I don't think 1 player could get the best of him because of his position. He was on defense, and once the offensive line was set, the defensive line can shift around, the offensive line can't. So hypothetically, even if there was one guy that could stop him. If that guy lined up on the left, LT could just shift to the right, etc.

Lawrence Taylor was actually in The Waterboy. He tells a group of kids, "Don't smoke crack".

[@phunkjnky]

The Blind Side was a movie about a big black kid who get adopted by a white family, finds out he can be a good offensive tackle and plays major college ball and is drafted by the Baltimore Ravens. The term blind side refers to the back of a QB. For a right handed QB, it's protected by the Left Tackle and vice versa for a lefty QB. For a while, and it changed the economics of drafting and of football in general, the Left Tackle was the most prized, highest paid position in football. It was a reaction that directly resulted from the havoc that Lawrence Taylor could unleash. He was so destructive that he changed the way teams were structured in an effort to stop him, and players like him.

[@willvr4]

I remember 10 years back at a Giants game and our defense was playing like shit, and there was a guy in the crowd yelling "Someone get Taylor a dimebag!!! Our defense can't stop shit! Suit him up!!"

[@robertdedrick7937]

Taylor was 6'3 and 240 LBs . With his abilities Taylor created a new hybrid Line Backer position, the edge LB . Half Def End and half traditional Line Backer.

[@DNReacts]

That’s mad. Thank you for the comment Robert!

[@tsmar9939]

Playing edge isn't difficult and you don't have to be smart to play the position. Beside he was on cocaine

[@the_SolLoser]

​@@tsmar9939 it's not difficult, but it's not easy either.

[@fidge54]

255 lbs when he matured. 240 lbs out of college

[@jamal111]

A major part of LT’s success was his knowledge of the game, his own assignments, his teammates as well as the opposing offense. No clue how playing edge (which wasn’t a term when LT played) doesn’t require you to be smart lol. If you can’t run or pass on someone getting triple teamed that’s more than athletic ability

[@pushpak]

7:49 No one player consistently stopped him. And he was fast too, a freak of nature. He'd intercept a ball and just take off. He is in the NFL Hall of Fame and the Giants retired his number. After retirement, he continued to have drug problems and run ins with the law but has been quiet for the past few years.

[@DNReacts]

Thanks pushpak. That’s crazy and understandably a Hall of Famer!

[@cavaleermountaineer3839]

Yeah, I think age finally slowed him down and mellowed him out. He seems kinda relaxed and jovial in recent interviews.

[@USCFlash]

"He'd intercept a ball and just take off" let's not go crazy....he was without question the greatest defensive player....a true monster and quantum leap forward.... but he only actually did what you said TWICE in his entire great career, and what you said is just too melodramatic. as if nobody else did that. EVERY lb or dB just "takes off" after intercepting a ball, to try to score if they are in a position to do so. 199 career regular season and playoff games - only 10 total pics only 3 tds total return yards = 168 97 of those yards came on 1 great int vs the lions in his 2nd season....he intercepted a pass in the flat at the nyg 3 yard line on the run....he had 97 yards of open space in front of him and nobody near him.... so of course he took off. that did not happen again till 4 years later when he picked off Joe Montana in the playoffs, who threw it right to him in the flat and he took it back for clear sailing 34 yards for the td. his remaining 8 ints totaled just 37 yards & 1 td. (goog search ' Lawrence Taylor Highlights - Interceptions') "No one player consistently stopped him." very true... but that is because nobody knew how to handle a new quantum leap edge rusher. running backs were always used to pick up blitzing lbs up to 1981...but they could not handle him. he forced the advent of a completely new prototype of olineman, the blindside left tackle, as well as needing new blocking schemes. but make no mistake he COULD be stopped....and was frequently held without sacks (though certainly he got tons of pressures and hurries) Even in his legendary mvp 20.5 sack 1986 regular season, he had no sacks in 7 of the 16 games....and in the three playoff games he had zero sacks. he was a force of nature...but he could be stopped even in his peak years.

[@indio4-215]

​​​@@USCFlash Yeah, no shit Sherlock, now quit being a smartass. Plus, even IF LT can be stopped, it's usually when he's being double-teamed or even triple-teamed at that, but still not consistently no matter the blocking scheme.

[@JIGOKUKIRA]

Anthony Munoz whoop LT ass

[@areguapiri]

One player that was the toughest before Lawrence Taylor was a middle linebacker named "Dick Butkus". He played for the Chicago Bears and is probably the hardest tackler ever. You guys should eventually do a reaction to his career.

[@DNReacts]

Thanks for the comment Aregua! Also added Dick Butkus to our list! Think he may have already been there 😅

[@HarborKat]

The great Deacon Jones of the Rams “Fearsome Foursome” once said of Butkus, “when he hit you, he tried to put you in the cemetery not the hospital”. He also has an annual award in his honor for the best line-backers at the top 3 levels, High School, College and Professional.

[@markcooley599]

Please watch Butkus videos!

[@marshalljones3341]

Check out the Selmon brothers from Oklahoma University. They basically did the same thing as LT but on the college level.

[@fidge54]

@@DNReacts Yes, Butkus. Absolutely!

[@strkeout]

There was no one that got the better of Taylor alone, no one. They started out by trying to block him with a running back, LOL, didn't work. They tried putting a tight end on him, didn't work. Then they put a tackle on him, also didn't work. Then they started double teaming him with the tackle and the guard, also didn't work "many times". He's even beaten triple teams at times. The guy was an absolute freak of a player and in my opinion was the greatest individual player in NFL history. When a single defensive player changes the way entire offenses play the game, that tells you all you need to know. I mean that is 1 out of 11 players on the defensive side of the ball we are talking about. And what wasn't even covered or talked about in this video was his speed. He was one of the fastest players in the league. He routinely ran down running backs from behind to make tackles behind the line of scrimmage. And if he ever recovered a fumble or intercepted a pass and had some open field in front of him to run with, he was gone. No one was catching him. Again, the guy was a freak of nature. Super strong, quick off the snap, could run as fast as anyone out there, and had the passion and aggression unmatched by anyone is the league. All of those things together put him in a category all alone. I'm just thankful I was able to grow up watching him live.

[@Cheetah30860]

Just met LT in Atlanta for coaching at his family foundation football camp. Its crazy from seeing videos about him to standing infront of him and talking to him.

[@jimchism6653]

Growing up on Long Island in the 80's I got to watch him every Sunday on TV. He was a beast! At the time the Giants had the best linebackers in the NFL with Taylor, Reasons, Banks, and Carson. With those great players the Giants could run a 3-4 defense (3 linemen and 4 linebackers), and cause so much havoc. The 80's Giants hardly had to score because they gave up so little points. Their strategy was defense and time management.

[@DNReacts]

Thanks Jim. This is great info. We haven’t seen anything much of the Giants yet. Hopefully we maybe get to see a video of their 80s team in action some day

[@MrBronx61]

[@ModeloLoveMeLongTime]

That Gary Reasons hit against Denver 😳 Yea I wasn't even alive in the eighties but I know a lot of NFL history from it's one hundred plus year history and I definitely know that the eighties and early nineties Giants defenses are considered some of the best ever mostly because of their linebackers back then.

[@MrBronx61]

@@ModeloLoveMeLongTime Folks talk about the Saints 'Dome Patrol' (Rickey Jackson, Sam Mills, Vaughn Johnson,Pat Swilling). Shoot, we had the Big Blue Wrecking Crew (LT, Reasons, Harry Carson & Carl Banks). In the early part of the 80s (before Reasons & Banks), it was LT, Brad Van Pelt, Brian Kelly & Carson. They set the foundation for what followed.

[@throughmyeyes...]

What made LT great was that his ability caused the way the entire sport was managed on the field, not only were defenses now looking at his attacking style, but offenses had the reinvent their plays to account for him, he really changed the game single handedly..

[@MrBronx61]

Joe Gibbs invented the two tight end offense mainly to deal with 3-4 defenses and LT in particular.

[@HarborKat]

Yeah, he was very intimidating. In a very early football video game, Tecmo Bowl playing as him was basically a “cheat code” and he would even block kicks. The only offensive player that could beat him was Bo Jackson, the other player/cheat code in the game

[@Terrell070]

In Tecmo Super Bowl he was just as good even though it was easier to pass than in the original. Receivers would make contested catches, and there were fewer interceptions.

[@Cocpain]

Thurman Thomas was OP too.

[@halfogre6373]

Bo Jackson couldn’t be tackled

[@ianmason6446]

Yeah Bo, Walter Peyton, and Jerry Rice were the unstoppable ones in that game. I remember playing that as a kid as the Bears and just hoping to outscore the Raiders since stopping Bo was so unlikely.

[@Hooderaw]

I forgot LT was a beast on that game. Bavarro was a problem too with that unstoppable curl pass.

[@Big_Tex]

I recently watched a Giants game from the '86 season and was very surprised how often he wasn't used as a pass rusher but dropped into coverage. Just imagine his sack numbers of he was rushing every single pass play.

[@flibber123]

Lawrence Taylor was a gamechanger in the sense that he was the prototype for a new type of linebacker. It's an influence that is still felt today. When teams spend high draft picks on 'edge rushers' they are looking for a Lawrence Taylor.

15+ years ago or so, LT was my neighbor on the same floor of my condo building here in Miami Beach. He was actually a really nice and polite neighbor, but boy was he a huge man!

[@lastedain450]

He was the sickest defensive player ever and I was lucky enough to see him when I was a young fan. Of course there were games where the offense was able to contain him to a point. He might get his tackles, but the the other team won and there aren't going to be youtube videos where some offensive lineman with the help of a tight end protected a QB long enough to complete a pass. Worst part as a Giants fan was where he said if he took care of himself and actually trained he could have been so much better. Clearly a freak of nature with his natural talent.

[@videogamevalley7523]

He was that dude, his play alone could intimidate anyone straight savage (also the last defensive player to win NFL MVP that was for the 1986 season) jus could not stop him.

[@RobotShlomo]

As a NY Giants fan I saw Lawrence Taylor play every single game of his career. He was hands down one of the greatest defensive, if not THE greatest of all time. I'm not exaggerating when I say that. He would strike fear into the opposing quarterbacks, because they knew with his size and speed he was unstoppable. 6:39 I watched that game where he ended Joe Theisman's career. The play happened so fast that you didn't realize what you had just seen. Then they showed the replay over... and over... and over... and over. The Giants also had playing on the opposite side a guy named Carl Banks who was just as big, but not quite as fast.

[@WonderGeology]

I was a Giants fan back then and I was awed by him; he was just so dominant! There was no one who could or would take him on. Even MICHAEL JORDAN feared him during pickup basketball games at North Carolina.

[@roymoss75]

As a Giants fan, it was a privilege to go watch him play. His talent and tenacity had no equal. It was easy to find him on the field because that was where the action was. Quick story; The Giants went to play in Los Angeles so naturally Taylor went partying the night before the game. He brought a teammate with him and his teammate was so hungover that he was completely useless. Taylor was his usual self. The head coach was so pissed off at his teammate that the coach threw him off the team on the spot. The coach wouldn't even let him on the plane to get back home!

LT was responsible for ending the career of Washington Redskins' QB, Joe Theisman in what is probably the most gruesome injury in NFL history. Theisman suffered a compound leg fracture when he was sacked by LT. It was so bad, even LT was visibly shaken by it after the play. You couldn't see it happen during the play, but the reverse angle replay showed the fracture occured as LT came down on the leg as he was tackling him. Players on the field said they could audibly hear the bones break.

It was an honor and a privilege to have been able to have been in Giants Stadium to watch LT play in person as many times as I got to.

[@andrewwelham8633]

If you want to see someone getting at least to even standing, check John Riggins and the Redskins against Taylor's Giants. Taylor played from 1981 to 1993, the Redskins won the championship in 1983, 1988, and 1992. They played the Giants twice a year, every year, in the regular season. They also may have played a third game in the playoffs - but I'd have to check. John Riggins and the left tackle Joe Jacoby are two of the hall of fame players that were on that Redskins team.

[@darksquid11]

Watching a couple of British blokes react to some of the best players in the NFL is wildly entertaining! And yes, LT was on BEASTMODE 100% of the time on the field.

There was not only a player but essentially a type of player that emerged almost purely to deal with Lawrence Taylor: The modern Left Tackle. Players like Bubba Smith(before he ate himself out of a job) a truly massive man, with long arms and very quick feat. The most extreme version of this type of Player was Jonathan Ogden, though he entered the League two years after LT retired. LT's tenure in the NFL coincided with Free Agency arriving in the NFL, players like Will Wolford who became the first serious Left Tackle on Free agency got a then massive 6.75 million dollar deal just because he could stop LT one on one.

The only player who was more feared in the NFL as LT was Dick Butkus. LT was a flatout beast and killer on defense. First Ballot Hall of Famer, quick as hell and strong like a elephant. Ask any New York Giants fan who is their favourite player and 99% will tell you in between 1 second LT ! But you have to watch Butkus too, this dude was electric.

It was the 80s also. LT's antics wouldn't be tolerated today. He was totally intriguing.

I once bumped into Lawrence Taylor and his club in New Jersey. When I say I bumped into him I do mean bumped into him and he turned around and stared me down, me not knowing who I was about to get into a fight with stood there and stared him down. Lawrence just smiled at me and turned around and walked off. My buddy Dave grabbed me by my arm and drugged me off! Calling me an idiot saying " Do you know who the F_CK that was? "That's Lawrence Taylor!!!"....Lmao!!!!

If you are video game guys, I'd highly recommend trying to get a hold of a copy of the latest Madden game you can find for your console of choice. Not sure how accessible it would be in the UK, but few things have taught me more over the years about how play calling and execution work than that series. Loving following your journey so far, hope you continue to enjoy!

Offensive players are fun but the defensive players are so much more fun to watch. This guy was amazing when it comes to defensive players but LBs statistically get in so much more plays just the way the position plays. Some of the best LBs to watch for me, Von Miller, James Harrison, and Brian Urlacher

You gotta watch TONY DORSETT (running back) and DEION SANDERS (cornerback)

He's one of 2 ever defensive players to ever win League MVP. The man actually recorded a game where nearly every point was off of his interceptions and forced fumbles. Btw another great defensive player for the Giants that'd you be interested in is the legendary sack king himself Michael Strahan.
