Rainey’s speed brings all kind of options for Steelers’ offense
In the second round of the National Football League Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected a guy in Mike Adams who comes with more baggage than a US Airways flight from San Francisco. This was a complete 180 from how the Steelers usually do business in terms of avoiding players with so many red flags. Once …
Spence pick signals need for speed & tackling in ‘pass-happy’ NFL
Let’s be real clear here right up front. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ third round draft pick Sean Spence is not going to jump into the inside linebacker spot recently vacated by the great James Farrior.

As I wrote over the past weekend, the Pittsburgh Steelers drafts are not always the most exciting and that simply comes from being successful. Translation; you pick later in the first round. I will never claim to be Mel Kiper, Jr. although I will play him on this blog. I’m not going to pick our …
