Best Steeler OL ever

[Drink IRON City]

Max Starks, although he is NOT my pick by any means, I think he was Franchise-tagged twice.


Dawson was sweet music, did more things right than any other center….. bar none.

There are a lot of greats over the years, but then again it’s the STEELERS and they don’t fall short on great players or plays.




Salute the nation

Max met my kid at training camp 1 year and remembered her 3 years in a row after. Pretty cool

Don't forget Ramon Foster. Can't think of the other guy you may be talking about.

Beachum followed by Villanueva (how could you and Bermuda forget him?).

Best Olinemen in Steelers history, or the best OL(unit) in Steelers history?

Dawson changed the way the Center position was played I believe, he was one of the first if not the first Center that could really get out and move.
Faneca is right there, great run blocker and pass blocker, in the discussion as the best OG in NFL history.

He wasn't nearly the best, but a guy I always got a kick out of was Duval Love, and Cowher yelling at him for something. "Duval!!!" You'd see it when they mic'd up Cowher, but I remember one time hearing through the TV during a game. You heard Cowher yelling "Duvall!!!" I think he had a holding penalty or something. That was impressive on Cowher's part.

Apparently Duval has lost his mind a little. There are videos of him on Youtube berating neighbors.

You’re the only one that answered the actual question posted in the thread title.
Even Coolie didn’t answer his own question correctly.
You would think that a highly intelligent and respected moderator would be clear on the thread topic title.

The question was the “best Steelers offensive line ever”…not the best offensive lineman.

I like the line that Dermotti Dawson played on which included Alan Faneca and Duval Love ..if I didn’t get my eras mixed up. Don’t remember the others.
Goes to show you how the O line is the least remembered and least appreciated.

It can be interpreted two ways…

I answered regarding the offensive line as a unit. @CoolieMan answered, IMO, from the best offensive lineman.

Both abbreviations are still - OL

Jon Kolb. Simply a superb LT. Great run blocker, incredibly strong, superb pass blocker. Also has longevity going for him since he played 177 games, including 138 starts.
