Roethlisberger & Pouncey Plan On Practicing Today, Woodley Not Optimistic This Week

By Dave Bryan on Wednesday, December 28th, 2011 | 1 Comment

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and center Maurkice Pouncey both plan on practicing today according to Twitter reports by Scott Brown, Mark Kaboly and Ed Bouchette. Kaboly reports that Roethlisberger has absolutely no limp at all walking through the locker room today and that he looks 100 percent fine. Brown reports that Pouncey said he is “pain free” and that he is playing Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, and that he means it this time. Both Roethlisberger and Pouncey sat out last week against the St. Louis Rams as they both recover from left high ankle sprains suffered Read more [...]

Emmanuel Sanders Says He Will Return Kickoffs Again This Week Against Bengals

By Dave Bryan on Wednesday, November 30th, 2011 | No Comments

Mike Bires is reporting via Twitter that wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders, who replaced Antonio Brown as the Steelers kickoff return man against the Chiefs Sunday night, told reporters today that he’ll do it again Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Sanders returned 4 kickoffs against the Chiefs for 77 yards Sunday night and Brown only had one fair catch on 3 punt return opportunities. It seems that head coach Mike Tomlin will let Sanders have the kickoff return duties for the time being and pretty much said as such on Tuesday during his press conference. As far as the recovery of the Read more [...]

Antonio Brown Leads NFL In Catches Over Last 4 Weeks

By Dave Bryan on Monday, November 14th, 2011 | 2 Comments

Dale Lolley pointed out today on Twitter that Steelers second year wide receiver Antonio Brown leads the NFL in catches over the last 4 weeks with 26. I double checked the numbers and it is indeed a true stat. Brown has been targeted 40 times in the last 4 games and has caught 65% of them for 364 yards. Catches are fine and dandy, but perhaps an even greater stat is that 22 of the 26 balls he has caught have resulted in a first down or a touchdown. That is 85% of balls caught producing more than just a catch. He is averaging 14 yards per catch over that span and 9.1 yards per target in addition. Mike Read more [...]

Steelers Ravens Week: Terrell Suggs Drops F-Bomb During Conference Call

By Dave Bryan on Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011 | 3 Comments

Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs did not disappoint the media today during his conference call in regards to the upcoming Sunday night game at Heinz Field. Dale Lolley and other members of the media tweeted that Suggs dropped the F-bomb less than one minute into his conference call when he used the F-word when he said, “f@#$ it. Let’s do it.” Suggs had some other great zingers and said that he considers Heinz Field to be his Madison Square Garden. When asked if he owns Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, Suggs replied, “No man owns anybody, but if there’s anybody who can bring him down by Read more [...]

Report: Steelers NT Chris Hoke Has Nerve Problem In Neck

By Dave Bryan on Wednesday, October 26th, 2011 | 5 Comments

Dale Lolley reports this morning that Steelers nose tackle Chris Hoke is struggling to return to game ready action as he tries to recover from his latest stinger suffered against Jaguars. Lolley reports that the issue is that this is the second such stinger that Hoke has suffered in a short period of time and that the nerve sheath still hasn’t regenerated. Lolley goes on to suggest that this will likely be an issue for Hoke for the remainder of the season. Yesterday Mike Tomlin described the status of Hoke as status quo and made it sound like he will indeed miss his second straight game Read more [...]

Ben Roethlisberger Wants To Run More No-Huddle Offense

By Dave Bryan on Wednesday, October 19th, 2011 | 2 Comments

Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger met with the media today before practice per his usual and told reporters that he thinks the offense needs to run more no huddle. He went on to say that he likes to run no-huddle because he’s calling the plays and working off what he sees and claims he lobbied to use it Sunday against the Jaguars but was shot down. While these early comments are being relayed by Dale Lolley and Mark Kaboly on Twitter today, it will be interesting to hear the full context of the interview later on today. It will also be interesting to see the rebuttal by offensive coordinator Read more [...]

Steelers Six From Around The Web – August 24th – McFadden Rumblings Louder Edition

By Dave Bryan on Wednesday, August 24th, 2011 | 4 Comments

I suggested a few days ago that Bryant McFadden could be the one out come final cut-downs and it seems that sentiment is picking up steam now as Dale Lolley now reports that rumblings are getting stronger that McFadden may indeed be the odd man. Ike Taylor, Aaron Smith and Emmanuel Sanders were all back on the practice field Tuesday in some capacity. Taylor and Sanders will still be ruled out for the Saturday game against the Falcons. Left guard Chris Kemoeatu said that he indeed plans to play Saturday against the Falcons after missing the first two games because of swelling in his knee. Ben Read more [...]

Steelers 2011 Training Camp – Day Twelve Recap

By Dave Bryan on Monday, August 8th, 2011 | 1 Comment

Day 12 of Steelers training camp started with a transaction as it was announced that defensive end Ty Boyle had been released and defensive end Jarrett Crittenton was claimed off waivers from Seattle to take his spot on the roster. Boyle is the nephew of Penguins CEO and President David Morehouse and the Steelers might have done him a favor by inviting Boyle to camp. Another move was made on Monday as receiver Hines Ward was activated from the active PUP this morning so he could participate in his first full practice today. Ward was still recovering from offseason thumb ligament surgery when Read more [...]

Steelers 2011 Training Camp – Day Eleven Recap

By Dave Bryan on Sunday, August 7th, 2011 | 1 Comment

Not much to talk about on day 11 of Steelers training camp as the players had off on Sunday and will resume practice tomorrow. Late last night an article surfaced about the short free agency period that Willie Colon went through and how his agent thought he might be a fit for the Bears even though they wanted him to move to guard. Remember Doug Worthington? He was the Steelers 7th round draft pick in 2010 and he was signed by the Redskins today after a brief stay with the Buccaneers. Former Steelers special teams captain and reserve linebacker Keyaron Fox signed with the Redskins as well Read more [...]

By Dave Bryan on Friday, August 5th, 2011 | 3 Comments

Day 9 of Steelers training camp got off to a great start when it was announced that LaMarr Woodely had signed a 6-year, $61 million dollar extension. Woodley was currently carrying the franchise tag that was set to pay him $10 million plus in 2011. The extension now means he is under contract through the 2016 season and he know will count around $6.35 million against the Steelers 2011 salary cap.
