I hope you didn’t come to this article looking for an update on Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall.  It’s a given at this point that Mendenhall is going to miss the first six weeks of the season on the PUP(and likely more than that), but this is about a rumor that the current Steelers [...]

I’m just as sick and tired of sitting around and waiting for Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace to return to the team as much as everyone else is. The latest word through the grapevine is that Wallace will in fact report to the team before the regular season opener against the Denver Broncos. However, [...]

Did you know that if you check the rosters of all the team in the NFL, nearly 20 percent of the players went undrafted? I am not saying that they are starters, and I’ve broken it down statistically that your team’s best players on average are first round picks. This doesn’t change the fact that [...]

The Pittsburgh Steelers could use some bug repellent because since the wildcard loss to the Denver Broncos last season, the injury bug has bitten quite a few players. Nose tackle Casey Hampton, running back Rashard Mendenhall, and offensive tackle Max Starks were the first victims of the series of injuries, all tearing their anterior cruciate ligaments. [...]

Since the start of the preseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been uncertain of their plans on the offensive line.

The grind of an NFL training camp can take its toll on a player, and the competition between teammates day in and day out can get redundant. As a result, the occasional fight may occur. On Sunday, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown and cornerback Ike Taylor encountered in such a scuffle, but this wasn’t [...]

I hate to say I told ya so, but I told ya so.  Let’s talk a little about a player I have been touting since high school and one of the newest members of the Pittsburgh Steelers, running back/wide receiver Chris Rainey.  He’s the Swiss Army knife of football players and how he got to [...]

Correction ladies and gentlemen. I previously predicted that after the injury to the right knee of rookie left tackle Mike Adams in the 2012 preseason opener for the Pittsburgh Steelers, that eighth-year veteran Trai Essex would start at left tackle for the next game. It has now been said that Pittsburgh will move right tackle Marcus [...]

First off, apologies I didn’t get this up sooner.  Having scouted college players for the past 15 years, I watch football with a pretty critical eye.  I’ve also gotten to a point that because I watch and re-watch so many games, I rarely if ever watch a game live.  This was the case with the [...]
