    The One You Gott’a Have

    On December 28, 2011 By

    There are four guys that have a chance to play this weekend after sitting out last week versus the Rams. Maurkice Pouncey, Ben Roethlisberger, Lamar Woodley and Manny Sanders.

    If i had a choice to select just one of those guys that i thought was indispensible this weekend it would have to be Maurkice Pouncey. [...]

      Drew Brees had himself a fine night in the “Big Easy” on Monday Night Football. Drew blew away Dan Marino’s 27-year old single season passing yards record with a 4-touchdown, 307 yard effort in a 45-16 rout of the Atlanta Falcons. An effort which, shall we say, ruffled a few “feathers” in the post-game Falcons [...]

        Hope in Action

        On December 21, 2011 By

        Would you have pulled Ben out of the fire when it was a three-score game in’Frisco? This was the question posed to me while on air and a subject worthy of some thought and discussion.

        My answer is a simple no.

        Not if he (Ben) didn’t want out. I understand the argument for pulling [...]

          Huddle Tempo

          On December 16, 2011 By

          In and out of the huddle is a term i heard from Steelers head coach Chuck Noll time and again. Increase the tempo, pick up the pace or just flat out “Move it!” are other short quips i’ve heard used to describe the importance of getting with it in-between plays.

          Why is that so important? [...]

            Here We Go Again

            On December 13, 2011 By

            After viewing the James Harrison hit on Colt McCoy in live time from the sidelines, the first thought i had was “Here we go again.” And i’m convinced that i’m right. James will hear from the Commish, no doubt and to no one’s suprise.

            What really bothers me is that there is talk of a [...]

              Ndamukong Suh

              On November 30, 2011 By

              Okay, let’s get it out there first of all. Suh was wrong when he kicked Evan Dietrich-Smith of the Packers after getting tangled up with him on the ground. No problem. And he didn’t help himself by trying to explain his actions away after the game as merely losing his balance. That was ridiculous. if [...]

                Changing of the Guard

                On November 23, 2011 By

                The Steelers made a change today. In keeping with Mike Tomlin’s “No sacred cows” theme, and the fact that “The standard is the standard,” Doug Legursky steps up to the left guard spot in place of Chris Kemoeatu.

                Big Juicy says he’s well, that the knee is no problem but i beg to differ. [...]

                  A coup’la few years ago Steelers cornerback William Gay had a rough ride. After taking over for Bryant McFadden who departed for Arizona, William became the starter and quickly learned the ups and downs of being a “1-16″ guy (starter throughout the season).

                  Part of the difficulty of starter-dom is the fact of NFL [...]

                    Hines Ward and Father Time

                    On November 15, 2011 By

                    The addition of Jerrich Cotchery this past off-season was looked upon as an insurance move to replace the aging Antwaan Randle El. A hamstring injury shelved Jerricho for the first three games. While Hines Ward tweaked an ankle and got doinked in the second go-round with Baltimore, Jerricho did what he needed to do. He [...]

                      Mike Tomlin’s Statement

                      On November 10, 2011 By

                      “I think the fine that Ryan Clark received was excessive. I am a proponent of player safety and the league’s pursuit of improvement in this area. I, like the vast majority of people in this industry, witness daily the steep price that these young men pay to play this game on so many levels. Ryan [...]

                        James Harrison has been a monster for a long time. After suffering through two back surgeries in the off-season i learned up at training camp he had been squatting with a barbell on his back with 315lbs. Way below what i know him to be capable of.

                        What bothered me about that is James’ whole [...]
