The Pittsburgh Steelers hardly suffer in the linebacker department. With iconic player after iconic player, they’ve put together some of the most entertaining cores in NFL history. There’s a few guys I wanted to put in this but simply could not find quality footage. As always, thank you for watching & supporting the channel by being here. I love Yinz to death! 🖤💛 (btw there will be another video tonight, this went through processing hell & had to be redone. It was scheduled originally for last night)

Means the world fellas 🖤💛 Can’t wait to piece together some more

My dad wasn't a big football fan and I've never been to Pittsburgh. I was probably drawn to the Steeler uniforms as a little boy. I stayed with them because of the linebackers. Violent, fast, always top of the league. I respect great linebackers and occasionally, I'll watch film of greats like Butkus and Taylor. I can always watch Steelers clips cause their linebackers are always good.

Ham and Lambert laid the ground work for what is today's Pittsburgh linebacker corps. Lambert, who was my favorite, scared the crap out of me when I was a kid but as an adult I think the scariest, most feared was James Harrison. The best duo would have to be Lloyd and Greene. Everyone in between and after put their mark in Steeler history and I can't wait to see what comes next! Best Steeler channel by leaps and bounds Yinz!

Id say so!!!! 🖤💛

(also on another note ... for another position)... Steelers are one of the rare teams to have an "unbroken chain" connecting all of their running backs. I traced it far back as before Frenchy Fuqua... but I usually just say... "back to Franco". Meaning that their runningbacks now, played witth someone who was on the team with someone who ...etc..etc... was on the same team as Franco. Some teams have broken the chains to their past and cut entire backfields and have no connection to the positions ancestors. Steelers have not "totally" shed their running backs, receivers, or linebackers at least dating back to the early 1970's when they started winning. So the chains connecting those positions are pretty strong and the reason for this being important is that it does preserve the traditions and knowledge that is passed down from one group to another. There was a time when the Steelers actually got close to losing the chain link at Running back ... this was in the late 1980's when they had drafted Tim Worley and Hoge... but I believe Pollard was still on the team at the time.. and I can't remember if Earnest Jackson was before or after that. I was at one time gonna write a book about all this and call it the "Unbroken Chain". But alas, I lost a lot of the material I had researched, and a whole bunch of other crap divided me from it. btw.. just as a note and a prime example.. one team that I had looked at briefly apparently had broken their chain. The Redskins currently have no direct connection to the running backs in their past. Such as John Riggins. Is it a wonder then, why the team struggles to maintain a running attack like they used to anymore? As if they forgot how to do it. Connecting things like this is like connecting lineage or forming a tree that has a root. If it's gone... it is a "New Tree" If it's still there... then the roots or foundations continues the strength on and on.... The Linebackers, are definitely still chained together :D

@@ItzYinzburgh Actually I think the receiver tree is quite well. I know Ward was connected to Stallworth pretty easily as he was on the team with some others who were either with Lipps, Johnson, Graham, or Thigpen... and that put it with John... thus Swann... etc all the way back to the early 1970's... Pretty much all of the receivers right now are at least connected to Ward through Brown and some others.

Great one!!

From the Steel Curtain to Blitzburgh. Definitely some of the greatest linebackers in the league. They were so athletic and could turn a game around in 1 play. Enjoyed these clips from the best channel on You Tube. So glad you’re a die hard Steelers fan. Keep em coming.
