A Steelers Story: Birth of Blitzburgh | Pittsburgh Steelers

[@Tiger_Woo_dds]

Man, oh man. This is the 30th year becoming a Steelers fan. Bam Morrison. Kevin Greene. Carnell Lake. Rod Woodson. Barry Foster. Levon Kirkland. Brings back memories. ❤ Stairway to Seven!

[@cindym.823]

Great memories and what a great coach, Mr. Dick LeBeau!! 💛🖤

[@willr4880]

I was a kid when they went to the super bowl against dallas. I remeber crying after that loss.

[@cjdayne3033]

Me too. My first Super Bowl. My dad was so happy when they won the afc championship game. We were so excited watching the game and I felt so sad for my dad and coach cowher when he hugged his wife and told his daughters “it’s ok sometimes you win and sometimes you lose” I was 7 at the time but I remember it and I have so much respect for Bill Cowher

[@derbydanger5125]

This was my first Super Bowl memory too. I remember winning the AFC championship game and Dad and I went out to the grocery store right after. There were people in cars honking in celebration, and Dad was honking back smiling ear to ear, there were people on the streets waving towels and cheering and I was so confused because I didn't fully grasp what winning that game meant to our team and to the city. When I asked why people were so excited, my Dad said, "Buddy, wait until you see what it's like when we win the next one." I've been watching ever since.

This is the Steeler defense that young me watched, when I was 13. I became a Steeler fan right then, because of how they played.

Let's go Steelers

This was awesome ❤

[@tellmechris88]

Woodson and Greene still has sooo much football left in them after they left the Steelers it was so sad to see them go and succeed elsewhere

Wow, great memories :)

[@blacksmith44]

The only thing wrong with the loss in Super Bowl 30,was the interception that O'Donnell threw in the end. That defense was fine.

[@aycee3564]

These guys had fun, and as fans, we could see that. It was so friggin' infectious. Even to this day, Kirkland rumbling around and engulfing someone with a beefy sack, Lloyd with a huge hit off the edge, Greene with that wild man energy, and 4 or 5 hitting the QB or RB 5 yards in the backfield - that's what the Picksburgh Steelers are to me. There's a bit of heaven in there. Never have I wanted a team to win a Super Bowl so bad. Oh man, for so many years, I felt so bad for Cowher and the team for not having a big time QB. Then Ben came along late, and I knew it, right then and there, he was a guy who'd lead the team to - and I said it that day in 2004 - two, maybe three, Super Bowl wins.

Awesome ! Levon Kirkland says what every fan and HOF voter should hear starting @12:05

[@wraith1117]

Was awesome to se Greg in these vids. But I for one, need to see him get that gold jacket. A much deserved HOFer for sure. How does one become on of the most feared, most devastating D guys in the NFL, and not make the HOF? JMHO.

[@obviouslyPSM]

Man I was way too young to remember this when it happened (I was maybe 3 at the time lol) but this is extremely awesome. Makes sense why I started to like this team in the first place

[@ConorCusack]

Watching with my signed Kirkland jersey on!!!!!

Im a coal miner and I other team relates to me more. Our coal makes the steel that makes the country. Love Pittsburgh.

[@PatHutchison-x2v]

I was a rabid fan in 94, and that chargers loss was devestating. But let’s be real. We probably don’t beat that 49er team In the Super Bowl. But I sure would have liked to see them try.

[@AaronLesterMedia]

Still can't believe we lost to San Diego. Im still sick. Dam it man... But hey things happen for a reason.

It was "60 minute men" Blitz burgh was definitely in the paper

[@LanceMoseley]

Nice. I can't wait for part II the pace is fast but hits the 🗝️ elements. When is part II release date?

[@mc1993]

Never forgive Cowher for showing Kevin Greene the door. That was the end of Blitzburgh, the end of Quiver & Quake.

[@dpoe7426]

The Super Bowl win didn’t help?

[@mc1993]

@@dpoe7426 Steelers lost that SB. Cowher tossed him aside so Jason Gildon can start. Gildon was an opportunist LOLB, not a game wrecker like Greene or Lloyd. In the 4 years Gildon replaced Greene; 0 Pro Bowls in 61 starts, 31.5 sacks, 5 forced fumbles, 3 fumble recov, 0 ints. Greene in those same years: 2 Pro Bowls in 51 starts, 52 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, 9 fumble recov, 2 INT. He came in 2nd as Defensive Player of the Year in 1996. Cowher is a great coach, but piss poor evaluation by Cowher, and he killed Blitzburgh. Stats alone don't cover what Greene meant to the city and Steeler Nation meant to Greene. When KG talked about it he got emotional. RIP Kevin Greene.

[@keithnodaros2876]

Although I loved Green, linebacker heaven continued until LeBeau left. Loyyd was a mean sob. To this day pgh still carries the 3-4 olb philosophy however football in the nfl has changed requiring more coverage type backers in the middle. Nobody will ever match Kirklands size and athleticism!

[@paulknapp6967]

How did Cowher get rid of Greene? We had a GM Tom Donahoe! That would have fallen on him.

[@Tiger_Woo_dds]

Wasn't due to the expansion draft? Carolina

[@709techs]

1989 I started watching football and living here in Baltimore where there was no team I watched the skins , jets and 49ers. But in 92 I saw my first Steelers game and Lloyd became my favorite football player. I’ve been a Steelers fan since. I hate Dallas, I despise Baltimore and Neil O’Donell should never step foot on the south side ever again lol

[@TheStrategos392]

Dick Lebeau should have two busts in Canton. One as a player, and one as a coach.

[@Divinegame580]

[@remydirt3158]

God i miss dick lebeau coach t is great defensively minded coach but man the players labeau had in his arsenal just complimented the plays he had

[@marlonnicholson8410]

This is the scheme the 2024 Steelers should implement more. Rushing 4 and playing that bum ass zone on the back end depending on Watt to make every single play gets us exposed every single time especially in the playoffs. Tomlin era defenses are nowhere near as creative as the Blitzburgh era was.

The rat bird Ravens are despicable but I'm surprised none of their defenses had a name. Or none that I've ever heard.

The Steelers franchise won more games than any team in the league the 15 years Bill Cowher was the Steelers coach... How is that overrated?
