We’ll see how this all plays out in training camp and into the season…but one thing is for sure: The above scenario that seemed all too real each week last season has been addressed with the signing of Justin Hartwig. I definitely prefer this signing to last years disasterous signing of Mahan for the same position. It also doesn’t hurt that Mahan can now provde depth/insurance and return to a more natural position for him.
More happy Steelers news: The restriction has been lifted from 2 other linemen, Kemoeatu and Essex. These moves hopefully won’t keep us from picking the OLman that we need to draft but do provide us with much needed depth and a little breathing room should we have another quality player from another position fall into our laps at #23. All of a sudden I don’t feel the desperation that I sensed prior to today.
And for NFL.com’s video review of what we need to do in the draft is up…go check it out.

Just checking in to say hey. Steelers fan or not, I always enjoy your stuff. Saw the letter in the CHFF mailbag, and you’re right mostly. The 06 Steelers run was more impressive start to finish. The Giants run did involve a win in zero degrees at Green Bay and the Pats, so it’s an argument, but it started by beating a team with a worse record, so to me that dimishes it.

Thanks…appreciate the kind words. And I like anyone that agrees with me….even if just mostly.

Another classy steeler player right here. Personally, there should be zero tolerance for this kind of behavior.

pure class…thanks for pointing out our faults. I don’t excuse their behavior, but I wonder what kind of joy it brings you, a Browns fan, to hop on here and point out each offense. Reeks of desperation to bring down a team you can’t seem to catch on the field.

We got Jamal Lewis a former drug dealer, Ray Lewis on the Ravens should be in jail for Murder. Sure, I like antagionizing you guys, but don’t think I won’t admit that every team has its thugs. Eric Steinbach, had a DUI for Boating drunk on the River.
