I worked with an officer that had been an undrafted free agent for the New York Giants in 84. He realized that he didn't want to play any more after the first time L.T. hit him. He told me that he was happy not to make the first cut in training camp.
@@satrialesporkstore7889A lot of it is timing. Ray Lewis got hit so hard as an offensive player he literally quit to never get hit again and only do the hitting . That guy should have switched to defense like Ray. 😂
Generations later people won't understand the level L.T. played on no real comparison let the ones who played against him tell u. No Cap L.T. is defensive GOAT
Lt probably had some chemical help when he was playing sorry to say.the redskins developed a play just for him i think they called it the counter gap with joe jacoby blocking lt.
He still holds the single season rushing record set back in 1984. People have come close and yes the game is more pass oriented but 38 years and nobody has ever done better.
You can just tell LT loved playing the game and he loved playing in front of people. He was a true BULL-DOG on the field, miss seeing this kind of player on SUNDAY.
LT was like playing a 250 lbs Tazmanian Devil, like the old cartoons. He would just spin and attack, keep coming at you, and he was on ALL the drugs! If you got in the way, you lose.
Yeah, very few players have literally changed the game, but LT was one of those guys. In 2022, it's common to see speed rushers, but in the late 80's when he came out, to see that combination of size and speed was unthinkable at the time. Former UNC Tarheel as well.
@@jaquevius he was unstoppable at his peak...teams planned around him(obviously you know that since you know his career)....there are lots of speed rushers now...LT had a sense of menace and anger as well...he was almost unhinged at times ....total intimadator...he also popularized the tomahawk chop to cause a turnover...others did it...LT mastered it
@@yankees29 exactly..one of those guys who prob didn't have to touch a weight , but he was the strongest guy on the field...genetic freak combined with being mentally fierce
Eric is a good storyteller. I believe there is a 30 for 30 about his SMU days. He tells the story but doesn’t give everything away. Smooth with his runs for a guy that tall.
This story coming from him is so amazing bcuz he was a terror with size speed and skill. He got 99 against that defense was amazing. Ed was averaging 100+ a game.
Well Lawrence Taylor would get into peoples heads. That was part of his strategy, in fact what he said to Eric after the game solidifies that. Taylor is by far the best defensive player in football history in fact whoever is second is a distant second. His first step and first 5 steps were way faster than any other linebacker I can think of.
I'm a cowboy fan and if I had first pick in an all time team draft I'm takin LT number 1 every day of the week and twice on sunday all I need on defense is LT and Ronnie Lott lol
oooh. I like this. LT, Ronnie Lot, and Reggie White on the same defense? Give me Ray Lewis or another great linebacker, and we never lose....because we would injure every offensive weapon you have lol
The thing that always blew my mind about LT was that not just the utter and complete domination of other NFL players (the best players in the world at their sport, the upper echelon of athletes on the planet, some of the hardest working, most dedicated guys around), but the fact that he really didn't work out. Never lifted weights or any of that. He just showed up and killed people week after week. Off the charts with physical gifts coupled with unbeliebable tenacity, competitive drive, and murderous intent. I mean, Bo Jackson was probably the guy on the other side of the ball with the greatest athletic gifts, but at least he'd work out to develop them. LT? Nah...none of that.
I met LT in Chicago asked him what his bench was he replied, I forgot, and then he thought about for a few seconds, apologized for not knowing off hand, and responded 485 lb!!!
I just made the same analogy to Bo Jackson and I see you’d already done the same. However, Bo didn’t really work a great deal at any sport as he played football, baseball & ran track and never spent an off-season prepping for either sport as he was busy competing in the other 2. Bo was a naturally gifted freak.
Great video. Love LT as a Bayonne guy hanging out at his place on 17, and talking to him on Sundays at Joey’s place in Clifton. Dickerson was my favorite-was a Rams fan back then.
True story. 10 years ago, I was at this lounge in Richmond, Va. I'm sitting at the bar, an I see LT exiting the bathroom. My eyes light up and he walks right by me. I say, "what up LT. You look like you can still play." He looks at me and says, "Man fck you!!" So, im like, "damn LT, I didn't mean any harm." He then smiles. An I ask, "can I get a pic with you?" That smile then went back to a stern look. And he says, "Yeah. MF!! 😂😂😂😂
I’m 50 years old, grew up in New York, watched L.T. His entire career and to this very second I haven’t seen or heard an over all better player in terms of defense. Just the mere mention of his name anywhere not only in New York sends chills down your spine. Speechless to this day. Scary talent one in a trillion
I'm about the same. Almost 50 and also grew up in NY watching LT. In an effort to create content, commentary, or whatever...people always try to break down to the lowest possible granule "the best left outside LB to come from a school in the mountain time zone..." just so they can give some kudos. But there is no additional descriptor necessary with him. LT is THE greatest Defensive Player ever, no matter the position. End of conversation. And in my opinion...nobody else is really even close.
@@johnmartin9894 you are posting my exact thoughts. I have posted the same. Guys who have only seen highlights but never saw Taylor play entire games/seasons will never appreciate how great Taylor was. Any great LB/DE can make a highlight reel. LT was more than that, LT took over games and shut down teams. Run, Pass rush, pass coverage. Dude was completely dominant in all aspects of the game even on special teams. I bet if they put an 80 number on him he would have been an all pro TE.
I could be wrong, but I don't think anyone had any idea of just how dominate LT would be at the next level. I remember watching him the first 2-3 seasons of his career and he was must see tv. Defenders before him; Ray Nitschke, Dick Butkus, "Night Train", "The Deacon", Jack Lambert, "Mean Joe" Green and basically the Steelers entire defense and the criminally insane Raiders defense 😂 plus the scariest defense ever in the Bears for which he played in the same era with, but LT came along when the league was primetime all the time. He was as mean and nasty as all of these dudes put together plus the best athletic on the field regardless of position on any given Sunday. LT was the first defender I ever saw consistently chase a play from the opposite side of the field. Players like Eric Dickerson, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders all hall of famers and two of which rushed for over 2,000 and Walter Payton ran for over 3,000 yards. Walter Payton, "the only man who could turn a 6 yard loss into something spectacular!" 😂He not only out ran his teammates, he had the juice to finish the play with ferocity and the Giants had a top notch defense without LT. Best LT line, "son ya'll gonna have to do better than this!"
I really know nothing about football, I'm just here to say that man has an amazing voice. He should read books on tape or something. I could listen to that voice for hours.
I was stationed at Ft Hood from 77 to 79, and I always remember watching the Texas high school football highlights on TV and remember seeing Eric Dickerson for the first time playing for Sealy High, he was a monster and fast forward he gets drafted by the Rams who were playing in Anaheim at the time and I was at almost every game during his time with the Rams. Eric is probably one of the greatest running backs that ever played the game and we also share the same birthday, 9/2 but I got him by a year😎
Uhh... Talking bout smoothest RB's in the NFL. Did you forget about the great Walter Payton who played along side these other great RB's back in the day my friend? No disrespect to Eric but there's a few good reason why Walter's nickname was "Sweetness." It wasn't only Payton's beautiful demeanor as a man that he was off the field that made people call him Sweetness. It was also the way he moved so smooth & graceful like a Russian ballerina dancing on stage. Just saying... Let's keep it a buck here, cool? 🤔😉
Wow! A funny story. I was in the 4th grade when Dickerson joined the Rams, but I already knew who LT was (living in the DC area…the old NFC East). LT was like the Giant that ate everything in his path. I didn’t realize at the time that Eric Dickerson was actually BIGGER than LT, but it definitely didn’t matter…especially not to Dickerson!!! That’s some serious intimidation when a guy the size and with the athleticism of Eric Dickerson is goin’, “I can’t block no Lawrence Taylor!!!” Seriously, LT is THE most dominant player I’ve seen in my lifetime. No one else is close (and that includes a whole lot of EXCEPTIONAL defenders). He was the one defender in my lifetime who caused opposed teams to build their whole offensive strategy around neutralizing HIM…because he could dictate the ENTIRE ebb and flow of the game BY HIMSELF!
People are comparing Parsons to LT! No way, no how! He's played one season and 4 games! I'm a Cowboys fan and I think Parsons is going to be a special player but, QUIT comparing him to the greatest linebacker of ALL TIME!
Eric said it. Tenacity. LT could run from one side of the field to the other to make a tackle, then do that 50 or 60 more times in a game .He didn't always get there, but he had everyone looking out for him every play.
I grew up in NY and I was a huge LT fan. The giants were the first time I remember being a fan of as a kid. I used to love watching them play on Sunday.
The only other players I saw play with around his level of tenacity consistently at a high level was Ray Lewis, maybe Brian Dawkins with those early 2000’s philly teams. Those are just two that jump to my mind when I think defense. On offense even though he wasn’t an all time great I thought Steve Smith played WR in the same spirit LT and those other guys I mentioned played defense. All dogs
Saw Eric Dickerson play in Angel Stadium many times. Thing about him was that at 3 steps he was at full speed and man he was fast. Big, fast, powerful.
I am 80 years old, white woman who has always, always loved/loves football. This is early 80's, no streaming, watch whatever games are being played. Giants vs who knows. I see LT for the 1st time. Never had I seen Man that big move so fast in all my years of watching football. Gotta be a one off, no one that big and strong can move that fast. LT could and did. Thank you Mr. Taylor, for all the games I watched you play in. See Joe Montana and the 9ers was number 1, cause I love Joe, watching LT was number 2. Strange thing, except for Stabler and the Raiders never was a team person. I always went for a person on a team and they were mine. Today, I love Pat Mahomes, he is just such a mover. Brady had a good arm, won a lot of Superbowls, just don't know why I don't like him.
It still blows me away the Los Angeles Rams trading Eric Dickerson. I never understood that. When they played in the 1989 NFC championship Dickerson was their missing peace I truly believe they would’ve gone to the Super Bowl.
Well, he definitely would've helped, but nobody was beating the 49ers (17-2) that year. That was a bad ass crew. Defeated MIN 41-13, LAR 30-3, and DEN 55-10.
Mark rypien once said hed get nervous when they(redskins) had to play the giants.hed get sick to his stomach with anxiety. He said LT once told him hed rip his head off and that he was dead man. LT struck fear in his opponents and he backed it up nearly every play.
Man I love all the conversations on here ….Look any kid with any speed wanted to be Eric Dickerson … The deal is and he probably doesn’t give a shit because I wouldn’t either …. But he ran like no other … I am. Bo Jackson fan as well as a John Riggins fan …… But I promise you … no one ran like Eric man …. Love the guy for the work …. Thank you for the show man

“Mr Taylor”
😅😅👍
Eric Dickerson was alway one of my all time favorite players. I loved to watch him glide as he cut through the defense. Amazing to watch.
SOUNDS CRAZY.....but one of the most underrated RB's... he was a homerun hitter
Watching him run was like watching someone run on air. He was smooth
@@the5-starreview871 Big Time smoooooth
Like a gazelle
Me, too. It was like he "galloped " while running. He ran with his knees high. I also liked to watch Roger Craig run.
He also ran with "high knees." 🙂
I couldn't stop laughing when Eric Dickerson said "and it was my birthday"& Mr. Spikes says " oh, lord". I can't stop laughing!!
A legend speaking about a legend.
I love how he called LT, "Mr Taylor" 😂😂😂😂
You can just tell LT loved playing the game and he loved playing in front of people. He was a true BULL-DOG on the field, miss seeing this kind of player on SUNDAY.
There's not many players that other players literally feared playing against.
It was a treat to watch him as both a Giants fan as well as a fan of the sport. He was literally Superman out there playing with mortals.
LT was like playing a 250 lbs Tazmanian Devil, like the old cartoons.
He would just spin and attack, keep coming at you, and he was on ALL the drugs!
If you got in the way, you lose.
Brother ALL OF THEM? Say less, I've done my fair share but this alone shows that LT is a scary man lol
important to note...Even though ED was a running back in the early 80s as a rookie...he was 6'3 and over 200 lbs....LT was a complete monster

He's on the short list, and that's saying A LOT. He's probably the greatest defensive player ever... and I'm a JETS fan!
Lawrence Taylor’s unmatched level of play absolutely elevated the play of the entire team which gave them a Super Bowl .
Eric’s first 2 seasons ⭐️⭐️ WILL NEVER BE MATCHED ⚡️

LT on field was crazy possessed. Alas do same way. Can't mess with crazy
I saw some of the Giants / Rams playoff game where LT was a heat seeking missle going after Dickerson. Maniac.
Like everything, The NFL’s pinnacle was the 1980’s!
Lions fan here and LT was without question, the greatest defensive player ever!
Whatever amount of respect due to Barry, so be it. But when it comes to running backs this is my dude right here.
One legend talking about another legend. You have to love it. LT was terrifying.
Lt got through the line everytime
"He was that good"....Great story
The only other players I saw play with around his level of tenacity consistently at a high level was Ray Lewis, maybe Brian Dawkins with those early 2000’s philly teams. Those are just two that jump to my mind when I think defense. On offense even though he wasn’t an all time great I thought Steve Smith played WR in the same spirit LT and those other guys I mentioned played defense. All dogs

Aww man this shit got my stomach hurting 😂😂😂😂😂
Saw Eric Dickerson play in Angel Stadium many times. Thing about him was that at 3 steps he was at full speed and man he was fast. Big, fast, powerful.
I am 80 years old, white woman who has always, always loved/loves football. This is early 80's, no streaming, watch whatever games are being played. Giants vs who knows. I see LT for the 1st time. Never had I seen Man that big move so fast in all my years of watching football. Gotta be a one off, no one that big and strong can move that fast. LT could and did. Thank you Mr. Taylor, for all the games I watched you play in. See Joe Montana and the 9ers was number 1, cause I love Joe, watching LT was number 2. Strange thing, except for Stabler and the Raiders never was a team person. I always went for a person on a team and they were mine. Today, I love Pat Mahomes, he is just such a mover. Brady had a good arm, won a lot of Superbowls, just don't know why I don't like him.
ED made a wise business decision. Lol
hahaha definitely did!
"And it's my birthday!" 😂
Lawrence Taylor was the greatest player I ever saw. Period
LT was and is the greatest football player ever.
LT could dominate any era in football 🏈 Greatest Linebacker Of All Time
ED had arguably the best rookie season of all time!
LT had a little boost every game. ❄️
It still blows me away the Los Angeles Rams trading Eric Dickerson. I never understood that. When they played in the 1989 NFC championship Dickerson was their missing peace I truly believe they would’ve gone to the Super Bowl.
Well, he definitely would've helped, but nobody was beating the 49ers (17-2) that year. That was a bad ass crew. Defeated MIN 41-13, LAR 30-3, and DEN 55-10.
'LT is one of the few guys who says "I'm gonna kill you" on a football field and you actually think he might do it
Mark rypien once said hed get nervous when they(redskins) had to play the giants.hed get sick to his stomach with anxiety. He said LT once told him hed rip his head off and that he was dead man. LT struck fear in his opponents and he backed it up nearly every play.
Man I love all the conversations on here ….Look any kid with any speed wanted to be Eric Dickerson … The deal is and he probably doesn’t give a shit because I wouldn’t either …. But he ran like no other … I am. Bo Jackson fan as well as a John Riggins fan …… But I promise you … no one ran like Eric man …. Love the guy for the work …. Thank you for the show man
"Eric! Hey man NO!" 😅😅😅😅
Lol he’s still nervous talking about it after all these years.
My number one running back mr calm cool perfection a real true gentle man.
Eric Dickerson and Craig James..."The pony express." 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Real Football 🏈🏈
A lot of people do not know but
Eric Dickerson's nickname is
The Pony Express SMU 🐎🐎🐎
91 yards on 31 carries. He made him work for it.
And there probably wasn’t but their probably a few I might though out their Wilber Marshall being one of them.
LT was an absolute beast!!
Man LT was scary in any given Sunday
I have never seen a better player than Lawrence Taylor, regardless of position.
