‘Legendary’ Might Be a Stretch for Steelers Defense in 2012
This week in a very nicely written column by Alan Robinson of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Pittsburgh Steelers’ safety Ryan Clark said the defense was “striving to be legendary.” I think I speak for all of the Steelers Nation when I say “legendary would be great.” Unfortunately, I don’t think this a defense that is in …
Game Recap: After rough start Steelers roll past Bills 38-7, DeCastro knee injury
If you were someone who watched the first quarter of the Steelers 3rd preseason game against the Bills and then walked away in disgust then you’re probably a tad disappointed to say the least.

Battle of the Cornerbacks: Steelers secondary has bright future
The Steelers defense last year was ranked #1 overall in the league, and #1 in pass defense. Against the pass they allowed a league low 171 yds per game.

Steelers preseason: Who and what to watch on defense

Steelers’ training camp week one; Reading the tea leaves
One of my favorite expressions and an easily over-used cliche of mine is ‘reading the tea leaves.’ I really believe in the days of 24/7 media and sports hype, people often say or do things that are not quite on point so we are left to decipher exactly what they are getting at. Thus, we …
2012 Steelers training camp, July 29, recap and pics – David DeCastro, Keenan Lewis minor injuries
No rain was forecasted for the first time in days at St. Vincent College as the day was again filled with some scuffles between players. The coaches are quick to break it up but so far this camp is very physical and tempers flare quickly. Today there was an emphasis on the passing drills to …

Don’t blame Troy Polamalu for his concussion comments
I can’t say I disagree with Troy on this one. Recent comments from Pro Football Talk reference Polamalu and statements he made about how he’s stretched the truth so to speak about his ability to play when he gets his bell rung. If you talked to any NFL player worth his weight on his team …
