    Steelers likely first round picks and surprise players they don’t seem to have any interest in

    If Fuaga slips to 15- 17, Steelers I could easily see a trade up like last year to get him. Water cooler talk (from the combine) indicated there may be a medical flag for JPJ (concussion). But nothing officially has been leaked. If Fuaga and Mims are both gone, look for a trade down by Omar. Of...

    Center draft value

    Just to add clarification, Dirt was drafted as a Guard coming out Kentucky. Steelers drafted Iron Mike’s purported replacement the same year in the 3rd round (Chuck Lanza) out Notre Dame. Terry Long lasted a couple more seasons at Guard, although Dirt played/started several games as a rookie...

    Report: Steelers Set To Meet With Big Name Quarterback Russell Wilson

    Seriously doubt this is an actual story. Russ won’t take a reduced salary or be considered “2nd string”. He has a mantra to overcome since he’s getting drilled from all media sides.

    Schefter: Steelers Are Now Confirmed In Negotiations For Justin Fields

    I’m all for the SN article content, but this smacks of click bait speculation of ANOTHER national writer who has NO inside knowledge of team personnel. The only contact Shefter has are player agents, like for obvious reasons, Fields agent throwing out anything to get teams interested. Schefty...

    Anyone know more details on Okarafor/Tomlin Beef?

    He’s still getting credited with assists 10 years after he retired.

    Steelers Focus On Both Sides Of The Line In First Mark Kaboly's First Mock Draft Of 2024

    They wanted Hargrave back, but PHI gave him such a huge contract on day one of FA, we had no chance to even come close.

    Steelers Focus On Both Sides Of The Line In First Mark Kaboly's First Mock Draft Of 2024

    Definitely the plan Omar and Andy probably has in store. OL/DL in the first couple rounds. Definitely a C by round two if all three C’s do well at the combine. I can see getting another DT/DE at some point with a DB and WR in the middle rounds. And no, I doubt we draft another punter. There are...

    Steelers Focus On Both Sides Of The Line In First Mark Kaboly's First Mock Draft Of 2024

    The cap situation is easily resolved. With the new mechanisms being used by GM’s and Cap Specialists approved by the CBA. Cam will get a restructure with voidable years. It will spread out the remaining salary on his contract. He’s got another year or two left and his production the prior couple...

    NFL AWARDS night ......... good luck TJ winners listed as announced

    It’s worth repeating PFF data are not stats. They can’t be considered statistical numbers because PFF states its data is “proprietary“. This means the data isn’t obtained from documented sources (i.e. League/Team game day score keepers). Their data is based on what those geeks THINK is the...

    NFL’s policy over cold-weather games questioned after fans treated for hypothermia and frostbite at Chiefs-Dolphins game

    Wasn’t that the coldest game recorded at a Steelers home game since Dec 89 against NE? That game in Three Rivers was cold as hell. Wind chill was sub zero.

    Oakorafor------------- muddled handling

    Please, Tim Benz article is your reference? He’s been trying to get rid of Tomlin, longer than anyone on this board. It’s his go to narrative. We don’t even know if Munch WAS offered an Asst HC title, he might have. But other reporters indicated his wife wanted to be close their grand children...

    Oakorafor------------- muddled handling

    Munchak’s contract expired and chose an offer in Denver instead of PIT. Munch actually said enjoyed working with players he had. He took the Denver job because he and his wife wanted to be close to his daughter and grandchild in Colorado. Plain and simple. There was some talk in the Nashville...

    Oakorafor------------- muddled handling

    Taking the C Van Pran as well will fortify the OL for a decade. Both OTs and C will be set, and the OGs are already solid.

    Tomlin says there will be changes to staff. Outside OC as well.

    The Holcomb/Alexander/Roberts was doing a fine job until losing Holcomb and Alexander for the season in consecutive weeks. Roberts a gamer against the run for sure, but he was playing with one arm for several weeks. Those last several weeks coaches only had 4th string and off the FA pile to work...

    Tomlin says there will be changes to staff. Outside OC as well.

    The Union which is predominantly players with less than 5 years experience saw the owners proposals regarding the $$ pie. Player team reps which are usually vested veterans with 8-10 years tried to advise all of these young players not just to look at the dollar signs, because the CBA as it was...

    He looks promising Drink, but is He an established play caller yet?

    Spot on Lebanon. Decrease in OTAs, padded practices, practices in general. Heck camp at Latrobe, according to some of the guys in the 2000s who were there then and nowadays as coach interns or media all say it’s a cake walk, with the exception of Friday Night Lights at the high school. All of...

    Come on Mad, you know that “drive“ after the pick was only Allen’s 50+ yard run. Sure poor tackling on that play, but before then the D was making BUF work hard for gained yards. Had they kept it up BUF may have just got a FG. (Pure speculation of course).
