f 7:30 PM | Heinz Field | TV: KDKA   There’s a game tonight??? These random weeknight game are a blogger’s worst nightmare, hence the terrible gameday post. Tonight it is do or die time for a bunch of players on the Steelers. A lot of them know this will be their last time walking […]

8PM : Invesco Field at Mile High : TV- FOX Tonight is a big night for a lot of Steelers. The first teamers are expected to play close to two full quarters and a lot of guys will get some real, extended looks. Maurkice Pouncey is starting at center. Dennis Dixon will see lots of […]

This is part 1 of my Preseason Analysis series. I’ll be using and interpreting the stats from the groundbreaking site Football Outsiders for each part. This part looks at the offensive line. Future parts (to be posted once or twice a week through the rest of training camp) will look at the quarterbacks, running backs, […]

Despite allowing a bit of a fourth quarter comeback on  Saturday, the Pittsburgh Steelers looked pretty good and certainly eased a few worries with their performance against the Giants. Without further ado, let’s get to the grades.   Ben Roethlsiberger, Byron Leftwich, Dennis Dixon – AYou could chalk it up to laziness for grouping all […]

7:30 PM : New Meadowlands Stadium : TV – NFL Network The first preseason game, for me anyway, was like a celebration for the return of football. That’s not the case this week. It is all business. It’s time for guys to get to work with cuts coming up and it is time to focus […]

Yeah, there’s definitely a big battle at center right now between Maurkice Pouncey and Justin Hartwig, but everybody is talking about a potential Byron Leftwich and Dennis Dixon battle at quarterback. Leftwich was thought by most to be the Steelers week one starter, but he didn’t impress Saturday against Detroit ( 6/10, 43 yards, 70.0 rating). Dixon, on the […]

7:30 PM : Heinz Field : TV – KDKA The wait is finally over. After months of Big Ben talk and feeling like a sports law blogger, I’m finally sitting down with a huge smile on my face to write a post about an actual game of Pittsburgh Steelers football. Ahhhhhhh. It might only take […]

Well, this might be one of the better pieces of news so far in training camp. From Steelers.com: Sepulveda got a chance to kick off, and he showed himself to be quite accomplished at it. On four kickoffs, Sepulveda’s hang-times were 4.07, 3.93, 3.87 and 3.70. The 4.07 kick also carried 2 yards deep in […]

As a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, August should be a time for my attention to turn toward training camp and the start of preseason football. However, this year it has been very difficult to take my attention away from the NFL draft, and more specifically the ridiculous process that rookie signing has become. Records have been […]

All of the football news the past week or so has been great for a few different reasons. It is always awesome to finally get training camp started and launch a new season, but this season it has felt especially refreshing to watch/talk about real football after the Ben Roethlisberger saga this summer. I’m sure […]

Today the Steelers signed fullback Dwayne Wright, cutting rookie LB/DE/FB hybrid Demetrius Taylor. Wright has bounced around between Buffalo, New York, and Philadelphia since he was drafted in 2007. The Steelers must really have not been impressed with Taylor — or at least saw he had no future at fullback — to cut him on […]

News just broke about 20 minutes ago that the Pittsburgh Steelers reached an agreement with former Pro Bowl LT Flozell Adams. Terms of the deal haven’t been released yet, but Adams is expected to be in Pittsburgh in time for the start of training camp. With Willie Colon on IR, this is a move that […]

Hey, only two days until training camp! Big news floating around the Steelers today. Director of football operations Kevin Colbert inked a new five-year deal. I’m very excited about this. Colbert is one of the better personnel and operational minds in the game and he has helped to continue the long tradition of winning for […]

Three days until training camp begins. Wow.

Four days until training camp gets underway. A few interesting items floating around… The Post-Gazette has a good, blog-like story on five things to watch during training camp. Is this Face Me Ike’s last training camp in Pittsburgh?  I certainly hope not, but I would be surprised to see the Steelers hand a 31-year old […]
