The most dangerous thing about preseason games is taking them too seriously. Even first teams rarely line up with their true starting 11, coaches are toying with everything and veteran players really don’t care that much.  All that said, seeing the Steelers come up with 3 interceptions, including one returned by Ike Taylor 49 yards […]

Most people have long ago done some sort of analysis of the Todd Haley hire, but here I’ll be looking at stats that are off the beaten path, so at the very least it’ll be a new perspective. The big thing to be noticed is that Haley hasn’t done a lot of playcalling relative to […]

File this one under ‘strange but true.’ A Steelers fan attended the training camp of the Indianapolis Colts in Anderson, Ind. and was forced to wear an Andrew Luck jersey by head coach Chuck Pagano (former Raven) after arriving in a black James Harrison jersey.  Pagano was alerted to the fan by Colts safety (and […]

Kevin Colbert told Ed Werder of ESPN over the weekend that the Steelers won’t trade disgruntled WR Mike Wallace.  The two sides appear to be very far apart and the Steelers are preparing to move on without him. Wallace is under contract for the 2012 season and, if the Steelers decide not to trade him, […]

I’m several weeks late on this, but Wiz Khalifa’s new music video “Work Hard Play Hard” is a pretty solid tribute to Pittsburgh. There are shots of steel workers, shop owners…and Pittsburgh native Steve Breaston. Breaston graduated from Woodland Hills High School in 2003. He was an excellent football and track athlete. He went on […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers will report to training camp in Latrobe on July 25, 2012 – only 34 days from today. We’re taking a quick look at current and former Steelers as we countdown to football.   Andy Russell. What a leader…heart and soul of those pre-Steel Curtain teams.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will report to training camp in Latrobe on July 25, 2012 – only 37 days from today. We’re taking a quick look at current and former Steelers as we countdown to football.     Total beast. One of the best defensive backs ever to play the game. Lake is beginning his second […]

Bigtime media news today surrounding the Steelers. Longtime Associated Press ace Alan Robinson has joined the Tribune-Review to cover the Steelers. Dejan Kovacevic broke the news on Twitter. A great day for @June 18, 2012 Robinson is as good as they come and you’ve probably been reading his AP stuff for years. Should make for […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers will report to training camp in Latrobe on July 25, 2012 – only 38 days from today. We’re taking a quick look at current and former Steelers as we countdown to football. Jon Witman played his entire high school, college and professional career in Pennsylvania. The Eastern York HS grad starred at […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers will report to training camp in Latrobe on July 25, 2012 – only 39 days from today. We’re taking a quick look at current and former Steelers as we countdown to football.   While Willie Parker’s career with the Steelers ended as quickly as it began, I hope that he always holds […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers will report to training camp in Latrobe on July 25, 2012 – only 40 days from today. We’re taking a quick look at current and former Steelers as we countdown to football. Myron “Boo” Bell was a safety who had two separate stints in Pittsburgh. He started at strong safety for Pittsburgh […]

-B- The Steelers wrapped up their mini-camp today with a little bit of fun. The quarterbacks had a longest throw competition and the winner was big Byron Leftwich, who bested Troy Smith in the last round with a throw of over 70 yards. Pretty impressive. No word if Roethlisberger participated or how far he threw.  […]

Ziggy Hood has been spending his offseason in Pittsburgh after the birth of his second child. He typically works out in Atlanta so this is a change for the 3rd year pro. Naturally, you’d think he might be slacking off this offseason being away from his usual summer training locale. That’s not the case at […]

Expectations are high for David DeCastro. That’s not an uncommon feat for a first round NFL draft pick, but it’s especially true in DeCastro’s case. He’s already penciled in as a starter at right guard for the Steelers in 2012. The term “plug and play” was used over and over again by draft experts when […]

The Steelers are at 20-1 odds of winning the 2013 Super Bowl. Eleven teams are ahead of the Steelers, so I don’t think Vegas likes the Steelers shuffling of the offensive line or aging defense very much. The Steelers might not be given much of a chance to win it all, but it certainly could be […]
