Why the Steelers are great...

Decided to do a blog on why I like the Steelers and why I think they are the best team, period, in the NFL. So here goes.
The defense unit is just amazing, you look at that defensive line from Aaron Smith to Casey Hampton and that is enough to ruin your day if you are an offense trying to get a win, but it only gets worse from there. then you have some of the most dominant linebackers ever to play the game, in fact they hit so hard, the league has to change the rules to save other teams from these linebackers, guys like James Harrison, www.twitter.com/LaMarrWoodley , Lawrence Timmons, and list goes on. Then you got the best safety in the game: www.twitter.com/tpolamalu who changes the way offense approach the game. Then there are all the unsung heroes who keep supporting the rest of D and make those guys look good.

The offense doesn't get recognition that it deserves, for example Big Ben is rarely if ever listed as one of top qbs. but other than Tom Brady, who has more superbowl wins than ben, answer: no one, not Brett, Payton or anyone else currently playing,hmmm. The league had to go and change rules to keep Hines Ward from blocking people too hard downfield. Sad commentary, he blocks which really no other wide receiver does on a consistent basis and gets penalized for it, if a competing player cannot keep watching for people blocking, how is it Hines' fault?!? Hines is a former qb, so for him to accomplish what he has, speaks volumes to his character and determination.

So I get why people hate on the Steelers, their team just doesn't match up to the Steelers, the players don't try as hard as them, and the list goes on. Hate on em, but recognize that they are the model of what teams copy in the effort to get a superbowl ring of their own.
