Lil Ryan Clarke story: I was a Bills fan growing up in the Buffalo area and I went to a preseason game against the Steelers when I was a little kid just really getting into football. My mom wanted to get us tickets behind the Bills bench so I could ask players for autographs but accidentally got them behind the Steelers chance. I wore all Bills gear to the game, but when we found out we were behind the Steelers bench, my Mom got me a little Steelers hat to try to get Steelers players autographs. The whole game I was asking Steelers players for autographs and none of them would. Towards the end I got Ryan Clarke’s attention and he signed the hat, the only player that did. I was so excited and I’ve been a fan since
Are you still a Bills fan? If not this is basically a story of a native Buffalo resident who was born and raised a Bills fan who jumped ship to the Steelers the first chance he got.
@@Nathan-ur2xv Seahawks jersey in the profile picture too
@@Nathan-ur2xv lol I was more so fan of football and the NFL, I liked the Seahawks and the Bills for different reasons. Wasn’t a Steelers fan but it was still cool to talk to a good NFL player and get his autograph 🤷♂️ sorry when I was like 9 I didn’t refuse out of loyalty 😂

“Kickers aren’t football players”...until they need you to make a game winning field goal.
I mean they are definitely important but they are playing a different game. But i suppose each player is doing something very different
Pretty much this. And to say that kickers have less stress, I wouldn't think so. They just have stress of a different kind. Instead of worrying a bit every play, they worry a lot on a single play.
@@bryanivyfilms They do... the kickers. There’s an unbelievable amount of work that goes into hitting a 50 yarder to win the game on a windy day
@@bryanivyfilms Your opinions are clearly well-considered. You should share them all the time. They impress everyone.

Lol man. This thing was so funny and they both right
"Yeah, well the jerk store called and they're running out of you!!"
It'd take you 5 months to think of that elementary level comeback? Lol
It doesn't even make sense. The list was started as an attempt to define what a football player was, which was in defense of some assinine claim that kickers aren't football players.

He was the lowest ranked safety by pff a few years. Take that how u will
@@emilegriffith1473 I don’t take pff serious
Why do people feel the need to take such hot takes all the time lol? Ryan Clark was average as a player. Just because you like him as an analyst doesn't change that...
@Nathaniel Baxter I'm a Steelers fan. You do realize he played with Troy, right? He was average, I promise.
If Clark was a 'beast' then so was Chris Hope...
@Nathaniel Baxter because all you need is average when you have Troy freakin' Polamalu all over the place lol. Don't get me wrong, Clark was a fine player. Not like he was Mike Mitchell or something.
I just can't stand how it's so common nowadays for people to change their opinion about how good/bad a player was just because they start to like them personally after their playing days are over.
But then again, we're talking about modern-day America, where people mistake their personal feelings for valid reasoning.....(not you, just in general lol)

Especially when they have such good chemistry and respect for eachother, that goes a long way on a show like this because it is entertaining and also gives you a break from all the seriousness that sometimes hurts a sports show.
"Have you ever tackled anyone, Ryan Clark?"
I once saw Ryan Clark hit a man so hard that reality glitched.
I'm still not convinced that Willis was 100% alive after that hit. Part of his soul was snatched FOR SURE.
RC was catching bodies on that field but that was the one time I think I legitimately saw someone die on the field. Made me happy I got put at safety and nickel corner not running back or receiver when I played.
@Dan N your point is moot...thats why they all said hit 👍🏻

This was way more funny than I thought it would be
Without 2 FG by his kicker Ryan Clark’s SB winning team loses to Arizona 23-21. Just saying.
Without kickers we still win though
how're you gonna take the kickers away from one team but not the other
@@rychmckenzie7881 Actually, without kickers the score would be 18-20, Cardinals win. Anyway you look at it, the kicker won them that SB. The math isn't hard, take away 6 for 2 FGs and 3 XPs from Pittsburgh. Take away 3 XPs from Arizona
@@onnak the maths isn't hard but what you have to take into account is the fact if we didn't have kickers the game of football would be different, we wouldn't kick a FG at the 1 (we were inside the 10 on both) and would likely score. Even if you don't want to make that projection its fairly obvious we play the 2nd half differently if we're only 6 points ahead.
@@rychmckenzie7881 No, no you dont.
“We gotta tackle Adrian Peterson...” man my body hurt just thinking about that.
That's like getting a car accident ON PURPOSE! Geez...
That was funny. Ryan’s comeback was golden. The person who doesn’t have to make a list. LOL
What does that mean? make a list?
I love it when Ryan Clark called out P-Mac's homeboys in the back for going "OOOOOOOOOOHHHHH"
Not really
I thought Ryan's comeback was weak. The "list" was only made since Ryan was ignorant to the fact that a kicker is a football player.
not really!
When they did the cut backs to the saying "ohhhhhhh" when Ryan called em out was the funniest shxt ever 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is now one of my new favorite Pat videos, because this whole video is just 100%, concentrated, undeniably Pat. If I were to introduce someone to Pat’s stuff, and I needed a video to show them what Pat McAfee is all about, I’d choose this video.
Well said
@@alexreadscomics6607 ^^
I love these type of debates. Solid points with fun and jokes. I'm tired of the yelling contest with no listening.
Sebastian Janikowski worked out with linebackers.
Kicker is the most Dangerous position in professional sports. They can can bring hundreds of thousands to their feet in victory and rip your heart out in defeat... all in a matter of seconds.
So can a punt returner
@@YaMamaBestFriend true, but statistically kickers can buy you a new car or make you homeless way more often than a returner can.
Bull rider.
I mean literally every position can do that. Hail Marys, Pick 6s, Fumble Returns, Sacks, and obviously scoring a TD, can bring hundreds of thousands (that feels like too many but whatever) to their feet in victory and 'rip your heart out in defeat...' as well.
Well I guess Punter doesn't really do that... unless he literally Punts the ball away while his team is losing by 1-6 pts, then the returner fumbles it, and the Punter recovers the ball on a bounce and outruns literal world-class sprinters to the end zone.
@@wyomingptt pinning someone on the 1 would be the punter equivalent but ling snapper doesn't have anything like that
If Ryan Clark was in the C-gap, Pat would have had a TD.
Cap
eh, he was a good player
Pat would have trucked him Marshawn Lynch style.
Woooaah. Woooaah. Ohhhh
Coming from a lifelong Steelers fan, y'all must've forgot who Ryan Clark was on the field...
Troy was a better playmaker, had better instincts, was faster, smarter and was a general freak of nature, but Ryan Clark was hands down more physical than most safeties in the entire league.
This is an insult to kickers smh we are people too

When Koo had more points in a season than the entire offense put together, he’s a real football player.
Pat has tackled, ran the football, passed a completion, scored, caused a turnover, recovered a turnover, and even blocked in the NFL. I think that makes him a football player.
And recovered an onside kick....that he himself kicked
@@samuelosborn294 that was most beautiful onside kick in history lol

The back and forth was awesome. 😂😂
The quiet “oh boy” at 5:28 hahaha
Almost like field position matters and the kickers decide that 🤷♂️
If you've never played, you'd be amazed at how much trash talk punters and kickers have to deal with. In college our kicker was All American, only guy on the team to get that accolade. Everyone respected him. But the punter was trash. He daily had to deal with people giving him crap about how he isn't an athlete and was only technically a football player.
Horrible team environment of course. Horrible team too. But that's the mentality on many teams. So yeah, your team may have been a brotherhood and the punter was one of the guys, but on a trash team with trash players, the punter/kicker gets it worse than anyone. Everyone needs a punching bag :/
I know that was supposed to sound smart but if you take a few seconds to think about that.... I mean.. literally every position on the team decides field position lol........
You've heard of receptions, rushes, sacks, INTs, fumbles and fumble recoveries, and punts right? All of those influence field position and arguably more than a kick off which is the only time a kicker has anything to do with field position. Maybe you meant Punters, but even still they can only do so much (if the Jets had the greatest Punter who ever lived, do you think their record would be much better than it currently is? I don't.) and even still that relies on an entire "return _team"_ a lot of the time to effectively work.
@@wyomingptt the potential start of every drive is decided by the kick, we saw recently the rams pin the bears down in there half over and over because of the field position, punters Kickers the if they don't produce a good kick it's a potential easy score or easy yards gained
@@LordSeth-hf8ew >the potential start of every drive is decided by the kick
No it's not, because turnovers.

I thought this discussion was gonna end up in Troy in the C gap
The more I watch Pat’s program the more I like it. Crazy this man took his position & platform. As a kicker with little attention in turned it into a legit Sports analysis program that is better then watching Skip, Sharpe, Stephen A, & Max cry all day.

Kudos to Ryan for not running away when confronted with a disagreement! Great show pat
Once upon a time, position players were punters and kickers. Lou Groza was an offensive lineman, Pat Summerall was a TE and in the days before the forward pass and a short time after, QB’s were also running backs.
As the game progressed and field position and scoring points from long distance became more important, the kickers became more of a specialty position. Hell, Mark Mosley was the last straight kicker in the league. Ever since Pete Gogolak came with soccer style kicking, kickers tend to be more former soccer players than position players.
When Ryan is talking about how they could never find a punter and Pat throws in “Pretty windy” 🤣🤣

That cornhole story had me crying😂😂😂😂
I love how Pat has his own squad in the back
The kicker is one of the most essential and most unappreciated positions imo. They may not have to physically exert themselves, but when in range you're team is still able to put points on the board when the offense has a unsuccessful drive. When either winning or tying a game comes down to the kicker (which often does) then he becomes the most important at that moment.....When the kick is good and you win, that is equivalent to winning a basketball game with a buzzer beater.
If he misses.........you have the entire team and fans pissed at you.
Other positions are able to screw up once and a while or a few times in a game.
But Kicker is not allowed that leniency.
And yes, the kicker has one Job.. and one job only...
It shouldn't take away from the necessity or make them any less of a team member.
Just look at nick folk this year. Patriots wouldn't be 8 and 4 with out him. He's kicked sooo many field goals already this year and has only missed 3 I think
Exactly.
We know the importance of a kicker because of how the game is constructed currently.
The point is the athletes who are in the NFL shouldn't be having to put their bodies on the line for some 5'6 135 lb chess player. You should have every player in the NFL have the same level of physical dedication. Name a sport where that doesn't apply?
@@socorio4100 So, why don't the "real" players just handle the kicking duties? If you get rid of the kickers, that's 2 more roster spots for "real" players. While we're at it, teach the center to long snap and eliminate the long snapper. That's 3 extra spots you can have. Oh, while you're at it, eliminate the return specialist, like a Devin Hester type.
Special teams are considered one of the 3 phases of a football game. So anyone playing in any of the 3 phases of a football game are considered football players. Don't like it, eliminate special teams.
@@dvs620 Did you miss where I said "how the game is currently constructed"? It appears you glossed over that completely and just repeated the same premise as the person who's comment I responded to
I absolutely would support getting rid of special teams. Less injuries to real football players (on kickoffs/punt coverage). There are many ways you can do this I would start the convo by saying just put the ball at the 25 after every score. 6 pts per td.
This doesn't effect the history of the game because nobody cares about kicking stats to begin with. The best kicker ever is going to retire in 3-5 years anyway
These two need their own show.
