DALLAS -- Think Pittsburgh Steelers linebackers, think Fantastic Four.
Lawrence Timmons, James Farrior, LaMarr Woodley and James Harrison are the "4'' in the Steelers' 3-4 defense. The Fantastic Four. If you are going to employ the 3-4 defense, you need four extraordinary linebackers to give the tactic its groove.
The Steelers, of course, feature an affluent history of prize linebackers, including Hall-of-Fame ones Jack Ham and Jack Lambert. Both led the franchise to repeat Super Bowl glory.
Timmons, Farrior, Woodley and Harrison have that shot in Super Bowl XLV on Sunday.
Farrior and Harrison reach for a third ring. Timmons and Woodley for a second.
The Fantastic Four.
