Isaac Redman, Carey Davis among final cuts

Per PG: Running backs Carey Davis and rookie Isaac Redman, linebacker Bruce Davis and veteran cornerback Anthony Madison were among the players cut today by Coach Mike Tomlin as the Steelers began reducing their roster to the 53-man limit.

All AFC North preseason team

Numerous media outlets and blogs have been publishing their picks for the best of the AFC North so we figured we’d throw our list into the mix. Here’s a few things to keep in mind as you read over the list: We went with a 3-4 defense since that’s what the Steelers play. We made […]

Steelers 17 Bills 0: Still fly

While we were watching the first half of this game, it was obvious which team was the reigning Super Bowl champions and which one wasn’t. It’s been a while since I’ve watched a football game and seen one team complete outclass the other, but that’s what I saw tonight. The Steelers defense ate Dick Jauron’s […]

Week three of preseason crucial to Steelers

I’m not a coach and I don’t even pretend to be one online. But I’m pretty confident that Mike Tomlin and his staff are penciling in tonight’s game against Buffalo as the most important matchup of the preseason. Obviously, the starters are actually going to get the majority of the playing time and this is […]

Is Rashard Mendenhall going to be a bust?

I can’t get that question out of my mind. It feels completely unfair to even throw out the term “bust” when a guy has only had 19 carries in the NFL. It goes against everything I typically stand for when it comes to evaluating players. But Rashard Mendenhall hasn’t once looked anything other than a […]

On Isaac Redman

Much has been written and said about rookie running back Isaac Redman, who scored both TDs in the Steelers first preseason game and recently dominated a goal line drill in practice. So who is Isaac Redman? We spent the offseason dreaming about Rashard Mendenhall and Frank Summers plowing over tacklers into the end zone, not […]

Steelers 20 Cardinals 10: Still on top

Steelers 20 Cardinals 10 Getting excited over a player’s performance in a preseason game is the definition of “carried away.” In a lot of ways, a preseason NFL game isn’t even football. The playcalling is different, the coaching is different, and obviously, the players are different. That said, it was damn good to watch the […]

Charlie Batch and Dennis Dixon scare me

For the first season in a long time, the thought of a serious injury to Ben Roethlisberger has me sweating bullets. Roethlisberger has always been prone to injuries, but thankfully the Steelers have had somebody ready behind Ben who could step up and do the job. In 2006, it was Batch who came in and […]

It’s not really just a game

E:60 is the one show on ESPN where the World Wide Leader actually does the heavy lifting and delivers some real journalism. Tonight they showed a story on Steeler fan Bob Zinski and it was one of the most inspiring and well-done media pieces I’ve seen in a long time. Zinski was diagnosed with terminal […]

Steelers training camp: Week one

The first week at Latrobe has come and gone without much more than a few minor items of note. There weren’t any Mike Vick sightings or signings; Ben Roethlisberger hasn’t revealed any more details about the alleged sexual assault; Mike Tomlin is still all swag; and most importantly, there were no injuries to any stars. […]

Troy Polamalu is an awesome person

I was going to just add this recent interview Troy Polamalu did with Pittsburgh Magazine to a list of links, but after reading through it, it definitely deserves its own post. The whole story is worth spending the time to read and goes deep into Polamalu’s new role as a father, his faith, and of […]

Heath Miller signs extension

Signing one of the best all-around TEs in the league to a long-term deal is a great thing. Big Money will be in Pittsburgh through the 2014 season, at least. Heath is in line to spend 10 seasons in Pittsburgh and may end up being a lifer. The numbers? $35.3 million over six years plus […]

What we can learn from the Ben Roethlisberger saga

When news broke of the civil lawsuit being filed against Ben Roethlisberger, Steeler fans didn’t know what to do. Some laughed off the charges as a money grab, some started calling the QB “Rapelisberger” and others were just plain stunned. No matter which camp you were in, fans of the Steelers were united on one […]

Programming notes…

Just a few things of note as training camp gets closer by the second. (By the way, Ziggy Hood signed today.) We’ve jumped on to the Twitter bandwagon. Be sure to
