Markus Wheaton is expected to be behind the learning curve with the Steelers
According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Steelers rookie wide receiver Markus Wheaton is expected to fall behind in learning Pittsburgh’s offense since he’ll have to miss this week’s OTA’s.
Adjust to life without Mike Wallace. Wallace is gone and while Emmanuel Sanders is projected to take over his spot at split end at least for one year, third-round pick Markus Wheaton...
Will Larry Foote's anger add fuel or fizzle to the Pittsburgh Steelers?
Larry Foote’s ire is up. He said as much himself, and he told Pittsburgh’s 93.7 The Fan back in March he doesn’t buy into the locker room turmoil stating, ”That was never an issue. I think that was overblown by the media” then concluding, ”We’ve always been a tight-knit family, and we’re going to remain that way.”
I wouldn’t expect Foote to go to...
Charlie Batch not ready to retire just yet
Free agency quarterback Charlie Batch told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that he’s not ready to retire just yet.
“I’m not closing the door,” the former Steel Valley High star said. “I’m open to whatever is out there for me.”
Batch says he wouldn’t working in an NFL front office.
“I’d definitely be open to (Steelers GM) Kevin Colbert teaching me his job,” Batch...
Photo: Worst Steelers tattoo of all-time?
Tattoos are often hit or miss. Some turn out great, while others turn out, well, like the one you see above.Seen here is arguably the worst Pittsburgh Steelers tattoo of all-time. It could be the worst of all-time because the circular outline is noticeably imperfect, or it could be because the fan initially forgot how to spell Steelers, only to squeeze in an extra "e" after...
Recent Pittsburgh Steelers History Says Reggie Dunn Has a Shot at Making the Roster
So far the most talked about player heading into off-season workouts and training camp for the Pittsburgh Steelers is not a second or third year player, or a draft pick, but an undrafted rookie free agent. Reggie Dunn played three years for the Utah Utes and became one of the best return men in the country. He was so well known for his return skills that teams kicked away from him...
Source: Steelers S Troy Polamalu Will Again Attend First OTA Session Next Week
Every year, when the first OTA session of the off-season is about to begin, fans always wonder if Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu will be in attendance or if he will choose instead to stay back in California and train on his own.
According to a source, Polamalu will again be in Pittsburgh next week for the first organized team activity that begins on Tuesday, just as...
Training Camp Battle: Adrian Robinson Vs. Chris Carter
The Pittsburgh Steelers are set at the starting outside linebacker positions with LaMarr Woodley and Jason Worilds. Add the fact that the team just drafted Jarvis Jones in the first round as an instant pass rusher and eventual starter and that really only leaves one roster spot left at the position. The Steelers did keep five outside linebackers on the roster last season in Woodley...
Steelers LB Chris Carter Enters Third Season Surrounded By Question Marks
For the first three games of the 2012 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers were forced to start linebacker Chris Carter on the right side due to both James Harrison and Jason Worilds not being fully healthy. It was a golden opportunity for the 2011 fifth-round draft pick out of Fresno State, but unfortunately not one that he took good advantage of.
Carter, who received quite a bit...
Plaxico Burress May Struggle to Earn a Roster Spot with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2013
Last year the Pittsburgh Steelers chose to only carry four wide receivers on their 53-man roster to start the season. More receivers came in later on due to injuries, but Todd Haley’s offense uses two-tight end sets and pass-catching running backs, which makes four to five receivers plenty. With some younger and less experienced receivers expected to play a role for the Steelers...
Larry Foote: Steelers ‘pissed off’ they didn’t make playoffs
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Larry Foote said he’s “pissed off” about not making the playoffs last season and for having to watch the Baltimore Ravens, the Steelers biggest rival, win the Super Bowl. “We’re pissed off
Lerry Foote says the Steelers are “pissed” they missed the playoffs in 2012
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Larry Foote toldGoBlueWolverine.com they’re very upset about missing the playoffs last season.
“We’re pissed off we didn’t make the playoffs. On top of that, our rival won the Super Bowl. I know guys are taking it personally. It’s just a whole different mindset to the off-season. I know guys are ready to get back where we need to be,”...
Steelers RB Baron Batch Must Prove He’s More Than Just A Special Teams Player This Offseason
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Baron Batch is entering his third year in the league and with no guarantees that he will make the 53 man roster out of training camp later on this summer, he will have to prove that he can be more than just a special teams player.
Batch, the Steelers seventh-round draft pick in 2011, was forced to sit out his rookie year after suffering a torn ACL...
Larry Foote Upset About Pittsburgh Steelers 2012 Season and James Harrison’s Choice to Join the Cincinnati Bengals
Pittsburgh Steelers inside linebacker Larry Foote is making his feelings well known. First, he’s not too happy about the Steelers disappointing 8-8 season in 2012. It’s unlikely that anyone would/could be happy about a season that ended as poorly as the Steelers season did last year, but as one of the leaders on the defense Foote will have to lead the team to a turnaround in...
Motivation for Ben Just Keeps Mounting
He’s hurt all the time. He hasn’t had a fourth quarter comeback in forever. It was his fault Mike Wallace left because he couldn’t throw it deep enough for him. He makes the wrong audibles. He was too ‘chummy’ with Bruce Arians and he is clearly the reason the team lost Super Bowl XLV and went 8-8 last year.
Ben Roethlisberger is a lot of things, but he isn’t Atlas. He...
Top 5 Multiple-Pick Rounds in Pittsburgh Steelers Drafts Since 2000 (Part 1 of 2)
If the 2013 Pittsburgh Steelers draft was made into a movie, the dramatic climax would come in the fourth round.
The Steelers traded next year’s third-round pick for the Browns’ fourth-round pick, No. 111, to draft flashy safety Shamarko Thomas. Then, four picks later, the Steelers dropped some jaws by drafting Landry Jones.
Jones is the first quarterback the Steelers have drafted...
