jebrick Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I think Max Starks was a dominate LT but that is just me. Villi was alright for the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the top 4 CB's chart for this team right now? Trice has been playing in the dime CB role. So Porter, Jackson, Bishop(NCB), Trice(DCB) would be my guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't the nimblest of guys but he got the job done. Today's speed rushers may have been a problem tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. He was one of the most technically sound tackles the Steelers had seen and in a 370lb body. He was a crap RT but a wall at LT Edited August 7 by jebrick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warfelg Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 (edited) Great for us, in the grand scheme of things he was average. EDIT - My comment was to wanting a top of the league near All-Pro LT for once and for all. I don't think we've ever had an All-Pro on any of the teams at LT. John Kolb is likely the best and closest ever and he never got any personal accolades. Edited August 7 by warfelg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steeler Hitman Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 1 hour ago, jebrick said: I disagree. He was one of the most technically sound tackles the Steelers had seen and in a 370lb body. He was a crap RT but a wall at LT I am in agreement with your sentiment. He had the body and physical traits to be a dominant RT. Unlike Dan Moore, he was able to move to the right side. However, he was much better at LT in my humble opinion as well. He did have some problems with the speed guys, but he had an underrated nasty streak! John Jackson turned out to be pretty good as well. For a tenth-round draft pick that almost got dumped, after Pat Swilling feasted on him in a pre-season game, he developed into a pretty solid LT. I loved Villy, but I think Jackson was a more well-rounded LT (run and pass blocking) than even Big Al was. He wasn't the second coming of Anthony Munoz, but then again, not many can be mentioned in that class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would still give the edge to Wilson but YMMV Russell is more experienced and should have the edge. I have said for a few years and still say that the value of letting a young QB sit and learn behind a veteran is invaluable. Pre-season is still a different speed than game speed. Last year, even I drank the Kool-Aid on the development of the offense and OL based on those first-team reps versus other #1 and #2' without the game planning, etc. That being said, I like how Fields has met the challenge thus far and hope Russ stays healthy all year. I think the 2025 version of Fields may be something to look forward to if he is allowed to develop and not put in the microwave of games so to speak. That was part of Kenny's problem.

Maybe OL is important? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
