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 …

Don’t dismiss the ‘Steeler-Way’ when it comes to free agency
I sometimes have to stop myself from being too critical of younger Steelers’ fans these days. After all, they mean well and are easily affected by all the news and social media that’s out there. They see what other teams do in the off-season and they start screaming from the rooftops about why we don’t …
David Johnson, Trai Essex to be Steelers in 2012
Steelers’ veteran offensive lineman Trai Essex announced today via his Twitter account that he will be back with the Steelers for this upcoming season. Essex played in all 16 games last season and is exactly the type of versatile offensive lineman coveted by offensive line coach Sean Kugler. Essex can play all five positions along …

Could the Steelers draft a Tight End in 2012?
There was once a time in the National Football League where the position of ‘tight end’ was either the butt of jokes (see? Like that one) or just simply another tackle on the end of the line. Tight ends were typically guys who were too slow to be wide receivers and too small to be …

Haley will have no allegiance to current Steelers players
One of the big advantages of bringing in someone from the outside to run the Steelers offense is that they have no allegiance to any of the current players on the roster. Haley can look objectively at each position and decide who will best fit the philosophy he has for the team. He will be …
Tweak, not overhaul Roethlisberger & the Steelers offense
When you think of Ben Roethlisberger what’s the first thing that comes to mind? The Steelers starting Quarterback of course, but a close second is the inevitable “he holds onto the ball”. The latter is one of the things that Art Rooney II would probably like to change when he made the comments a couple …
