Steelers Hoping to Avoid Trap Game in Music City
Posted on 11 Oct 2012 by Rob Stroup.
Pittsburgh is heading to Nashville for a Thursday night prime time contest against the Tennessee Titans. Pittsburgh and Tennessee used to be divisional foes when the Titans were the Houston Oilers, but now they play less often and this is no longer considered a rivalry game. The Steelers have an all-time mark of 41-29 against the Titans franchise (34-19 vs. Houston, but only 7-10 since the m...

Suisham Kicks Pittsburgh to .500 Mark
Posted on 7 Oct 2012 by Rob Stroup.
It may have been ugly, but a team’s win total at the end of the season does not get extra credit for style points. The Pittsburgh Steelers can be thankful for that fact as they edged the Philadelphia Eagles 16-14. Pittsburgh continued to shoot itself in the foot with costly penalties (9 penalties for 106 yards) and allowing two important fourth down conversions. In a game where Pittsburgh...

Steelers Preseason Recap
Posted on 1 Sep 2012 by Rob Stroup.
Another preseason game, another devastating injury. Sean Spence, a rookie middle linebacker who was drafted in the third round, left the game in the third quarter with what coach Mike Tomlin deemed a “significant” left knee injury, including multiple ligament tears. Let's recap our first four 2012 draft picks: David DeCastro (RG) – dislocated kneecap, MCL surgery, and torn...

What is the worst nightmare for coaches and fans alike during the preseason? In a word, injuries. Pittsburgh encountered such a dilemma on Saturday night, as the Steelers visited western New York to do battle with the Bills. On the second offensive drive of the first quarter, rookie offensive right guard David DeCastro got pushed backwards and awkward had his knee twisted beneath him, causi...

Steelers Pre-Season #2 Game Summary
Posted on 19 Aug 2012 by Rob Stroup.
In the preseason, I am far more intrigued by how a team plays than the end result of the game. As such, this week’s review focuses on different facets of the game. Though it hardly matters, the Pittsburgh Steelers won 26-24 over the Indianapolis Colts. Steelers Offense Passing Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had a terrible read as the Colts safety, Antoine Bethea, undercut a WR out route t...

Steelers Lose to Eagles in First Preseason Test, 24-23
Posted on 10 Aug 2012 by Rob Stroup.
The Steelers may have lost against the Eagles 24-23, but the final result was not the primary concern for the team. How they played the game and avoiding injury were far more important. Their first content was just that – a first game. The first team offense, led by Ben Roethlisberger, only played one series and notched a field goal on a drive that elapsed nearly ten minutes. The short ...

Pittsburgh Steelers Training Camp Notes
Posted on 1 Aug 2012 by Rob Stroup.
As we get ready for the 2012-2013 season, I'll pass along to you brief news and notes from Latrobe. Due to the new Collective Bargaining Agreement rules, the first three days of training camp amounted to walkthroughs because the team has a limited number of padded practices. Then, they had the day off Monday. Receivers' routes were more like jogging without the jog. It is considerably les...

Posted on 29 Apr 2012 by Drew Karpen.
The conversation on what the one weakness for the Pittsburgh Steelers for years has been their offensive line. General Manager Kevin Colbert made sure early on that he would silence his critics. Even with the need of offensive linemen, many analysts believed they would still go with All-American linebacker from the University of Alabama, Dont’a Hightower. The Steelers would have been more...

GAMEDAY PREVIEW: Florida vs Vanderbilt
Posted on 4 Nov 2010 by The Gator Great.
Florida goes on the road Saturday to take on fellow SEC East rival Vanderbilt. On paper this doesn't seem to be much of a game. Vanderbilt is 2-6 this year, with its wins coming against Mississippi and Eastern Michigan. As bad as the Gator offense has been this year, Vanderbilt has been worse. In fact the Commodore offense ranks dead last in the SEC in scoring and total yards. To mak...

Oh Henry ! Gators win in OT
Posted on 31 Oct 2010 by The Gator Great.
Florida managed to scratch and claw its way through a closely fought game to win a hard earned victory over division rival Georgia in Jacksonville this Saturday. This traditional Border War of college football lacked some of the lustre it has had in the past years due to the poor season of each team. In fact, this was the first time since 1979 that both teams were unranked going into Jack...

Gators Mid-Week Update
Posted on 15 Sep 2010 by The Gator Great.
The biggest news of the week so far in Gatorland was the arrest of starting slot receiver Chris Rainey for “aggravating stalking”. To make a long story short, Rainey texted a threat to his on and off girlfriend of 3 years after he left her house Monday night following a 10 minutes conversation/argument. The text in question said “time to die”. For more details on t...
