John Lynch had the best explaination....he tackled people like he was trying to tackle someone right behind them.
That's how you punch. Pretend like you're hitting a target behind the real target.
Also a good cue for a double-leg.
This is about Ronnie Lott !!! You people can go on youtube and watch John Lynch Highlights 💯 John Lynch did not change the game with his position ronnie lott changed the game in his 💯
@jaybeswick9062 Ronnie is easily the greatest db/safety of all time but he didn't change the game he didnt cause the nfl to change the rules like Mel blount or Jack tatum. That doesn't make him less of a player but he didn't change the game.
@@jaybeswick9062 ?? Ok? John Lynch was still damn amazing and hit hard af. People can comment about anything they feel. Ill talk about motorcycles too if i want.
Lott was a Clean player. His hits were legal. He did not spear like many others that came after. He was a shoulder first player. Best that ever was at Safety.
I agree. An all-pro at CB, SS, and FS. Only man to do that.
@@yeildo1492To be fair, Strong Safety and Free Safety were entirely interchangeable at the time. Depending on the Game, either Safety would be listed at either position.
Honestly. He's Top 5 for sure and changed the Position, but there are Safeties he influenced that were better. Ed Reed was a better Pure Safety. Polamalu was a better Strong Safety. Sean Taylor was the Second Coming but Stronger, Faster, and more Skilled...
Lott isn't the Best Ever, but he did define the position and evolve it to where it is now.
@@justinlast2lastharder749ma'am you are completely wrong. Ronnie Lott is the soul and embodiment of real football. You better get in the kitchen and get that grub made
Fun fact: That goal line stand was done with 10 Niners on the field.
Coaching in an all-star game I was lucky enough to meet Lott. He has the presence of a 5 star general. He passed his rings around the players and he told them "If you are thinking of taking one, remember that I have one good hit left in me!"
The kids loved him. Hell, we all did.
Met Lott and Dickerson at a Pro Bowl party in Hawaii decades ago. Friend played for 49ers in 82'..Dan Audick. Good people
Wow these manning shows are incredible he's interviewing legends back to back to back to back
lol Peyton at the beginning: "my sign said 'I will not be hit this season' I don't think the offensive line got that" 😆😂
Absolute legend. Every faithful knows Ronnie’s contribution. He is long from forgotten.
Ronnie is one tough SOB! He's one of the greatest to do it without a doubt. Dude was a missile
Ronnie Lott will always be 1 of the greatest safeties in the NFL ever. I think the late Sean Taylor was the only one who could have been like him on the field
"Has pinky swearing become and issue?" Peyton quick wit gold, imagine being at the dinner table with the Mannings, what a gift experience that would be :)
As a Giants' fan, one who's personally seen some great defenses throughout the years, you've got to appreciate Ronnie Lott as one of the all-time greats.
++ As a Fellow Giants Fan who has ALSO seen a lotta great defenses, btw, LT is the greatest Defensive player EVER puriod! Aye listen 42…Dat BOY SURIUS!! Greatest Safety AAND Hardest hitter of all time ya shmell it! ++
@@elijahharkless5770 ill take reggie white over lt
@@fuckgoogle9061 Why? Cuz of him, JB and Joyner?
@@fuckgoogle9061 All dem babies shoulda gotta RANG TOGETHA ++
Nah gotta love LT. But Dammm I hated the 49'rs but Lott total respect. Great interview Payton
As a Giants fan since 1971, I got to witness much of the punishment Lott dished out. He definitely was a force to be reckoned with.
Ronnie Lott is the reason I can never hate the 9ers. I respect him that much.
I love these conversations with Peyton Manning and whoever. He's sharp, quick-witted, respectful, and good at creating a peer vibe while holding up the other person as the star of the conversation. This should be any interviewer's job, but it's a rare skill and Manning is really good at it.

@@DeepThinkingGPU ahh, thanks… Journalism’s job is different, namely to get important information to the public and hold people in power accountable, not holding ANYONE up as a “star.”
@@DanielBarberMusic I weep for the state of legacy media
I watched this journalist investigating fraudulent parking spots in Arizona.... I was like, "God, THIS is what journalism is supposed to be"
Underrated comment
Ronnie Lott, Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Bill Walsh, 49er recipe for greatness
49er fan since 81' you can't even understand. lol pure greatness
That 1984 49ers defense definitely doesnt get enough credit. They played three playoff games that year and didn't give up a single point in the 2nd half in any of them.
In fact they gave up only one offensive touchdown the entire playoffs, which is the same amount the 1985 Bears did.
Amazing performance that's sadly overlooked.
I didn’t overlook it. They were also, one of the greatest teams of all times.
Nice to see Lott and the 49er Defense get more credit. Walsh owes a huge part of his success to Seifert, the most underrated coach ever. In 81 he was the DB coach that had four rookies, and three went to the Pro Bowl. Lott was a CB, not a safety then. Then as the video says, the 49er Defense had an amazing run in big games, with Seifert as DC or HC. As head coach, BTW, the 49ers has the two of the greatest offense showings ever, with two different QBs and Seifert as the HC, not Walsh.
Ronnie Lott is the Godfather of Safety's
People like to say Prime was the best DB to ever do it, but I always say it’s this man. He was the reason the dynasty started not Montana or Rice. The man made the pro bowl at every DB position. Beast!!
That’s 💯. As much as I loved Joe, Dwight, Jerry, Roger and later on Steve, this man was the heart & soul and the rock of the team. He played CB, SS and FS at the highest level.
Prime is the best. That doesn't take away from how awesome Lott was.
Two different styles and positions. Ronnie was a run stopper who’d close and knock the ball out of the receivers hands to cause an incompletion. Prime was the best one on one cornerback who shutdown one side of the field. Ronnie provided the safety help over the top to go along with his toughness. You didn’t need a safety over the top to protect Prime getting burned and you’d have a safety freed up to put in the box or help if the team had a mismatch at TE. Ronnie was the best safety. Prime was the best cornerback and punt returner.
@@bradmyers5354 but Ronnie was also a lock down corner when he played that position. He is too close to Prime in interceptions to say he wasn’t as good. You actually proved my point because we know Prime couldn’t play strong safety.
I might lean toward Ed Reed as the best secondary player ever. He made so many key plays they ran out of locks.
I love watching two different eras of football talking about the sport they love. The new generation needs this.
I am glad people realize that Icky was running all over the 9ers - until that hit. Then he was quiet the rest of the game.
Steve Atwater’s hit on Christian Okoye was one of the hardest hits heard by everyone at home and changed Okoye’s career
The old clips took me back to a happy place where the refs didnt flag every hit then huddle to decided if it should be a penalty...
@wcmike takes me back to when players uniforms had real sleeves
Ah....back when I watched football
Unfortunately humans have brains and getting the crap knocked out of them causes CTE.
Yeah? Is that what you came to this video to do? Talk about that?
@@Cjones322 well yes the old school players have CTE, but at least when they played, while they were experiencing permanent brain 🧠 damage, they hit harder than today.
Lott was absolutely the hardest hitter in the game. Ask those he hit and they'll tell you. Pure fury in every hit. Look at him in this video, he's 64 and still angry! Love it!!
Cool video. Defense in the 1980s was lights out! San Fran with Lott, the Giants with LT, the Redskins with Manley and of course the 85 Bears! WOW what a decade 💪🏈🔥
All those memories! Thanks Payton! Thanks Ronnie!
I love these interviews! Peyton is so good!
"Ronnie Lott didn't hit people, he ended them" Steve Young.
This is the greatest era of football. Smash mouth that is. Now I was a HUGE fan of the 90s game though. Farve and Montana Young, Cunningham, then put in Vick! Comon! Glory years of the gridiron! Manning, I could go on and on and on, omg Chuck the middle missile Cicel, it was like candy! Now? The game blows. Oh and I love Ronnie Lott and I’m a GreenBay Fan.
Glad he mentioned the term "woooo hit"....lott is synonymous with it!
When kids come over to my house on Halloween, I also pull out just the tip to show them. Goes over great with the parents.
Uncle paul??
Great video! The interview was amazing, as well as the editing! Great job!
My two favorite defensive players when I was a kid were Ronnie Lott and Steve Atwater.
I'm a Broncos fan and I loved watching Lott and Atwater hits . Who could forget the Atwater hit on the Nigerian Nightmare.
And Lott's hits are legal even by todays rules. He was a beast!
Nah, at least half of those would’ve been flagged, head chest and shoulders are all flagged now
Allegedly
@@Jasper118 sadly, you're absolutely right. Football is waay different today. Pretty soon, the players won't even need to wear pads- just a little flag tucked in their pants.
This man also took it upon himself to educate incoming NFL players how to take care of their finances so they wouldn't end up broke AF after their careers ended which unfortunately happened to many players. Ronnie Lott is not just a Legend of a player. He's a legend of a man!
If only we could get those days back, no doubt I will always love my 49ers forever and the 2012, 2019, 2021 & 2022 season will have a place in my heart, but, if we could go back to that 80s dynasty one more time, just one more time... the 1994 super bowl was my first championship that I've seen my franchise win, but I hope it won't be my last. Ronnie Lott the G.O.A T. #GONINERS #DESTINEDFORSIX #FOREVERFAITHFUL
exactly fuckyeamyboiiii
Your 2012 team was 🔥🔥
Mr. Ronnie Lott is one of the Top 3, if not the best, safeties to ever lace 'em up, along with Kenny Easley and Ed Reed. One bad MFer!
…..Ronnie Lott the beast and question “is it the shoes?!”
Watched Ronnie at USC and then my niners. One of the all time greats for sure.
"Guy plays on a broken leg? Nah, my pinky ain't stopping me. Cut it off, coach" --- Lott
Lott is one of those players that makes me think of Tecmo Super Bowl. Just Awesome.
"Has pinky swearing been difficult?"...Lol #toofunny😜
Defenses are underrated for their importance
Met ronnie last yr and he was awesome. Got his autograph added to my jerry rice joe montana helmet
I ved watched a lot of great football since the sixties!😊🏈👍🏈
Peyton you are as awesome as always
Amazing thanks Peyton
I remember watching Lott when I was 4 with my pops. Game changer
@LaFreedomMFer do you still watch with your Pops
@@ObamaFromKenya yes luckily
The most underrated thing about those Bill Walsh 49ers teams was there physicality. They tackled and blocked as well as any of the teams we thought of us physical.
The moment where Payton points out Ronnie's fancy shoes was sweet.
This was back when it was legal to use your head and helmet as a weapon, different era. Lott is a straight legend
Arguably, Ronnie Lott is the hardest hitting player pound per pound the NFL has every seen.
FYI Marcus Allen and Ronnie Lott were roommates in college. Who would of thought both of them would be rightfully so in the Hall of Fame!
I like how Lott is laughing and shaking his head when Peyton is talking about the lore of his finger. There have been so many different versions of how Ronnie dealt with that finger than I'm sure he can't help but just laugh when he hears them now.
I love this stuff. Just greatness all around
First time this channel popped up in my recommendations.
I'm so happy it did!
I'm a new subscriber here!
8:22 “We pull out the tip, and let kids see that. They say “oh look!” 😂😂😂that was wild
1:22 “Gotta give ‘em a woo lick!” 😂💀
Hearing Peyton reference the Assasin himself, Jack Tatum is awesome! The Autumn Wind is a Raider.
RAAAAAIIIDDDDDEEERRRSSSS🤟
This was great
Lawerence Taylor and Ronnie Lott are and for me will be in my humble opinion the hardest hitters ever!!! All due praise to Patton Manning, for having him on. 👏👏🙏🙏
Ronnie lot was a stud
Ronnie Lott should be the logo of NFL.
How good were the 80s 49ers? Arguably had 3 of the top 10 players of ALL TIME! Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, … and Ronnie Freakin’ Lott!
It just occurred to me that the SF/Miami superbowl in 1984 was foreshadowing for Peyton's own disastrous outing against Seattle a few decades later. Great offense meeting a great defense. And the defense just having their way. And I imagine both Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas watched their fair share of Ronnie Lott highlights in their day.
Strange that an offensive genius like Walsh would draft heavy on defense his first draft. Maybe he was just a plain old goddam genius.
One of my friends is missing the tip of his pointer finger. He useda draw a smiley face on the end of it & mess with folks. Was halarious
I love that this was shot in 2020 and just now makes it to upload here.
This was awesome!!!
DAM I DIDN'T KNOW THOSE NINERS DEFENSE WERE SO FREAKING GOOD. WOW. PURO PINCHE COWBOYS RESPECT A RIVAL
A hit like this now will cost you 42 thousand dollars.
Awesome video of an awesome GOAT!
Wow. I miss big hits.❤
I got sore, just watching those hits!
Man I miss Pat Summeral and John Madden.
If you look at most of those Ronnie Lott hits, they were CLEAN. Ronnie played the game the right way. All time great defensive player and all-time great FOOTBALL player.
Love it
One of the GOATs taking with one of GOATs.
Yeah i certainly do think you need this. I think everyone needs this to be honest
1980'S NFL - When you could hit the QB hard
2000's NFL - Flags be flying
Ronnie changed the way that safety was played. And then,the NFL changed the way defense was played.
Beast
Ronnie Lott...one bad man...who remember the icky woods Superbowl hit...😆
Montana’s 12 play 9 minute drives was an excellent defense in itself
Love Ronnie. He would be thrown out of the league for the hits he gave every WEEK 🤫
I don't know why people spread this myth. Ronnie hit hard and clean. Not just these highlights, but all the time. Look closer. Leading and making contact with his shoulder and his eyes/face are up - not leading with the crown of his helmet.
You could argue some hits would be flagged against a defenseless receiver, which was a rule added later, but he played clean football.
Peyton Manning is one of the Great "Entertainers" in the Profession...He has a style that is fun and engaging..
Ronnie was before my time but I found out about him on NFL street for the GameCube 😂😂
Growing up in the Bay Area during the 80’s, that team will always be incredibly special to me. Ronnie Lott was as tough as they came.
When someone is willing to have part of their finger amputated to play in the playoff game that definitely makes them as tough as they come. I’m from Louisiana and growing up in the 80s I always hated the 49ers because they were in the same division as the Saints in the old NFC West. Even though the divisions realigned in 2002 I still don’t care for the 49ers yet Ronnie Lott is probably my favorite defensive player ever because of how hard he would hit players and I think Montana is the greatest quarterback ever. So even though they ruined a lot of Saints seasons when the Saints started finally having good football teams in the late 80s its hard to hate on the actual players on that team. They were awesome.
@@breauxcewayne1971 that’s exactly what I was thinking when I wrote my comment. As an adult I wish Ronnie didn’t do that as his health and well being are more important. But as a young boy I thought that was the most bad ass thing ever.
Larry Wilson was the first of the modern defensive back hitters . He made all pro with two broken arms !
Ronnie Lott! Best safety in NFL history. That's about all...
"Halloween, kids come over, and we...pull out the tip" 😳😳
Real football
The goat Lawrence. Lott was one of the best.
How could you not show his twin? RIP ST21
🐐
This is when you could hit!!
2:20 wow that's impressive
Noticed Lott when was USC DB, thinking to myself..."WTH is this guy?"....FFWD couple years, didn't really care much for SFO, as a team, but Always loved to watch #42 lay people out!
The 'true' greatest safety
Missing Sean Taylor in the highlight clip but other than that a great video. Ronnie Lott really doesn’t get the respect he deserves today.
Thank you.
I love the 49ers but to me the man the exemplifies the 80's greatness of the 49ers wasn't Joe or Jerry it was Mr. Lott. He willed them to win especially against the Bengals with Woods hit.
That goal line stand in SB XVI still hurts. Bengals made mistakes on every play in that series. And they got punished for them.
Lol those were just some regular Jordan’s too, no studs or spikes. Wild
