Report: Steelers May Have Interest In Talking To Hue Jackson

By Dave Bryan on Wednesday, February 1st, 2012 | 10 Comments

Alby Oxenreiter, Sports Director for WPXI in Pittsburgh, reports via Twitter this afternoon that a source has told him that Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin may be interested in talking to recently-fired Oakland Raiders head coach Hue Jackson about the still open offensive coordinator position. Jackson has long been speculated as a possible candidate for the job ever since it was announced that Bruce Arians would not return next season. Jackson began his coaching career at his his alma mater, Pacific, in 1987 and has since had several coaching stops at both the college and professional Read more [...]

The Coordinators They Are A-Changin’

By Jeremy Hritz on Thursday, January 26th, 2012 | No Comments

By Jeremy Hritz Bob Dylan said “the times they are a changin’.” If he is following AFC North football, he may be considering a lyrical revision. It looks like the Pittsburgh Steelers are not the only AFC North team that will begin the 2012 NFL season with a new coordinator. On Wednesday, Chuck Pagano, defensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens, accepted the head coaching position of the Indianapolis Colts, taking over for the recently fired Jim Caldwell. Pagano, in his first year as the defensive coordinator for the Ravens, lead the defense to a third overall ranking in yards allowed, Read more [...]

The Terrible Podcast – Discussing Arians Departure, Future OC & Championship Games Episode

By Dave Bryan on Tuesday, January 24th, 2012 | 2 Comments

Season 2, Episode 71 of The Terrible Podcast is up and David Todd and I get right to the Bruce Arians side of the story that came out last night. Arians said he was not offered a contract for next year and the Steelers said he retired, so we play around in the mess grey area in the middle there and discuss whether or not Steelers President Art Rooney II handled it right and if indeed he was the one that made the decision and not Mike Tomlin like he said would happen. Easy to figure who we think made that decision. We move on to talk about the recent report by Chris Mortensen as it relates to what Read more [...]

Super Bowl XLVI – New England Patriots Versus New York Giants

By Dave Bryan on Sunday, January 22nd, 2012 | 2 Comments

Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis is now set as the New England Patriots beat the Baltimore Ravens 23-20 in the AFC Championship game earlier in the day and the New York Giants beat the San Francisco 49ers 20-17 in the late NFC Championship game. It now sets up a rematch of Super Bowl XLII that the Giants won 17-14 in Glendale, Arizona. Both championship games were very entertaining and each were decided basically by one play. In New England, Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard field goal with 15 seconds left in the game to give the Patriots the win. The Ravens took possession of the Read more [...]

Video: Baltimore Ravens Fan Freaks Out After Billy Cundiff Missed Field Goal

By Dave Bryan on Sunday, January 22nd, 2012 | 9 Comments

The Baltimore Ravens lost to the New England Patriots 23-20 in the AFC Championship game as Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff shanked a 32-yard field-goal wide left with with just 15 seconds left in regulation that would have tied the game and likely sent in into overtime. One Ravens fan did not take the loss very well as you will see in the Youtube video below and went into full blown freak-out mode. He tells everyone to get out of his house and cusses Cundiff, offensive coordinator Cam Cameron and even quarterback Joe Flacco. The video is quite entertaining to us Steelers fans I must admit. Strong Read more [...]

AFC & NFC Championship Game Previews & Picks

By Dave Bryan on Sunday, January 22nd, 2012 | No Comments

Championship Sunday is here as the Baltimore Ravens take on the New England Patriots in the early AFC Championship game and the New York Giants take on the San Francisco 49ers in the late NFL Championship game. Here are my previews of both games and predictions for each. AFC Championship Game: Ravens at Patriots Preview: The Ravens want to slow this game with running back Ray Rice in hopes of keeping the Patriots high flying offense of Tom Brady off the field much like the Pittsburgh Steelers were able to do earlier this season. Ball control and time of possession will not be enough for the Read more [...]

Looking At The Steelers Top Offensive Coordinator Candidates To Replace Bruce Arians

By Dave Bryan on Friday, January 20th, 2012 | 4 Comments

The news officially broke this morning that Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians will not be back in 2012 according to a statement by head coach Mike Tomlin. With the offensive coordinator position now open I have put together a list below of the likeliest candidates to be the Steelers next offensive coordinator. Tomlin will be down in Mobile, Alabama next week for the Senior Bowl and there could be a few interviews that take place down there, but that is just speculation. Those interviews could include a few coaches not on my list below as well, as the Senior Bowl always is a Read more [...]

Leadership: The Missing Piece In 2012

By Jeremy Hritz on Thursday, January 12th, 2012 | 7 Comments

By Jeremy Hritz Before the 2011 Steelers season even began, a gaggle of random acts of immaturity unrelated to anything on the playing field raised serious reasons for concern. LaMarr Woodley ran off at the mouth on the NFL Network that Joe Flacco would not win a Super Bowl “in his lifetime;” Rashard Mendenhall foolishly shared an insensitive personal perspective about 9-11 on Twitter; James Harrison bashed his teammates in Men’s Journal, not to mention Roger Goodell, who honestly, probably deserves some of it for his crusade to sissify a man’s game. Throw in the revered veteran Hines Read more [...]

By Dave Bryan on Wednesday, January 11th, 2012 | 1 Comment

The last episode of of Agree To Disagree with Bob Labriola and Mike Pristua is now up on steelers.com as they argue about the playoff loss against the Denver Broncos and try to predict if Joe Flacco will lead the Baltimore Ravens to the Super Bowl. Speaking of the Ravens, several of their players took great joy in the Steelers loss this past Sunday as you would expect. Who the hell is Arthur Jones and why is he talking? Hines Ward gave a very candid interview to Tunch Ilkin and Craig Wolfley yesterday and tells about his plans for the offseason that includes having some bone spurs removed Read more [...]

Steelers Need Bengals Help For First Round Bye – AFC Playoff Picture Week 17 Scenarios

By Dave Bryan on Saturday, December 24th, 2011 | 3 Comments

The Pittsburgh Steelers took care of the St. Louis Rams today at Heinz Field, but only received some possible future help in week 16 from the Indianapolis Colts Thursday night as they knocked off the Houston Texans with a last second touchdown. Heading into today, the Steelers needed to beat the Rams and hope that the Cleveland Browns could some how knock off the Baltimore Ravens to take the lead in the AFC North division. The Ravens held a 20-0 lead over the Browns, but let them back into the game in the 4th quarter. The Browns closed within 6 points with 8:30 left in the game, but they could Read more [...]

49ers No Help To Steelers As They Lose 16-6 To Ravens In Harbaugh Bowl I

By Dave Bryan on Friday, November 25th, 2011 | 5 Comments

The inaugural Harbaugh Bowl is in the books as the San Francisco 49ers lost 16-6 to the Baltimore Ravens in the third and final Thanksgiving game Thursday night in Baltimore. Because of the loss by the 49ers, the Steelers can’t gain any ground in the AFC North Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs, and must win just to stay a game out of first. The Ravens moved to 8-3 on the season with the win and own the head-to-head tiebreakers over the Steelers because of their season sweep. The Ravens tied a franchise record with nine sacks of 49ers quarterback Alex Smith Thursday night and held Read more [...]

Flacco Fined $7500 For Same Type Horse Collar Tackle That Polamalu Was Fined $15,000 For

By Dave Bryan on Friday, November 18th, 2011 | 9 Comments

It was announced earlier today that Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco was fined $7,500 for his horse-collar tackle of Seahawks linebacker David Hawthorne in the third quarter of the Ravens 22-17 loss to Seattle last Sunday. The tackle happened after Flacco threw a pass that ended up being intercepted by Hawthorne. While I am glad to see Flacco was fined, it is curious as to why he was fined half what Steelers safety Troy Polamalu was fined for his horse-collar tackle on Ravens running back Ricky Williams back in week 1. Polamalu was fined $15,000 for his tackle. The minimum for such fine is $15,000 Read more [...]

Week 10 – 7 Things To Look For Against The Bengals & Game Prediction

By Dave Bryan on Saturday, November 12th, 2011 | 1 Comment

The Steelers are still stinging from their Sunday night loss in the finals seconds to the Ravens, but must regroup quickly for another division game on the road against the AFC North leading Cincinnati Bengals. This is a must game if the Steelers still want to have any shot at winning the division as a loss would make them 0-3 in division play. The Bengals are the surprise team in the division and should not be faulted for playing an easy schedule to start the season. As I do each and every week, here are my 7 things to watch for this week against the Bengals as the Steelers look to move to Read more [...]

Steelers Week 9 Coverage Stats Versus Ravens

By Dave Bryan on Tuesday, November 8th, 2011 | 13 Comments

Below are the Steelers coverage stats for the week 9 Sunday night game against the Baltimore Ravens. They are broken down by play and include down and distance, line of scrimmage, direction, yards gained, yards after catch, personnel the offense used, defensive package, number of pass rushers and whether or not the defense blitzed on the play. The thing that is not reflected in the stats, that I will likely start including going forward, is the amount of drops by the wide receivers as Torrey Smith dropped 4 balls and Anquan Boldin dropped 2. Also both William Gay and Ike Taylor each had accepted Read more [...]

Report: James Harrison Likely To Be Fined For Helmet To Helmet Hit On Ray Rice

By Dave Bryan on Tuesday, November 8th, 2011 | 4 Comments

ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported tonight during halftime of the Eagles Bears Monday night football game that Steelers linebacker James Harrison will likely join teammate Ryan Clark and Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis as players that might be fined for hits during the Steelers Ravens Sunday night game. I detailed the hits by both Clark and Lewis last night, but it was not until tonight that I decided to go back and look at the tape again to see the hit that Schefter was referencing in his report. The hit in question happened with 8:36 left in the third quarter after Ravens running back Ray Read more [...]
