Charlie Jones, much underrated

Hearing Charlie Jones gives me that split second nostalgic memory. The one where you really feel like you're in that place. For me it was the late game on Sunday afternoon laying on the living room floor on my stomach watching the Chargers, Broncos or the Raiders in the early 80s feeling great but dreading bedtime and school the next morning. Those memories need a name because they are hard to describe. It only lasts for a second. I always try to keep thinking about it to try to make it last longer but it's gone. Have to wait a few months then it will happen again. Only a split second but boy it is sweet.

He became a good receiver.

the Steelers played the Bengals in 77 and Lambert got kicked out of the game for hitting somebody to hard....... I think it was played in Cincinnati.By change do you have that one......

Steelers came out with a win, but it exposes some of their problems in 80. Bert Jones had all day to find receivers. No pass rush (Steelers would only have 18 sacks in 1980), a secondary vulnerable to the quick, short pass. I think by this year most teams had adjusted well to the new passing rules.Notice that Swann only had 1 catch, largely because opposing defenses were learning to use the 3-4 and use the zone. Surprised Bradshaw didn't go to the tight ends more. Plus, he missed two potential deep passes late in the game.

You are so right, lack of pass rush was a HUGE problem for the Steelers in '80. It was non-existent and -- along with injuries and age -- was one of the main reasons for our decline. I would argue that our secondary was still outstanding and filled with playmakers, but with no pass rush, even the best of secondaries will get exposed. Swann played hurt all year. Stallworth completely missed almost the entire season. Bradshaw was already badly beaten up by game 5 and he was a complete mess during the second half of the season. He never got close to being 100%. Swann, Franco, Lambert, Thornton, Greene, seemingly everybody missed time. But ultimately, I think your point about the lack of pass rush might've been the biggest problem. The Steelers ALWAYS turned the ball over a lot. But the defense allowed them to be a high risk, high reward offense and get away with it. In '79, the Steelers turned the ball over more than any other team in the NFL, yet they still won the Super Bowl. In 1980, they were still a turnover factory but the defense was no longer strong enough to cover those warts. There's a fine line between winning and losing and 1980 was the crossover point for that Steelers group. I was 12 years old at the time to this day, 1980 remains the most disappointing football season I've ever experienced.

My most disappointing seasons were 1985 and 1998. Both teams were coming off AFC championship appearances and were in contention much of the year but faded down the stretch. IIRC the records were 7-9 both years.

Cutting Dwaine Board in 1979 and not drafting Rulon Jones in 1980 really hurt the pass rush and an aging defensive line. Banazak had a good season in 1979 but wasn't a factor again in his Steelers career. Dunn was a very good interior guy, Beasley was OK. The 1980 team needed a healthy Stallworth and a reliable kicker or else it would have gone back to the playoffs.

I think Keith Gary was drafted in 80 but elected to play in Canada instead? That hurt. The 1980 schedule had to be one of the all-time toughest. The 80' Steelers had an excellent roster. Unfortunately, injuries kept allowing quality opponents to nip us on the scoreboard.

Gary was drafted in the first round in 1981 and Anthony Washington, a DB, was drafted in the second round. Guys selected after the Steelers' picks in those respective rounds, Mike Singletary and Howie Long. Ouch.
