I remember Donnie Shell and he was one of the dudes who hit Earl Campbell and knocked him backwards !! This dude was a missile & Troy Polumalu could 've played with anybody due to his humble attitude and the way he jumped over the line to sack the Quarterback , no one I mean no one has ever done that before,ever !!!! These dudes belong,and as a STEELER fan I am honored !!!
Donnie shell should have been in the hof long ago I remember watching him when I was a kid and I fell in love with steelers and the steel curtain donnie was a hard hitting safety and the hit he put on earl Campbell was awesome people talk about the hit that Steve Atwater put on Christian okoye, nothing compared to donnie shells hit because he took earl Campbell out of the game .
It’s so weird I wasn’t even a football fan until my best friend introduced me to one player in 2009 and that was Troy Polamalu, became a fan ever since and to see him here it is euphoric
me too, as a rugby fan growing up had no clue about the football until my friend introduced me to troy polamalu and became a fan of his and steelers ever since
That couldn't have been said during Donnie's career there weren't that many teams way back then. the quote actually is from the great John Facenda, of course, and it is, " there are 29 teams in pro football, and then, there are the Pittsburgh Steelers." said on the Steelers nfl films video at the beginning of the 1979 season.
9er fan here. But I ain't gonna lie. I watch the Steelers play , just to watch the guy with the long hair. . lol... #43 is a real HOF . good luck Troy .
Donnie Shell now makes it 5 former Steelers in the Hall of Fame from their 1974 Draft class alone(Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, Mike Webster, Jack Lambert, and Donnie Shell) That is ridiculous. Talk about a draft haul
I know! That's crazy right, 5 HoFers in one draft class. Didn't they also get JT Thomas and Randy Grossman that year. D Shell makes it 10 HoF from that team, and there should be more. LC Greenwood should have been inducted a long time ago, and maybe D White also. Another guy that was one of my favourites was Ernie Mills. I love that team, but especially that defense. Getting back to the 1974 draft class.... how does that happen? Strike gold with just about every pick, it's impossible. But when a team is able to pull off a draft like the Steelers did in 74, you end up with the greatest sports team ever
So glad they put Donnie in finally. 51 picks and 4 super bowls he was a hard hitter and great pick off artist. Now if Andy, L.C., and kolb could get their so do rewards!
Santa Baby, brought me the best Christmas ever last year an official NFL Legacy #43 Polomalu jersey and better yet it fits beautifully. I was dumbfounded that he found one and super happy and grateful. Love to Troy and his beautiful family.
@3:06 I was at that game!😁 I hated to see Troy get hurt after having such an amazing almost full 1st half. He kinda was never the same after that knee injury 😞
There has been a buzz so to speak from HOFers saying that it's become too easy, or that lesser players/coaches etc, to get in.For all of the arguments aside. Troy Clearly deserves To be in Canton. He was in every respect, a 'game changer'. Much like Ed Reed, Troy on the field made Offensive coaches have to change plays on the fly just to try and keep the ball as far away from him as possible. But in the end, that was a futile task. JMHO.
The Steelers might have the most defensive players in the Hall than any other team, don't quote me but I can't think of another franchise that has as many
Seriously how in the fuck does Troy do all those moves like a tumbling weed in the middle of the Characteristics of a hurricane mixed with a cyclone spiraling then parallel to the ground flying like a jet airliner ...i bet he sings in his head some Indian song to get in that warrior mode but also runs like a mustang and gives that look stare real serious I'm gonna put myself In time out everytime I axe him someting same like coach Tomlin all them franchise coaches ...but even Troy humbles and shows respect to errbody 😆 I love misspelling words on porpoise ... Troy I didn't see you down the Ribfest . ..are you gonna play this year? I'm gonna guess yes but maybe no .respectfully your friend Jenny from Daisytown🤜🤛🥇💛💛💛👁👁🌼🌻💌
Come on men. All gentlemen, all with pockets deep enough. The host's pinstripe suit is fine, but when he turns his back you see that giant gap between stripes from the poor tailoring. Other guys sitting down with their jackets still buttoned. Cowher with the bottom button of his vest secured. Another with street shoes on. Troy without a tie. At least Donnie Shell is in good form.
Cowher is a good coach not great, unfortunately he came from the schottenheimer school of reason. Being a linebacker with the Browns and then being a defensive minded coach, especially with the linebacker core was all fine and great, but his secondary always was the weak link, until Polamalu came along. The secondary improved drastically but this wasn’t until 2004. He lost a lot of AFC championships, the plays he ok’d from the coordinator were hardly creative and predictable. He wouldn’t have a ring if it wasn’t for ROTHLISBERGER and especially that game saving tackle against the Colts in which Bettis fumbled. Both of them would not have a ring if it wasn’t for Big Ben. That team was 6-10, before Ben got there. He wasn’t even going to pick Big Ben in draft, Dan Rooney is the one who told him to, because he was going to pick a offensive lineman. Making the Steelers competitive again he did do, but to have only 1 Super Bowl victory with all the talent that came and went, not good.🖖

Congratulations Troy! You definitely belong in the HOF 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

The great quote from the beginning of SB XIV (or in the middle)
@@sandranorman5469 It couldn't have been that long ago there weren't that many teams back then sb 14 was in Jan of 1980.

Love you Troy! Thank you.
Watching the clips... Yeeaah go Troy!!! Best wishes to all of you!!

Troy Polamalu, a spectacular player, you deserve the 2020 H.O.F.
I am proud of them

As a life long Steelers fan, I always tell them like Donnie said, "there are 31 football team, and then there is the Pittsburgh Steelers".
The Steelers might have the most defensive players in the Hall than any other team, don't quote me but I can't think of another franchise that has as many
I think the Bears and Packers might
Ronnie lott won 4 superbowls with Pittsburgh
um no he was never a Steeler sadly
Wait..what?
I’m not a stealers fan but they did beat my raider in many times
Here we go Stiller’s..........
S Ronnie Lott' need to be a halifamer and is one of the most dangerous safety's in the nfl history other then troy polimalu and Edd Reed
He is a HOFer
I would run into a wall for Coach Cowher.
Are there any 70's Steelers NOT in the Hall of Fame?

Troy has style James Bond would wear. Only studs can. Great no tie.
@@csu3524 Google image search James Bond... nothing like Troy. Fully dressed and elegant.
Really?! Smh!
