ed. note: Panthers recap is almost done, just haven't gotten it all put together and posted yet. There are always a few suprises among the final roster cuts, which the Steelers announced today. The Steelers' contribution to that department would be the release of last year's leading rusher and as-of-two-days-ago odds-on favorite to be the […]

The Steelers have announced several roster moves to get the team under the 75-man limit. Pos. Name Move DE Nick Williams Reserve/Injured List LB Sean Spence PUP List G Justin Cheadle Waived/Injured List CB DeMarcus Van Dyke Waived/Injured List T D'Anthony Batiste Released RB Baron Batch Released T Mike Farrell Released WR David Gilreath Released […]

The big practice for real football put to rest some fears we had about the Steelers. Ben was slinging the ball around the field, and just as importantly, his offensive line was giving him time to do so. The Steelers got into some penalty trouble across the board, but the only real problem came when […]

     This is the last professional game a lot of men are ever going to play, as the first round of roster cuts comes on Monday. A lot of those guys won't even see much action, as the third game of the preseason is traditionally the "dress rehearsal" for the regular season, and most […]

The Steelers' backfield is a war zone right now. Le'Veon Bell is out with a foot sprain, Isaac Redman and LaRod Stephens-Howling missed the last game with various dings, and Baron Batch has also spent time on the sidelines since the showdown in DC last week. Jonathan Dwyer pretty much carried the load on Saturday, […]

Looks like Le'Veon Bell is the latest victim of the dreaded Lisfranc injury, following Matt Spaeth onto the injury report. While Spaeth will be out half the season, the Steelers don't seem to think Bell's injury is as serious. I don't know about you, but I had never heard of this injury before this year, […]

It's only the preseason. The games don't count. It's different once September rolls around. These are cliches that are thrown around when a supposedly good team struggles in August, and they are cliches for a reason: they're usually true. That said, when is it going to be okay to worry about the Steelers' offensive line? […]

Been a long while since I've done a proper recap. Good thing it's preseason. Let's get back in the groove.   FIRST QUARTER Le'Veon Bell opens the game with a few nice physical runs. A little bit of a scuffle breaks out after a play with David DeCastro right in the middle of it. I […]

FedEx Field, Monday, August 19th, 8:00PM, ESPN      Week two of the preseason is upon us, and the Steelers will travel to Landover, MD to play the Washington Redskins. Robert Griffin III is still recovering for his torn ACL and while he's practicing, Mike Shanahan won't be playing him. Griffin is a heck of […]

This is not a Patriots blog. In fact, this is the opposite of a Patriots blog. To the point where I have seriously considered buying a Bernard Pollard #49 Chiefs jersey because of the scene pictured to your left. You see, on opening day in 2008, Bernard Pollard rushed in on a safety blitz against […]

       Real live football gets underway for the Steelers tonight as they host the New York Giants. Nothing but respect for the Giants franchise. Tomlin says exactly everything you want him to say, including the plan for starters to get limited playing time, one series or 10-12 snaps. In reality, that probably means […]

In addition to all that optimism that surrounds every training camp, there's the overarching feeling of negativity about practices and preseason games. Namely, the fear that players will get injured. And players will get injured. The Eagles have already lost Jeremy Maclin and the look of their offense has changed entirely. With that in mind, the […]

Training camp is a weird time for a football fan. There's pretty much no actual news unless someone gets injured, but with everyone ready to talk about football, good news gets manufactured. This kind of stuff gets thrown in training camp by every team, every year. In my mind, this came to a head last Saturday […]

This got kind of pushed aside for me as training camp opened, but Pittsburgh's favorite badass football coach showed his more progressive side and became one of the very few NFL coaches to join Twitter. He's
