It is becoming a pattern during this draft, but a handful of players I really liked for the Steelers came off the board just before the Steelers fourth round selection: Standford FB Owen Marecic, Nebraska K Alex Henery and Eastern Washington RB Taiwan Jones. The Steelers may not have liked any of those guys and I would […]

The Steelers answered calls to fortify the offensive line by taking a big lineman from a successful program. Presenting: Marcus Gilbert, former Florida Gator (and teammate of Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey). Flozell Adams is being held together with staples and Elmer’s glue and Willie Colon’s future is uncertain with the unresolved CBA. Here’s a talented […]

In what was a little bit of a surprise, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected DE Cameron Heyward from Ohio State with the 31st pick of the 2011 NFL Draft. Heyward projects as a five-technique defensive end and will provide some much needed youth to the Steelers defensive line. Heyward and Ziggy Hood provide the Steelers with […]

Every year, I write the same type of post saying that I’m not a big time draft expert and don’t even try to be one. Truth is, even the best experts have no clue what will happen Thursday night and the rest of the weekend. The real experts on talent evaluation and drafts are in […]

We represented the Pittsburgh Steelers in Bloguin’s 2011 Mock NFL Draft. If you follow me on Twitter at all, you know that before the draft even began I was dead set on choosing a CB. With the league’s rules making passing offense the dominant facet of the game more and more every season, I now […]

The Steelers play the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore on September 11th, 2011. Opening day. Bring it. Couldn’t ask for a better start to the hypothetical season. You know Mike Tomlin is already pumped. NFL.com has a neat flash app for schedules by team and by week. Other highlights include: The Steelers’ pitifully easy back […]

The NFL released the preseason schedules today, but then pulled the times/dates off of most of the games shortly after. Pretty bizarre. The Steelers four opponents are set in stone but nobody knows when 3 out of the 4 games are. The Steelers will play 4 NFC teams – the Eagles, Falcons, Redskins and Panthers. […]

-B- I promised myself a while ago that I wouldn’t link to ESPN’s ridiculous offseason positional power rankings, but they suckered me in. ESPN’s panel of football ‘experts’ have been ranking the top 10 players of each NFL position and last week they gave their opinions on the tight ends. Out of the 8 experts […]

It doesn’t involve the Steelers, but tomorrow is a big day for PIttsburgh sports — the Pirates opening day. The Pirates are pretty much a punchline at this point to a lot of people, but there are plenty of real baseball fans in the city who watch and follow the team, including several members of the […]

Who knows how long this will stay up before some suit takes it down, but a user aptly named JoeGilliam17 uploaded an entire Steelers/Rams game from 1975 to YouTube and it is awesome. The Steelers lose the game to the LA Rams 10-3, but it was entertaining to watch the ‘old’ NFL and see guys […]

Of course, I mean Bernard Morris, the Pittsburgh Power QB, who was placed on short-term IR with a shoulder/back muscle injury and will miss four weeks. But you were scared for a split second, weren’t you? Anyway, the injury means Kevin McCabe will get the start on Monday (Monday night football!) at division rival Milwaukee. […]

A rare non-football related post. Tip of the cap to The Pensblog for digging this up last night. An unbelievable video of the tornado in Hempfield yesterday recorded by some yinzer kid. Just try to stop watching it. http://youtube.com/watch?v= xIGMKJ0nSnA[/youtube]

Still not a whole lot going on aside from CBA nonsense. A few tidbits though… -B- Mike Tomlin is looking at the lockout as a potential advantage for the Steelers this offseason. Coach said that the Steelers are well-prepared to handle a strange offseason because of a veteran roster and a confident front office. I […]

Not much going on in the Steelers world. I got sick of CBA talk a month or so ago. Just waiting for it all to end. Anyway, we spent some time this weekend and got the beginnings of a new section on Blitzburgh Blog up and running: player profiles and salary information. For now, we’ve […]
