Steelers Likely To Be Awarded Two 7th Round Compensatory 2012 Draft Picks

TEMPE, AZ -- If quarterback Kevin Kolb plays this Sunday against the Cowboys, maybe the Cardinals can begin putting their offensive house in order. The belief in the locker room is that the defense is well on its way to mastering first-year coordinator Ray Horton's complex scheme.
"We are starting to trust each other and that's the biggest thing," defensive end Calais Campbell said...

TEMPE, Ariz. Once in a great while, a plan comes together.
Were not talking about this Sundays opponents at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia: the Arizona Cardinals and the Philadelphia Eagles. Both clubs have strayed far from the preseason plan.

Getting the Gang Back Together: The Steelers Offseason
The Steelers approach to free agency has long been to keep their own guys they want to keep and to disdain high profile free agents from others teams. The 2011 offseason is more of the same, perhaps to a fault. As of Sunday night, the Steelers have not signed a free agent that played on another team in 2010, while re-upping CB Ike Taylor, RB Mewelde Moore, OT Willie Colon, P Daniel...
