Not your typical FS. Ryan Clark caused some of the most violent football collisions I had ever seen. With clutch plays during the divisional matchup against BAL, fair to say Ryan Clark was an absolute beast. Clark left everything on the field. Don't forget to like & subscribe!

Ryan Clark #25 is another unsung hero of the 2000s defenses. His work at FS in coverage is what allowed Polamalu to excel and be himself. Without top notch FS play, Polamalu gets exposed. Lastly, Ryan Clark IS THE REASON we won that divisional playoff game against Baltimore in 2011. He took the game over almost singlehandedly on defense.

@Leeedy_1

Жыл бұрын

Well Troy Polamalu was undoubtedly the heart and sole of the defense and the team back when he played. When we needed a game sealing play, when we needed a momentum shifter to get us back in the game, whatever it was, a lot of times, Troy was the answer. But Ryan Clark was a huge playmaker, too.

Ryan Clark pretty much gave Polamalu the ability to play like he does. They were a great tandem a complimentary to one another a backup to each others ability to play on the ball .

He was a savage. I know most Steelers fans loved his hit on Willis McGahee the most of his highlights which I loved, too. But the one I like the most is the hit on Wes Welker just bc he played for the Pew Stinkland Deflatriots, and those that know me know that I hate that team more than anything on the face of this earth. Clark is definitely one of my favorite Steelers i’ve ever seen play.

There's nothing like sitting in Heinz field, hearing that crack echo from Ryan Clark hitting someone then the Roar from the crowd. haven't heard that in awhile.🤘

25 was a stone cold savage. Feared nothing. True Steeler through and through.

He hits people so ferociously it makes me gasp just watching!

Clark really did not care about his own health, went all out. He is a good commentator now too. Guy knows the game.

As a woman who is just getting into football and watching highlights of older players, trying to understand positions and plays and everything football... i sometimes seeing guys getting hit and if I dont hear the helmets clash I think its just their body... It cant be that hard. 😂 And then I watched Ryan Clark. But also, I think about being on the field and getting the balls and all of those big boys trying to rip my head off... And reality sets in. Hats off to football players. God bless them.

Just a solid guy. Good in all areas but feel like he made more out of his career than his pure talent said he should. Also was a perfect pairing with Troy.

1:29 troy prayed for wes welker after that hit 😂

Unbelievable Safety. Probably 1 of the Top 10 of ALL-TIME ! He dished out some of the MOST VICIOUS Hits in the NFL. But also suffered some devastating concussions. I hope he doesn't suffer from CTE repercussions later in his life. He really took some enormous hits to his head over his career.

Dude could lay the wood. Respect to you Mr. Clark. Also thanks for the memories.

The Steelers I grew up with were just built different

Definitely under recognized for his play. He would be an absolute monster in this Era.

Never get tired of these videos keep ‘em up

Ryan Clark was the last of the age of the hard hitting safeties. Tatum, Lott, Atwater, and the guys of yore. Hitting has been legislated out of the game. Ryan got the very end of when you could sorta still hit. A beloved Steeler by me, great ESPN commentator, and will be in the Steelers Hall of Honor.

Ryan Clark is great player that would hit you like Mack truck! Go Steelers

Going up 20 miles North of Pittsburgh and being a lifelong diehard Steelers fan, my entire life im actually old enough to remember all the 70's Superbowl wins and those AWESOME, year after year Steelers Defenses. Flash forward to the '08 Steelers Defense went down as on of the greatest of all time, goes without saying Polamalu of course was one of the best, if not the best at SS, BUT Clark was an absolute BEAST!!!!!!!!!!! How FS do you see that can lay the smack down on you like a LB, but turn around the next play and catch an interception, and stop the run like he does. Again of course Polamalu does, but he's a freak of nature.

I been waiting for a Ryan Clark highlight reel, good shit

“Looks like the ball just squirts right outta there” is wicked commentary.

Talk about an underrated player! Great video!

Ryan clark one hardest hitters in nfl history!!!!

Ryan Clark was a BEAST!🖤💛

Been looking for Clark, Harrison jersey for the longest time

The hits during his career were epic he basically turned the game around in that championship game. Going to miss the old Steelers of the last twenty years. But here’s to the next crew, Here we go Steelers here we go. Steeler Nation for life.

Legend.

I Will Always Remember The Hit He Put On Willis Mcgahee In AFC Championship But Especially The Hit He Put On Wes Welker OMG That Man Was A Bad Dude He Hit With Straight Aggression & Toughness Thats What A Steeler Is All About Definitely Underrated 🖤💛🐐

RC is one of my childhood favorites. Never a Steelers fan, but I loved the way he played. Just that whole defense. I remember watching him split McGahee in half and watching em both just lay there. Dude was like a smarter bob sanders that more let the game come to him. Troy Polomalu is a legend on his own but part of his greatness came from having RC on the free side. WILL have his Jersey one day.

Top 3 hardest hitting safeties in nfl history period ‼️ lsu alumni and Steelers legend The man RC25 ‼️‼️

Rewind to 2012 when we were up against tim tebow and the broncos. We came back from a double digit lead. First play of overtime, the bronco's do a walk off a td with thomas. Ryan clark was out that day, because of high altitude from his stem cell disease. He begged coach tomlin to play, but tomlin said id rather lose than to see something happened to you. Thats exactly what he did, if you watch that overtime play, I can almost be certain ryan clark would have been there to at least stop the play, or prevent it from being a td. He was a difference maker like troy. Hes the pippen to jordan, as clark is to polamalu. You cant have one without the other. Great duo in the secondary.

All those helmet hits that are illegal now are fun to watch.

You know it’s bad when Troy got to talk to God for a sec😭
