Thursday was the ninth day of training camp for the Pittsburgh Steelers and that means we are now one week away from the first preseason game that will take place next Thursday night in Philadelphia against the Philadelphia Eagles.

August 03, 2012
I have had several emails as of late asking about the 2013 salary cap situation for the Pittsburgh Steelers and I now have time to knock out a post about it.
Several are worried about all of the restructures over the last few seasons and what it has done to 2013. The other worry is that the salary cap will remain flat in 2013, which it likely will.
Let us first start off by...

So one of the big stories in camp, as if there weren’t enough already, is the return of Willie Colon and of course his move to guard from tackle. If you’ve been following any of the chatter coming out of camp so far one of the things you’ve noticed is all the scrapping going on.

Steelers offensive line embraces 'nastiness'
Ramon Foster gives a wide smile, looks to the ground sheepishly and laughs quietly.
Like most of the men he lines up next to on the Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line, Foster is affable, fun-loving and often flashes that smile - off the field, anyway.
In the trenches? A different story.
Much different.
What induced Foster's chuckle on a muggy late morning earlier this week...

It’s a pretty simple concept; the Steelers ask Mike Wallace to sign his tender, come to camp and negotiate on good faith or they would cease negotiations. This is something the Steelers should be considered good for as they have no history of screwing over a player this way before. Of course, Mike Wallace held [...]

Whenever a club other than the Pittsburgh Steelers or Baltimore Ravens wins the AFC North Division, it’s considered an upset. And that would be the case again in 2012 as the Steelers and Ravens are clear-cut favorites to win arguably the NFL’s most physical division.
