Casey Hampton a.k.a.
From the Trib Live quotables from Mark Kaboly; “I like the heat. I welcome the heat. It keeps you warm. My quick-twitch muscles can function a little better. Maybe I won’t pull nothing.” —Casey Hampton, the Steelers’ 325-pound nose tackle, on the forecasted high heat for Tampa…
Top Pass Rushing Tandems
In the lockerroom this afternoon (FoxSportsRadio 970 11-1 Monday-Friday), Tunch Ilkin and I got into a discussion of the top pass-rushing tandems in the NFL past and present. We came up with a list that included; Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney (Colts), Lawrence Taylor…
Aaron Smith Stuffing the Run
Chris Johnson is an amazing player. It’s hard to put into words his speed. Harder still to shut down that speed. With his ability to slide, glide and hit the after-burners, keeping containment is like riding a bull. You are always just barely hanging…
Post-Game Thoughts. Steelers vs. Titans
After riding the bus over to LP Stadium from the team hotel, I stopped into the Steelers locker room to drop off my luggage 3-4 hours before kickoff. I went in to see Steelers Head Trainer John Norwig to bum some sunscreen since I had…

Helmet Tossing
So I’m standing on the sidelines of the Steelers complex watching practice. It looks like a pretty good day tempo-wise for the players. There’s crunch in the hits, and bodies are flying around. Suddenly, across the way there’s a scrum. Somebody’s a little honked…
Cracking the Rock
A sledgehammer game. That’s what Sunday was. Not pretty, not full of highlight reel plays or over thinking. It was basically a double-fisted two chin-strap head banger’s ball in the trenches. As a youngster, I drew the dubious duty one day of having to…
Maurkice Pouncey and Gameday Cliches
Opening day is special. As the Steelers prepare to take on the Atlanta Falcons tomorrow at Heinz Field, I know what the players are going through. The day before the game is a time to get right. Mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually as you…
