    As a foreigner looking in I can appreciate the Steelers - perhaps because they're similar in many ways. Tough, hardnosed, cold-weather football team in the same division as us.
    Don't get me wrong I get the whole division rivalry thing, but I can still respect them in a sense unlike the suspect cheaters from New England.
    An incredibly succesful team no doubt, but I've got NO love or respect for them. Just a descipable bunch of ... from the owner to the QB.

    We hate the Steelers because they are just like us; we don't respect Patriots because they crybaby cheaters.

    It's a little bit of an urban myth that he is one-dimensional player. Due to ridiculous depth on that Alabama front, he didn't need to play 3 downs a lot but at times he did - this shows through TFL numbers if you didn't watch too many games. 

    In roughly half the number of snaps played, he has just 1.5 sacks less than Garrett but the most extraordinary thing about Williams is his effectiveness. For his career, he managed to get to QB on 25% of passing plays and that number in 2015 was 28% +. This is unheard of, he was in a QB's face once in less than 4 snaps. College average is about 10%.

    Even if he was one dimensional player, with those numbers I honestly couldn't care less.

    Kinda like Randy Moss is a one dimensional player, but one dimension is all he needs. ;)
