I told everyone…some people think Jones will be still be annointed because of draft status but Moore will likely be starting week one barring injury…

Steelers’ Dan Moore has been 'unbelievable teammate,' but won’t give up job without fight

Some on the outside predicted Broderick Jones would be anointed a starting job immediately. Others from afar have thought he would be a first-teamer by the start of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ minicamp. Most assumed Jones taking Dan Moore Jr.’s job at left tackle is inevitable. But now that minicamp is

Under Mike Tomlin, Patrick Peterson May Hold Off On Retiring

Though CB Patrick Peterson seems in the twilight of his career, if his body feels good and he can still produce, there’s no urge to rush into retirement. And under Mike Tomlin, Peterson might try to hang in the league as long as possible. Speaking with Jim Rome on The Jim Show Thursday, Peterson...

This trade just keeps looking better and better — can’t believe Khan pulled it off.

Claypool wants to do the TikToks, get the followers, do the dances, do the celebrations, but doesn't want to do a single thing to be a good teammate and consistent football player. His physical attributes are undeniable but his talent is average at best. He's 6'4 and plays like he's 6'0.

The big difference between JuJu and Claypool to me always was when the lights turned on, you're going to get JuJu's best. He's going to be prepared, he's going to play tough, and he's a good teammate. We f***in fleeced the Bears. Now we just have to hope Porter develops.

Even if Porter is a complete bust, it was a great trade.

Yeah, JPJ becoming a bust would just be a bad evaluation on the Steelers end. It doesn't change the fact that the value of that pick and the kind of player you could have gotten with it was far greater than Claypool's real value.

Troy talked about this team getting back to high character "steelers guys".. This is one of the biggest reasons I'm hyped about the upcoming season.

There is a lot being talked about that I like right now. The team getting back to running the football. The seem to really be into the idea of a fullback from some of the things I'm reading.

I guess the QB helmet tech is going to be across the league...

Kenny Pickett Embracing New Tech, Defensive Teammates in Elevating Film Study

PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett is using a new tool — and a new film-watching partner — to make the most out of his practice time during the team’s OTAs and minicamp this spring. Pickett has been wearing a camera on his helmet during practices this spring, giving him...

Big ol' article in The Athletic today with Canada saying his marching orders from above are to run the ball a ton.

Their draft and FA signings align with that statement.

At least they now have the horses to pull it off

Come again? You're the offensive coordinator!

Even during the Killer B's, starting slow was a common complaint. Which was then better understood after a few comments from Tomlin about probing and "easing in" (which confirmed that SB comment wasn't just typical coach throwaway BS).

Tomlin's DNA isn't to come out and hit your opponent in the mouth. It's to feel them out, maybe let them punch themselves out, and try to outlast them in the later rounds.

People just didn't see the similarities from Haley to Fitchner to Canada and instead blamed it on an aging Ben. And they weren't listening to Tomlin telling us exactly who he is all those years.

I’m biased because I think very little of him but Canada comes off like he has such a loser attitude in every interview. Maybe he doesn’t speak naturally but always seems like he’s giving some semi-sarcastic reply or making an excuse, even if some excuses are legit.

I don't blame him given how things are going here but unless he's very different with the players, I doubt he's helping himself.

RIP Clark Haggans

Sad to hear. He was that other pass rusher for a while, next to a prime Joey Porter. He was a solid role player during his time here.


He also drew the controversial holding call in Super Bowl XL against Seattle that I felt swung the momentum of the game back in the Steelers favor. Without that call, it would have been 1st and goal from the 1-yard line for Seattle, with the Steelers clinging to a 14-10 lead and around 12 minutes left in the 4th quarter. It was certainly a big play and call. It made it 1st and 20 and Casey Hampton got a sack on the next play to make it 2nd and 25. Seattle did a 7-yard run to make it 3rd and 18, and that's when Hasselbeck, instead of checking it down on 3rd and 18 and taking the field goal to cut the Steelers lead to 14-13, instead forced an awful throw that was picked off by Ike Taylor. We Steelers fans get on Ike for his all-time bad hands, but he picked a good time to hang onto one. The Steelers got the ball and hit the trick passing play from Randle El to Hines Ward just a few plays after the pick, and that was pretty much the dagger. The first Steelers Super Bowl win of my lifetime. A part of that is now gone with Haggans passing. I believe he's the first player from that Super Bowl XL team to pass away. RIP.

Sad news — former Steelers linebacker Clark Haggans died Tuesday at 46.

 

[Buddy Bizarre]

That's way too young...wonder what happened

 

[JTG]

Haggans was a pretty unsung guy on those teams. He and Larry Foote were two consistent over performers. Way too young to pass away.

 

[Son Goku]

That's way too young...wonder what happened

I've been curious myself that's a very young age to die
