You win games that way .

1980

 

[Burgh15]

I know they have talent up front, but it is still amazing to watch the defensive line get after the quarterback and do work in the backfield. They are a fast, swarming defense.

 

[ratking17]

Freshman year was 97. Not even close. 2020 is the best defense on my time of following pitt

 

[PittLegends]

I am soo happy , I feel like I am watching the Steelers lately.
D line wins games.

 

[joeydavid]

Here's the annual reminder of the MSU fans who came here after Pat was hired and said that our defense would look lost until he got the right fit of players and by year 4 they would be lights out.

Cheers Sparty!

 

[PittLegends]

Pat is ours now.

We have a coach and a defense.....
Time to win with offense......... If I was Dzzzzzzzz and Heather i would get some money and try to win a national championship.

Plus all our d backfield made the pros.

 

[kma0043]

It appears the Michigan State type D is finally at Pitt. Just some semblance of a reliable offense please?!

 

[Slick Manager of Champs]

Walt had some very good defenses 2001-2002. Another good performance next week and I will it past those teams.

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

If you add Twyman to this front, then they are the best since 1980. The late 80’s had some good ones, but this is one is more consistent.

 

[PittLegends]

We need a competent OC.

i love Capel and Pitt Basketball, I was so excited to see Pitt hire him 2 years ago, now Im like dude shut up and coach.

why do you keep thinking about a the quitter ?

 

[RaleighPittFan]

Best defensive since 13-9.

 

[TD_6082]

Twyman isn't a quitter. He did what was best for himself and his family at the time. He could be playing on Sunday. Besides, if someone had told me a few weeks ago there would be college footbasll in 2020, I would have said that it was a pipedream.

Glad Twyman waa a Panther. We need more like him.

Hamilton, Esters, Gilbert, Walker, Siragusa, Spindler, Sims, etc.

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

Hamilton, Esters, Gilbert, Walker, Siragusa, Spindler, Sims, etc.

They weren’t all on the the same team and/or actually playing on the field together. The guys on this DL are actually playing consistently. For example) Gilbert missed a ton of games.

 

[JD1976]

Walt had some very good defenses 2001-2002. Another good performance next week and I will it past those teams.

Yeah I was just going to chime in with the 2000 team. They had a few shutouts (PSU and Temple) under Paul Rhoads.

 

[DC_Area_Panther]

I think that 1980 defense had every starter make the NFL.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

You've been Rhoads blocked!

Except for Gilbert they all played together. I chat with one of them on a weekly basis.

 

[DruidTM]

Since

Hugh Green Day’s?

 

[PittLegends]

****in love you guys.

 

[PittLegends]

Love to see you tell that to Twymans face oh brave anonymous internet tough guy

Hamilton, Esters, Gilbert, Walker, Siragusa, Spindler, Sims, etc.

???? I never racked on Twyman and just posted those DL from the late 80's.

There's more on the way with the current recruiting class too.

1976

1980 and 1981 defense were better than 1976's.

 

[docpanther26]

I’m not sure who they compare to but it sure is fun watching them. They don’t just beat blocks, they are swallowing running backs.

[CougarClaws]

1980 and 1981 defense were better than 1976's.

The 81 D gave up 48 points to Penn State...

 

[Mr. Monaca]

1976

 

[Mr. Monaca]

Since the early 80's. I was there for those defenses and they were punishing. But today's offenses are much more challenging with the way they spread things out, so I actequally think this team is more impre

 

[Ranson1989]

what gets me more hyped about this D-line is that its swiming in depth and has more talented kids coming in.Pitt national identity being that of a scary D-line wrecking havoc wherever it goes is something I can get behind.
