21 Days (only 3 nervous Sundays) until Steelers vs. Falcons

Maybe someone thought we were stacked at safety?

 

I played a lot of sports throughout my life, but I just can't bring myself to play a game called Cornhole.

 

Maybe because they got tired of hearing every other person b!+ch every time they drafted a Steelers family member.

 

Call it beanbag? It used to be a fun thing to do occasionally but I have become friends with Trey Burchfield who is the four time world champion at the age of 23. Playing with him and his friends has forced me to step up my game.

 

Good luck.

 

The guy who built our back deck is friends with Big Ben's in laws. He was at a picnic at their house and Ben was there and they got the corn hole boards out. Ben threw the first four bags right in the hole and then everyone else quit and decided to play something else.

 

HOF Jerome Bettis

Guess who?

loved da bus. loved andy.

 

Other than Bettis, which #36 was a Steelers 1st round pick?

 

motley?

 

12/27/75 Colts at Steelers

Andy Russell slowly made a 93 yard fumble recovery for a touchdown

Joe Greene said Russell was so slow he had to block the same guy 3 times

Someone else said they were afraid they would get called for a delay of game penalty

 

Motley was an undrafted free agent by the Browns in 1946. The player has a Super Bowl ring with the Steelers.

 

dave brown.

 

And it only took him 10 seasons to live up to that draft status

Steelers let him go in the expansion draft after one season

 

Dave Brown had a very good career with the Seahawks. He was their first player inducted into the Seahawks ring of honor.

 

Another one of my all time favorites #36 JB Bussy, time to make the doughnuts.

 

V Andy Russell

 

Underrated by many, but not Knowledgeable Steeler fans.

 

I assume Terrell Edmunds doesn't get a shoutout?! Not in the same tier in Steelers History like Andy Russell but he did have some solid seasons here; doubly so when Minkah arrived. Now, was he a reach?! At the time, no.


Pittsburgh needed either a ILB or Strong Safety. Edmunds was the latter.

 

andy russell.

 

I know Russell was 34 but it appears he was 36 for one year

 

His rookie year he wore #36 but then was in the army the next 2 years to fulfill his ROTC commitment. When he returned in 1966 he chose #34. Russell made 7 Pro Bowls, was All Pro 5 times and won 2 Lombardi's, how in the heck is he not in the HOF?

 

@AskQuestionsLater feel free to post an image of Edmunds. Walter Abercrombie has the 2nd most AV for wearing #34. Some days the tediousness of this is wearing.

 

The Steelers all-time not in the HOF team would be very good. 3/4 of the Steel curtain, Greenwood, White, Holmes; other d-line Keisel, Smith, Hampton; Russell, Wagner, JT Thomas; Merriweather, Lloyd, Gildon, Woodruff. On Offense, Willie Parker, Louis Lipps, AB, Heeeath! o-line - Kolb, Starks, Marvel Smith, Tunch, Hartings, DeCastro, Pouncey. They might even be able to win with Stewart at QB.
