his wife said you cant get good sushi in pittsburgh and for some reason, it was a story..
Seahawks offered him huge money when he hit the FA market, i think they just went to a 3-4 defense too when everyone was mimicking the steelers zone blitzing scheme back in late 90s.
He started out inside and did well but moved to OLB and he had a great year, 96 i think. but he was a california guy as im sure his wife was and west coast types usually dont like our steel city.
Talked directly to Chad Brown's wife at a CU homecoming game - who the sushi comment was attributed to - asked her directly about that and she was adamant that it was made up and she never said it.Chad Brown left because there weren't any good sushi restaurants in Pittsburgh at the time.
i would imagine they do. by the ocean, very large asian demographic, it makes sense.
The Steelers cut Ed O’Neill and he ended up being a star. Does that count?
This aged like milk.
Outside of a few examples like Brent Jones, Vrabel, Unitas and Len Dawson, most players mentioned weren’t deemed busts or cuts. They left because the Steelers couldn’t / wouldn’t pay them, or because the team had other options available at their position.
Happens to other teams too we just don’t follow or are aware of their mistakes like we follow the Steelers. You think 30 teams are getting killed for passing on JT WATT and Cam Heyward ?
Two different styles of play. He fit the style the 49’s played way better than the Steelers
When I read this, the first thing that popped into my head was when Bubby Brister had the "I believe in you. Yes you can!" banner put up in Three Rivers to try to inspire his garbage offensive line to play less like garbage.
