The Steelers secondary finished 2009 as a shell shocked unit unable to stop or make a big play. When something similar happened in 2002 the Steelers brass responded by maneuvering to bring in Troy Polamalu in the 2003 NFL Draft. In the winter of 2010 Mike Tomlin responded by dipping back into the secondary he’d […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers entered their 2012 season finale with the Cleveland Browns carrying a unique distinction – for the first time in the Mike Tomlin era, the men in Black and Gold would play a game with zero playoff implications.

What is Mike Wallace really worth? That is a very difficult question to answer and Steelers future as a Super Bowl contender might hinge on Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin’s having gotten the answer correct.

In all fairness to Bettis, the should be Hall of Famer: His average was good and the Steelers spent the day playing from behind… AND the Jim Miller experiment as a starter had last all of 2 quarters… AND Greg Lloyd […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers have resigned former starting offensive tackle Max Starks to bolster the offensive line. The move apparently came at the behest of Ben Roethlisberger, who was drafted […]
The theme of “You can come home again” which has been prominent in Steelers free agent moves since 2010 got a new twist today when outgoing starting free safety Ryan Clark signed with the Washington Redskins. Ryan Clark broke into the league in 2002 as an undrafted rookie free agent but didn’t establish himself as […]
LeGarrette Blount will visit Pittsburgh today, a trip delay so he could meet with Mike Tomlin, Kevin Colbert, and Art Rooney II. Meanwhile, Behind the Steel Curtain reports that Maurice Jones-Drew will visit Oakland. The Pittsburgh is in need of a running back to back up Le’Veon Bell. The Steelers are also in need of […]
As the NFL’s most active free agent signing period is coming to an end, the Pittsburgh Steelers are finishing things in similar fashion to how they began – short on salary cap space. #Steelers about $1 million under 2014 NFL Salary Cap http://t.co/a55z8bjgHM— BTSC Steelers (@btsteelcurtain) March 27, 2014 Before free agency began only the […]
