Steelers-75th Anniversary Team

JasP24 · October 26, 2007 4:25AM

Steelers 75th Anniversary Team announced...Maybe some additions are due the All-Time Steelers set?

OFFENSE
Terry Bradshaw - Quarterback (1970-83)
Jerome Bettis - Running Back (1996-05)
Rocky Bleier - Running Back (1968, 1970-80)
Franco Harris - Running Back (1972-83)
Bennie Cunningham - Tight End (1976-85)
Elbie Nickel - Tight End (1947-57)
John Stallworth - Wide Receiver (1974-87)
Lynn Swann - Wide Receiver (1974-82)
Hines Ward - Wide Receiver (1998-Present)
Larry Brown – Offensive Tackle (1971-84)
Dermontti Dawson – Center (1988-00)
Alan Faneca – Guard (1998-Present)
Tunch Ilkin – Offensive Tackle (1980-92)
Jon Kolb – Offensive Tackle (1969-81)
Mike Webster – Center (1974-88)

DEFENSE
Joe Greene – Defensive Tackle (1969-81)
L.C. Greenwood – Defensive End (1969-81)
Casey Hampton – Nose Tackle (2001-Present)
Ernie Stautner – Defensive Tackle (1950-63)
Dwight White – Defensive End (1971-80)
Jack Ham – Outside Linebacker (1971-82)
Jack Lambert – Middle Linebacker (1974-84)
Greg Lloyd – Outside Linebacker (1988-97)
Joey Porter – Outside Linebacker (1999-2006)
Andy Russell – Outside Linebacker (1963, 1966-76)
Mel Blount – Cornerback (1970-83)
Jack Butler – Defensive Back (1951-59)
Carnell Lake – Safety (1989-98)
Troy Polamalu – Safety (2003-Present)
Donnie Shell – Safety (1974-87)
Rod Woodson – Cornerback (1987-96)

SPECIALISTS
Gary Anderson – Kicker (1982-94)
Bobby Walden – Punter (1968-77)

I'd say Hines Ward and Alan Faneca are no brainers..Polamalu and Hampton, probably need a couple more years...The other 8 on this list that are not part of the Registry All-Time Steelers set are debatable...Not sure I'd vote for any of the others (if I had a vote..lol)

The team all time sets seem small to me ,Well the Redskins set is for set.

If you look at the 75th anniversary Redskins many names should be on the all time skins set that are not.

75 YEARS WOW cool to have team like the Skins ,Steelers ,Bears ect that have been around that long

Did they do a 75th Anniversary Team? I remember they did the top 70 Redskins of the first 70 years or something, but don't remember seeing a 75th all-time TEAM, like by position. If you have it post it, I'd like to see who they selected.

70 players, I mean that's probably a little too broad as far as showing the true all-time GREATS of the team by selecting each position. If they had it down to 25-35 like the Steelers team, would be alot more meaningful (to me anyway)...

I actually emailed the registry two weeks ago about getting Hines added to the set. Agree that Polamalu and Hampton aren't quite ready for the set.
