A New" Sister Sports Talk Show Team, The Sport Mavericks Introduce "A New Steelers' Dynasty": Are Pittsburgh Steeler's 2004 Rookies Ben Roethlisberger, Max Starks, Willie Parker, Matt Kranchick and Ricardo Colclough Destined to Be Future Football Hall of Famers?
On Tuesday, January 11, 2005,at 8:00pm EST (voiceamerica.com), Sport Mavericks hosts, Ida Muorie and Elleanor Starks, broadcasting on Internet Radio Station (voiceamerica.com), welcomed 2004 NFL's AFC North Champions, Pittsburgh Steelers' Rookies to Sport Mavericks to talked about their first Division Playoff game on January 15th, and whether or not they see themselves as the "Steeler's New Dynasty" after thirty years. We will also asked them if there is a Superbowl in their future, and do they have what it takes to make it to the Footballl Hall of Fame.
(PRWEB) January 10, 2005 -- Steeler's made significant history this year,
when the Steeler's became the first AFC Team to end a regular season 15-1. This
achievement earned them homefield advantage and a bye-week to watch and study
their potential play-off opponents. The 2004 Rookie Class contributed
significantly to the Steelers' championship year, and it has the sports
statistician thinking that this Rookie Class could be the Steelers' New Dynasty
after thirty years.
It took forty years from its inception before the
Steelers would win a AFC Central title, and a Superbowl. In 1973,the Steelers
won a wild card playoff berth with a 10-4 record. The Oakland Raiders trumped
the Steelers with a 33-14 defeat kicking the Steelers out of the 1973 playoffs.
Following a disappointing season, the Steelers drafted 4 potential Hall of
Famers, Lynn Swann, Jack lambert, John Sallworth and Mike Webster in the 1974
Draft. In 1974, the Steelers won their first Superbowl, and repeated history in
1975, 1978 and 1979. Was it the 1974 Draft that started the Steelers' greatest
history, and can we be looking at a "New Steelers Dynasty" with the 2004 Rookie
Class thirty year later?
The Steeler's 2004 Rookie had an impressive
year, and each made "significant" individual contributions to the Steeler's
winning season. QB Ben Rothlisberger has surpass any NFL Rookie Quarterback by
leading his team to a 15-1 season. Ben took the Steelers to places even Bradshaw
never was able do during his entire career. Ben also made the fans forgive the
Steelers for not drafting Dan Marino. Ben did what John Unitas, Joe Montana, Dan
Marino and Brett Favre and every other NFL quarterback never managed to do win
the NFL Rookie of the Year Award.
When the Steelers' opponents heard the
announcer declared that Max Starks was an "eligible receiver" they knew a major
play was coming on offense. Max served as an anchor for Jerome Bettis on many of
his record 100 yard games. Starks assisted Bettis in having a record setting
year. Max is considered as the Right Tackle of the Future, and had an impressive
year.
Willie Parker(RB), an undrafted rookie free agent, had 102 yards
rushing, including a 58-yarder that set up Jeff Reed's 37 field goal during the
Buffalo Bill's game. Willie is considered as the fastest RB on the Steelers with
his 4.2 forty speed. His teammate Ricardo Colclough finish off the Buffalo Bills
playoff hopes, when Bledsoe was blind-sided by the rookie cornerback, who forced
a fumble that fell directly into James Harrison's hands for the winning
touchdown.
To round off the corp is 6'8 Matt Kranchick had a supportive
role as a back-up tight end. Kranchick size and agility gives the Steelers a
double threat. The subs were super to the end.
