James Harrison Compares Current Steelers’ Defense To Dick LeBeau’s

The Pittsburgh Steelers franchise is known for its many all-time great defenses. From Hall Of Fame defensive tackle Joe Greene in the 70s to reigning Defensive Player Of The Year T.J. Watt, the Steelers’ organization indeed has no shortage of elite defensive talent throughout its storied history. Perhaps the most prominent defensive coordinator in team history is Dick LeBeau, who ran the zone blitz defense throughout his ten-year tenure with the team. This featured all-time greats such as safety Troy Polamalu and linebacker James Harrison. On Monday’s episode of Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger, Harrison was asked to compare LeBeau’s defense to the Steelers’ current one.
