Is Joe Greene the best defensive Steeler ever?

I thought he left one of the last two Super Bowls they played in with that injury.

 

Greene
Lambert
Blount
Ham
Polamalu

 

It's very hard to pick.
So I just go My first understanding of it.....
Mel Blount was My 1st favorite ....and then after that...
Ham, Lambert, Greene, Troy P., Harrison, Foote, Kirkland.....GEEZZZZ.....way too many......I better just stop.

 

Mean Joe had to be double or even triple teamed on every snap freeing up the other lineman for the tackle. The fact that the other 3 were very good in their own right made running the ball against the Steelers nearly impossible.

 

Watt is your guy when healthy and so was Polamalu.

 

Watt got paid he’s probably going to be out a lot now nothing to prove or achieve at this point.

 

Watt> greene

 

He might be. Gotta give credit to Troy though

 

in terms of talent yes, but so far no.

 

Mel Blount was so damn good that the league changed the rules just to give wr's a fighting chance

 

Aaron Smith and Casey Hampton might be the best ever at their respective positions in the type of 3-4 they ran.

 

Ham, Lambert, Green, Blount, Polamalu, Woodson are all on the short list for best ever at their respective positions, how do you pick one?

 

You start by spelling Joe Greene's name right. This is a message board for Steelers fans and it's in the title of the thread!

Greene was the cornerstone of the Steel Curtain. All due respect to Ham, Blount. Lambert and the greats who came later, Greene is the man.

 

Hines was so good that the league changed the rules to protect defenders

 

Greg LLoyd would bite his head off and hand it back to him.

 

Very good list, I would put Franco in for Troy

 

I hate to get into these conversations also because there are so many I could leave someone off the list.

 

What? You are no longer a big Ogunjobi guy?

 

Mean Joe Greene hands down.

 

big ben hotness your killing me with those avatar pics

 

Would you say Watt has come a little close????? At least in a few games.

 

I think I've told you this 100 times in the past and this time I'm going to tell your Mom if you don't stop playing with the avatars.

 

No.

No.
