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 …

Under the radar now, Steelers’ D needs better season in 2012
You can hardly be blamed if you have forgotten this week that there are two sides to the game of football. On one side of course is the offense, which has been nothing short of a paparazzi-trailed festival with new coordinator Todd Haley in Pittsburgh now. And then…. There is the defense. Who would have …
Steelers post draft roster breakdown: Defensive Line
Next up in our post draft position analysis for the Steelers is the defensive line. A group that didn’t see much change via the draft in terms of numbers of players but this offseason has been anything but quiet for them. The DL is long known as the most important part of the Steelers 34 …
Steelers’ Ta’amu says his weight issues are behind him
We all remember Casey Hampton eating his way out of the Steelers lineup in training camp a few years ago. Mike Tomlin put him on the PUP list and for those that visited training camp,it was a regular site to see him working off to the side with one of the team trainers, or riding …

Ta’amu will play a big part in the future of the defensive line
The Steelers answered a lot of questions by the time the NFL was over this past weekend. They filled serious holes on the offensive line, got some depth at linebacker and running back, and also found themselves the next Casey Hampton. That’s some big shoes to fill no matter who you are, and not a …
Steelers 2012 draft is like Christmas coming early
I have to admit that watching Stanford offensive lineman David DeCastro fall during the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft reminded me of my favorite Christmas movie, ‘A Christmas Story.’ Much like young Ralphie, I really never dreamed that what I actually wanted would truly come my way but as in the case of …
Steelers 4th Round Draft Pick – Alameda Ta’amu, DT, Washington
The Steelers traded up in the 4th round in a great move to pick up a much needed NT and a great pick on day 3 of the draft, Alameda Ta’amu. A huge space eating NT at 6’3″ 348 lbs, he can be the next Casey Hampton 34 type NT. His primary job is going …
Pegging the Steelers’ first round selection; Options are few
As I wrote over the past weekend, the Pittsburgh Steelers drafts are not always the most exciting and that simply comes from being successful. Translation; you pick later in the first round. I will never claim to be Mel Kiper, Jr. although I will play him on this blog. I’m not going to pick our …
Potential 2nd round draft steals for the Steelers
The 2nd round hasn’t exactly been a money pick for the Steelers in recent history. Marcus Gilbert was Pittsburgh’s 2nd round choice in 2011 and he’s certainly earned his money and has a bright future. In 2010 they chose LB Jason Worilds who did see significant playing time with the injuries to James Harrison and …
