That is a great observation.
You know...Anonymous,<br /><br />That is a great observation.<br /><br />You know, a lot has been made of the fact that communication between the coaching and scouting departments after Dan Rooney fired Art Jr. in 1986.<br /><br />While there is some truth to that, you certainly not say that about the 1987 draft, which netted us:<br /><br />Rod Woodson (1st)<br />Thomas Evertt (4th)<br />Hardy Nickerson (5th)<br />Greg Lloyd (6b.)<br />Merril Hoge (10th)<br /><br />We also got Tim Johnson, who while not a world beater was a serviceable player for a few years.<br /><br />You're right the "ifs" that shroud the 89 draft.<br /><br />For my money, if Stock catches the ball, we beat Cleveland, if nothing else emotion would have carried through to the Super Bowl....<br /><br />Thanks for commenting and contributing.KThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11407272159389023362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694339605194166992.post-55018477559931371992009-07-17T23:18:58.689-02:002009-07-17T23:18:58.689-02:00In hindsight the 1987 draft was the draft that sta...In hindsight the 1987 draft was the draft that started the Steeler resurgance that continues to this day.<br /><br />The 1989 helped as you said for that year."If" is a key word that applies for the 89 draft. <br /><br />If Worley kept his nose clean. <br /><br />If Mark Stock caught the ball in Denver could we beat the Browns again?<br /><br />If Carlton Haslrig could keep his mind together would we still have drafted a Fanaca?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
