The Steelers named their team captains today. On offense: Hines Ward and Heath Miller (WOOOOO HEEEEAAAAATH), on defense: James Farrior, and on special teams: Keyaron Fox. Notice any quarterbacks missing? I think that’s a good message for the team to send. Ben is still the on-field leader, but he is no longer designated as such. […]

Well, today a lot of men received some bad news: Their childhood dreams of being an NFL star are over. Not all of them, certainly, as we see gems pop up in waivers around the league, but it’s still a tough day in the NFL. A slew of trades occurred around the league, but only […]

This was quite a Thursday in Pittsburgh football. Let’s cut to the chase here: Byron Leftwich has reportedly torn his MCL. Looks like we know who our Week 1 starter will be. Suddenly Charlie Batch looks pretty valuable on this roster as Dennis Dixon’s backup. Much like the Steelers QBs this preseason, the Staff here […]

Ouch. That could have gone better, both for me and for the Steelers. Due to a surprise meeting, I got to miss the first quarter and I have no DVR means at school, so that’s a quarter I’ll never get back. Didn’t notice Pouncey at all, and that’s probably a good thing considering Jamal Williams […]

I’ve been awesome at this so far this season. Between DVRing the game while at work and moving back into college, hammering out game recaps has been a little bit tough. I should be set now though with no more job and being settled in. As for that game, this would have been a good […]

I finally got a solid night off and got to my DVR to watch the game from last Saturday. So even though it’s nearly a week late, here’s a recap. My recap style will probably change over the coming season. I’m trying to make them a little more concise if I can. Thank god for […]

As I sat here chomping down on my delicious 99-cent Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers from Wendy’s, I debated what to do for tonight’s game recap. It’s no secret that you miss nuances of the game (and I love me some nuances) when you go see it live, so obviously I can’t go into my preferred level […]

We’re a day away from the first look at Steeler football in 2010 (excluding our week 17 matchup against the Dolphins on January 3rd, 2010, of course). Are you excited? If you aren’t, leave. For the rest of you however, stick around for our preseason coverage. There won’t be a traditional play-by-play recap, but let’s […]

Before we get started, I’ll preface this post by saying I don’t have the means to really attend training camp, so any analysis I can offer is based on what I read in the Post-Gazette, other blogs, or the Steelers official website. That said, here’s my brief take on the goings-on with the Steelers lately: […]

The Post Gazette plus 300 other blogs are reporting that Mike Tomlin has signed a 3-year extension through the 2014 season. Finally, some good news this summer. The fact that he wasn’t immediately re-signed at the conclusion of the 2009 season led to speculation that the Rooneys would be letting him walk after 2010. This […]

I have been asking myself the question, “What am I excited to see this season?”  I seem to ask myself the same question each year, but I will be honest, it has been difficult this year. We all know about the off-field issues/trades/injuries the Steelers organization has had to go through this off-season, and that […]

This has been the worst offseason in recent memory for the Steelers. 2009 left a bad taste in our collective mouth, and we’ve had one problem after another piling up in the offseason. And I think it’s a good thing for us all in the long run. Yeah, you heard me. This is what we […]

If you felt confident about the Steelers wide receiver situation throughout this offseason, you’re lying to yourself. The Steelers have two proven pass-catchers on the roster. Hint: Mike Wallace isn’t one of them. Everyone else on the roster has to be in prove-yourself-mode, and at least one or two of them will have to come […]

In our ongoing series, State of the Steelers, we’ll profile each position on the team. And today, I present a topic that certainly no one is tired of hearing about, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback situation. I’m sure this will be news to you, but Ben Roethlisberger has been suspended for what we’ll consider to be […]

Well, Limas Sweed’s Achilles injury appears to be bad enough to warrant his being placed on the Injured Reserve list. As myself and my fellow bloggers have surmised, this likely is the end of Sweed’s career with the Steelers, and what a disappointment it will have been if that’s so. Sweed had a ton of […]
