I took in my last training camp practice of 2010 at Saint Vincent this afternoon. So after practice I settled into a chair sitting ringside on the field because I like to check out who’s doing something extra. Who wants it bad enough to put in a little non-paid overtime work after Coach Mike dismisses [...]
Continue Reading →The Steelers practiced their special teams as usual today, and were working on punt returns with the return man on the Ten-yard line learning to judge whether or not to return or let a punt bounce into the end zone.
Steelers rookie wide receiver Antonio Brown positioned himself under a punt with the cover team [...]
Continue Reading →I wish somebody had told me to take a nap before my first night game, even if it was difficult to chill out. I was so wired up during the day that I felt exhausted at kickoff.
I wish somebody had taken the time to show me how to adjust my jersey on my shoulder [...]

Nobody works harder than Aaron Smith. He’s the consummate professional. I’ve often said he (Smith) is the Mike Webster of this generation in offering consistently superb play on a daily and weekly basis. He doesn’t have bad days, he IS bad days for others.
A couple days ago, Aaron, sweaty, hot and tired after chasing Dennis Dixon in [...]
Continue Reading →The first thing you look forward to while you’re droning on in the thump-thump existence of training camp is not breaking camp. That’s too far away. No, the goal is to get to the pre-season and play a game. After a week or so of days spent whomping on teammates, or vice-sersa, setting your sights on another [...]
Continue Reading →There’s two special players in camp that I’m really looking forward to watching in the pre-season. Steelers rookie wide receiver tandem of Emmanuel Sanders and Antonio Brown. So far they are meeting the expectation level of their position coaches and gaining ground in their knowledge of the system.
But everyday in camp is a new [...]
Continue Reading →It was a Steelers reunion in Canton Ohio. With the induction of Dick LeBeau and former Steelers Offensive line coach Russ Grimm, not only were the Pittsburgh Steelers there in full attendance, but several ex-Steelers came to pay their respects to the enshrinees.
Ex-Steelers and current Cardinals Joey Porter, Clark Haggans and Alan Faneca paid [...]

I like the way the four prodigal sons have returned home. Byron Leftwich, Bryant McFadden, Antwaan Randle El and Larry Foote have all come back snorting, chomping at the bit, working hard and leading by example and ready to contribute, and mentor younger players.
I like the spike upwards in the play [...]
Continue Reading →Maurkice Pouncey; looking like the number 1 he’s supposed to be. Excellent athlete who so far has shown that he can figure it out.
Jason Worilds; Aggressive and hard working, got a hammie just when he needs to be on the field getting reps. Prior to injury, he was noticing that the offensive guys got stronger [...]
Continue Reading →The Steelers held a night practice “under the lights” at Latrobe High School and it was their first one in full battle regalia. You have to love the vibe when the Steelers hit the field in front of 12,000+ rabid Steelers fans.
Things got hopping in the blitz drill known as backs on backers. Either [...]
Continue Reading →It was another hold onto your keester day at camp, but the hitting matched the weather throughout the afternoon practice.
While watching internal running Maurkice Pouncey pulled down the line from his guard position and trapped the wang-dang-doodle out of some defensive lineman on the far side whose number i couldn’t get. All the elements were there, the low contact [...]
