This is why it is great to listen and get the info from ex players because they can give u straight up insight that ppl who never played can't. Respect RC
@@mantgrta9728 Even if he is the "3rd best safety" which seems like a stretch, the Browns got him in the middle of the 2nd round. He was 3rd safety off the board and a 4th safety went the very next pick.
Grant is the man and i am a diehard UF, UM and FSU fan... Grant is a phenomenal DB hands down. Patrick Peterson attended my high school and we are truly HIGH SCHOOL DBU.... GRANT IS AMAZING
Matt is fortunate to have this man RC as a friend and guest,, there is no substitute for certain knowledge when it comes to talking about a subject,, Clark has that in abundance and his communication skills are direct,, and packed full of relevant facts.
I’m glad it worked out the way it has because he wouldn’t have fallen to my Brownies if it didn’t. Browns got a steal at 44 and that is going to feed him to be that much better! Him and Greedy!!
Im watching this after the great year we had and could only wonder how much better he couldve made us. I hope him and greedy come back healthy and strong next year. Our secondary was god awful!! At to it all the injuries and it made things even worse
I can totally agree wit dat!! I respect how yu put the young brotha under ur wing!! We need dat more as a people R.C. But the season isn’t ova & I believe in Grant D. A humble young man, be patient lil bro & them stats gonna drop n ur lap as usual!!! 🐅GEAUX TIGERS🐅
Excellent segment! Ryan is spot on with everything he's saying here, particularly when it comes to the fans perspective. While you certainly don't need to have played the game in order to understand it, there's no denying that it's much easier to have empathy for the position some of these guys are in when you've also had those experiences. As fans, it's very easy to cast damning judgment on athletes because of all the scrutiny professional sports invites. Especially at a time like this, when every conceivable metric for an athlete is measured and made public. Any person with an IQ high enough to operate Google and compare numbers is capable of finding the information necessary to support any outlandish opinion they feel like spewing, and as a result we have a sports culture in which the vast majority of fans feel adequately informed to do just that. And because the vast majority of sports programming is centered around two people at opposite ends of the same table arguing for three hours straight, we somehow feel emboldened to do the same. Add in social media and the unprecedented access we now have to these athletes, who can read our abusive tweets within thirty seconds of us posting, and what you have is the unhealthiest fan/athlete relationship in history. So, it's very honorable of Ryan Clark to use his platform like this -- to take up for a young player like Grant Delpit -- knowing how hard it is for him to express the impossible position he's in. While I do still think some of this criticism comes with the territory, it is important for us as fans to realize that these guys are human. I know that is an embarrassingly obvious statement, but there's no doubt that the helmets, jerseys, numbers, logos and superhuman physical ability does make most of us forget that beneath it all is a person with the same exact thoughts and emotions as the rest of us. Let alone that many of them, especially those still in college, are much younger than those at home screaming at their televisions for no reason.
Yeah, it's really admirable and makes me respect RC on a whole different level. The problem is that social media breeds criticism that is disingenuous. I know we're never going to solve some of these problems, but guys like Ryan are part of the solution in how they are grounding these kid's in a media environment that is constantly trying to derail their ambitions and careers for the sole purpose of garnering a fraction of attention.
Grant is the best safety in football . HIS STATS WILL BE DIFFERENT AS HE COACH COUNCIL AND LEAD A DEFENSE THIS YEAR HIS ROLL IS HUGE AND TEAMS WILL AVOID HIM .Man NFL teams would be crazy not to see what he bring to the table. Geaux tigers
grant delpit is going to be a free safety for the browns, so half of his "tackling issues" will go away right there. the the other half will mostly be taken care of through coaching. delpit has many unique and elite-level skills that cannot be coached, but tackling is mostly about technique, which can and will be coached.
Free safeties tackle half as much as strong safeties? Browns have been a bad tackling team, hopefully Scho and Randall leaving will remedy that. But drafting a guy who struggles to tackle isn't a way to improve team tackling.
And he got the Thorpe award for a good reason. I don't recall any of the other safety's in draft being awarded the best db in NCAA. Theres probably a reason for that....maybe because he was the best of all the other players at db by far? Could be why idk maybe its given based on something else not related to stats and his performance in games.
Well I've never criticized Grant but I will bring up a complaint about Ryan Clark. There's no need to imply coach Bill Bush might be a problem for Grant. Bill Bush was his coach last year when he had a good year.
He's playing out of position a lot, that's why his stats aren't as good, and instead of covering WRs and blitzing the QB all game he's on a lot more RBs and TEs who are a lot bigger than he is so he's missing tackles
ryan speaking straight facts . my 2nd favorite current college player grant i just see a guy who may could be trying to make the big hut and not wrap up at times or just the fact like he is human its just after showing how great he is and getting 7 people expect perfection . he's fine he will have splash plays soon
In the pros 1 on 1 tackles are not good. So if you can get to a guy make him change direction slow down. Well that's what you want. So Delpit will be alright
Because hes now a Brown and I hate the Browns it pains me to say this but why dont people address the shoulder injury he was playing with? I understand that tackles can be hard to make like Ryan is saying but hes not addressing the real reason he "fell off". I played thru HS and I know if I got a stinger in the 1st qtr of a game I'd be more inclined to miss a tackle later in game because the stinger is on my mind. Whether the shoulder injury was really bad and physically affected his tackling or it had just become a mental block it should not be dismissed
Man im sorry if u have a tackling problem- it's you. A bad tackling rep or streak dont just come out of thin air. Play some bball learn how to mirror go bk to textbook tackling. There is no excuse for consistently bad tackling unless maybe ur injured.
He WAS injured the majority of 2019 with a high ankle sprain and played through it. That's plain tough right there. And check his playoff tape, especially the title game, after he had a month to heal up...
This is why it is great to listen and get the info from ex players because they can give u straight up insight that ppl who never played can't. Respect RC
That was a steal for us. Idc what anyone says he's a baller
Vincent Martone yessirrrrr
Nope 3rd best safety imo
Him and Joseph will he a good safety duo.
Correct!
@@mantgrta9728 Even if he is the "3rd best safety" which seems like a stretch, the Browns got him in the middle of the 2nd round. He was 3rd safety off the board and a 4th safety went the very next pick.
Thank You Ryan! You are my favorite player/media guy now...
C. Juneau thanks for watching! RC is the 🐐
Grant is the man and i am a diehard UF, UM and FSU fan... Grant is a phenomenal DB hands down. Patrick Peterson attended my high school and we are truly HIGH SCHOOL DBU.... GRANT IS AMAZING
That was a really good segment Matt. Very interesting perspective that I think we do have but as fans we do need to be better
black geauxtee thanks for watching!

Delpit, Greedy and Philips together again.

Ryan Clark is a good human being. Real and just speaks the truth. This is what a well raised man looks like people.
David Holmes totally agree. One of my favorite people
He is 190 hitting 240 pound RBs and TEs But he's done great and Aranda gonna get him more freedom.
Grant Delpit is a beast who's the best
More like 210
I'll take Xavier

I'm a browns fan and I am excited. His bad tackling isn't due to effort or mentally, but bad technique. He will get better.
My BROWNIES, Man, got A WINNER. who is Ryan Clark? Like A Boss
Mr Clark can't wait to see you in the DAWG POUND! GO Delpit Go Browns!!!
And he got the Thorpe award for a good reason. I don't recall any of the other safety's in draft being awarded the best db in NCAA. Theres probably a reason for that....maybe because he was the best of all the other players at db by far? Could be why idk maybe its given based on something else not related to stats and his performance in games.
Stop, he won the the Thorpe award and he was the third best DB on his team last year.
I wanted the Texans to draft him so bad
Thank God that they got it wrong because it worked out for my Browns... Go Browns 💪

Woeee Woee thanks for watching and for the feedback

RC talking truth...very intelligent
This guy said it perfect. Geaux tigers
He speaking truth and I don’t even like Grant because he plays for the browns lol. I hope he has a great NFL career though.
Welcome home baby
Man im sorry if u have a tackling problem- it's you. A bad tackling rep or streak dont just come out of thin air. Play some bball learn how to mirror go bk to textbook tackling. There is no excuse for consistently bad tackling unless maybe ur injured.
He WAS injured the majority of 2019 with a high ankle sprain and played through it. That's plain tough right there. And check his playoff tape, especially the title game, after he had a month to heal up...
He was injured
He missed a quarter of his attempts tho
He acts like he is the only one that played football.. I know why he missed the tackle he is talking about.... he show have broke down sooner...
Tackling is hard.... BUT if it’s your job and your bad at it ......... could be a problem
Tell me what you consider to be bad tackling...technique/scheme...dont give me fandom
