    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 [...]

                After reviewing tape from the season opening loss to the “Angry Birds” otherwise known as the Baltimore Ravens the total went something like this according to the research of Tunch Ilkin.

                On 26 run plays, Casey Hampton got cut/chop blocked 8 times. Defensive end Aaron Smith got whacked 4 times. Since that game the cut [...]

                  Mike Tomlin at his weekly press conference;

                  “They’re the best in the world right now. Needless to say it’s cause for concern. I’m not ready to put us in the conversation with the Baltimore Ravens defense. We aren’t close in terms of what they are doing-maybe statistically, but not the way the’re generating splash plays.”

                  [...]

                    Well, this is the week. After the beating Baltimore gave to the Steelers when the Ravens smoked the Steelers 35-7 in the season opener the opportunity for redemption is finally here. That loss to the Ravens kick-started a 2-2 opening month of the season. Since then Steelers have ripped off 4 straight wins and are [...]
