Running back can't handle a running test? Living contradiction.

Tomlin said Emmanuel Sanders had some discomfort in his foot so they rested him today.

After a broken foot and a couple surgeries, I'm not surprised that he has some discomfort. Hopefully it is just some tightness that he is working out of it.

Exact reason they are TRYING to get Plax in here especially since our FIVE year dissapointment won't ever come through, Cut his *** already if he gets better somewhere else who cares Plax is knocking on the door and is proven.

I forget the person who posted camp pictures last year and I noted our rookie Dwyer was wearing a spare tire around his waste.

You're a kid, have a legit shot at a dream, and you arrive over weight and out of shape!

Is it the meds?

Plax situation is definitely becoming an interesting one. I'm guessing Sanders' foot problem just elevated Plax' asking price though.

The big news of the day was free agent wide receiver Plaxico Burress visiting the team, as the Steelers looked at him and veteran tight end Daniel Graham. Burress spent time with coaches and management, but also visiting with some of his former teammates.

There were some other familiar faces making their first appearance at camp, including cornerback Ike Taylor

who signed a new deal. Taylor wasn’t permitted to report to camp until Friday night, and got in to meet up with his teammates on Saturday morning. Taylor was welcomed by veterans Hines Ward

, Casey Hampton

and James Farrior

as soon as he arrived.

While the crowd might have been a little light on Friday, Saturday was a huge turnout with fans arriving early and packing the area around the practice field. The rain from the last few days forced practice to be moved to the far field, but nobody seemed to mind as the fans cheered some nice catches during practice.

Wide receiver Hines Ward is on the PUP list and isn’t able to practice, but spent a few minutes on the sidelines today chatting with Joe Greene about some things – including sharing some stories about his time on “Dancing with the Stars.” Despite the fun stories, don’t expect Greene on the show any time soon.

Coach Mike Tomlin did his normal post-practice interview, talking briefly about Burress’ visit as well as Daniel Graham being there visiting the team.

Tomlin was asked if he was looking forward to practice on Sunday, the first one the team will hold in pads. All Tomlin had to do was smile to let you know he couldn’t wait.

Ya they were my pics. I remember exactly which one too. Dwyer was wiping sweat from his face or something with his shirt so you could see his stomach. I remember you making the comment as well.
