The offseason is in full swing for the Steelers, especially on offense where new coordinator Todd Haley has been busy implementing his new gameplan. Learning the new scheme has been an ongoing process and will continue in that manner as OTA’s come and go, and training camp gets closer on the horizon. For now the …

‘Slash’ is officially retired; A look back at Kordell Stewart
Joe Gilliam was the first to experience being a ‘black’ quarterback in the city of Pittsburgh and so much so that Sports Illustrated felt obliged to tell us when it put him on the cover in September of 1974 with the headline; “Pittsburgh’s Black Quarterback.” Yesterday in Pittsburgh, another black quarterback returned to formally announce …
Kordell “Slash” Stewart officially retires as a Steeler
In what seems to be a trend this off season, former Steelers QB Kordell “Slash” Stewart came to Pittsburgh on Wednesday to formally announce his retirement from the NFL and end his career as a Pittsburgh Steeler. I say, “what seems to be a trend” because so many big names from the last decade have …
Isaac Redman, effective battering ram in an aerial assault?
What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you see “battering ram” in conjunction with the Pittsburgh Steelers? Jerome Bettis of course, but also the modern day version of The Bus, potentially speaking, in Isaac Redman too. Something interesting to file away in your Steeler brain as the offseason continues; how much does …

Steelers have a real pain in the ‘grass.’
There are many of my Steeler Nation brethren who believe it is long past the time for change. I’m not speaking of coordinators or head coaches or even general managers. I’m speaking of something so holy and so sacred that replacing it almost seems barbaric and sacrificial. I’m talking of course about the grass at …

“Battle of the bulge”: Steelers McLendon vs Ta’amu vs Hampton
As we remember our soldiers this past Memorial Day weekend, I was thinking also about a topic to write about. I tend to do that a lot, multi tasking. While surfing through Google (man Mr. Google is amazing isn’t he?) I came across some information and quotes on Steelers 3rd yr NT Steve McLendon. However …
Haley and Arians comparisons are coming. You shouldn’t be surprised.
One of members on the steeleraddicts.com forums had posted a thread this morning about Todd Haley and why is he seemingly getting so much love for really not having done a whole lot to merit it. In the very first response, much of the discussion centered not on Todd Haley, but on the now-departed Bruce …
Woodley says Steelers should have “easily beat” Broncos
It’s been nearly six months, and yet the Steelers still feel the sting of defeat. Of course, I’m referring to last January, when the Tim Tebow-led Broncos stunned Pittsburgh during the wild card playoffs. Looking back (begrudgingly, I’m sure), it’s a game that has stuck in the craw of several members of the black and …
