The Steelers era of football from 2007-2012 featured two of the most physical defenders in the league. Two guys who were willing to put their body on the line.
Some of these hits were in a different era of football, the transition to the defenseless receiver era.
James Harrison was a monster. Ryan Clark was a monster. Paired up they, put fear into opposing offenses.
I have a Heath Miller video in the works, so stick around! Videos coming all off-season!

When you see Ryan on television sometimes you forget how much of a savage he was on the field 😂
Correct, he seems so humble on TV, I had to check this man's highlights to see how savage he was on the field.
Completely agree 😂 my type of football player
Solid starter
@@louisb5766he gave some guys permanent head damage I’m sure 😅
Shiiiiit IYNYN
I ran into Ryan Clark in the airport. We were waiting for the same flight. In line I asked him which hit was better Welker or McGahee. Without missing a beat he said "well I don't remember the McGahee one. I was out too."
Happens all the time. We cant tell most times on TV.
@@rockabye_baby187 LMAO underrated
@@greatone275 no lie i didnt know clark was a hitter like that he seemed to be a bit suave as a player. Harrison we know was the real killer. Everyone knows he didnt give AF.
@@rockabye_baby187 Yeah, James was a killer but that int for a TD was the greatest play I've ever seen in a superbowl
@@greatone275 no doubt. That was a fantastic play.
How do they let Ryan Clark be a Sports personality when this man should be facing charges lmaoooo
Lmao😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
lol
Lol
Ryan Clark has always been underrated. That's why Polamalu was able to roam the field because he knew he had Clark back there dropping the hammer!! PS4L!!
I’ve been watching so much Ryan Clark on ESPN and he looks like such a nice and unassuming guy. He was a BEAST!
Left it all on the field!
Same thing I was thinking watching this.
***FOR ALL STEELER FANS***
ruclips.net/video/JqK72t9KkpE/видео.html
He made sure to hit someone on every single play. Even if the ball was nowhere in his area
Don’t let the smooth flavor fool you
When the Steelers had this defense, they were unbeatable. I’ve been a ravens fan forever and I know we had a scary defense but this Steelers defense was nothing less than legendary.
if it ain 2000 ravens def i dont wanna hear about it. any body can make dirty hard hits on defless wr WHERE THE PICKS FUMBLES AND CLEAN KO HITS?! steelers ain have nothin on mccalister ray and ed. all the of them hit hard AND got 6pts the other way. steelers? flag 15 yrd penalty repeat 1st down lmao
Those matchups during that era was the epitome of football
AHH THOSE GLORY DAYS !!!!!
@@MetaphysicalShaMan ravens defense couldn’t touch the Steelers d
@@MetaphysicalShaManman take this comment to the trash pls 😂😂😂
The RC hit on Wes Walker and Willis McGahee was scary!
I remember watching that game it was amazing...Long live Steelers nation...
Facts
I was in Foxboro for that game when RC lit up Welker! Crazy loud hit 😂😂
The scream Wes let out
I knew James Harrison was a beast, BUT I never knew Ryan Clark was that brutal! DAMN!!
Man he was as SO underrated!
Also, Ryan Clark was a clean hitter, for the most part... Harrison was dirty.. A cheapshot artist
Respect!
James Harrison is the hulk
Really...RC always brought the wood. Harrison was a beast and Goodell hated him.
Ryan Clark was underrated and a tackling machine🔥🔥🙏
weird tackling form but alright
@@JDMBOI7 Lol. He wasn't trying to tackle. He was making sure you didn't hold on to the catch.
100% when we got him I was skeptical, but then after watching him start, I was like, ok we good.
Those couple of years Pittsburgh had the best 2 safety's in the NFL with Troy and Ryan
Harrison took out Colt, Massaqio and Cribbs all in 1 game 😂😂. Dude was dangerous
Facts
James sent him back to the crib.
😂 damn bro really was different. Whole different era of football. As much as I hated the rule changes damn I understand even more now.
I still say James Harrison is the best Steelers linebacker since Jack Lambert. He was a monster on the field.
Harrison was a BEAST!
Some of the those hits were legal then. That’s exactly why I don’t watch this sissy league now. All the fun and excitement is gone.
I will add that Harrison and Lambert are the two greatest linebackers in team history.
Elliott Ellison Let's hold off until he wins a playoff game before we anoint him anything. He's 0-2.
@Elliott Ellison TJ is coming along just fine. He keeps it up and He'll join Drac and Death in that rarified circle.
Ryan Clark is the most bad ass safety ever. I really miss him, football hasn't been the same, I think football during that era was the best it ever was and will ever be.
He's not even the best Steelers safety though...lol and he's not better than Kam
He’s in the same realm as other big hitter safeties. Like bob sanders
@@oryafitch6he says bad ass not best
Brian dawkins would like a word.
We'll never see hits this brutal again. These two guys were in the last era that allowed total brutality. Young players today will never know how scary it was trying to play football when guys like Clark and Harrison were out there, allowed to hit players into next week.
Yeah and it's a good thing.
Gotta add palamalu hits too. He was vicious also, heck yeah
Kam Chancellor was the last of a dying breed.
@@thelaststylebender8215 no not like these Steelers and ravens team were of the early 2000s
The NFL just doesn't allow it anymore, every linebacker and safety was hitting like that....I've seen Patrick Willis almost kill a dude. 😆 🤣
Troy said a prayer when Clark hit welker 🤣
lol he didn't give a shit about welker, watch it again, he was angry at himself for not making the int
😂😂 he did though
I remember the two best safeties of the Steelers
@@theglassesriley8229 Clark was good one of my favorite Steelers but you must not know who Donnie Shell is
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Harrison is that guy you love to have on your team but hate to play against. He was never a flashy, super athletic player. He was a human wrecking ball.
Hit like a truck
He was super athletic!! That big and could drop back and cover and change directions and speeds built like a DE or even small DT. So yeah but no
Bro what… he was super athletic lmao what ??? Dude was super fast for his size.
@@SalesTaxin "for his size" yeah. Athletic is not just speed or quickness. Think LT, Micah Parsons, B. Sanders, Polamalu, Derrick Brooks, etc. Those folks are SUPER ATHLETIC. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing James. I'm complimenting him for being such a force with the tools that he had. His rise was legendary, but his fall was rapid, too. As soon as he lost a step, it was all over.
You should see his workout regimen today in his 40's. This guy lifts weights like he's still in the NFL.
I’m here bc Derrick Henry was talking shit
Me too lol
RC most definitely making the tackle like he said RC standing on business
Me three 😂
I'm here to say ryan Clark would definitely get ran over still... to little
Yooo me too!!
Seeing Deebo coming for you at full speed has to be one of the scariest things ever. It's the human equivalent of a rhino charge
When 92 hit you, you STAYED hit! He didn't want to tackle you...He wanted to make you part of the Landscape!
Facts
@@harrymiram6621 lmfao
Deebo? Not scared of a fucking wr coming at you
I miss football, it’s too bad it doesn’t exist anymore.
Those two were something else. Missing that aggressive nature they brought
Did you watch the video? Untalented, juiced up meatheads who could only hack it in the league by delivering dirty/illegal hits. Plain and simple. League is better off without them.
These youngins will never know how Violent a Pittsburgh vs Baltimore game was.💯
Games of Legend.
Ok gramps
@@TheHutchIsOn LOL but he is right young man.
@@TraceArmstrong-StrengthMMA I was just teasing haha. I’m 23 and have watched every Steelers game since 2012. So I’ve seen some incredible games between the two and the violence isnt a major factor in why they were entertaining.
I still love solid tackles and big clean hits, and I do agree that sometimes the roughing the passer calls really suck nowadays, but I still am happy we take some of the hits from this video a little more seriously nowadays
@@TheHutchIsOn Definitely a funny comment, had me laughing. Personally, I go back and watch 70s and 80s games. Clark reminds me of Ronnie Lott and Harrison is a more powerful version of Derek Thomas. I personally like to watch the 85 Bears and 76 Steelers, they were something else. Those days also had O who could give some nasty, violent contact like Earl Campbell. I'm a big fan of power RBs. was a big Alstott and of course Bettis Fan so I like battling ram RBs that can juke.
Love it! Ryan Clark was so under rated & a bit under appreciated by STEELER NATION. I'm glad he still has all his faculties....
Ryan was tha man! We had the best safeties. Clark hit like a strong safety!!!
I see ya Sméagol 😀 love those movies.
Ryan Clark and Harrison’s hardest hits; this video could have easily included Polamalu. Beastful defense
#25 rocked Willis so hard players on both sides stopped playing. The ball laid there for like five seconds. The ravens v Steelers game was the hardest hitting I’ve ever seen
Yes, but the Steelers v. Raiders games in the 70s were unbelievably brutal
@@mbrower3304 until this game..the 1975 AFC championship game was the most physical game I’d seen.
Ryan Clark was an assassin
Those two were madmen
Absolutely!
What they did to Vince young was underrated 😂
Vince clearly should have gone down in the interest of self preservation.
Assault that's what that was
I was looking for this comment. Can’t blame him if he was never the same after that.😂
It ok V Y still hung on to the ball😂😂😂😂 that's tough..
Man I still dk how that hit happened
Harrison used to make dudes regret their existence 😅
Opponents had to dbl check insurance policies when facing This Steel Curtain!
James Harrison was literally juggernaut
Love how 80% of the clips were against divisional opponents, shows how strong the rivalry was (and still is). They really hated each other and you can see it in the play
Troy and clark were the best safety duo of my lifetime. They would terrorize receivers in the secondary. Some of those years though the penalties probably cost the steelers playoff seeding. Patriots back then never got called for anything and got calls all the time.😡
Those were beautifully violent
People forget that he's the reason they came up w the Helmet to helmet rule. He was literally trynna kill mfs on the field lol
Lol that nigga was dirty .... you can even see the difference in the clips. RC had a lot of body shots. Harrison had the most vicious headshots...
Then when the rule came about he tried to come up with that “I don’t wanna go for legs” reply 😂😂 like fam you wasn’t out here wanting to body tackle. You’re a head hunter
Than ended Eric Decker playoffs same season
A lot of these hits were before everything went soft! So when the rules switch they didn’t want to change cuz they was so use to the old rules
Don't forget Burfict too. He was always head hunting.
@@davidlondon9242 i will never forget that juju block on him....
This is why in concussion protocol
.Dam! That was Hard Hits!!
Harrison is my all time favorite. Always looked mad as hell
I miss this Defense so much
That ball popped out of Ed reed hands like he was holding a bar of soap 😂😂
💀💀💀
Ed Reed got handled quite a few times. I enjoyed every one of them.. lol
That was a long night for Reed. Later Hines knocked him out.
James Harrison was / so bad ass definitely one of the absolute best in Steelers history!! Watching this reminds me of the defense we had
Im not a steelers fan but James Harrison is one of my all time favorite players
Never gets old... Miss those guys
Some people saying those hits were dirty, but damn, I still want those two on my team.
If were choosing fantasy team, Deebo Clark, Lambert, Blount, Polamalu, Ronnie Lott & Steve Atwater...would my picks for my starting D....
@@harrymiram6621 thats man slaughter lol
Back then they wasn't they are now tho
That's when football use to be football. Now I don't even watch it anymore, it was extremely exciting back then.
That hit on colt McCoy was absolutely legal and I wish they'd do it more. When a qb leaves the pocket he's fair game, bury him. If lamar wants to play option, I don't care if he pitches the ball or not, bury him. Hit these asses so hard they don't want to play Pittsburgh. I wish they'd hire Harrison for strength and lb coach. Get them fired up and pissed off again.
"When a qb leaves the pocket he's fair game, bury him. If lamar wants to play option, I don't care if he pitches the ball or not, bury him."
I have absolutely no problem with this. In fact we know Lamar and Cam is treated like that routinely. How many time have you seen Cam or Lamar get a RTP penalty? But if you even look at Brady or Peyton or Brees crosseyed you get a flag. Compare how Brady was protected in the SB compared to Mahommes. Touch Allen or Mayfield or Carr or Stafford and you get a flag. We all know what roughing the passer really means.
Damn that man RC was a true HITTER! Would never guess
This was one of the best videos I’ve seen of some steeler hitting 💪🏿
Appreciate it!! 🖤💛
James Harrison needs to be in HOF along in Pittsburgh ring of honor that guys a beast and played a long time
Ryan Clark was insane to watch. He would run so fast to these tackles, no wonder he also was injured in the mcgahee hit.
Some of my favorite plays
I love this team hitting back in the day. Also love watching browns players getting leveled for years, and years.
Miss that team so much
When it came to playing safety, Ryan Clark was Judge, Jury and Executioner. Also, it’s no coincidence that most of his biggest hits were against AFC North opponents. Those teams flat out hate each other. Especially BAL vs PITT, those games were absolute blood baths. The body bags were on standby.
Thanks for all the clips and videos
I came here because the derrick Henry Ryan Clark debate but the fact that a ryan Clark tackle reel has a disclaimer is INSANE 😂😂😂😂
RC is the definition of hit anybody that doesn’t have the same jersey on as you!!!
I love dem Steelers! Those were tha good ole days! 🙏🏾👏🏾😊
that last hit by harrison is so damn satisfying that is exactly how your taught to hit harf
Man, those two were tremendous. Harrison obviously was a beast, but Ryan Clark, did not throw caution to the wind, he went all out. Jeez. Great video!!
Boys were handing out neck breakers like gratuity 🤯 God bless all the victims in this highlight. Sheesh! Definitely nervousness about CTE for these brothers
Fr. I loved all that too. It just feels so... gross seeing some of these, especially the hit on Welker. Gladiator sports are violent but sometimes... idk.
Seen Ryan Clark a lot on tv and like his analyses . But that HIT in the pats game was so NASTY
2:35 those hits are so satisfying to watch, no one makes those kind of hits nowadays it's a lost art
Yeah but at the expense of at least 5 to ten years of welkers life. If he was trying to make a good play I would understand the hit. But that ball was no where near walker
What’s satisfying about a guy not looking getting brain damage? Never really understood the hype of hitting defenseless players. People get up and dance around like they won the Super Bowl after a dirty hit, ever if the receiver holds on to the ball for a first down.
When younger, these hits didn't bother me at all. Now I wince at every one.
Same. As you get older and learn more, it shakes you. I used to love the brutality of those hits. Now that I am in my 40s, ehhh not so much.
Hell yeah 💪 💛
James Harrison was a mad dog 😉 and Clark a very good free safety...with Polamalu a dream team.
Very good video👌 I like it!
Here we go STEELER NATION 💛
HERE WE GO!! 🖤💛
Harrison & Clark was terrorizing everybody........ DAMN. DAMN. DAMN.
After every Clark hit, you can see Troy say a quick prayer..
Lol I peeped that 😂
I met RC25 at an Super Bowl autograph signing party years ago with him and Mike Logan. I didn’t even recognize him at first because he’s so unassuming. Great guy, down to earth. We just talked about football for a while before he had to do his setup. I’m 5’8”, and I was lookin’ at this cat who was only and inch or two taller in person and it made me think I could play football. Then I saw Mike Logan…then I also remembered RC25 had the sickle cell issues that season (2007, I believe), so I came back to my senses. 😂
Miss this type of football
3:39
This is what gets me about modern NFL rules about personal fouls.
Once the NFL started flagging players for drilling receivers in the helmet because of newly discovered effects of head trauma, I thought, "Fair enough; let science have its say and adjust."
But that had to do with the *location* that you hit a receiver, not simply *how hard;* how hard you hit a receiver is fair game within the rules as far as I was concerned.
But in recent years, they've started throwing the flag almost out of reflex not just when it's helmet-to-helmet, but anytime it's just a "big hit." And that's what frustrates me, because it confirms my suspiscion that it's not just a minor adjustment about ONE aspect of tackling, not spiking a player head-to-head, but an aversion to the physicality of the game itself, and it's a slippery slope from there. Soon, it'll be that all ball carriers have to see you directly before you're allowed to tackle them or something stupid like that.
That's what leads us to the "defenseless receiver" rule. Suddenly, you're not asking players to NOT do something, i.e. take headshots, just like linemen can't hold or cut block and defenders can't horse collar, but also asking them to actively assume the receiver is defenseless and yield to them to catch the ball, which a matter that's supposed to be within fair play of the game and something the rules shouldn't touch.
For example, if you're a receiver running a post and I as the safety read the play perfectly and break on the ball, if I meet you at the point of contact with the ball and indiscriminately hit you like I would anybody else or to force the incompletion, it isn't my problem that you were "defenseless" any more than it would be if a linebacker snagged a running back just right from his blindside and made a big hit then.
They're only calling it because it's in the open field where it's graphic and obvious, but in my opinion, graphic and obvious shouldn't equal illegal. Yeah, the receiver is "defenseless" if he's expected to catch a ball for his team while not being able to brace for impact with a defender he knows is there, and he's doomed to get crunched, but you can't then penalize the defender for being at that place at that time to make a play or expect him to ASSUME anything. That would mean that a defender in position to make a hard hit and force an incompletion should instead stop his feet and allow the receiver to catch the ball, which in my opinion, would be a lopsided advantage for the offense. Every player has a right to the ball, right?
Not a fair rule in my opinion.
If anything, the league should hold their yellow flags and instead encourage offenses to put the ball in the right place where receivers AREN'T defenseless. Shouldn't the onus be on the offense to strategically put the ball where the defender ISN'T, not on the defender to yield to receivers when he's in the right position?
That's my two cents.
That was more then 2 cent lhh but great ending lol
Exactly why I don't like the NFL anymore I watch old games
Most entertaining video I watched after Barry highlights
Loved Harrison
The Ford truck
F-92
Total wrecking machine
Historically the Steelers have always been dirty and I love it! #PS4L
Dirty: HELL NO
Innovator: HELL YEAH
We the team with the most Rule Changes so we can Blame PIT for making the game as soft as it is today and yet they still smash mouth football
A lot of people forget how great James Harrison was as a special teamer when Joey Porter still was around and James wasn't a starter yet
That Wes Welker hit was BEEAAUUTTIIFFUUULL!!!
Man Ryan Clark!!! Very underrated, better than Polamalu in SOME ways, and man he could STICK!!!!
I used to get scared just watching James Harrison on T.V.! I can imagine what it was like playing him in person!
Boy I love watching Ryan Clark ESPN and i met James Harrison and he's intimidating and I met Ryan Clark and he seem nice but I heard about him he was a beast and Harrison shook my hand and grip it I thought my hand was shattered but long story short they both are beasts
This man laid people out!!!!
Spectacular video! That hit on Ed Reed is my favorite!
Thank you 🖤💛 That Ed Reed one has a special place in my heart. That game he was destroyed by Hines Ward too 😭
Any hard hit on any Ratbird, always warms my heart.
@@ethanrepine8862 lol y’all gon be last in the division next year
@@WorldOfWize Do I care?? Nope, until the Steelers fire Tomlin the Steelers are going to be trash. All I care about Steelers hitting Ratbirds real hard makes my day. Oh spoiler the Chiefs, Bills and the Patriots are all better than the Ratbirds. So don't expect the Ratbirds to get far into the playoffs or reach the SB anytime soon.
@@ethanrepine8862 long as we ahead of y’all sorry ass lol Pittsburgh chokers
All of Ryan Clark's hits are clean and hard. Never at the other player's head.
Steelers Defense needs to find this play again !!!! I miss this type of defense!!
Can't hit like that no more
I didn't know Ryan Clark laid the wood! Good Sh*t
Me either.
What a defense! Excited for the upcoming 2021 season!
Ryan clark in the cut thats a scary sight. Geeez!
Clark's hit on Welker at 2:20 was one of the most brutal hits I've ever seen in my life. I still remember when it happened live, and I seriously was impressed that Welker didn't exit the field in an ambulance. Just devastating.
The fact he walked that one off blew my mind
@@ItzYinzburgh he did but started hearing footsteps. Remember those two critical drops in the SB.
As a younger football fan watching old game footage gets crazier the older I get. I keep waiting for flags that never come.
this was the last era of true football. today's game is just an aggressive form of 2hand touch
Going over the middle back in the day was life threatening
Damn Harrison had 3 ko hits in one game poor browns he was dominating them that game.🎯💯🤣💪💪
R. C. And J. Harrison were the truth when it came to laying that wood on they AZZIZzz💥💛🖤
Poor Vince Young got slaughtered literally RIP dude 🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful. Just beautiful. GO STEELERS!!!
Awesome video!!!
Thank you! 🖤💛
I really miss those STEELERS GAMES #Fan4Life
I remember watching the hit that Ryan did to Willis live, I thought he killed that man, the pop coming from the speaker was insane.
He effed up McGahee so bad everybody stopped playing. It was like watching the scene of a car wreck.
I feel bad for anyone who wasn't watching football from 2008-2013.
The hit on Cruz by Clark that drew a flag was weak
i miss this god damn defense right here. lot of great years watching these guys do what they did.
Those were the days🙄 full speed football. It stunk for these 2 back with the rule change that they would get called even when it was clean hit to be made examples of.
Bring this hard hitting back please
Never happening
Some of those calls were ridiculous especially on Ryan Clark they were throwing flags and he wasn't even close to the helmet.
Make Football Great Again.
Back when the game was fun
