Pittsburgh_steelers_v_4e60
We’ve spent way too much time talking about Special Teams this year, but here we go again. We wrote a few articles over the past 2 seasons about Jeff Reed’s kickoff struggles and a some discussion over at Steelerfury.com last Sunday brought this to the front of my mind...

Diagnosing the Steelers Recent Offensive Problems

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense has done a lot of things very well this year, but not much went right last Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals defense held the Steelers to only 3.6 yards per play offensively. Consider that the Steelers offense had been averaging...

Short Yardage Formations

The Steelers are a pass-first team right now and I don’t have a problem with it.  In fact, I love it.  Getting more balance on offense is something we need to strive for but if you have Big Ben, Holmes, Ward, Miller, Wallace, Sweed, McDonald, Spaeth, etc…then you BETTER...

Take the check down, Ben

Check out how underused RBs are in the Steeler passing game.  No screens, no swings, no RB vs LB mismatches in space, very few check-downs. Sack 1: A 2nd and 8 quickly turns into a 3rd and 13.  These are the types of sacks that usually kill you and take you out of field goal range...

Orakpo: Defensive Rookie Of The Year?

The Skins drafted Brian Orakpo to be a pass rushing DE but the team made him the starting strong-side LB after parting ways with Marcus Washington. Despite playing out of position, Orakpo has 7 sacks in 9 games and has helped make the Skins D one of the best pass rushing units in the league. [...]

LJ about to sign with Bengals

Link here Maybe he gets rejuvenated and plays like he did a few years ago…if so….great move for Cincy.  My money is on the opposite happening.  Hopefully he ruins their locker room from the inside out.   There is also a chance that this upsets starting RB Ced Benson...

Never Punt

This is a really unique idea.  Read this article from CNNSI last week: Virtually every time the Pulaski Academy Bruins face fourth down, the prep school team from Little Rock, Ark., goes for it. No matter the distance. And here’s the thing — the strategy works. Coach...

Ziggy Hood getting more playing time

Ziggy saw 43% of the defensive snaps last week, indicating that he is earning the trust of the Steeler coaching staff.  Two weeks ago he was on the field for 10 plays.  The game before that, he saw 6 snaps. Dick LeBeau and the Steeler coaching staff gave credit to Ziggy for forcing...

Polamalu/Mendenhall to make a difference

The Steelers blew an opportunity in Week 3 to beat the Bengals.  They were up 13-3 and then 20-10 but couldn’t hold on to that lead.  They out-gained the Bengals by 100 total yards and controlled the clock for 35 minutes.  The Steelers usually win games like this but a 4th...

Mike Williams will be out 2-4 weeks with an ankle injury and could be placed on injured reserve if he’s unable to get back in shape during that time. As a result, the Skins will have to put Stefon Heyer back at RT and start recently acquired Levi Jones (formerly of the Bengals) at LT. [...]

Larry Johnson to the Steelers?

According to a number of NFL insiders, Larry Johnson could end up in Pittsburgh. I’m not sure he is really needed but I wouldn’t have a problem bringing LJ on board for the rest of the year.  Willie Parker won’t be here next year and he’s not 100% healthy...

Big Ben confounds critics

In the quarter century that followed their win in Super Bowl XIV, the Pittsburgh Steelers had some very good offenses and intimidating, smash mouth defenses. Yet in all that time, they were unable to win another until they drafted quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Since his arrival...
