This will be a weekly post where I will look ahead at the Steelers’ match-up, as well as three other key games. Not only are you going to see my detailed picks of four games, but you will also see all of our writer’s picks each week. We will keep track of these picks all […]

This is part 2 of my Preseason Analysis series, focusing on the special teams. Statistical analysis of the Steelers offensive line can be found here. Statistics from the groundbreaking web site Football Outsiders are used for these posts. Future parts (to be released over the rest of the week will feature (in no particular order) […]

Coach Mike Tomlin announced this afternoon that Dennis Dixon would start next weekend’s opening game against the Atlanta Falcons. Veteran Charlie Batch will backup Dixon. Opinions have varied all preseason over who should play during Ben Roethlisberger’s four game suspension. Even when Byron Leftwich was healthy, Steeler fans were split pretty evenly between Leftwich, Dixon, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
