Every On random Fridays, we venture out into the Web and pull in some of the best (and occasionally worst) Steeler and non-Steeler related content on the Web. And here. we. go. Our fellow Bloguin-ites have launched an entire blog dedicated to the upcoming NFL draft. Lots of interesting stuff there, including a profile on […]

I think I probably wouldn’t draft a quarterback in the first couple of rounds if I were running the Steelers — as football czar Kevin Colbert implied Sunday — but I definitely would add a developmental quarterback somewhere in rounds four through seven. And develop him quickly. – Peter King, MMQB Sounds like most of the […]

If you’re like me, you’re already sick of the whole Ben Roethlisberger sexual assault incident that continues to play out in the media. Nobody will ever know exactly what happened in that Milledgeville, GA bathroom, but the whole thing just further clarifies one fact – Ben Roethlisberger is an idiot. As much as I love […]

This is our franchise quarterback. His name is Ben Roethlisberger. He is pictured here with his “drink like a champion” T-shirt. (By the way, this is on the first page of results on a Google Image Search for Ben Roethlisberger. Jump it.) Let’s face the facts here: Ben Roethlisberger is a giant douchebag. He’s a […]

The Steelers have been having their trademark silent free agency, and a few days into it they finally sign a few tiny names for depth/special teams. Arnaz Battle was signed from the 49ers to be a #5 WR, pretty much, and Will Allen was brought in from Tampa Bay as someone Tomlin is familiar with […]

Here we go again…no clue what to even think about this at this point. My only thought is that is curious that “they” waited to break the story until the first day of free agency, when everybody’s eyes are on the NFL. It’s also important to remember that no charges have been filed at this […]

Free agency is here and the Steelers have been typically silent so far. Casey Hampton has been re-signed and Jeff Reed has been franchise tagged, but a handfull of other Steeler players are now on the open market. Jump it for a list of the UFAs and some analysis. Here’s your list of players who […]

2009 was definitely a down year for the Steelers defensive backfield. Giving up 4th-quarter comebacks to opponents’ hurry-up passing games, missing tackles like nobody’s business, and certainly not intercepting passes. A lot of blame falls on the DBs for last season, but pessimism isn’t the answer, so we’ll highlight some of the bright spots too. […]

Good news. Casey Hampton, the anchor of so many great Steeler defenses, was signed to a three-year contract earlier this morning. The deal is worth over $21 million over a three year stretch. Hampton, 33, played all nine seasons of his career with the Steelers. Reaction: I’m never in favor of handing out lucrative deals […]

We’ll be updating this table with the Steelers mock draft selections from some of the best draft sites on the web. Post other mock selections you find interesting in the comments and we’ll add them.   Website Selection   Inside Pulse Sports Dan Williams DT, Tennessee Draft Site Dan Williams DT, Tennessee Phin Phanatic Dan […]

Over the offseason, I’ll do my beast to break down the Steelers by position in terms of how they did in 2009 and how they’re poised to do in 2010 and beyond. Today we’ll take a look at the backbone of the Steelers’ consistently dominant defense, the linebacking corps. James Harrison The Steelers’ biggest name […]

It wasn’t nearly as exciting as last year’s sixth ring for us Steeler fans, but last night’s Super Bowl was still pretty entertaining to watch. It’s hard for me to watch any Super Bowl game without thinking of what the Steelers can learn from the teams on the field. I’m sure almost all of the […]

Borrowing my favorite trend from The Pensblog again. Manning = stunned. Pitt cancelled classes for Monday due to MASSIVE SNOW so I’ll see if I can put something up about the Steelers in between writing huge papers on artifical intelligence and writing thousands of lines of code. Whatever, it’s all good right now. And with […]

Well, I’ve taken a bit of a break from posting to sit back and enjoy the playoffs, and enjoy them I did. But the Superbowl is fast approaching and with all the Brees vs. Manning hype all over the place, it feels like the right time to talk about something other than a high-flying offense. […]

In list form: 1. The best way to win in the NFL has evolved. Just a few years ago, you still won by having a suffocating defense and a ferocious running attack. In short, the best way to win a big NFL game was by running the ball and stopping the run. This is the […]
