Saw an article on ESPN plus on potential Jonathan Taylor trades and one team on there was the Steelers trading a 4th and Najee for Taylor. Not sure I would give up that high of a pick especially if I’m including Najee but I would do something similar. Let’s face it. Najee is not what we thought...
First off I’m still pumped we finally draft an elite OT. Really have high hopes for the kid.
The draft really couldn’t have finished any better for the Steelers. A ton of directions we could go with the picks. I’m all for trading down but not at the expense of missing out some players. Of...
Need to fill 6 person PPR league in ESPN by 9:30 tomorrow. Anyone interested here’s the link!

Tomlin said the Watt & Johnson injuries are nothing serious. No official report on Kazee but apparently it appeared he was spotted with an air cast. Seemed like maybe a wrist injury. Waiting on official word on him but would be a big loss to the secondary. Personally I was excited to see him play.
I know everyone has talked a lot about possibly trading Rudolph but what if Tribusky was the one to get traded? I know the possibility of Rudolph being traded is more likely but I think we could get more for Tribusky especially from someone like the Giants. It’s obvious Pickett will be the man...
The one thing that killed me throughout the game and honestly this season has been giving up the 1st on 3rd and longs. Not sure if it’s a scheme issue or personal but this needs to be fixed.
No shocker here but Schefter tweeted…
Ben Roethlisberger privately has told former teammates and some within the organization that he expects this to be his final season playing quarterback for the Steelers, league sources told ESPN.
More coming ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown, with a special...
Guess where old Tomlin ranks out of 32 coaches? That’s right. Dead last.

This has to be one of the worst oline we have had in a very long time. I’m not just talking about one position but the whole unit. I think maybe green would be salvageable at guard but I sure hope he isn’t the long term answer at center. Hell I will take a beaten up Decastro at this point. You...
I keep wondering what Tomlin or anyone sees in this line at this point? Green is not the answer at Center and at this point I don’t even know if he would be the answer at guard. I was a big supporter of Moore during training camp and preseason but it’s not translating to regular season. Chucks...
Steelers have placed OL Zach Banner, RB Anthony McFarland Jr. and DE Stephon Tuitt on the Reserve/Injured List.
Also signed OL Rashaad Coward, OL B.J. Finney and CB Arthur Maulet to the 53-man roster.
One battle that isn’t talked about enough in my opinion is Dan Moore and Chucks battling it out for LT. Dan has really impressed this training camp and through the preseason. I really wouldn’t be at all surprised to see him get the start. The only reason is maybe they don’t want two rookie...
Field rates just tweeted out…
“The Steelers converted $7.925M of DL Stephon Tuitt’s 2021 base salary into a signing bonus, creating $6.34M in 2021 cap space.
Even after the trade for Joe Schobert, Pittsburgh has good cap flexibility to operate throughout the season.”
Curious what they plan...
I can’t believe we got this guy in the 6th. Should have gone IMO around the 3-4th range. Going to provide depth at a needed position. Love everything about him. A leader on the field and just a play maker. Has a variety of pass rush moves and IMO just needs to get stronger and develop a little more.
Looks like we have some good options still available. Not sure who will fall in round 2 but would love to see us obviously grab oline and particularly Center. Below are a list of players I’m looking at for each round.
2nd Round
OT - Jenkins, Eichenberg
C - Meinerz, Dickerson, Humphrey
TE -...
Apparently Ian Rapoport tweeted out “OSU QB Justin Fields has confirmed to NFL teams during the pre-draft process that he is managing epilepsy – a neurological disorder that can cause seizures, per me and @TomPelissero. It has not affected football & doctors believe he’ll outgrow it as his other...
It's something we have done in the past but not very much. Personally if their was a draft I would be all for trading down and acquiring more draft picks it would be this one. We have so many needs and and not a lot of cash. Plus we can get some really good value in the 3rd & 4th rounds. I would...
Adam Schefter just tweeted... “ NFL informed teams today the salary cap this season will be a minimum of $180 million.”
I personally think it could come in at $185 million when it’s all said and done.
