It’s the position that can make a good defense a great one and the position that can make a good defense look like Swiss cheese. The Pittsburgh Steelers head into 2012 with questions at cornerback and veteran Ike Taylor is a part of those questions in my opinion. As we move from back to front, …

Why young competition will make Steelers’ Ike Taylor better
Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor has been a staple on the defense since 2005 when he started 15-16 regular season games. He was drafted in 2003 but only started 1 game each of his first two years. When Bill Cowher decided to take the young talent out of Lousiana Lafayette and turn him into a …
Steelers offseason: Turning depth from a negative to a positive
This is the time during the offseason, after you’ve just finished your OTA’s and mini camps, that you go back and study your roster, look at film and see just what kind of team you potentially have. With a 90 man roster limit there’s a plethora of bodies to choose from so deciding on a …
Steelers secure Keenan Lewis, Ryan Mundy, Isaac Redman and others as the roster continues to take shape
These last 2 weeks have nothing short of glorious if you’re a Steelers fan.

Arguably 4 of the more important players on …
Keenan Lewis’ situation may not be as cut and dry as other Steelers RFA’s.
The speculation of who was getting tendered is over now as the Steelers have made their decisions with Mike Wallace and the rest of their restricted players. We talked about Mike Wallace, Doug Legursky, Ramon Foster, and Ryan Mundy previously but Keenan Lewis is possibly a different story. Perhaps not so much because of his …
Steelers restricted free agent tender projections
The deadline for the Steelers, and all NFL clubs, to tender their restricted free agents is quickly approaching. They have key RFA’s that they can choose to tender if they want to retain the right of first refusal for them once free agency begins. WR- Mike Wallace, OL – Doug Legursky, OL – Ramon Foster, …
Steelers secondary in good shape for next year.
For once, the Steelers secondary is not a major concern heading into the off season. I say “for once” because in recent years they have struggled either with injuries or sub par play at a particular position. Heading into this coming draft though, the last line of defense for Pittsburgh shouldn’t need much help thanks …
Steelers can afford to let William Gay walk away
Cornerback William Gay is one of the free agents that Kevin Colbert was talking about when he mentioned that the Steelers were not likely to sign any players before the March 13th deadline at 4pm. At this point the Steelers have enough quality cornerbacks on the roster that they can afford to let him leave …
