Traveling Light Into Thin Air

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:26:00 -0500

I'm sure a lot of observers who watched the Broncos game against the Ravens last week came away thinking the Ravens had somehow created a blueprint to beating Denver, which is kind of silly, because, even though Baltimore had more success than other teams have had against Denver's defense, Josh McDaniels put together one of the stupidest offensive gameplans I've seen this season. Unless, he plans on replicating that week in and week out (and, hey, I wouldn't particularly mind)...

Monday Is D-Day For Denver...

At this point, you may be wondering what we were smoking when we came up with that photojob idea, and theme. Well, the answer is, the Denver Post...Not surprisingly, the word has spread out west.Steeler fans are a force, not unlike the pig flu. No matter where you are, you can't escape.And if they didn't know before, any Broncos fans who read the Denver Post now know that.But we know that it's going to take way more than several thousand drunken yinzers to bring home a win on Mond...

BTSC Steelers Daily Six Pack- Sorry It Really Hasn't Been "Daily" Latley Edition

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:14:04 -0500

IX-Another somewhat uneventful day of football this Sunday with the Steelers on a bye week many of the games turned out to be one-sided. Probably the most important game in Steeler nation was the match up of the Ravens and the previously undefeated Denver Broncos. Both teams struggled in the first half with the Ravens taking a 3-0 lead, but in the second half the Ravens and Joe Flacco were very impressive on offense and added a huge splash play on special teams and eventually ...

Pregame Zone Blitz: Browns at Steelers

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 06:17:47 -0500

More photos » by Don Heupel - AP Browse more photos » Fourth quarter points? Psshaw! All that means is our offense scores enough to force teams to come back. Detroit had nothing else to play for, and the fact Daunte Culpepper threw perhaps the stupidest pass I've ever seen (including high school quarterbacks) is exactly what makes them the Lions. It's tough to worry when you've got a passer the likes of Ben Roethlisberger under ce...

RB Redman Dumped; Eason Brought Back

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 19:08:01 -0500

I guess we’ll never know the real talent of Isaac Redmen, as today the team dumped the RB for Nick Eason, who was dumped last week to bring Redman on the active roster: Isaac Redman’s stay with the Steelers was a short one, Redman was released today after two days and one game on the [...]

EASON IN, REDMAN OUT

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 17:25:00 -0500

The Steelers' game of roster musical chairs found a seat for recently-released DE Nick Eason and once again sent RB Red Zone Redman turning in his uniform. The Steelers do have room on their practice squad, so the possibility exists that Redman could be headed there. As riveting as this news is, I feel the need to fill this post out with a few other Steeler links from today:

--When you talk about Ben Roethlisberger as much as I do, you can expect to get pummeled with emails when Lord Peter King proclaimeth our celebrated quarterback the third-best in the NFL right now. And to answer your question, no, I'm not nearly as excited about this development as you would imagine. I think even I'm tired of hearing myself talk about how great Roethlisberger is at this point.

--Hines Ward talked to the boys at the Kiss 96.1 Morning Show on Monday about a variety of colorful topics, and you can listen to that here.

--Rapper Common is making blog headlines for his in-person diss of Browns QB Brady Quinn at a Cleveland show last week. Dissing Brady Quinn? That's so 2007. [Fan Sided]

--And finally, one of my most loyal e-mailers has twice reminded me today to mention that it's Mario Lemieux's birthday. So let's all blow out a candle for the best thing to happen to Pittsburgh sports, quite possibly of all time. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got some WWE Raw to watch.

ISAAC REDMAN COMING TO SAVE THE DAY

Sat, 03 Oct 2009 16:53:00 -0500

The much-maligned Steeler running game will get help in the form of camp standout and fan favorite Isaac Redman, who was promoted to the active roster today. Willie Parker is now officially out with his turf toe, and Rashard Mendenhall will enter the sink-or-swim portion of his pro career as the starter. The musical chairs at the position also leaves Mewelde Moore and newly-signed Carey Davis on the active roster and Frank the Tank Summers on IR. Also, DE Nick Eason was released today to make room for Redman, who will wear the #33 made famous by Frenchy Fuqua, Merrill Hoge, Bam Morris, and Gary Russell.

Redman ran for 145 yards on 37 carries (3.91 YPC) and three touchdowns during the 2009 preseason. His ability to find the end zone earned him the nickname "Red Zone", but he was unceremoniously released on the final cut in favor of Summers. The team was obviously desperate for depth at the position with just two halfbacks on the roster, but we'll see what Redman can do with this second chance.

Make Way For Isaac Redman...

Sat, 03 Oct 2009 16:09:21 -0500

Today, the Steelers released Nick Eason in order to make room on the roster for the man we affectionately call Redzone Redman. Which means Redman is now active for tomorrow's game. So maybe now if the Steelers get the ball inside the 10 tomorrow, they'll actually score a touchdown. Wouldn't that be something new and different?Fine work, Tomlin. And good luck Redman!Go get 'em, killer!Obligatory Footer - If you haven't already, become a fan of OFTOT on Facebook, j...
