Thats because Tomlin picked Kendrick Green. Lloyd said so.
Thank the Lord up above that someone else picked Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu to help patch things up as a result of Tomlins debacle.

Rooney once revisited the idea of having a cheerleading squad, but Tomlin turned down the offer of becoming their coach.
Lloyd told me that too.

Those guys are pretty old now, GL, and at least one of them is no longer among us. I don't think they could form a good NFL team today.

Things are going to run their course now and there's nothing anyone can do about it.
Everyone wants the same objective and that's being the last man standing at the end.

Gee really? How about the players from the 70's? Can they still play?

But Tomlin would sit his ***
Don't think so, and several greats from that decade are no longer even with us (Franco, Webster, Courson, Russell, Greenwood, etc.)
Tough to field a competitive NFL team with dead guys and guys in their 80's.

Asked with facetiousness.
Thing is you’re not funny in any way, not even a little bit. Appropriately or inappropriately.
Wow, I wish I knew that. My answers were 100% serious. Just ask Supe - he will confirm I never mock or lampoon anybody on Steeler Nation. I am as serious as a wake mixed with a visit to the oncologist.
On the contrary Coolie will confirm his answers are always 100% serious, even when he mocks or lampoons someone.
I think Blount, Swann, Bradshaw could, maybe a few others.
But the grunts on the O and D line? I doubt it.
Mean Joe was the heaviest Steeler on the roster at 280.
Hate to admit it, but I think the greatest D line ever would get manhandled today.
With everything they have now at their disposal MJG would top 300 easily.I think Blount, Swann, Bradshaw could, maybe a few others.

Captain Kirk defied all known laws of physics. Loved watching that guy play
I suppose so if you look at it that way. Lambert was I think 215, 220 soaking wet.
Imagine 20 lbs more on Jack Lambert.
A 240 lb. Jack Lambert!!! Holy mother of mercy!
I'm no expert on the training methods, supplements etc. the players receive today. Thats why it's hard to understand how such things can attribute to the freakish size, speed and strength of todays player.

Yeah they just have the best of everything now. Go look at Pouncey and Faneca and that will give you a clear picture of weight fluctuations between playing weight and retirement weight.

There are also intangibles in addition to the old guys having access to modern nutrition and training methods.I think Blount, Swann, Bradshaw could, maybe a few others.

Consider that we just watched a classic 225 pound heavyweight boxer defeat a very talented 275 lb boxer in the ultimate combat sport. Sometimes it goes beyond the numbers and those guys back then as far as their toughness and professional pride were just a different breed.
Yeah they were though, but they wouldn't be tough enough imo.
You don't think a mediocre 1985 Steelers team would crush:
And the 1964 Clowns would crush:
And those Packers would crush:
Yes, there are a lot of things to take into account.... training, nutrition, the number of coaches that specialize...the fact that the players of yesteryear had real jobs in the off season.
I'm just looking at it at face value.
No matter what, nothing of what I or you say matters because it can never be proven one way or the other.

I see your point. I would also say though that the Steelers of the 70s were tapping into the HBCU's the SEC of the time. There's a big difference in relative talent level once the league was fully integrated.Yeah they were though, but they wouldn't be tough enough imo.

Hypothetically in a mythical matchup it would just be interesting to see what those 70s guys could do with modern training and nutrition and recovery. No less than Bill Walsh has said it was the greatest collection of talent of all time. Sure, if you go go simply pound for pound it might be a sumo match.
