With Mike Wallace likely out in Pittsburgh, could he sign with the divison rival Cleveland Browns? The signing would make sense if you think about it. Wallace is a speedster and that's what the Browns like. With sub-par receiver Josh Cribbs saying that he didn't like that the team rebuilt every season through the draft, the Brown might look to add some talent via free agency. With new head coach Rob Chudzinski and offensive coordinator Norv Turner, Wallace would fit in well within the ... Read More
Are Steelers Likely Facing Another March Massacre?
The Steelers are in salary cap troubles once again which means for the second year in a row the team could be saying goodbye to multiple veteran players. Pittsburgh will be forced to let many, if not all, of their unrestricted free agents walk and they will need to a good draft in April to offset their losses. It's time for the Steelers to let some of their young players take over and to do so they will have to cut some of the aging veterans. Here is a breakdown of each position on the roster as ...

The Steelers last three drafts haven’t been great, but they haven’t been terrible either
There has been a lot of talk this off-season about the Steelers last couple of drafts. Many fans are upset with the Steelers last few drafts and believe they need to turn things around in 2013 to get back to the playoffs. The problem with that thinking is that the last three drafts for the Steelers haven’t been all that bad. In fact, the Steelers have found some very good players the last three years. The reason many fans may be looking down on the last few drafts is, most likely, due to the ... Read More
Steelers Wide Receiver Coach Leaves for Duke
The Steelers wide receiver coach, Scottie Montgomery, has left the team to become the offensive coordinator for Duke. Montgomery became the Steelers wide receiver coach in 2010 and was considered to be one of Mike Tomlin's "guys." As was Amos Jones the Steelers formed special teams coordinator who left for the same job in Arizona. The question is whether Tomlin is cleaning house with his coaches or if the Steelers front office told him to get rid of these guys. Either way the Steelers ... Read More
Steelers Off-Season issues being blown out of proportion in some areas
The Steelers will have a difficult off-season, yes. They will have to make some tough decisions and Steeler Nation will have to say goodbye to some players that they aren't yet ready to say goodbye too, but that doesn't mean the Steelers are facing the apocalypse as so many seem to assume. According to Spotrac.com, the Steelers have 51 players currently signed to deals for the 2013 season including those players signed to future/reserves contracts. The total amount owed to those 51 players is ... Read More
Snedden’s take: The “Bus” got robbed
Former Steelers running back and all-time great Jerome Bettis retired following Super Bowl XL in 2006. Five years later, he became eligible for induction to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. We found out yesterday that Bettis was denied entry to footballs most hallowed ground once again this year. That is three years that “The Bus” has been on the ballot, and three years that he has been rejected. There might not be a bigger travesty is sports right now. I have spent the ... Read More
Still no Hall of Fame for “The Bus”
On April 20, 1996 the Pittsburgh Steelers made a trade with the St. Louis Rams for a tailback that what going into his fourth season as a professional. The Steelers gave up a second and fourth round pick in order to receive Jerome Bettis and a third round pick from the Rams. Looking back at it, that trade was a huge win for the Steelers. That trade filled a need for the Steelers at running back since there starter at the time; Bam Morris, was arrested on drug possession and no one knew if ... Read More
The Super Bowl that Could Have Been
If I take my personal allegiance to the Steelers away, there is one play in Super Bowl history that stands above all others for me. It was Super Bowl XXXIV, the Rams and the Titans. Six seconds remained; Tennessee was down 23-16 and had the ball at the Rams 10-yard line. One last chance to punch it in. The late quarterback Steve McNair dropped back in the pocket (maybe the only time he threw from the pocket that game) and suddenly saw a streaking Kevin Dyson at the five-yard line. Dyson ...

Ravens edge out 49ers in a game for the ages
Superbowl XLVII was one for the ages. The second half will not be forgotten for years to come and featured the fantastic play of some old faces and new faces. The opening drive featured a three-and-out from the 49ers, but Baltimore didn't waste any time when they got the ball back. Joe Flacco took seven plays to drive the team down the field before hitting Anquan Boldin for the first touchdown of the game. San Francisco responded with a scoring drive, as they were able to put a field goal up ... Read More
Super Bowl Weekend Mock Draft
Steelers 2013 Mock Draft: Round 1.) Dion Jordan, OLB, Oregon Jordan has the look of one of the next monster pass rushers in the NFL. He is very athletic at 6'6" and around 250 pounds. Jordan also has great quickness off the edge and has been compared to San Francisco 49ers outside linebacker Aldon Smith. Jordan may still be a bit raw and may need time before stepping in as a starter which could drop his value a bit. If he falls into the Steelers laps they will likely take him without much ...
