We continue on with our post draft look at the 2012 Pittsburgh Steelers by looking at the depth chart of the tight end and fullback positions. This is the fifth positional breakdown of the roster we have done after already looking at the offensive line, defensive line, running backs and wide receivers thus far.
Heath Miller - Miller quietly put up his second best season as a pro in 2011 by catching 51 passes for 631 yards to go along with 2 touchdowns. He also continued to be one of the best blocking tight ends in the league as he played nearly 1050 offensive snaps last season. New offensive Read more [...]

Steelers Cornerbacks Bringing A New Dynamic To The Table
By Cian Fahey
Prior to last season, I wrote that Keenan Lewis would add a new dynamic to the Steelers defense, even though he wasn't a full-time starter, Lewis did do that playing the outside position in the team's nickel defense. What I didn't realize at the time was that Lewis was only the first step in a certain revamping of the Steelers' style.
Over the past...
Limas Sweed Still Having Trouble Catching On With Another Team
It is extremely tough not to root for wide receiver Limas Sweed, who was originally drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second round of the 2008 NFL draft. The Steelers gave the 6 foot, 4 inch receiver out of Texas every opportunity to shake his demons since they drafted him, but they finally were forced to part ways with him last season as he had problems staying on the field...
Steelers Could Have To Wait A Little Longer To Get David DeCastro Signed
The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed seven of their nine draft picks thus far and while their third round pick, linebacker Sean Spence, is expected to sign sometime this week or next, it could end up being a little longer before first round pick David DeCastro is under contract.
According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the hold up is likely because of a wait to see which...
Poor Linebacker Play In 2011 Likely Culprit For Inflated Tackles For Ryan Clark
Pittsburgh Steelers free safety Ryan Clark had a great statistical season last year as far as tackles go. He was in on 100 tackles total with 71 credited to him as being of the solo variety, where he was the primary, or in some cases, the only player involved in making the stop. Both of those numbers were career highs for Clark, but that is not necessarily such a good thing though...
New News That There Is No New News With Mike Wallace
Adam Schefter of ESPN reported today that there was no news to report on Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace, who continues to refuse to sign his restricted free agent tender until he has to. Schefter said Tuesday on NFL Livethat it "may be awhile" before the Steelers see Wallace at the team facility, and that Wallace won’t sign the tender "until he absolutely...

Steelers projected 53 man roster for 2012
The draft is over. There has been some time to take a look at the roster. The Steelers could make another move or two but they really will not be forced to. If they want some depth at a position or are looking to bring in competition it is possible but with the salary cap the way it is that may not make money sense. Someone else would get cut to start the season.
This team...
2012 Pittsburgh Steelers Projected Starting Lineups
Offense
Quarterback – Ben Roethlisberger: Out of all the people that liked what the Steelers did in the draft, no one liked it as much as Ben Roethlisberger. The Steelers need Big Ben to stay healthy down the stretch this season or else they’ll likely face another early exit in the playoffs.
Running Back – Isaac Redman: With Rashard Mendenhall likely out for at least the majority...
Steelers post draft position breakdown: Tight Ends
The tight end position for the Steelers is one of those things that every fan screams for more use of every year but we never seem to get our prayers answered. Each year we wonder if the offense will finally feature more use of the tight end in the redzone or on 3rd down, but deep down inside we know it’s not going to happen. It’s just not what the Steelers do.
Now with new offensive...
Prime Nine: Best Year For Ben Roethlisberger In 2012?
By Jeremy Hritz
With the egress of Bruce Arians and the addition of Todd Haley, the Pittsburgh Steelers will be lining up opening night against the Denver Broncos with a new offense that apparently is so complex that Ben Roethlisberger labeled it the Rosetta Stone. While nobody has ever accused Ben of being a rocket scientist, the seasoned veteran should not have any issues in assimilating...

Jared Wickerham/Getty Images North America
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter via Evan Silva, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Mike Wallace isn’t going to sign his restricted free agent tender anytime soon.
“Not going to sign that restricted free agent tender anytime soon. May be awhile before they see Wallace,” said Schefter.
I’d be surprised if Wallace even shows up for...
Steelers Changing Right Before Our Eyes, Again
The Jerome Bettis led teams of the late 90′s and early prided themselves on running the football and stopping the run. They struggled to pass the ball efficiently and the defense struggled to stop the pass. Quarterbacks like Tom Brady and Peyton Manning were able to pick apart the defense and Continue
Reflections on O’Donnell and Super Bowl XXX
During the off-season, we at steeleraddicts are looking back at memorable moments in Steelers’ History as well as some we may not want to remember at all.
There are times when I think about it that it seems almost surreal. And to think that it was in 1996 makes it feel stranger and makes me feel older. Super Bowl XXX was surreal on a couple of levels because the Pittsburgh Steelers...
