    We're talking "underrated" here. James Farrior, Greg Lloyd, Yancey Thigpen, Levon Kirkland, etc. were never overlooked.

    How About This List:

    John Jackson - Excellent Left Tackle though undersized below 300 lbs.
    Jason Gildon - He had a good career rushing the passer and accumulated sacks regardless of how his career fizzled out at the end.
    Joel Steed - clogged up the middle, was as good as Casey Hampton.
    Deshea Townshend - loved this guy.....was a great player and was an intregral part of our Superbowl championships
    Adrian Cooper - Was a dominant blocker with amazing hands. Played behind Eric Green and got lost in a very boring Earhardt offense w/ no real QB to throw to him.

    This is just wrong. Lloyd was a machine against the run. Without question MUCH better defending the run than as a pass rusher. Heck K Greene was a FAR better pass rusher than Lloyd was.

    Lloyds sacks were just memorable (punishing and violent) which is why that perception exists.

    I do agree JH is the best 3/4 LBer we have had.

    DMVP season JH was "LT at his best" great in my opinion.

    The two Jacks were easily best for a career, but neither was as dominant as JH was at his very best.

    In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

    TCFCLTC-
    The Coach Formerly Considered Less Than Cowher

    I will always remember one block he made on a long Foster run where he just DESTROYED somebody.

    Are you sure that wasn't Eric Greene's block on Shayne Conlon (Bills LB) chasing Foster down the sideline. That was almost as bad as Gary Jones hit on Don Beebe!! lol

    Good call on Joel Steed. He was every bit the NT that Hampten was. Gilden was also a dandy in his time. All good choices.

    Did you hear Dierdorf...."that was a good, clean, legitimate shot by Jones"

    times have certainly changed.

    I remember watching this during my senior year in college in Philly. I was the only Steeler fan in a house full of Eagles fans. Steelers dominated Buffalo that game after losing to them in the playoffs the year before.

    Sucker made the catch and held on to the ball. That's strong. Would have looked good in B&G!


    We got our "6-PACK" - time to work on a CASE!
