And at 240 lbs, he could have legit played all 3. Even DE. Fred Dean was only 230, and Jack Youngblood only a little heavier at 245. Both fellow HOFers.

Bill Bellichek said LT could have played every position on the defense apart from *maybe* cornerback. Bellichek was dead serious when he said it.

Love ya

bigstink9 he was trash in coverage

@@onthaticeburg_ess6542 Elaborate? Edit: I thought so.

Wentzipaul .....you are obviously high AF and suffering from ‘willful blindness’.

though stats dont tell the whole story they help. Thats why this guys videos are great as the show the real stats that were not kept well back then. One thing that sticks out is that when you compare all the " next LTs". or his competition. ie. tippet swilling wilson green thomas miller suggs ware ....... some have comparable sack numbers even more in one case but their sack rate are all lower with exception of maybe thomas but I am not sure but then when you look at tackles and most literally dont have half the number of tackles.. the only one that ever measures up but who is ALWAYS over looked is rickey jackson... and though its too early to tell micah parsons ... the giants will regret passing him up unless the trade produces perennial all pros

@@onthaticeburg_ess6542 Belicek said he was so good in coverage he could have played as a safety.

Tack on the Greatest Open field tackler of all time!!

You're so right, the greatest defensive player ever

+Peter Antoinette : I think he was the greatest player that has ever played the game!!!

Peter Antoinette it's not even close; he wins hands down!

NO! The greatest FOOTBALL PLAYER of all time. Period.

He was like a heat seeking missile out there.

@@onthaticeburg_ess6542 After you kid.

11:42 This play typifies LT.

Daniel Kelegian Yes! Line of scrimmage is the giants 40. He rushes the passer, ending up at the Giants 48, and makes the tackle after the completed pass at the Giants 22 yard line. Are you kidding me?

VICTOR BUONOCORE The guy was from another planet.

He was the absolute best. He had God with him. Something showed him where the ball would always be and he was there. INSANE!

Harold Morant honestly....idk

totally agree

G.O.A.T.🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

Also a great teamate never showed anyone up or played dirty only can wonder what he could have done if he had taken care of his body

@A A I think cocaine had a lot to do with his performance. But he was still the greatest.

@@LazlosPlane bullshit!!!!

@@peterpellechia5985 Which part of my response did you direct your beautifully phrased objection?

oh anyone who thinks that is a fool- but of course he was magnificent pass rusher, and tackler and in pass defense; by far the best all round

Yeah his biggest highlights of course are his sacks and pass rushing but he was also excellent in pass coverage and run coverage. He had the ability to run down screen plays and off tackle runs away from him from behind.

Xavier Vega he is just a pass rusher

mizofan no

Jack Andersen he’s a DE

How good was LT when he dropped in coverage? Could cover as good as a pro bowler middle linebacker?

Joseph Ciolino He is the best PLAYER ever!

And people have the nerve to say Brady smh

Joseph Ciolino no

@@onthaticeburg_ess6542 who is then

Cocaine!

Not even a debate. What a freak.

TheJMSESQ Khalil Mack

@@onthaticeburg_ess6542 Take your L.

True, but he STILL lit guys up while maintaining perfect form. Greatest tackler of all time IMO.

Chris Jones L

@@onthaticeburg_ess6542 Only one with a L is you kid.

Never ever a cheap shot.

Keith Gillespie fuck no he sucks

@@onthaticeburg_ess6542 And you're a fucking idiot.

MaccoroniTony Appreciate it. Thanks for watching.

after he caused 2 TOs earlier in the half

I watched that game live. I've never seen anyone that big run as fast as LT on that play. He had the speed and hands to be a TE or safety.

I'll go further than that with LT on tecmo bowl you could block FGs with him too that's how fast he was. No one ever defensively could be ahead of him until Watt wins a mvp award then everyone needs to stfu. LT is still the only defensive player to win the award.

***** LT is the second defensive player to win it. Alan Page was the first in 1971. Also yes,the Watt fanatics need to chill. Let Watt do what he does for 10-12 years and THEN we can talk. Till then STFU.

Really!? WOW never knew that interesting fact thanks for that!!

same shit i was saying bro

iFreeze nowadays they won’t let a defensive player win dumbass

Bellichek said LT could legitimately play every position apart from *maybe* cornerback. He was dead serious when he said it.

bruceschaffer101 You're welcome. Glad you like the vids and thanks for watching

***** It's my pleasure (you did all the great work---I'm just enjoying it!). . And, I love the brief commentaries you end some of your LT videos with. They are truly fitting.

@@johnsmith3091 mr.smith,lt made an unbelievable play against the eagles in 1982.he had hos white jersey on and was going left to right.he caught wilbert montgomery from behind in pursuit.he ran like 35 yards.the thing is pat summerrall said whittington made the play.it was lt,only player in the league that could have made that play.any way you could get that play on youtube?

@@johnsmith3091, first, thank you again for your work. Thanks to you Taylor’s true forced fumble record has been updated. And not just the career total, you broke it down by season. Is there any chance you have enough video to assess his career tackle totals?

It probably is,in New England

No one comes close to LT because he single handedly got rid of the fullback position in football.

Rick W As well as defensive end.

Need hands and blocking abilities to do tight end.

@@michaelbelfer1069 or strong safety.

dick carr......I think Lott doesn't get enough shine for his play due to coming into the league in the same draft with Lawrence Taylor. I can't name another cornerback who transitioned as well Lott to a hard-hitting safety other than Rod Woodson. Lott was essentially Deion Sanders who could lay guys out. Lott actually has more career interceptions than Sanders. Incredible.

@@byrongammonbyrongammon9937 Also people tends to hold his lack of DPOTY award against him, ignoring that it's hard to win the award when you're playing in the era where LT and Singletary were gobbling literally half a decade supply of them.

McDaniel is no slouch.. Twelve time pro bowler, nine all pros to his resume. And he went “nah” on Taylor.

Daniel Kelegian You are correct. I'm impressed. You know your Giants history.

***** Been a die hard fan since I was six (1978). The first football game I ever watched was the Miracle at the Meadowlands, LOL!!. Although I lived five minutes from Shea, the Giants are my team because of that game and the fact that my family had season tickets to the NY Cosmos from 1977-1982 at Giant Stadium, so the Giants became my team. Funny how things work. Love the videos BTW.

I refer to him as LDT.
