STEELERS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Steelers LB Chris Carter Enters Third Season Surrounded By Question Marks
For the first three games of the 2012 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers were forced to start linebacker Chris Carter on the right side due to both James Harrison and Jason Worilds not being fully healthy. It was a golden opportunity for the 2011 fifth-round draft pick out of Fresno State, but unfortunately not one that he took good advantage of.
Carter, who received quite a bit...
Plaxico Burress May Struggle to Earn a Roster Spot with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2013
Last year the Pittsburgh Steelers chose to only carry four wide receivers on their 53-man roster to start the season. More receivers came in later on due to injuries, but Todd Haley’s offense uses two-tight end sets and pass-catching running backs, which makes four to five receivers plenty. With some younger and less experienced receivers expected to play a role for the Steelers...
Larry Foote: Steelers ‘pissed off’ they didn’t make playoffs
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Larry Foote said he’s “pissed off” about not making the playoffs last season and for having to watch the Baltimore Ravens, the Steelers biggest rival, win the Super Bowl. “We’re pissed off
Lerry Foote says the Steelers are “pissed” they missed the playoffs in 2012
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Larry Foote toldGoBlueWolverine.com they’re very upset about missing the playoffs last season.
“We’re pissed off we didn’t make the playoffs. On top of that, our rival won the Super Bowl. I know guys are taking it personally. It’s just a whole different mindset to the off-season. I know guys are ready to get back where we need to be,”...
Steelers RB Baron Batch Must Prove He’s More Than Just A Special Teams Player This Offseason
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Baron Batch is entering his third year in the league and with no guarantees that he will make the 53 man roster out of training camp later on this summer, he will have to prove that he can be more than just a special teams player.
Batch, the Steelers seventh-round draft pick in 2011, was forced to sit out his rookie year after suffering a torn ACL...
Larry Foote Upset About Pittsburgh Steelers 2012 Season and James Harrison’s Choice to Join the Cincinnati Bengals
Pittsburgh Steelers inside linebacker Larry Foote is making his feelings well known. First, he’s not too happy about the Steelers disappointing 8-8 season in 2012. It’s unlikely that anyone would/could be happy about a season that ended as poorly as the Steelers season did last year, but as one of the leaders on the defense Foote will have to lead the team to a turnaround in...
Pittsburgh Steelers Rankings in NFL’s Top 100 Players Perfectly Show Flaws in the System
The NFL Network has been counting down the top 100 players heading into the 2013 season. The top 100 players last year showed that there were many flaws in the system and the players even asked who had voted for these rankings. According to the network the players themselves were the one’s voting. These issues, coupled with some of the players that made the list, showed that there...
Don’t Bet On Steelers DE Cameron Heyward Opening The Season As A Starter
With Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward now entering his third season in the league, many believe that he will open the 2013 season as a starter, but I wouldn't be so quick to bet on that happening.
Even though Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette posted this week in his online chat that he's been told Heyward is already better than starting left defensive...
Motivation for Ben Just Keeps Mounting
He’s hurt all the time. He hasn’t had a fourth quarter comeback in forever. It was his fault Mike Wallace left because he couldn’t throw it deep enough for him. He makes the wrong audibles. He was too ‘chummy’ with Bruce Arians and he is clearly the reason the team lost Super Bowl XLV and went 8-8 last year.
Ben Roethlisberger is a lot of things, but he isn’t Atlas. He...
Top 5 Multiple-Pick Rounds in Pittsburgh Steelers Drafts Since 2000 (Part 1 of 2)
If the 2013 Pittsburgh Steelers draft was made into a movie, the dramatic climax would come in the fourth round.
The Steelers traded next year’s third-round pick for the Browns’ fourth-round pick, No. 111, to draft flashy safety Shamarko Thomas. Then, four picks later, the Steelers dropped some jaws by drafting Landry Jones.
Jones is the first quarterback the Steelers have drafted...

Steelers likely won’t re-sign Casey Hampton
Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette doesn’t believe the Steelers would be interested in resigning free agent nose tackle Casey Hampton even if he’s not ready to retire yet.
Hampton will be turning 36 years-old in early September, it doesn’t make sense for the Steelers to bring him back. It’s time to reload and move on. They’ll be just fine without him.

The Steelers Have Struggled With Consistency Since 2008
2008 was an epic year of defensive grit and sandlot improvisation that boiled down to a miraculous culmination of last second heroics. It meant 2 rings for our quarterback, 2 rings within 3 years and on our way back to dynasty status, it meant the top of the world, with nowhere else to go but unfortunately down. 2009 was a so-so year of special teams breakdowns, the beginning of...
Steelers seeking stability on defensive front
Anchored on the front line by NT Casey Hampton and bookend DEs Kimo Von Oelhoffen and Aaron Smith the dominant 2005 Pittsburgh Steelers defense allowed a stingy 3.4 yards per carry. Von Oelhoffen left for Gang Green pastures following the Superbowl season and was replaced by incumbent DE Brett Keisel. The Steelers played .500 football in 2006 but that was due to careless turnovers...
Kevin Colbert: Steelers in ‘good shape’ with the salary cap
Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said Tuesday that the team is in “good shape” in terms of the salary cap. “Right now, we’re in good shape“, said Colbert during a 30-minute question-and-answer session with season ticket holders.
