Video: Ziggy Hood’s offseason workouts are insane

Ziggy Hood has been spending his offseason in Pittsburgh after the birth of his second child. He typically works out in Atlanta so this is a change for the 3rd year pro. Naturally, you’d think he might be slacking off this offseason being away from his usual summer training locale. That’s not the case at […]

Is the “plug and play” guard a myth?

Expectations are high for David DeCastro. That’s not an uncommon feat for a first round NFL draft pick, but it’s especially true in DeCastro’s case. He’s already penciled in as a starter at right guard for the Steelers in 2012. The term “plug and play” was used over and over again by draft experts when […]

Steelers at 20-1 odds to win 2013 Super Bowl

The Steelers are at 20-1 odds of winning the 2013 Super Bowl. Eleven teams are ahead of the Steelers, so I don’t think Vegas likes the Steelers shuffling of the offensive line or aging defense very much. The Steelers might not be given much of a chance to win it all, but it certainly could be […]

Five Questions Facing the Steelers’ Offense

While this has felt like a quiet offseason for the Steelers (an early playoff exit never helps), the team has undergone some significant changes. Todd Haley will replace Bruce Arians as offensive coordinator. The offense’s heart and soul, Hines Ward, has elected to call it a career. It’s not like the team will be lost in the […]

Video: A behind the scenes look into Antonio Brown’s workouts

-B- Antonio Brown’s rise to stardom last year may have seemed like it came out of nowhere, but as the saying goes — overnight success takes 10 years. Brown is one of the hardest workers in the NFL and much has been written of his offseason workouts with Chad Ochocinco and others.  Brown’s at it […]

Steelers already the hottest ticket for 2012 season

Although it seems like just a few weeks ago that Eli Manning and the Giants hoisted another Lombardi trophy at the conclusion of the 2011-12 NFL season, tomorrow marks the first of May.  With another NFL draft weekend behind us–and OTAs & Rookie Minicamps just around the corner–now its time to look ahead to the […]

Florida RB Chris Rainey drafted by Steelers in 5th Round

The Steelers selected Florida running back Chris Rainey in Round 5 of the 2012 draft with the 159th overall pick.  Rainey is an entirely different running back from Rashard Mendenhall and Isaac Redman: he’s only 5-foot-8, 180 pounds and is likely to have more of an impact on special teams and in the receiving game than […]

Steelers choose Alameda Ta’amu in 4th round

After many experts forecasted the Steelers going after a nose tackle early in the 2012 draft, the Steelers waited until the 4th round to select a defensive lineman, choosing Washington’s Alameda Ta’amu. He’s 6’3″, 330 pounds and projects to be a massive, run stopping nose tackle a la Casey Hampton.  The Steelers actually traded up […]

Steelers pick Ohio State’s Mike Adams in 2nd round of 2012 NFL Draft

  As favorable as the situation was that the Steelers found themselves in during last night’s first round, the war room had to be feeling even better tonight when two highly rated offensive tackles were still on the board when the Steelers made the 56th pick of the 2012 NFL Draft. The Steelers choose Ohio […]

Steelers select David DeCastro with first round pick in 2012

The Steelers took Stanford OG David DeCastro with the 24th draft pick of the 2012 NFL Draft.  DeCastro was the top rated offensive guard in the entire draft and projected by some as a top 10 player overall. Most mocks had him going at 11 to the Kansas City Chiefs.  DeCastro was compared by some […]

Photos: Steelers reveal 80th Anniversary throwback uniform; fans meltdown

The Steelers, with the help of RB Isaac Redman, finally revealed the throwback uniforms that they will be wearing in 2012 to honor the team’s 80th anniversary.  The are….unique.

Steelers Unveil 2012 Throwbacks; Everyone Simultaneously Vomits

This photo, apparently taken in a public restroom at the Steelers’ facility, features Isaac Redman sporting the Steelers’ latest money-making venture throwback uniform. It’s a replica of the 1934 Steelers, a team that went 40 freaking years before not being a laughing stock. We’re not sure if these are supposed to look more like bumble […]
