[@machinegunjackmcgurn4188]

@@KnockOffBeingFat First, learn how to spell the man’s name. The comparison is apples to chainsaws. Butkus is the greatest middle linebacker, but LT is the greatest defensive player to ever step on a football field. Butkus couldn’t run with Taylor if he had jets on his shoes. Not even close to going at the same speed. Butkus was a mauler. LT was a missle.

[@ButterBallTheOpossum]

A lot of people don't realize that when Lawrence was drafted the LB coach for the giants was a young guy named Bill Belichick. He would later become Defensive coordinator.

I mean but Lawrence Taylor did some really bad things, and most great lbs and lineman do because they get hit in the head so much, So the rules today may be wack to watch but if u see how fucked up in the head the people who played back then are, the rule is very good in terms of safety

[@GTX1123]

I'm a WFT fan but IMO LT was hands down the greatest defensive player to ever play the game. He'd line up over the middle, on the end with his hand in the dirt, drop back in coverage sometimes - the guy was all over the place and you couldn't stop him. We would have probably been in more Super Bowls back then had it not been for him. He was that dominant in games. The Giants wouldn't have had the same level of success without him. He was that good.

[@nicholashennessy6740]

I’m willing to bet that James Betcher doesn’t even show the linebackers film of LT. He probably just tells them to have more motor, but doesn’t show it visually. (Defense can learn a lot by just watching LT highlights)
