    Agree he was an incredible player, and an immensely intimidating presence. But, the Thiesman hit is very unfair on him, the film cuts he waves to get the medical crew as you stated, yes he was intense, savage, his motor never stopped, possibly the best player at his position ever, certainly of his era. But Taylor was not an intentionally vicious or dirty player, he did not have a reputation for trying to seriously hurt his opponents beyond trying to hit them hard, within the rules, on the field. As to his partying and drug use, yes he was a party monster, but that period and the decades or so either side saw a lot of that sort of excess in US sport, Taylor was simply enough of a physical specimen and talented freak that it did not significantly slow him or impact his play.

      As a skins fan, I remember how panicked he was at the end of that play and how frantically he was calling their medics to the field. That’s when I got scared because the angle of the play that shows the break isn’t the angle we saw live. We didn’t know WTH had happened to him. We saw LTs reaction and freaked out. I loved LT after that, even though he was on a rival team.

    React to Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Ronnie Lott and Deion Sanders... all very significant & intimidating NFL players on the defensive side of the ball.
    LT is legendary because he changed the way offenses schemed to guard him because a single man could not block him.
    He is also one of only 2 players ever to win the MVP for the whole league in a season as a defensive player.
    A key factor in the NY Giants two championships in 1986 and 1990.

    LT wasn't abnormally big for the NFL (about 6'3, 260Lb) just big for his position (Linebackers are medium size players, almost as strong as the biggest guys while being almost as fast as the little guys) . But he was super fast like the fastest player in the NFL at his time .( clocked a 4.2 second 40yrd dash) And STRONG 💪....
    The fastest electronically timed player in NFL history is at 4.22 ... LT was clocked with a stop watch at 4.2 flat so its not "official" for historical purposes.

      @@SDSOne well it is just my opinion every one has a favorite, and to be completely fair every decade has a most intimidating player. In the 60s it was Dick Butkus the 70s probably someone from the steel curtain, such as Jack Lambert. 80s definitely LT 90s probably someone like Steve Atwater John Lynch Reggie White or maybe Bill Romanowski. 2000s Rey Lewis so on and so forth. For me I pick Dick Butkus because I feel in the 1960s the NFL had a lot fewer rules, there were quite a few combat veterans who served in Korea or Vietnam in this era as well. So to be as feared and as intimidating as he was in that era for me this puts him at the top. You of course can have a different pick/opinion/favorite. And if your pick is LT I can't blame you he was a truly amazing player and I do enjoy watching him play.

    There were player that could block Lawrence Taylor, Bubba Pais of the 49ers could block him in his initial few seasons, but his weight struggles ultimately ended his career, And Anthony Munoz of the Cincinatti Bengals could as well, the solution NFL coaches found was that Taylor could not push around 300+ lbs Linemen as much, and he struggled against Linemen with an arm reach longer than his. So from about 1990 on NFL coachs have been searching for the prototypical Left Tackle who is at least 6'6", with long arms for his height, weighs 320 lbs but can Riverdance. This is litterally the rarest combination of features in Sports. This is partly why Left Tackles are often among the top 5 highest paid players on a team.
    EDIT: I conflated Bubba Paris with Bubba Smith

      Butkus was the first HUGE LB, but has to take second because of speed. In fairness, he didn't play on good teams like LT. Lambert was probably the smartest MLB ever, and Nitschke was a great but IDK much about him other than he was very intimidating.. Butkus sticks out as the guy who had the least support, but was probably the most feared player all-time on an animal level. LT was a monster, but was feared more on a competitive level, because of inhuman athleticism. They didn't know what to do with a guy that powerful fast enough to run down the best RB's along the line of scrimmage. They didn't know how to block him, and Joe Gibbs more or less popularized the one back set because they couldn't block him with backs.
      LT made the FB a rarity when he played.

    Lawrence Taylor definitely redefined the role of the outside linebacker. He ushered the era of speedy linebackers who were good at getting to the quarterbacks (as opposed to stopping running plays or helping on pass defense). Taylor was good in all phases of the game but it was his ability to get to the quarterback that made him who he was.
    But there are obviously a lot of players who could lay claim to being the most intimidating. There aren't as many, however, whose talent and style of play opened up coach's eyes to new possibilities on how the game could be approached. Taylor was one of those players.

    Hey guys. Great job. There have been many other players that are considered to be candidates for most intimidating player. However, if you ask almost anyone who knows the game they would probably say LT was the best player at his position. An extreme combination of strength, speed and athletic ability. He once (when told he couldn't do it) picked up a football while standing on the sideline, and threw it up into the upper deck seats at the stadium. If you'd like to see a video about a player who was known for athleticism and speed and the greatest moves and agility, check out career highlights of a guy named Barry Sanders. He was a running back, and a defensive player once said that Barry could actually change direction when his feet were both off the ground. He couldn't of course, but it sure looked like it. Stay safe and well guys.

    In one of your other videos you mentioned how fans of NFL teams aren’t always from where the NFL team is. This is true for the NFL, teams have fans from everywhere. However you see more of the regional fandom in college. The fans for college teams are similar to how fans of soccer teams in England are, you usually live near where the team is located, and it’s something your born into. NFL is more fluid

    Keep in mind, the defensive coordinator for most, if not all, of LT's prime was Bill Belichick, current head coach of the NE Patriots and holder of SIX Super Bowl rings, including his few with the Giants of the 90's. One of Belichick's defensive playbooks, against the Buffalo Bills, is in the NFL Hall of Fame because of how efficient it was at dismantling one of the most powerful offenses in NFL history.

As one of the most well-known and brutal rivalries in sports history for a better part of over 90 years, both of these teams have won a combined 30 Stanley Cups. It was the wild growl of the Boston Garden, now TD Garden Arena, versus the formal reverence of the Montreal Forum, now Bell Centre. They are forever NHL RIVALS.

    That game against New Orleans? The injury he suffered and continued playing with was torn shoulder ligaments and a detached pectoral muscle. He also had a game vs Detroit in 1982 IIRC where he sat out the first half due to a knee injury. He came into the second half and more or less single handedly won the game for New York. At his peak he was more effective than virtually entire defensive teams.

He says, Yeah, Joe, how you doing?' I said, 'Not very well.' He says, 'Why?' I said, 'Well, you broke both bones in my leg, for crying out loud.'

    LT is the gold standard by which defensive football players are measured to this day.
    Not only was he physically gifted far beyond the norm of athletes who are already world class.... He was *relentless* , fearless, and ruthless. Later in his career, he played on some lackluster squads. The press conferences he delivered, mocking his teammates and coaches for their lack of effort, strategy, talent, and will to win, were legendary.
    Under normal circumstances, criticizing one's own teammates is a dick move. In LT's case, he definitely had the CV to justify every word.
    He is still living.
    For the record, 41 American beers are equal to thirty pints, plus three quarters of a 31st. Not an insignificant night's work. Taylor's battles with drugs and booze are well known and documented.

    Hey guys! Huge fan of your NFL/College football reaction series. I'm from the US and a HUGE football fan. I'm actually a writer for a blog that covers Alabama Crimson Tide (College) Athletics, mostly football. I'd love for you guys to do a reaction to College Football rivalries. Specifically, the Alabama vs. Auburn rivalry. There is a documentary called "Roll Tide, War Eagle" that I think perfectly captures the absolute viciousness of the rivalry. Many fans will claim that their rivalry is the craziest and, granted, they each have their moments, but do the other rivalries include fans who poison historical trees belonging to the rival university? Nope. The Alabama vs. Auburn rivalry has exactly that. Not exactly our best day, but it helps paint the picture of how crazy this rivalry really is. Both Universities are in the state of Alabama and reside only about 100 miles apart. A pretty short distance as far as the US goes. Football is a passion in Alabama and since there is not a professional (NFL) team to root for in the state, people pick which University they support. Even people who don't really care about sports pick either Alabama or Auburn to root for. You get mocked by both sides if you don't pick. When you meet somebody from outside the state of Alabama one of the first questions you will get asked is "Alabama or Auburn?" This rivalry is absolute insanity. As a matter of fact it is actually "Iron Bowl Week" this week. Yeah the rivalry game is called "The Iron Bowl", if that tells you anything. I'd love to answer any questions you have or further explain the rivalry if you'd like. Hope you guys get around to watching the documentary even if you don't do a reaction. Love your content!

He played with an attitude, as you all will see. When he was rushing the passer, if he got up under their shoulder, you were beat... A fact that many do not know is after the game was over L.T. was one of the first to go to the hospital to visit Joe Thiesman. Joe retired not long after that event... That was a nasty break and yes it was an accident.... Also L.T. made the NFL Hall of Fame....
