Yesterday on ESPN, Steve Young said that the origin of the big hits in football that everyone is buzzing about lately was the 3-4, zone blitz defensive scheme that was invented by the Steelers in 1993. And as a Steeler fan who has some recollection of that time, I think he just might be right. The Steelers have always been on the cutting edge when it comes to defense. It's just what they do. The NFL has been outlawing defensive moves invented by the Steelers since the 70s. But maybe that's a good thing when it comes to player health. I, for one, don't want to see football become like the movie Rollerball. The 1975 version with a young and rather studly James Caan. Not the old gangster character that he is today.
