The Steelers are off to their worst start running the ball on offense in 62 years. A lot of the blame has been put on the Steelers being without starting running back Rashard Mendenhall, but the Steelers had him for 15 and a half games in 2011 and struggled to run the ball then too. In fact when the ContinueThe post Willie Colon Blames Himself for Poor Running Game appeared first on SteelBlitz.

Steelers Finding Themselves in Limbo With Harrison?
I think we all realize that the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense is better with James Harrison on the field than off. You could certainly argue even at 75% Harrison would be a better option than either Chris Carter or Jason Worilds. The problem really doesn’t revolve around that though because what it deals with is simply getting Harrison on the field period.
I found myself at one...
Steelers’ Saunders to Return after Week 5
When Weslye Saunders was handed his fine it was stated as a four week suspension for a positive drug test. Following the positive test the general consensus was that Saunders would be available following week 4 and would only miss 3 games due to the bye week for the Steelers in week 4. The NFL has n ContinueThe post Steelers’ Saunders to Return after Week 5 appeared first on SteelBlitz.
Ben Roethlisberger playing at an elite level early in the season
Through three weeks of the NFL season, the Pittsburgh Steelers have seen lofty expectations shattered, but even loftier expectations start to come to fruition. Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is playing at a level that puts him atop the NFL’s list of passers.
Now, I’m of the school of thought that says that it’s never too early to make predictions and end up eating...
Onward Steelers; TE Miller Having Career Year
When Pittsburgh Steelers’ Offensive Coordinator Todd Haley made his first comments after accepting the job, the first player he mentioned wasn’t Mike Wallace or Ben Roethlisberger. Oddly enough, it was tight end Heath Miller who Haley spoke of in glowing terms.
After the first three games of 2012, it’s easy to see why Haley was so enamored with the talented tight end from the...
Steelers LB LaMarr Woodley Makes South Park Debut In Sarcastaball Episode
Wednesday was the season premier of South Park and the long-running cartoon started the season off by mocking the NFL and their stance on concussions, as well as the recent replacement referee debacle.
The episode centers around Randy Marsh, who’s frustrated about the excessive safety measures in football. Marsh offers up sarcastic solutions to the problem such as players playing...
Hard work paid off for Pittsburgh Steelers FB Will Johnson and agent advisor Joe Tyler
The starting fullback for the Pittsburgh Steelers is relatively unknown, as is his agent, which makes the success for both individuals a compelling story. Steelers FB Will Johnson won the starting role when David Johnson (they are not related) went down with a season-ending injury. Will Johnson was the only fullback left on the Steelers roster and became the de facto starter...

James Harrison Return Still Unknown
Troy Polamalu and James Harrison returned to practice Tuesday and participated fully. Optimism was high Tuesday night and Wednesday morning that both players would be back soon. That idea was destroyed Wednesday afternoon when Harrison left the Steelers facility before practice had even started due ContinueThe post James Harrison Return Still Unknown appeared first on SteelBlitz.
Steelers TE Weslye Saunders Not Allowed To Return Until After Eagles Game
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Weslye Saunders will not be available for the week 5 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Steelers Raiders Week 3 Defensive Participation Chart
Below are the defensive player play counts and participation chart for the Pittsburgh Steelers week 3 game against the Oakland Raiders.
Player Notes:
Nose tackle Casey Hampton played 27 snaps as opposed to just 3 for Steve McLendon. I am still finding this a little confusing. Cameron Heyward also saw just 5 defensive snaps Sunday. Both Al Woods and Will Allen saw 1 snap each...
How much will Rashard Mendenhall really help the Steelers rushing attack?
The Steelers running game is tied for last in the league through the first 3 weeks of the season (3 way tie with the Raiders and Titans). Pittsburgh is averaging just 2.6 yds per rush and has a combined pitiful 195 yds total rushing. If that doesn’t make you cringe as a Steeler fan, I don’t know what will.
The offense hasn’t ranked that low in rushing in 62 years; one can only...
