From the Steelers' official website I have no idea what a BLESTO scout is, but the position will now be filled by former Steelers defensive back/special teams captain/king of downing punts at the 1-yard line, Chidi Iwuoma. This is exciting news to nobody but me, because I own this jersey: Yes, I am that kind […]

With Rashard Mendenhall moving on to Pittsburgh, Part 2 in Arizona and Emmanuel Sanders settling for a one-year deal before he likely leaves for greener pastures, depth on offense was going to be an issue for the Steelers. When the sun came up on Friday, the Steelers had three running backs: Jonathan Dwyer, Isaac Redman, and […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed running back LaRod Stephens-Howling to a one-year deal, according to the team's website. With only Jonathan Dwyer and Isaac Redman on the depth chart at the moment, the Steelers had a definite need to att RB depth. Stephens-Howling is expected to play mostly special teams and third downs rather than […]

Meet Jarvis Jones, the former-DE, future-OLB that will be joining the Steelers this fall. He was the consensus pick from the mock drafts, and Kevin Colbert made a number of people just look a little smarter. James Harrison's replacement might not start right away, but with the instability on the right side of the defense […]

Heads up: The NFL Draft is on Thursday. Other football blogs have been saturated with prospect reports, scouting updates, and all sorts of draft coverage basically since the Superbowl ended. That hasn't been going on here, because I make no secret of the fact that I know nothing about college football or the process of […]

A little bit of legitimate football news the week before the draft! The NFL schedule was released last night, giving us our first chance to really predict things for the 2013 Steelers. Despite not knowing how any team will perform, who will get hurt, or how the draft will go, everyone on the internet is […]

So the Steelers' preseason schedule has been released. DATE OPPONENT TIME ??? New York Giants ??? Mon, Aug 19th at Washington Redskins Monday Night Football ??? Kansas City Chiefs ??? ??? at Carolina Panthers ??? Well. Kind of released. We know whose third-string backups we'll get to see anyway.

According to "sources" (per ESPN Chicago), Matt Spaeth agreed to terms with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Friday. Spaeth joins the likes of Larry Foote and William Gay as players who have elected to return to Pittsburgh after some time away. He was released by the Bears a few days ago for financial reasons. Drafted in […]

 The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed veteran journeyman QB and Pittsburgh native Bruce Gradkowski to a three-year contract. This is an excellent move for a number of reasons. First, obviously, is the fact that Byron Leftwich is being held together with staples and chewing gum and simply can't be counted on to step in and perform […]

The Miami Dolphins have reportedly signed WR Mike Wallace to a mammoth 5-year, $65 million contract. The deal includes $30 million guaranteed. Mike Wallace makes more money than Ben Roethlisberger now. Let that sink in. Is he worth that money? No, no he is not. With the exception of last year, Mike Wallace was a […]

The Steelers cut James Harrison. His accolades are well-documented. 2008 Defensive Player of the Year. Perennial All-Pro selection. Author of one of the biggest plays in Superbowl history. Bane of Roger Goodell. The quintessential Steeler linebacker. Harrison's release is 100% salary-motivated. Harrison was making a lot of money. Kevin Colbert wanted him to make less. […]

It looks like a serviceable defender from the 2009 championship is making his return to Pittsburgh. You guessed it: Mark Eaton is back. Not to mention the Steelers are bringing CB William Gay back from Arizona in a bizarro, opposite-day type move. Gay left last year as a free agent and was released by Arizona […]

Everyone and their dog is picking up on this idea that the Steelers' locker room was "divided" at the end of last season. You know what? Good. They should have been uncomfortable. They should have been pissed off at each other. Because the Steelers underachieved last year and had no one to blame but themselves. […]
