By Dave Bryan on Monday, January 2nd, 2012 | 2 Comments

Rashard Mendenhall Out For Season With Torn ACL In Right Knee

By Dave Bryan on Monday, January 2nd, 2012 | 5 Comments

Ed Bouchette reports via Twitter that the right knee injury suffered by Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall yesterday against the Cleveland Browns on a first half run is indeed a torn ACL and he will be lost for the rest of the playoffs. Bouchette reports that the good news is that there is no other damage in the knee and that Mendenhall will have surgery to repair the torn ACL over the next couple of weeks, presumably after the swelling goes down. The injury happened on on the last play of the first quarter as Mendenhall attempted to plant his right leg and cut back inside on Read more [...]

More Steelers Browns Game Observations & Notes

By Dave Bryan on Monday, January 2nd, 2012 | 1 Comment

The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Cleveland Browns Sunday to close out the regular season at 12-4. As I do every week, here are my deeper post game observations after going through the game tape a few more times. The sack by Lawrence Timmons on the Browns opening saw Timmons come on a delayed blitz and he took on fullback Owen Marecic. Marecic did not hold his block long and Timmons spun away back inside for the sack. Jason Worilds should get a little credit on the play for taking right tackle Artis Hicks up the field to open up the lane. Great tackle on Josh Cribbs by Keenan Lewis on the Read more [...]

Mike Tomlin Will Consult Medical Experts About Status Of Ryan Clark Against Broncos

By Dave Bryan on Sunday, January 1st, 2012 | 2 Comments

The Pittsburgh Steelers will face the Denver Broncos next Sunday in Denver in one of the two AFC wild card games next weekend and the big question on everyone’s mind is whether or not starting free safety Ryan Clark will play in the high altitude of Denver. Clark nearly died after a 2007 game in Denver after the high altitude had an adverse affect on his sickle-cell trait and it triggered a blood reaction. Clark ended up having his spleen and gall bladder removed in separate operations as a result of the reaction. Head coach Mike Tomlin did not allow Clark to play in Denver in the 2009 meeting Read more [...]
