The last day of training camp 2012 for the Steelers was more than just the final day of workouts sequestered at St. Vincent College, as both Casey Hampton and Rashard Mendenhall came off the PUP list.

Steve McLendon and Alameda Ta’amu have big opportunity at nose tackle
No Casey Hampton, no problem for the Steelers. At least for now that’s been the case so far in training camp and after one preseason game. While the Steelers would love to have the Big Snack healthy and at his normal post anchoring the defensive line, he’s still on the PUP recovering from his ACL …
Steelers preseason: Who and what to watch on defense
I’m one who enjoys watching preseason games just to see the young guys because in many cases that’s the only time you see them all year unless injuries hit the starters.

2012 Pittsburgh Steelers training camp roster throwdowns: defensive line
While many of us out there in the Steeler Nation use the term, ‘Steel Curtain’ to describe our defense, in my opinion there will always be just the one of the 1970′s. Mean Joe Greene, LC Greenwood, Ernie Holmes and Dwight White will forever be linked to that name and rightfully so. Part of …

The 2012 Steelers draft has the potential to go down as one of the most important and best draft classes in the modern era of the team. Two first round caliber offensive lineman in David DeCastro and Mike Adams, an eventual replacement for long time defensive stalwart Casey Hampton, new faces at middle linebacker, and …
Casey Hampton believes he’ll be ready to start the season, and play a few more years
Casey Hampton has been running, although not practicing, at the Steelers mandatory mini camp this week. When you think about a torn ACL that happens late in the previous year, the first thing that comes to mind is that you won’t see that player again until mid season next year. After all, starting the season …
On the Steelers; D-line depth could be impressively solid in 2012
Anytime you enter a season whether it be a high school football season, a professional football season or highly anticipated chess match, there are always ‘ifs.’ The defensive line of the Pittsburgh Steelers entering 2012 is the perfect example of one of these ‘ifs’ I’m talking about. They could prove to be dominant or could …
“Battle of the bulge”: Steelers McLendon vs Ta’amu vs Hampton

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 …
