Ryan Clark's INSANE Pittsburgh Steelers Career Highlights

[@ItzYinzburgh]

Not your typical FS. Ryan Clark caused some of the most violent football collisions I had ever seen. With clutch plays during the divisional matchup against BAL, fair to say Ryan Clark was an absolute beast. Clark left everything on the field. Don't forget to like & subscribe! The season never ends in Yinzburgh! 🖤💛🖤💛

[@donaldnolan5272]

Great video on Clark. He is a beast. Any chance of doing one of these on Tyrone Carter? He was hidden gem on those two Super Bowl teams that rarely gets acknowledged. Thanks either way.

[@irvingog1790]

i still think he might not make that tackle

[@javanrozzelle6984]

I really feel the reason Troy could roam and play off his instincts so much is because Ryan was so smart and disciplined in the back end

[@E3litecompany]

Yes Troy said that himself, Clark would clean up a lot of troys mistakes on the back end. Perfect tandem

[@brian5863]

I think that was SUPPOSED to be what Edwards and Fitzpatrick was and to an extent it happened

[@Konformation07]

The two safeties are supposed to a team within the team and Troy and RC epitomized that better than anyone.

[@leveraged6694]

Clark had total disregard for his own body. He was a torpedo out there.

Well said, my man. The dude might be declared legally insane, lol. He just wanted to destroy people. And….he did. I miss him being back there. We need another Ryan Clark to pair up with Minkah. The D would be unstoppable.

Total disregard for his opponents either 😂

[@antoinepowell649]

[@cil20002000]

He was an assassin. One of my favorite players. Never got the respect….but he still took heads off shoulders

[@gkneppy6474]

Ryan Clark was very underated....he was a really good safety!

[@jameswhite4874]

I agree. My memory of him is somewhat tainted. Cause we lost that overtime game in denver because he can't play in high altitude due to his health problems and i really feel like we would have beat them if it wasnt in denver

[@Bearclaw_Jake]

This era was fantastic. Watching Pittsburgh and Baltimore go at it was better than most Superbowl games. Those teams were absolutely stacked with great players. Watching the safeties out there head hunting was great football. Ed Reed and Clark kept the offenses on their toes.

[@Villalobos63]

Man RC was a heat seeking missile fr!

[@Burgher1605]

Ryan Clark.. The Hammer.

[@nick56677]

Ryan Clark #25 is another unsung hero of the 2000s defenses. His work at FS in coverage is what allowed Polamalu to excel and be himself. Without top notch FS play, Polamalu gets exposed. Lastly, Ryan Clark IS THE REASON we won that divisional playoff game against Baltimore in 2011. He took the game over almost singlehandedly on defense.

[@nick56677]

@@Leeedy_1 Yes we all know Polamalu was the Ace on the defense and the game changer, I was stating Clark's importance for Polamalu to be in position to make those plays.

[@dainfuentes8168]

Ryan Clark was the backup that allowed Troy to be so aggressive.

[@bryanreese4231]

I don’t follow what you mean the back? Troy played SS, RC was FS. You saying Troy was the starter & RC was the backup or RC played center field good so Troy can get busy???

[@NXS1FY]

@@bryanreese4231 It's not hard to understand what he's saying. What he's saying is that Ryan Clark was Troy's backup at Safety by meaning Clark's play/ability to play on an island gave Polamalu the reigns to be aggressive, roam the field and play off his instincts not that he was an actual backup lol. Ryan Clark pretty much gave Polamalu the ability to play like he does. They were a great tandem a complimentary to one another a backup to each others ability to play on the ball . The Steelers secondary back then and defense wouldn't be as good as it was without them.

Unbelievable Safety. Probably 1 of the Top 10 of ALL-TIME ! He dished out some of the MOST VICIOUS Hits in the NFL. But also suffered some devastating concussions. I hope he doesn't suffer from CTE repercussions later in his life. He really took some enormous hits to his head over his career.

Ryan Clark was the last of the age of the hard hitting safeties. Tatum, Lott, Atwater, and the guys of yore. Hitting has been legislated out of the game. Ryan got the very end of when you could sorta still hit. A beloved Steeler by me, great ESPN commentator, and will be in the Steelers Hall of Honor.

[@RealEyesRealizeRealLiez]

He was the man, then turned his back on Steelers and the fans. That puts a stain on any legacy. You were only loved where you made the biggest impact

[@michaeljabronis7271]

Rewind to 2012 when we were up against tim tebow and the broncos. We came back from a double digit lead. First play of overtime, the bronco's do a walk off a td with thomas. Ryan clark was out that day, because of high altitude from his stem cell disease. He begged coach tomlin to play, but tomlin said id rather lose than to see something happened to you. Thats exactly what he did, if you watch that overtime play, I can almost be certain ryan clark would have been there to at least stop the play, or prevent it from being a td. He was a difference maker like troy. Hes the pippen to jordan, as clark is to polamalu. You cant have one without the other. Great duo in the secondary.

[@harleyman971200]

Going up 20 miles North of Pittsburgh and being a lifelong diehard Steelers fan, my entire life im actually old enough to remember all the 70's Superbowl wins and those AWESOME, year after year Steelers Defenses. Flash forward to the '08 Steelers Defense went down as on of the greatest of all time, goes without saying Polamalu of course was one of the best, if not the best at SS, BUT Clark was an absolute BEAST!!!!!!!!!!! How FS do you see that can lay the smack down on you like a LB, but turn around the next play and catch an interception, and stop the run like he does. Again of course Polamalu does, but he's a freak of nature.
