Bro he wasn't even amongst the hardest in his GENERATION. You have Roy Williams, Sean Taylor, Brian Dawkins, John Lynch, Even Reed could lay the wood down as well and I'm sure I'm missing another 5 more... Oh yeah Polamalu, so that makes him the 2nd of 2 saftjes coming to hit power from his own team... Not even mentioning the older guys like Ronnie Lott or the newer guys like Derwin James etc so that comment is wild. He did play physical and got highlights but you can't compare his hit power to his generation yet to EVER play
@@travisswann9603 you clearly haven't watched enough football. Troy and Ed Reed are not known for being hard hitters. They are ball hawks and playmakers. Ryan Clark had no regard for his body. You on the wrong stage
@@jeffgrimes481 No regard but still ain't got as hard. Troy hit much harder, even Reed did too, Do your homework.. He was like a hard hitting corner with his size
Do my homework? Lol I been a Steelers fan for over 20 yrs.. there is no homework for me to do. Troy was and Ed was def better safeties but Ryan Clark was a heat seeking missile
@@jeffgrimes481 What made them both of them HOF worthy was that yeah they were sideline to sideline ball hawking safeties but was able to play the run VERY well, especially Polamalu, if you're saying Clark hits harder than Troy then yes do your homework and watch some film. You ever see that punt where Reed was Mic'd up; He got helled, then r ran down the field (about 50 yds he covered and took dudes head off.. While Clark couldn't take Marshawn Lynch.. Loom it up and dobsome research 😆
I went to the same high school as malc jenks. Ended up wearing his old jersey my freshman year cuz the old jerseys always got handed down to the freshmens. Only season I scored TD’s
Football isn't a contact sport, its a collision sport. I lived and breathed that. Sacrifice when everyone else pulls back to make a tackle and it will make some fumbles. It shortens careers too.
Football is a concussion sport if you make it more then a season without at least one injury especially a concussion it ain’t football it’s touch ball carrier safety not rough him up 👍
wait. he brings up Troy Polamalu and says he wasnt the type to sacrifice his body to make plays? that is mind blowing. please, anyone who watched Troy Polamalu play, how did he play? he was the epitome of sacrificing your body in football
He sayin it in an injury standpoint like troy wasnt just hittin you just to hit you he was hittin you to make a play thats a sacrifice loke you said he sayin ryan was just dumb kinda like that grunt kid on the highschool team who always get a concussion cause he helmet tappin everybody
@@treevans9560 I'm no Ryan was hitting to give Troy more freedom and to make the opposing players respect his space and he needed that money and sacrificed his body the only way he could
Those players are always the ones you wouldn’t expect to go in like they do until they do it time and time again, then everyone is lookin for that hit stick.
That man was physical af. I used to love watching him play. I'm an Eagles fan but back in the day I used to enjoy Colts games. They had a dope team in that era and was fun to watch. For some reason they were always on here in Philly. 4 o'clock games were either them or Pitts being showcased on CBS.
Ryan was a huge hitter I don’t think many people realize or they’ve forgot. Growing up a Steelers fan I’ve seen him dish out some huge hits and KO some dudes
Sean Taylor wasnt around that long....he kinda like biggie and tupac....in terms of career wise....impact but short span cant compare him to any 5 yr player
I remember wen I first got into football I would always watch clips and troys clips would always popped up I thought he was a beast I became a fan of football ever since that 9ers and ravens lights out Super Bowl raider nation
Ryan Clark is one of the most underrated hitters ever like buddy got some highlight reel worthy hits I can’t recall… I’m a huge Ravens fan so I saw #25 a lot smackin cats
I loved both players but I would go with Malcolm. More instinctive and made more game changing plays. with that being said I believe every defense can use a guy like Ryan Clark. He fit perfectly in Pittsburgh
perfectly? Lol those were all deemed illegal and that was the end of his career.. They was nasty and gritty but perfect he was far from in any conversation
Didn't know Clark wasn't drafted. My third time ever watching him play for Pittsburgh. I wished I could have been the exact type of Safety his was with his specific skills. And my football career was over last game my Jr year of highschool. Funny part I'm older than him. But I realized a 4.68 40 5'9 dude who couldn't cover his nose when he sneezed wasn't going nowhere because he could hit hard and knocked his self out on 30% of his hard hits. It was the 90's we could still play after knocking ourselves out.
Those Steelers defense were truly cut from a different cloth. Heyward and Harrison and Timmons on the line. Guys like Foote and Shazier then Ike and then one of the greatest safety tandems ever with Clark and Shazier. Truly amazing it is surprising they didn’t win more rings tho
Man Bob sanders should be on the mount Rushmore of safeties if it wasn't for injuries. Ball hawk amazing tackler Huge hits crazy IQ. Couldn't catch tho lol
Pleasure to see Ryan Clark talking and still a great guy never forgot seeing him in Pittsburgh with his son on the Southside in the Black Range Rover he was and still a class of a guy big ups to a great career
At 0:06-0:07 that hit he did to 83 on the Patriots was DEVASTATING. I felt that. Even Steeler's player 23 seen that his & paused & I know he said "DAMN" in his head. Lmfao
I think it’s more impressive even with the style of play RC played, he’s able to walk away from the game without any serious injuries (none that I know about) dude was a problem on that field and this is coming from a Ravens Fan lol
Ryan is kinda a smaller dude he kinda has to throw his whole body around like that to get these monsters down lol
Wasn’t that small to be throwing his body like that
He is a 5’ 11’ safety man WRs are not that big for him to be doing that
If he has to do that why is he playing that position then? I think he doesn’t ‘have’ to he just dont care bout his body lmao
Wymm “kinda” Lol
@@Feralwolf155 it was a different time with different rules he ain’t do nun wrong

Props to him mentioning Bob Sanders, dude was a fucking menace but could never stay healthy for too long. One of my favorite players to watch.
Heart and soul of those colt defenses
814 Legend, but he’s not lying him and Ryan did not care about their bodies. They’d hurt themselves tryna hurt you
Bob put on for his city for sure one of the best safeties of all time.
Bob sacrificed his body that's why he didn't last
Bob had a closet full of nothing but black Air Forces dude....he did not give a single fuck lol
Ryan was playing NFL blitz in his head🤣😂😂
John Lynch too. Brian Dawkins for that matter..
Lmao frfr
The funny thing is Ryan Clark played more games in his career than polamalu so he still had longevity
One of the hardest hitting safeties. Loved Clark and Troy playing safety for us. A magical time.
Bro he wasn't even amongst the hardest in his GENERATION. You have Roy Williams, Sean Taylor, Brian Dawkins, John Lynch, Even Reed could lay the wood down as well and I'm sure I'm missing another 5 more...

Malcom Jenkins and it’s not even close. He’s so much more versatile
Lmao no one was making a comparison
@@CS-wn2sz peep the video description
@@CS-wn2sz not that the description asked who you would rather have 🤣🤡
Ryan Clark was like "You better catch it, if not , I'm hitting you recklessly". Love Ryan Clark, coming from a Ravens Fan. Peace ✌️.
As a Steelers Fan I Truly Miss The Way He Played That Safety Position!!
Steelers legacy of dirty safeties for sure. Y'all just needed Rodney Harrison and DJ swearinger to complete the mnt Rushmore
@@natesanborn4408 he wasn't dirty he was just a hard hitting player. The Steelers weren't dirty they were just way tougher than your team.
He learned it from SEAN
@@kingdawg5830those hits would be considered targeting today
i still remember like yesterday when Ryan leveled Wes and Troy started praying for him 😂😂😂
Ryan Clark was a beast in his day
I went to the same high school as malc jenks. Ended up wearing his old jersey my freshman year cuz the old jerseys always got handed down to the freshmens. Only season I scored TD’s
You had the soul of Malcolm Jenkins in yo body for one season
Screw all of y’all crybabies
Did you keep the jersey and get it signed 🖍
That’s crazy
Cuz when Jenkins graduated
His first of college I was a freshman at the school and I wore his number
I think you lying

Exactly My comment
Troy flew around like a MuFu too and thus missed A LOT of Games .
@@treevans9560 I'm no Ryan was hitting to give Troy more freedom and to make the opposing players respect his space and he needed that money and sacrificed his body the only way he could
Man, Bob Sanders would have been an absolute beast if not for injuries.
Those players are always the ones you wouldn’t expect to go in like they do until they do it time and time again, then everyone is lookin for that hit stick.
Ravens fan here,Facts about RYAN CLARK , I believe the hit he put on Willis McGahee n the 2008 AFCCG, should give u a perfect example .
Yeah Bob Sanders was out the league way too early
That man was physical af. I used to love watching him play. I'm an Eagles fan but back in the day I used to enjoy Colts games. They had a dope team in that era and was fun to watch. For some reason they were always on here in Philly. 4 o'clock games were either them or Pitts being showcased on CBS.
Clark was a beast
Dope Ass Conversation..!!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤣🤣
He’s a Beast. Y’all see them hits!!!
Ryan was a huge hitter I don’t think many people realize or they’ve forgot. Growing up a Steelers fan I’ve seen him dish out some huge hits and KO some dudes
“YERRRRRRRVVAAAAKKKKIINNNNNNNNNNN!!!” - RYU from street fighter
Being from Pittsburgh n a Steeler fan Ryan Clark def used to punish receivers
Miss RC and the defense of that era!!! RC played hard!!!! Was fun to watch!!! ✌️
In this day in age of the NFL Ryan would've been penalized for the majority of his big hits. Dude made people think twice coming across the middle.
They would put RC out of the league nowadays.
Everyone talking about Ryan and Troy forget how good Malcom was.
Bro they never show sean taylor love anymorey
They always show him love I hear his name every few months
IRON MAN was the truth…….😢
You can only watch so much of his film tho due to him dying early.
Sean Taylor wasnt around that long....he kinda like biggie and tupac....in terms of career wise....impact but short span cant compare him to any 5 yr player
He n Ryan played in DC together
Favorite type of safety. I Ike ball hawks too but a “Kam Chancellor” type gets you hyped
HE ABSOLUTELY KILT DAT FIRST GUY FROM NEW ENGLAND....LIKE OMFG!!!
I remember wen I first got into football I would always watch clips and troys clips would always popped up I thought he was a beast I became a fan of football ever since that 9ers and ravens lights out Super Bowl raider nation
Ryan Clark is one of the most underrated hitters ever like buddy got some highlight reel worthy hits I can’t recall… I’m a huge Ravens fan so I saw #25 a lot smackin cats
Bob Sanders damn that guy was a beast in his prime. Inspiring how good he was at defense, at his size
I miss those older Steelers. My childhood right there.
I'll never forget watching Ryan Clark and Sean Taylor playing safety together in Washington. Some of my best memories as a fan.
I forgot about that duo very underrated
Man Ryan was a stud. Malcom was pretty hard too. But definitely didn’t lay it down like Ryan. Malcom’s time with the saints was ELITE.
I grew up a panthers fan featuring the almighty Steve smith so every time I see Malcom or any other db from that era I kind of start smirking
@@Hxpemare Steve Smith was something else. He was one of my favorites to watch growing up.
Bob sander was a freak athlete.
Truth is something “He didn’t care about his body” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ryan always sounded off when he hit somebody. THAT'S FOOTBALL 💪
He right tho Ryan Clark was the irl water boy 😂😂
Ryan Clark was a career ending hitter.
So was Bob Sanders almost forgot about him
those hits would be considered targeting today
Even if Troy wasn’t there for the INT, that ball still wouldn’t have went anywhere. Thank you for everything, Troy
I loved both players but I would go with Malcolm. More instinctive and made more game changing plays. with that being said I believe every defense can use a guy like Ryan Clark. He fit perfectly in Pittsburgh

Bryan Clark, big time presence on the field at all times
Yeah uh never heard of him.. Although Ryan Clark
It’s unfortunate football isn’t played like this anymore. Everything I love is being neutered.
Hear hear!
Forgot about Big Bob Sanders. That dude was a BEAST!!@
Malcolm Jenkins all day!! been watching him since he was a buckeye .. been a beast
coach used to tell us if we didn’t sacrifice our body for football we were never going to be successful
should name this the MID MEN podcast

I like how he kept it real; while still giving him his flowers.
If you know ball, you know Ryan Clark use to make it do what it does!
You realize this sentence means nothing right?
@@otothem8980 to you son lol
Guy didn’t watch too much of Troy. He put his body on the line every down
he did, but I think he was a lot smarter about it than Clark was

Straight beast

Wow 🥺😳
Both great players.
Bros a whole vibe 💀💀😂💯
Ryan played like dawkins a little bit .
Ryan clark made me a proud steeler fan. Ryan lived up to SMASH-MOUTH FOOTBALL
Man Bob sanders should be on the mount Rushmore of safeties if it wasn't for injuries. Ball hawk amazing tackler Huge hits crazy IQ. Couldn't catch tho lol
Ryan did last a good minute with how he played
Ryan hit anything in the opposite Jersey off the rip on site!
Every one of the plays they are showing mans is off his feet making the tackle thats nuts lmfao
The look that Ryan gave 💀💀
RC was laying the smack down. He played Steelers football. Thanks RC.
I blew people up, rc is different
LOL well now I see why they have all of these new contact rules.
Ryan Clark is one of my all time favorite Steelers !!! Back there knocking boys out !!!! BEAST !!!
Crazy thing about it Ryan played 13yrs
Dem boys was hittin
I got too say Malcolm because he helped. the saints win a superbowl
Clark also has a ring
Ryan was legit the most underrated player on that defense.
I really miss football
That RG3 hit was wild. Limbs flying everywhere 😂
Ryan is a Dawg 💪🏿 👌🏿♦️
Shoot… Troy too.
Troy flew around and thus missed a lot of Games.
Ryan Clark is & was A F’n Soldier 💥
Rc was different 💯💯

Ryan and James on that team, got all of us fans going, bro. That was like Ronnie Lott and Derek Thomas on the same team.
