    didn't Jack Lambert play at around 220 lbs?

        Farrior is still one of my all time favorites to have watched play (Im only 29).

                During the Lambert era, yeah. But not during the Farrior era, though.
                Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

                Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

                We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

                We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                    I think Jon Kolb was the heaviest Steeler OL at 275.

                    Joe Greene was also 275

                    I remember watching in awe...Jon Kolb benched 500+lbs during training camp

                        This looks like possibly the most intriguing question mark going into camp.

                            One of my all-time favorite Steelers. I really don't think that in this day of super-star players, he was as known as he should have been. I still hold out hopes of getting my jersey signed by him. Great Steeler! (BTW, been a fan since 1972.)
