I agree Harrison is the best ever LB in Pgh history at his peak. If he didn't have such a late start, he probably would be a Hall of Famer. Brown seemed awesome but wasn't that great in Seattle so I don't know. But, was the Harrison group better than Lloyd's? Kevin Greene and Lloyd on the outside with Kirkland and Brown in the middle? I don't know man, that is hard to beat. Let's not forget the greatness of Greene and Lloyd.
King Kong himself couldn't make Deebo look like a pussycat. When healthy, he impacts almost every play - pass or rush. It's amazing. His leverage, power, quickness and firepower with his hits is incomprehensible. I have seen Lambert get ran over like a VW bug being hit head on by a Mack Truck (Both Earl Campbell and Pete Johnson did this.)
Well, they certainly weren't bad but they don't deserve mention among these 3 groups. I actually had beers with Hinkle. But Merriweather was one of the only players to hold out to the point of never playing for the Steelers again - he ended up in MN and didn't do all that much.
Dobre Shunka/ Good Ham
Count dracula in Cleats/ Jack Splat
The lieutenant, Andy's rank in the military
We are not comparing era's and who could of done what, we are comparing the groups and which one the best. The only player in the other group that can even sniff the HOF is Greene.
The Lambert group has the credentials, multiple pro bowl selections, SB's, etr.
