When the Pittsburgh Steelers built their dynasty in the 1970s, they had incredible players on offense and defense. And perhaps nothing embodied them more than their linebacking corps of Jack Ham, Jack Lambert, and Andy Russell. When the Steelers began winning Super Bowls again in the 2000s, they had commanding presences at linebacker like James Farrior and Larry Foote. The last time they were competing for a Super Bowl, they had Ryan Shazier leading the defense. Recently, the Steelers have lacked that kind of presence at linebacker but based on Mike Tomlin’s recent comments, it seems like the Steelers have solved that issue.
