Ronnie was great but 49ers wouldn't have won their rings without Joe and Jerry.

Lol they don't run full speed at each other in the UFC but point taken

Agree. WRs thought twice about going over the middle.

Mr. Lott is just the definition of NFL and sell yourself for your team at any cost. He's a hitter one of the best DBs ever. 42 .# USC & SF 49ers he would probably get flagged for hitting to hard with h

With his hitterheadsupstyle!!!

+? that's two words

riikerman Since when was Sanders better than Lott? Sanders ain't a better tackler than Lott

riikerman Sanders was never a fierce tackler like Lott and Blount & Rod Woodson were

sienna three he's talking about unnecessary roughness

Lott was no clean hitter. Look at this hit to Bavaro at 28 seconds. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mN50abuYnN60lHU.html

Dan Livni that was just one play so....

Dan Livni That wasn't dirty That's how the game was played then and so what he gave him a forearm shiver Big deal.

@John Harris I agree it does not resemble that game. Now incidental helmet to helmet contact will get you a 15 yard flag and ejection . So it is a softer game but it is still pretty violent . I didn't enjoy watching big Gerald McCoy barely bumped Ben Roethlesberger and drew a 15 yard roughing the passer penalty n he could be heard mumbling " my bad Ben ." wtf is going on out there.

Raphy der Baer better because he's a 49er first

My favorite player of all time who played those positions! Absolute determination describes RONNIE LOTT!

That hit changed the momentum of the game. Woods was rumbling and Lott let the air out of him. Legendary

Ronnie Lott would have met his match with Stanley Wilson had he not coked.

Keith Clark allpro at both positions.

PLEASE, PLEASE........Ronnie Lott was UNANIMOUS First Team All-Pro selection at cornerback in his ROOKIE SEASON!! The only reason why Lott was NOT defensive rookie of the year was because Lawrence Taylor was also a unanimous First Team All-Pro selection at outside linebacker AS A ROOKIE and was the catalyst behind the NY Giants defense moving from the 27th ranked defense (out of 28 teams) in 1980 to being the 3rd ranked defense in 1981 AND the Giants making the the playoffs for the first time in 18 years. Lott was a BEAST as a rookie with 7 interceptions, 3 of them returned for touchdowns.

Tough game

Ronnie Lott

His hits were clean even in today’s standards

Ronnie Lott was a cheap shot artist. Look at this hit on Bavaro at 28 seconds. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mN50abuYnN60lHU.html

Hey dumbass! Pay attention! Ronnie Lott did it clean. Arms & Shoulders. If he hit YOU with his shoulder pad, he’d kill you. & guess what? Nobody thinks that’s dirty football. Mark Bavaro himself wouldn’t say that was a dirty hit or a “cheap shot”. All the stuff he did, you still can do in the NFL. It’s just that players just don’t do it. There is no discipline or self control exercised like there was when Lott played. Most of these guys in the NFL today actually belong in prison. It’s assholes like you that try to call a good thing bad just to make it fit correctly with your opinion. Probably because you were a Giants fan or at least not a 49ers fan. Have you ever even done any research? Lott wasn’t just physically dominant he was just as much mentally dominant(smart). If you’re going to do that then why don’t you just keep your comments to yourself. He didn’t go out as one of the greatest players of all time & one of the hardest hitters if not the hardest hitter by making, what you say, “cheap shots” Long Live Lott!! The Greatest to ever lace up a pair of cleats!

Dan Livni ? I watched it. Several times. What am I missing?

@@gviruscalls7089 well I was talkin about safeties but now you're talkin about corners? If that's the case Deion Sanders is easily the greatest corner of all time put that in your pipe and smoke it enjoy

Two different players and positions

RL was both a corner and a safety...DS was a corner, so they played the same position. DS was a pure cover guy who rarely hit but could catch (intercept) well and return punts. RL was a cover guy who could also catch...but he brought the lumber every game. DS played with swagger, RL played with heart. Swagger's great when you're winning, but I'll take heart every time. Both were great players, for sure!

Jose Lopez Deion Sanders was a Cornerback Ronnie Lott was a Strong Safety/Free Safety for most of his career Two different players Two different positions Two different styles of play You can’t compare the two

Bo jackson did that to everyone.

@@johnre1514 yep, Bo tossed him 5 yards out of bounds. Bo also ran over LT. Lott was no match for Bo

@@kingfish4242 he really didnt run over LT. It was week 16 in 1989. The only time they met. Bo took an end around handoff. He had full momentum going around and into LT. They collided and LT held on but bos momentum carried LT for 3 yds and they both went down. He hit LT pretty good but LT held his own. It was nothing like the brian bosworth play.

@@kingfish4242 Bo couldn't handle the NFL

Actually, the rules were changed to HURT the Patriots. The early Patriots were known for their PHYSICAL DEFENSE, so Peyton Manning, Curt Warner, etc. complained to the league to change the rules to force the Patriots to play a more finesse defense. You should learn your football history before speaking. Seems like you must not have started watching football until 2005-2006. Go back and look at early year Patriot teams with Ty Law, etc. They were forced to adjust when Peyton complained. It was PEYTON MANNING who cause the league to become flag football.

Lott copied Jack tackling style...was just as good ballhawk but never played corner like Lott because of that Lott gets edge.

Both were ruthless, intimidating, frightening players. Can anyone imagine the pair of them playing 2 high safety in the same secondary?

Joey Rey Ronnie Lott was a better all-around Strong Safety/Defensive Back than Jack Tatum

Nickacus Duh...quarterbacks and receivers got hit in the 80s...NO DEFENSELESS RECEIVER RULE 30+ YEARS ago

Nickacus You are aware that Brady owes EVERYTHING he has obtained to this point to INSTANT REPLAY

Brady would break like glass if he played in this era of football.

Brady wouldn't have survived in the 80s. Much less pick apart defenses

brady would be in a wheelchair if he played in the 80's

he's gay?

John Parr I was talking about you.
