The Pittsburgh Steelers were back on the practice field on Thursday as they continue to prepare the Cleveland Browns this Sunday on the road in Cleveland. The Steelers look to move to 12-4 on the season with a win in their final 2011 regular season game. The Thursday injury report is out now and it shows that guard Doug Legursky (shioulder), running back Mewelde Moore (knee) and safety Troy Polamalu (knee) all did not practice again today. Legursky and Moore were practically ruled out on Tuesday by head coach Mike Tomlin. The status of Polamalu is unknown right now and Friday will be a key day Read more [...]

The NFL & Their Silly Little Double Standards

I am already over the one game suspension that the league handed down today to Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison for his helmet-to-helmet hit Thursday night on Cleveland Browns quarterback Colt McCoy. It is what it is and it is time to move on from it. Right now I am most concerned about the ankle injury suffered by Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in the game against Browns and the effects of it moving forward. I am also more concerned about the silly irony of the NFL moving forward in regard to injuries. Believe it or not, I can tie the Harrison hit on McCoy, the injury Read more [...]

Scott Brown is reporting via Twitter that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was not at practice today for the Steelers as they started their preparations for their Monday night game against the San Francisco 49ers. Roethlisberger is still in a walking boot, according to Brown, but was at the practice facility today. His teammates are saying that they expect he will play Monday night. Roethlisberger suffered a high left ankle sprain in the second quarter of the Steelers Thursday night win over the Cleveland Browns after being sacked out of the pocket by Browns defensive lineman Read more [...]

Ben Roethlisberger & Maurkice Pouncey MRI Results Described As Not Good

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and center Maurkice Pouncey both had their MRI test done Friday on their injured ankles and the results on both were not deemed to be Grade 3 sprains, but high ankle sprains instead according to Gerry Dulac. Dulac says the injuries are “not good” according to his source. Both players are currently in walking boots and will likely wear them way into early next week. Roethlisberger went down in the second quarter of the Thursday night win against the Cleveland Browns after being sacked by the Browns defensive lineman Scott Paxson. Roethlisberger Read more [...]

Ben Roethlisberger, The Black And Gold Cowboy

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin had a great line last week when asked about Cleveland Browns wide receiver/return man Josh Cribbs when he said, “We’ve been dead Indians in his cowboy movie enough.” While this post has nothing to do with Cribbs, that quote immediately circled back through my head upon seeing Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger limp back out on the field to start the second half. It looked like something out of an old western movie, like a cowboy that had been shot in the leg, or ankle in this case, and continued to walk towards the next fight. We all can admit Read more [...]

Ben Roethlisberger Injures Ankle In First Half Versus Browns, X-rays Reportedly Negative

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger left the game tonight in the second quarter against Cleveland Browns with ankle injury following a sack. Roethlisberger’s left ankle appeared to get pinned underneath after getting hit by Brian Schaefering and Scott Paxson of the Browns. Roethlisberger had to be helped off the field and went immediately to the Steelers locker room for examination and X-rays. The X-rays are being reported as negative. Backup quarterback Charlie Batch replaced Roethlisberger at quarterback and the Steelers do not have a 3rd quarterback dressed tonight as Dennis Read more [...]

Steelers Need Not Rush Back Starks Or Hampton As Options Are Plenty

Yesterday was an incredible win by the Steelers and it might end up being one of the most significant wins of the season when we get to December. Time will of course tell, but the Falcons were no push over on both sides of the ball and with starting Ben Roethlisberger out the first four games, the Steelers need to go only .500 or better to be in good shape upon his return. The Sunday win is the first of two needed wins in the four game stretch, but was also a costly one as starting left tackle Max Starks went down with a serious high ankle sprain and nose tackle Casey Hampton injured his hamstring Read more [...]

10 Steelers Players With Turk Appointments & 17 Bubble Boys

The Steelers trimmed down to 75 players on Tuesday morning and now will need to cut 21 more by September 4th. Why 21 and not 22 you ask? This is because quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will be moved to the reserve/suspended list, so technically that will not be a cut. I have listed 10 players that will likely be seeing the Turk soon and 16 players who could be considered on the bubble right now in my opinion. None of these are locked in stone mind you and this list is for entertainment purposes only, so no one get your feelings hurt until the cuts are made as ANYTHING can happen in these final days Read more [...]

Some Likely Post Draft Cuts

Following the upcoming NFL draft the Steelers will begin the process of signing the draft picks. As those draft picks sign, the likelihood of their salary counting against the top 51 salaried players begins. At the current time, the Steelers are right up against the cap limit of $127,000,00.00, thus some players will need to be released that are currently in the top 51 salaries. Below are a few players I think will be released sometime in May. LS Greg Warren – This grizzly veteran long snapper will save the Steelers around $650,000 in cap money and assuming Jared Retkofsky is fully recovered Read more [...]
