Former Steelers’ CB Willie Williams Recalls Blitzburgh Era, Career Year In ’95

When you think back on some of the great defenses in Pittsburgh Steelers’ history, the 1995 Blitzburgh defense certainly has to be right up there with some of the teams from the 1970s dynasty and the 2008 Steelers’ defense.

Of course, the Blitzburgh era defenses didn’t win a Super Bowl, but there was quite a bit of talent there, and really helped put the Steelers back on the map as contenders under young head coach Bill Cowher. Names like Greg Lloyd, Kevin Greene, Levon Kirkland, Rod Woodson and Carnell Lake stick out from that era, but there were certainly some unsung guys from that era that played major roles as well.
