I know that there are a number of Steelers fans who will see the signing of William Gay by the Arizona Cardinals as a boost to the Steelers secondary. I am not among the number that believe that to be so, but i do know that there is a faction out there that really wasn’t [...]
Continue Reading →Tonight’s finale in Carolina represents the last opportunity for 27 men to state their case for employment by the Pittsburgh Steelers. It’s the end of the journey seen through 27 different sets of eyes. By the weekend, the Steelers have to reduce their roster and the dreaded “turk,” the one to inform the player that [...]
Continue Reading →While doing some interviews for Steelers TV on the practice field after Coach Tomlin “Whistled it up,” i got a chance to say hello to Trai Essex, the lineman they just signed back in the fold.
Trai was all smiles, as well as he should be. Trai found himself in no-man’s-land after no takers in [...]

On the TV, last night, was the movie “Stripes” with Bill Murray and Harold Ramis. Immediately a flashback to the early 80′s came to mind.
Tunch Ilkin and I were jogging [...]
Continue Reading →Finally, after 10 or so days of training camp, we have a feeling of a little bit of flow. Normally after a week to 10 days, players find their “sea-legs.” Meaning that they start acclimating to the rigors of pads, hot weather and funny feeling beds.
Some of the young guns that are starting to [...]

And as always my thoughts run to our oldest son serving in Afghanistan and the 100 degree [...]

The boys are back friends. Well rested and ready to talk football.
The “In the Lockeroom” show w/ Tunch & Wolf returns to 970am ESPN Radio Pittsburgh.
NEW TIMES:
Noon-2pm
Monday-Friday
In the real first test of camp with pads on Mike Tomlin went to the old stand-by and crowd favorite. The linebackers pass rushing against the RB’s and TE’s, otherwise known as “backs-on-backers.”
In this drill the offensive player is forced to read whether the inside or outside linebacker to one side is coming. It’s [...]
Continue Reading →So just this morning Plaxico Burress signed on with the Jets. I can’t help but think that Bruce Arians had a little indigestion at breakfast. The thought of adding Plax to a WR quartet of Ward, Wallace, Sanders and Brown had to be very intriguing to the man behind the offense.
The same reach for [...]
Continue Reading →Every camp has it’s own unique twist to it. For instance there was the “Purge of ’84″ where the battle cry was “You can’t make the club in the tub” (meaning that there were too many injuries and guys were getting cut because of it) to this years version of a combined FreeAgency/Training Camp where long-term parking [...]
Continue Reading →I remember walking into the locker room at Saint Vincent’s College the day after a particular vicious two-a-day practice the day before. It was already suffocating humidity wise and it wasn’t even 9:00 am yet.
