At 1-2, Steelers should leave their talking for the field on Sunday

When you’re 1-2 and coming off a loss to a team you have no business losing too, now is hardly the time to be stirring the pot with pointless chatter if you’re the Pittsburgh Steelers. After all, who does these guys think they are, Anthony Smith? Whether or not Steve McLendon, Antonio Brown, and Isaac …

Steelers looking for break out ground attack vs Eagles?

Steelers RB Rashard Mendenhall

This Sunday at Heinz Field would be as good a time as any to have a breakout game in the rushing department if you’re the Pittsburgh Steelers. Heck, any week is a good time to have a good performance on the ground if you want to live by what the mantra of old in Pittsburgh; …

Onward Steelers; Attacking the Eagles’ Nine-Wide Defense

The Philadelphia Eagles currently have the 4th best defense in the National Football League and will bring their athleticism and fire to Heinz Field Sunday afternoon to take on the Steelers. As we have seen with few exceptions so far in the 2012 season, there really isn’t a truly dominant defense to be found. The …

How much will Rashard Mendenhall really help the Steelers rushing attack?

The Steelers running game is tied for last in the league through the first 3 weeks of the season (3 way tie with the Raiders and Titans). Pittsburgh is averaging just 2.6 yds per rush and has a combined pitiful 195 yds total rushing. If that doesn’t make you cringe as a Steeler fan, I …

Four Things We Know About The Steelers After Three Weeks

It might be a bit of a rush job to judge a team after just three weeks of action, but in a 16 game season, it’s somewhat justifiable. The Steelers stand 1-2 on the season, losing a tough one on the road to the Broncos, handling the Jets rather easily at home and then dropping …

Onward Steelers; It’s Time to Accept This is a Passing Offense

If you haven’t come to the realization that the Pittsburgh Steelers are a pass-first team then perhaps you’ve been watching re-runs of the Seventies’ Steelers. Art Rooney II can say Ben Roethlisberger needs to ‘tweak his game’ all he wants to but I didn’t see anything that needed tweaking yesterday in the 34-31 loss to …

Roethlisberger a master on 3rd downs, but how long can it last?

If there’s one thing that an offense hates, other than turnovers, it’s 3rd and long. You make yourself much more predictable to the defense and let’s face it, most teams don’t have many 3rd and 20 plays in their offensive game plan. The Steelers have been making a living out of converting large down and …

Onward Steelers; Three Keys to Victory in Oakland

Each week I try to lay out three important keys to a Steelers’ win whether here at steeleraddicts.com, or on the BlitzburghRadio podcast or on the radio with Trib-Live. In actuality, I could probably pick seven or eight things each week, but for the sake of time and my own sanity I go with three. …

Mike Tomlin needs to continue to protect injured Steelers from themselves

Troy Polamalu listed as "day to day" for week 3

Mike Tomlin had his weekly press conference on Tuesday and of course the subject of injuries is always at or near the top of the list. This week, a hot topic was the status of James Harrison and Troy Polamalu for this Sunday’s game in Oakland. According to Tomlin, they will be listed as day …
