Addressing the “Needs”

A lot has been made about the Steelers obvious choice to not take specific positions of (apparent) need. From our outside perspecive it seems so obvious that we NEED a LT or a RG. It seems obvious that we need depth at the DL position (ok, that really is obvious). But, I’m not jumping off [...]

Diggin’ for Gold

The Steelers agreed to a contract with a man called “Booger”. It’s late and not much time to “dig” for more info, but seeing how he failed the Colts physical and subsequently was cut, I’m a little nervous. At least his primary role will be that of a back up.
From the Post-Gazette: Anthony “Booger” McFarland, [...]

Front and Center

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’m not going [...]

Taking the Browns to the Super Bowl…

Bring it when it counts
…my favorite euphemism for, well, think about it. 
So the Browns…I’m not impressed. I’m not drinking the Brown kool-aid. Come to think of it, if you’re drinking anything Brown you better be careful. I planned on making a lot of comments about the Cleveland Browns and their early start on the NFL [...]

Who Dey? Me Well Dey.

The pieces are beginning to fall into place. Without a huge excess of cap space this offseason the Steelers had to prioritize. Lock up Ben so that he can’t even begin to get emotionally hurt or start thinking about a future away from the 3 rivers and then, fill in the gaps.
There are several important needs that [...]
