Don’t Count Out Koogs

By Jeremy Hritz on Thursday, February 2nd, 2012 | 7 Comments

By Jeremy Hritz Jim Irsay, who is becoming more eccentric with each passing day, and the Indianapolis Colts wasted no time in hiring a replacement head coach for Jim Caldwell. Nor did they hesitate in hiring a new offensive coordinator. Within eight days, Chuck Pagano, one-time defensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens, was hired to replace Caldwell, with the embattled and “retired” Bruce Arians following a few days later. Some Steelers’ fans may be looking at the Colts with envy, not because the history and tradition of the Colts’ franchise, but because of the swiftness that Read more [...]

Marcus Gilbert Says Strong Possibility He Will Be Moved To Left Tackle In 2012

By Dave Bryan on Thursday, January 19th, 2012 | 1 Comment

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie tackle Marcus Gilbert said tonight on a live Spreecast video chat that he was told by the coaching staff during his exit meetings that that there is a “strong possibility” that he will be flipped over to left tackle next season. Gilbert started 14 games at right tackle for the Steelers in 2011. This news is not very surprising considering that Willie Colon is expected to return from his triceps injury suffered week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens to be the Steelers starting right tackle. Colon signed a 5-year, $29 million dollar contract late last July and reportedly Read more [...]
