When you see Ryan on television sometimes you forget how much of a savage he was on the field 😂

I ran into Ryan Clark in the airport. We were waiting for the same flight. In line I asked him which hit was better Welker or McGahee. Without missing a beat he said "well I don't remember the McGahee one. I was out too."

Ryan Clark has always been underrated. That's why Polamalu was able to roam the field because he knew he had Clark back there dropping the hammer!! PS4L!!

These youngins will never know how Violent a Pittsburgh vs Baltimore game was.💯

I’m here bc Derrick Henry was talking shit

I knew James Harrison was a beast, BUT I never knew Ryan Clark was that brutal! DAMN!!

How do they let Ryan Clark be a Sports personality when this man should be facing charges lmaoooo

I’ve been watching so much Ryan Clark on ESPN and he looks like such a nice and unassuming guy. He was a BEAST!

The RC hit on Wes Walker and Willis McGahee was scary!

I still say James Harrison is the best Steelers linebacker since Jack Lambert. He was a monster on the field.

When the Steelers had this defense, they were unbeatable. I’ve been a ravens fan forever and I know we had a scary defense but this Steelers defense was nothing less than legendary.

Harrison took out Colt, Massaqio and Cribbs all in 1 game 😂😂. Dude was dangerous

Ryan Clark was underrated and a tackling machine🔥🔥🙏

Harrison is that guy you love to have on your team but hate to play against. He was never a flashy, super athletic player. He was a human wrecking ball.

Troy said a prayer when Clark hit welker 🤣

Ryan Clark is the most bad ass safety ever. I really miss him, football hasn't been the same, I think football during that era was the best it ever was and will ever be.

We'll never see hits this brutal again. These two guys were in the last era that allowed total brutality. Young players today will never know how scary it was trying to play football when guys like Clark and Harrison were out there, allowed to hit players into next week.

Seeing Deebo coming for you at full speed has to be one of the scariest things ever. It's the human equivalent of a rhino charge

Ryan Clark was an assassin

James Harrison was literally juggernaut

Those two were something else. Missing that aggressive nature they brought

Ryan Clark and Harrison’s hardest hits; this video could have easily included Polamalu. Beastful defense

#25 rocked Willis so hard players on both sides stopped playing. The ball laid there for like five seconds. The ravens v Steelers game was the hardest hitting I’ve ever seen

What they did to Vince young was underrated 😂

Love it! Ryan Clark was so under rated & a bit under appreciated by STEELER NATION. I'm glad he still has all his faculties....

Love how 80% of the clips were against divisional opponents, shows how strong the rivalry was (and still is). They really hated each other and you can see it in the play

Damn that man RC was a true HITTER! Would never guess

James Harrison was / so bad ass definitely one of the absolute best in Steelers history!! Watching this reminds me of the defense we had

Troy and clark were the best safety duo of my lifetime. They would terrorize receivers in the secondary. Some of those years though the penalties probably cost the steelers playoff seeding. Patriots back then never got called for anything and got calls all the time.😡

Harrison used to make dudes regret their existence 😅

It always amazed me how Ryan Clarks big hits always got overlooked.

Ryan Clark and Hines Ward were a couple of the toughest guys I remember from the Steelers. You have to go back to the 70s to find intensity like that.

Those two were madmen

People forget that he's the reason they came up w the Helmet to helmet rule. He was literally trynna kill mfs on the field lol

The Steelers Defense, shortening careers since the 70's. I love it.

Harrison is my all time favorite. Always looked mad as hell

Im not a steelers fan but James Harrison is one of my all time favorite players

That's when football use to be football. Now I don't even watch it anymore, it was extremely exciting back then.

3:14 best hit I ever witnessed as a steeler fan.. vs opponent, at stakes, critical moment in game.. one my all time favorite

I love this team hitting back in the day. Also love watching browns players getting leveled for years, and years.

This was one of the best videos I’ve seen of some steeler hitting 💪🏿

RC is the definition of hit anybody that doesn’t have the same jersey on as you!!!

Never gets old... Miss those guys

I love dem Steelers! Those were tha good ole days! 🙏🏾👏🏾😊

That ball popped out of Ed reed hands like he was holding a bar of soap 😂😂

That hit on colt McCoy was absolutely legal and I wish they'd do it more. When a qb leaves the pocket he's fair game, bury him. If lamar wants to play option, I don't care if he pitches the ball or not, bury him. Hit these asses so hard they don't want to play Pittsburgh. I wish they'd hire Harrison for strength and lb coach. Get them fired up and pissed off again.

Ryan Clark was insane to watch. He would run so fast to these tackles, no wonder he also was injured in the mcgahee hit.

I miss football, it’s too bad it doesn’t exist anymore.

that last hit by harrison is so damn satisfying that is exactly how your taught to hit harf

Hell yeah 💪 💛 James Harrison was a mad dog 😉 and Clark a very good free safety...with Polamalu a dream team. Very good video👌 I like it! Here we go STEELER NATION 💛

Man, those two were tremendous. Harrison obviously was a beast, but Ryan Clark, did not throw caution to the wind, he went all out. Jeez. Great video!!

Thanks for all the clips and videos

Great games for Baltimore fans, always grimey. Respect for RC for always sticking up for lamar 💯

Boys were handing out neck breakers like gratuity 🤯 God bless all the victims in this highlight. Sheesh! Definitely nervousness about CTE for these brothers

Miss that team so much

When it came to playing safety, Ryan Clark was Judge, Jury and Executioner. Also, it’s no coincidence that most of his biggest hits were against AFC North opponents. Those teams flat out hate each other. Especially BAL vs PITT, those games were absolute blood baths. The body bags were on standby.

Some people saying those hits were dirty, but damn, I still want those two on my team.

I met RC25 at an Super Bowl autograph signing party years ago with him and Mike Logan. I didn’t even recognize him at first because he’s so unassuming. Great guy, down to earth. We just talked about football for a while before he had to do his setup. I’m 5’8”, and I was lookin’ at this cat who was only and inch or two taller in person and it made me think I could play football. Then I saw Mike Logan…then I also remembered RC25 had the sickle cell issues that season (2007, I believe), so I came back to my senses. 😂

I seen them all live !! now everyone knows !!! thanks for a great video ....the Welker hit was my favorite.

I really enjoyed this!

3:39 This is what gets me about modern NFL rules about personal fouls. Once the NFL started flagging players for drilling receivers in the helmet because of newly discovered effects of head trauma, I thought, "Fair enough; let science have its say and adjust." But that had to do with the *location* that you hit a receiver, not simply *how hard;* how hard you hit a receiver is fair game within the rules as far as I was concerned. But in recent years, they've started throwing the flag almost out of reflex not just when it's helmet-to-helmet, but anytime it's just a "big hit." And that's what frustrates me, because it confirms my suspiscion that it's not just a minor adjustment about ONE aspect of tackling, not spiking a player head-to-head, but an aversion to the physicality of the game itself, and it's a slippery slope from there. Soon, it'll be that all ball carriers have to see you directly before you're allowed to tackle them or something stupid like that. That's what leads us to the "defenseless receiver" rule. Suddenly, you're not asking players to NOT do something, i.e. take headshots, just like linemen can't hold or cut block and defenders can't horse collar, but also asking them to actively assume the receiver is defenseless and yield to them to catch the ball, which a matter that's supposed to be within fair play of the game and something the rules shouldn't touch. For example, if you're a receiver running a post and I as the safety read the play perfectly and break on the ball, if I meet you at the point of contact with the ball and indiscriminately hit you like I would anybody else or to force the incompletion, it isn't my problem that you were "defenseless" any more than it would be if a linebacker snagged a running back just right from his blindside and made a big hit then. They're only calling it because it's in the open field where it's graphic and obvious, but in my opinion, graphic and obvious shouldn't equal illegal. Yeah, the receiver is "defenseless" if he's expected to catch a ball for his team while not being able to brace for impact with a defender he knows is there, and he's doomed to get crunched, but you can't then penalize the defender for being at that place at that time to make a play or expect him to ASSUME anything. That would mean that a defender in position to make a hard hit and force an incompletion should instead stop his feet and allow the receiver to catch the ball, which in my opinion, would be a lopsided advantage for the offense. Every player has a right to the ball, right? Not a fair rule in my opinion. If anything, the league should hold their yellow flags and instead encourage offenses to put the ball in the right place where receivers AREN'T defenseless. Shouldn't the onus be on the offense to strategically put the ball where the defender ISN'T, not on the defender to yield to receivers when he's in the right position? That's my two cents.

2:35 those hits are so satisfying to watch, no one makes those kind of hits nowadays it's a lost art

This made my Day !!! Go Steelers !!

Beautiful. Just beautiful. GO STEELERS!!!

Damn Harrison had 3 ko hits in one game poor browns he was dominating them that game.🎯💯🤣💪💪

What a defense! Excited for the upcoming 2021 season!

This is why in concussion protocol .Dam! That was Hard Hits!!

I used to get scared just watching James Harrison on T.V.! I can imagine what it was like playing him in person!

A lot of people forget how great James Harrison was as a special teamer when Joey Porter still was around and James wasn't a starter yet

Man Ryan Clark!!! Very underrated, better than Polamalu in SOME ways, and man he could STICK!!!!

Brings a smile to my face. I miss big 92. Beast!!!!!

This is a great video Ryan Clark to me personally the most fearless Hardest hitting Safety Ever And James Harrison was a all time Animal / Beast

Awesome video!!!

Poor Vince Young got slaughtered literally RIP dude 🤣🤣🤣

I really appreciate you showin us which ones were legal and which weren’t. That’s pretty cool, thanks b

i miss this god damn defense right here. lot of great years watching these guys do what they did.

After every Clark hit, you can see Troy say a quick prayer..

James harrison was a menace

All of Ryan Clark's hits are clean and hard. Never at the other player's head.

Harrison & Clark was terrorizing everybody........ DAMN. DAMN. DAMN.

Steelers Defense needs to find this play again !!!! I miss this type of defense!!

Spectacular video! That hit on Ed Reed is my favorite!

Those were beautifully violent

Man I loved it post some more!!!!

Vince young literally was sent to the shadow realm....wow.

My squad until I am buried six feet deep🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛

Love it. Keep going guys! Great Edit!!!

I miss this Defense so much

Loved Harrison

The hit on Cruz by Clark that drew a flag was weak

LOVE IT!

I remember every play love seeing it again

Clark's hit on Welker at 2:20 was one of the most brutal hits I've ever seen in my life. I still remember when it happened live, and I seriously was impressed that Welker didn't exit the field in an ambulance. Just devastating.

Those were the days🙄 full speed football. It stunk for these 2 back with the rule change that they would get called even when it was clean hit to be made examples of.

I miss this so much l Love my STEELERS THEY PLAY LIKE THAT THATS GOOD STUFF

Ain gone lie... This been a naaaAasstyy combination of hits fr🔥🔥

Ryan Clark seems like a cool dude. I’d want to hang out with him and workout with James Harrison

Some of those calls were ridiculous especially on Ryan Clark they were throwing flags and he wasn't even close to the helmet.

Some of my favorite plays

Amazing
