The forgotten Steelers

[Bobby Bufford]

Yes, many of you will remember these players, but this is a list of players who are not often brought up, but who were pretty decent in their own right, or at least notable.

In no order of priority...

FB Frank Pollard. He was really pretty good but on teams with very little offensive talent, including QB. In 1985 he had 233 carries for 991 yards for a 4.3 apc.

DEs Keith Willis and Gary. Pretty underrated DEs. The 80 teams seemed bad, but they weren't all that terrible, like the Browns the last 30 years or so.
They only seemed bad compared to the 70's teams. They won division titles and made the playoffs. Willis and Gary were not bad.

ILB Bryan Hinkle, one of my favorite forgottens. I had beers with him.

CB Dwayne Woodruff, one of the best CBs to ever play for Pitt.

DE Keith Willis.

RB Barry Foster. Yea, a lot remember him, but he's rarely brought up as a great Steeler RB. He was pretty damn good, just got burnt out early.

NT Joel Steed. He was the beast in the middle before Big Snack.

ILB Earl Holmes. Classic plugger inside LB, very solid. Not built for today's game but very capable in his day.

Ol Keith Willis was so underrated you mentioned him twice.

There is a lot of WHY in boobie's posting habits, just a personal observation.






ONE player hardly ever mentioned is Louis Lipps. A silent favorite of mine.



Salute the nation

Lipps gets mentioned a lot, the opposite of "forgotten." Get it?

All your ideas usually come from Wire and other sites so it isn't a stretch to think you got it from there pops.

If many of us will remember them, why would they be “The forgotten Steelers”?

I remember he was known as "The Rabbi" but I'mma call him the "Hebrew Hammer" from here on out. The true OG #84.

Bubby. Was gonna include him but he was never that good. I remember him on the cover of SI, and it said "The bomb is back in Pittsburgh."

Physically, he had all the tools.

Much better than he's remembered. On some fairly bad teams.

Watching highlights like that, just shows you how slow the game used to be.

They still weren't the "forgotten" ones no matter how you try to spin it. So Ike was spot on. But by all means continue on with your drivel.
