, I'm not even a lion's fan, but I'll give Barry Sanders credit. The Lion's organization is what fans hate, what they did to Barry Sanders.
OJspencer22 he would be #1 in all rushing stats had he A: played for a different team, or B: played longer even though he didn't want to
That is amazing! I didn't
know that.
What a absolutely beast of a man Lawrence Taylor was..No other linebacker in history is even in the same ballpark as LT. You could see the fear and panic on opposing players when they had to go against LT.. It's comparable to Mike Tyson in his prime. Everyone has a game plan untill you see Lawrence Taylor running full speed towards you with intentions of taking your head off .
