![]() Hopefully he’ll be able to go home tomorrow.” “He’s feeling much better,” Chiefs President Carl Peterson said Monday. – Trent Green sustained a “very, very severe concussion” when his head was slammed into the ground by Cincinnati’s Robert Geathers and will be hospitalized at least until Tuesday, the Kansas City Chiefs said. © 2023 Pittsburgh Steelers.Digital Replica Edition Home Page Close Menu Also, I believe there is a bit of Steelers fatigue at work among the Board of Selectors after having 5 members of the organization elected in 2020-21 that while unfair is definitely real. I just believe it's more difficult for wide receivers to get elected because of the proliferation of passing offenses in the NFL and the rules changes that have made it easier for players to thrive in that phase of the game. Do you feel there are any negatives on his resume keeping him from having a bust or is it just timing?ĪNSWER: I personally don't see any holes in Hines Ward's resume, and in addition to the numbers you cited I also believe he is deserving of recognition for being a physical presence at wide receiver as a blocker for an offense that primarily was run-first throughout his career. Hines also was part of two Super Bowl winning teams and was the MVP of Super Bowl XL. VINCE GRABOWSKI FROM MILWAUKEE, WI: With 1,000 career regular season catches, over 12,000 yards receiving and 80-plus touchdowns, not to mention that in his career he missed only 7 regular season games, it would be great to see these accomplishments of Hines Ward rewarded with an enshrinement in Canton. In that game, Mansfield started at center, and the starting guards were Clack and Gerry Mullins. But as for Super Bowl X, Webster played in the game, but he didn't start at either center or guard. There was a time when Mansfield and Webster rotated at center, and there also was a time when Webster saw playing time at guard. As an example, on the play in the 1972 playoffs that came to be known as the Immaculate Reception, the offensive line was made up of Jon Kolb and Gerry Mullins at tackle, Sam Davis and Bruce Van Dyke at guard, and Clack at center. During the early 1970s, Chuck Noll alternated centers by quarter – first that rotation involved Ray Mansfield and Jim Clack, and then later in the decade, the rotation included Webster. Was Webster injured?ĪNSWER: Mike Webster didn't become a full-time starter until 1976, and he also only started one game in each of the 19 seasons. I knew that Ray Mansfield continued at center the first couple of years Webster was in the league, but I thought Webster started at guard until Mansfield retired. As the offensive line was introduced, Mike Webster was notably absent. LUKE McDERMOTT FROM LEECHBURG, PA: NFL Network recently re-broadcast Super Bowl X, the Steelers' first matchup with the Dallas Cowboys with a Lombardi Trophy at stake. Within this group, there seems to be little understanding of how difficult it is to get to the Super Bowl, let alone win one, and they also seem to forget or choose to ignore some of the extenuating circumstances behind some of the failures in the playoffs they are so eager to rehash. As for why fans "it seems annually, question Tomlin's job status," my opinion is that there is a segment who believe they are entitled to having their favorite team in the Super Bowl and/or win the Super Bowl every few years. Why do fans, it seems annually, question Tomlin's job status? How would you rate Tomlin as a head coach in the league?ĪNSWER: I'll start by answering your second question first, so that all of the readers itching to label me a homer or an apologist will be able to move onto another question or to another story on : If I owned an NFL team, I would hire Mike Tomlin to be the coach. ![]() The Steelers organization is a model of consistency starting from the top. During 16 of those years, Mike Tomlin was the coach and has never had a losing record. The next closest team is New England with 22 years straight. FROM SARASOTA, FL: The Steelers have not finished last in their division in 34 years straight. ![]()
