PLAYERS: Larry Foote
TEAMS: Pittsburgh Steelers

According to Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette the Steelers and free agent linebacker Larry Foote have began talking a contract. Foote started next to Lawrence Timmons at middle linebacker in 2012 and played well despite not being a starter since 2009 when he was a member of the Detroit Lions. “Yeah,’’ Foote said on the 93.7 FM Morning Show in Pittsburgh today, “[the Steelers] and my agent have been talking back and forth. I guess it’s a money thing right now.’’ Foote said publicly that he was willing to return to the Steelers at a home town discount. Replacing Foote was one of the keys for the Steelers this off-season. However, with their cap issues the options were to either draft a linebacker early, start Stevenson Sylvester or Sean Spence or to re-sign Foote. The positives of them talking with Foote are that one that position will have some stability. It also could mean the Steelers think they have their next starting middle linebacker on the roster and want to have in...

Health Updates On Steelers LB Sean Spence Continue To Be Doom And Gloom

Via Steelers Depot  |  February 20, 2013
I recently wrote about how the health of Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Sean Spence holds the key to what might happen this offseason at the inside linebacker position. After tearing up his knee last preseason there really hasn't been anything concrete from the Steelers organization as to how his rehab is going and whether or not he will be ready for action by the time training...

Report: Steelers Only Offered Mike Wallace $7 Million A Season Last Year

Via Steelers Depot  |  February 20, 2013
The free agency signing period is now less than three weeks away and that means Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace is very close to finding out which team, or teams, will be actively pursuing his future services. Peter King of Sports Illustrated said in his most recent Monday Morning Quarterback article that Wallace is facing an intriguing free-agency period because...

Ryan Clark Urged LaMarr Woodley All Season To Train With Him In Arizona

Via Steelers Depot  |  February 18, 2013
Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark was quite a popular man on Monday as he was also a guest on the Dave Dameshek Football Program. Clark talked about several things related to the team and made it known that he texted linebacker LaMarr Woodley to see if he had read the Sunday report by Ron Cook of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that included a quote from an anonymous player stating...

Clark Leads Hypocrisy Parade in the Steelers’ Locker Room

Via Steel City Blitz  |  February 18, 2013
Maybe all the hits Ryan Clark has taken to the head have finally come full-circle. I find it amazing how he continues to defend some teammates yet is nowhere to be found when it comes to defending others. It’s becoming a never-ending trend for Clark and frankly it’s becoming nauseating. The Pittsburgh Steelers are starting to remind me more and more of a sad reality show and...

Foote says critiscm of Woodley broke the code

Via Pro Football Zone  |  February 19, 2013
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Larry Foote can’t imagine that a teammate of his would come out and say that LaMarr Woodley was out of shape and awful this past season.  He believes it may be a coach. “I mean there have been fights in the locker room, there’s been stuff on the airplane that never got out and that’s the Steeler way,” said Foote on 93.7 The Fan, per SteelersDepot...

The Steelers have salary cap issues that aren’t going away, and they will lose their top receiver Mike Wallace as well. However, they may be able to land a former 1,000 yard receiver that fits their offense like a glove. According to Jamison Hensly of ESPN.com, in an attempt to shore up their receiving corps, the Steelers may make a move for freshly released Kansas City receiver...

NFL Teams can Place the Franchise Tag on Players Through March 4, but the Steelers Won’t be Using it This Year

Via SteelBlitz Steelers Blog  |  February 19, 2013
Starting on Monday NFL teams could officially place the Franchise Tag on their own free agents. The deadline to use the tag is March fourth, but the Steelers won’t be using the tag this year. Pittsburgh has plenty of unrestricted free agents and would love to retain Keenan Lewis and they have expressed some interest in bringing back Mike Wallace. Those two players are the only...

Steelers Mike Adams Fine With Playing On Left Or Right Side In 2013

Via Steelers Depot  |  February 18, 2013
It was an up and down season for Pittsburgh Steelers rookie tackle Mike Adams, who had his year come crashing to a halt after injuring his ankle in the Week 12 game against the Cleveland Browns, but the Ohio State product is already looking forward to the 2013. Adams saw all of his playing time at right tackle in 2012 thanks to Marcus Gilbert being injured early on in the season...

Steelers S Ryan Clark Calls Comments Made By Anonymous Teammate Cowardly

Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark made the news Monday morning when he said on NFL AM that the team might be fractured and not a close-nit group of players when commenting on the Sunday report by Ron Cook of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that quoted an anonymous player as saying linebacker LaMarr Woodley was out of shape last season and awful. Monday evening Clark was guest...

Steelers Salary Cap: Don’t Forget About Displacement When Considering Restricted Tenders

Via Steelers Depot  |  February 19, 2013
There has been a lot more discussion as of late about which of the Pittsburgh Steelers restricted free agents may or may not be tendered over the course of the next few weeks and most of the concern seems to revolve around the cap space needed to do that. I still stand my prediction that the five primary restricted free agents: Emmanuel Sanders, Isaac Redman, Jonathan Dwyer, Stevenson...

Teammate's jab at Woodley highlights deeper problem for the Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers were in the rare position of sitting at home for the playoffs at the conclusion of the 2012 season, and the team has been questioned since they failed to make the postseason. The pressure on players and coaches in Pittsburgh is unlike most teams in the league. Making the playoffs is the expectation in Pittsburgh, not a happy surprise that comes around once...

Ryan Clark’s Comments Bring Up Another Major Issue with the Pittsburgh Steelers

Via SteelBlitz Steelers Blog  |  February 18, 2013
Yesterday Ron Cook of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette wrote an article about LaMarr Woodley. In the article an unnamed Steelers player was quoted as saying the following: “He was awful,” the teammate said of Woodley to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “He tells us he works out, but we didn’t see it. He wasn’t in shape. That has to be a reason why he was always hurt.” There was...

It’s Still Time for Roethlisberger, Timmons, and Woodley to Lead the Steelers

Via SteelBlitz Steelers Blog  |  February 18, 2013
After Ryan Clark’s comments on NFL AM this morning there are some big questions surrounding the Steelers camaraderie as well as the level of leadership on the team. This isn’t a new issue, however, before the 2012 season that was one of the issues that concerned me most. In fact, I wrote this article almost a year ago: Time for Roethlisberger, Timmons, and Woodley to Lead ...

Defensive Coordinator Dick LeBeau Says Steelers Could Have Won The Super Bowl

Via GridironFans.com  |  February 20, 2013
The Steelers went 8-8 and missed the playoffs, yet defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau believes there was little to no difference between them and the team that won the Lombardi Trophy. “Do I feel we could have done the same thing they did? I do. I do,” LeBeau told Alan Robinson of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on Tuesday. “It didn't break that way.” Watching the Super...

Steelers Rivalry With Ravens Not What it Should Be

Via Steel City Blitz  |  February 20, 2013
During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union rattled their respective sabers for 70 or so years and in doing so they helped build one of the greatest rivalries in sports’ history. In the 1970′s, then-Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford started a process with the USSR called ‘detente.’ Detente of course is a French word that means ‘relaxing of tensions...
