By Dave Bryan on Monday, November 21st, 2011 | 3 Comments

This will upset many of you I know, but Doug Segrest of The Birmingham News reports tonight that Steelers offensive coordinator Bruce Arians could be a potential candidate to replace Houston Nutt at Ole Miss.

Could Casey Hampton Miss The Jaguars Game Too?

By Dave Bryan on Tuesday, October 11th, 2011 | 5 Comments

After the game against the Texans, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin did not mention the shoulder injury suffered by nose tackle Casey Hampton during his press conference and also omitted him last Tuesday as well when he met the media. It was not until last Wednesday when Hampton showed up on the first injury report for the Titans game that Hampton had something wrong with him. I wrote it off as just needing a day off, but Hampton went on to miss Thursday and Friday in addition and was subsequently ruled out for the Titans game. Chris Hoke filled in admirably for Hampton against the Titans and Read more [...]

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 [...]

Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor is pressing safety Troy Polamalu hard to come train with them down in Orlando with Tom Shaw at the Wide World of Sports. As I have said earlier though, sources close to Troy say he will remain training in Southern California. We shall see if Ike is able to change his mind.
