The Terrible Podcast – Talking Steelers Rookies, Draft, Sanders, Starks, Batch Comments & More Episode
Season 3, Episode 99 of The Terrible Podcast is up and co-host David Todd and I have quite a bit to talk about in our second post draft episode. We start off by talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers decision to sign punter Brian Moorman to compete with Drew Butler in training camp and both agree that it was a pretty good signing. The Steelers also appear to be in the market for a...
Steelers Sign Free Agent P Brian Moorman
Steelers punter Drew Butler didn't exactly have a banner year in 2012. He beat out Jason Kapinos during camp while Kapinos was injured much of the time.
As it is, it appears the Steelers could have their fourth different punter in four seasons after signing veteran P Brian Moorman as competition.
Moorman, who was released in Buffalo in 2012, and, incidentally, beat out...
Pittsburgh Steelers Sign Punter Brian Moorman
The Steelers have signed, longtime Bills punter, Brian Moorman. He will compete with Drew Butler to be the starter. Last season was not great for Moorman and played a total of 15 games with the Bills and Cowboys. He finished near the bottom of the league among punters and is looking to regain his form. He played for the Bills since 2001 and was regarded as one of the better legs...

Tomlin Got it Right on Special Teams This Week
Pittsburgh Steelers’ Head Coach Mike Tomlin has been my personal punching bag on my than one occasion this season and while not all of it was deserved in some eyes, I have to believe the vast majority of Steelers’ Nation will agree with me in praising the Steelers’ boss. Mike Tomlin finally got the hint. It’s one that far too many NFL and even college football coaches are...
Four Steelers’ players won $100 from Powerball ticket
Even though they already make a nice living, Drew Butler, Casey Hampton, Shaun Suisham and Greg Warren of the Pittsburgh Steelers bought $200 worth of Powerball tickets.

Butler said they were happy to get at least half of their money back from the drawing...
Steelers Versus Giants Game Rewind – Second Half Notes
The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the New York Giants 24-20 Sunday and below are my second half notes from the game. Here are my first half notes if you missed them.
Chris Rainey gets the second half started with a great return that is keyed by a double team block made by Cameron Heyward and Leonard Pope. Unfortunately the offense goes three and out as Ben Roethlisberger is sacked...
Steelers overcome NFL Officials, Giants, and themselves in gut check win 24-20
We’ve been saying all week that this was the biggest game of the year; a litmus test for a team trying to find itself and get back on track in the AFC North.

After fighting through so much adversity on the field and a good Giants...

DeMarcus Van Dyke could come up big vs. Raiders too
When the Steelers decided to pick up a piece of Raiders trash named DeMarcus Van **** just days before the season, it was obvious the kid was brought in for his speed. He is faster than Mike Wallace after all – that can never be bad thing.
DVD was one of Oakland’s top four corners from a year ago and even started four games. That secondary gave up 251 yards a game and 31 passing...

On the Steelers; What Keeping Four Wide Recievers Means
A lot of experts are calling this season for the Pittsburgh Steelers a ‘transition’ year and they may be right in the end, but after cut-down day yesterday the real transition may be in the approach on offense. With the Steelers choosing to keep just four wide receivers and four tight ends on the active roster, I think the following conclusions can be drawn;
Despite not playing...
Essex, Kapinos among Steelers' cuts

Steelers roster down to 75 after first cuts
The Steelers could’ve waited until after practice today to get their roster down form 90 to 75 for the 4 p.m. NFL cutdown but instead, they decided to forego the awkwardness and just give 15 guys their walking papers early this morning.
Most of the guys that were cut were just training camp filler but there were a couple of shockers/disappointments that happened…and didn...
