STEELER Trivia

O.K., Since all the previous questions have been answered, and I see no new ones, I will throw one out there.
Probably easier, and more recent...
Who knocked Tommy Maddox out of the season opener in 2004, to usher in the "Big Ben Era"?

 

Trick question, I do believe he was knocked out of the 2nd game of the season. Ben came in and finished the game against the Rats, then had his first start against Miami in the hurricane the next week. The Miami game was first of 13 in a row, until the last week when Ben didn't start against Buffalo. 15-1 record, the loss was the 1, bringing them to 1-1 before Ben's first start.

Now assuming you meant the second game of the season, I'll go with Ray Lewis

 

Joey Porter?

 

Ill admit I tried to look it up but found zilch. Interesting answer.

 

No trick. It was the first game of the season, (I Believe... My memory might be playing tricks on me, about that part, but I don`t think so...)against the Cravens... Just not his first official "start", since he replaced Tommy, but it wasn`t Ray-Ray, that knocked "Tommy Gun", out...
It wasn`t even a linebacker... (I know, because, I did research it, to back up my memory, on the answer..)...
It was a Craven...
(Ray WAS responsible for ending Mendenhall`s rookie campaign with a broken shoulder blade, tho... )

 

Wasn't it Suggs?

 

Then I guess it wasn't Suggs.

 

Biz, That`s what I thought, too, but it turned out, I was wrong, when I checked my answer...

 

It WAS Suggs.

Ha!

 

I`ll have to dig up the link I found, but they said it was Gary Baxter, cornerback for the cravens..

Dunno how to do a "screenshot", and highlight the part I read, but it`s in there, about 4 summaries down...

 

According to this it was both who hit him:

who caused the injury, I cant find right now and its too late to dig any deeper.

 

Right on, that explains why i always thought it was Suggs... LOL...

 

We all know #75 was Coachs Nolls first pick in the 69 draft.....WHO was his second pick in that draft?

 

Terry Hanratty

 

Correct!!

 

Two-Parter:

1. Dermontti Dawson is now the fourth player from the 1988 draft to be elected to the HOF. Who are the other three?

2. Dawson was the Steelers' second-round selection. Who was their first?

 

Think you are mistaken.....Cant think of ANY Members of 84 draft class to make it to hall Other than DD.....The 1974 draft had 4 HOF players in it....Swan...Lambert...Webster and Ham

 

As i recall Dawson was as second round pick in 84,,,,,Have no idea who was #1

 

Sorry not 84.....88.....Saw 74 and had 84 in my head.....

 

I have no idea as to the answers to this question, but I love this thread..
I`m gonna guess that the other three members of the 1988 draft were not Steelers...
As to #2....
Could it have been O`Donnell?! :o


I Dunno... I`m just guessin based on the time frame.... That seems early...
Maybe Tomczack?!?
Nope, thinkin that was in the past by `88...
Kordell?!?... Naw, that had to be in 90 or later...
Just throwin darts at the board, and hopin they`ll stick... love this thread...

 

Well if you love it....Read it again......

 

Myron, read it again, and again... but haven`t seen the answers to either of the 2 part question....
And won`t "google" it... that`s just cheatin`, and I won`t cheapen it, like that...

 

Ok got this.....It should be all STEELERS trivia ..But ...

Dermontti Dawson
Michael Irvin
Randall McDaniel
Thurman Thomas
