The Pittsburgh Steelers have unfortunately been stuck in the middle of the NFL landscape for a while now, but Mike McCarthy‘s experience and offensive-minded approach have sparked some optimism within the fanbase. As this franchise has found out the hard way, it’s increasingly difficult to vault back into contendership without a true franchise quarterback. Having said that, there are other notable areas in which they can improve that could create a pathway towards an upwards trajectory.

I wanted to revisit five of the team’s biggest issues from the final act of the Mike Tomlin era—what went wrong, and how the...

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Kaleb Johnson had a rookie season to forget. The most memorable 2025 moment for him came against the eventual Super Bowl-champion Seattle Seahawks. But it was memorable for all the wrong reasons. He failed to down a kickoff in his own end zone that was recovered by the Seahawks for a touchdown. […]

It’s that time of year again where players are ranked by their peers in the NFL’s Top 100 from last season. The first Denver Broncos player to make this list is none other than defensive lineman Zach Allen.

Allen has been on the ascent since signing with Denver in free agency in 2023. He has thrived under Vance Joseph’s defensive scheme with two All-Pro selections. He has accumulated 20.5 sacks in three years and 8 passes defensed (batted passes at the line). He has also amassed 111 quarterback hits in three seasons after just 43 in four seasons with the...

There will be a game at Lambeau Field on Sunday, September 6th, but it won’t involve the Green Bay Packers. While the Packers will have that week “off” between the preseason and regular season, Wisconsin and Notre Dame will travel to Green Bay for a Labor Day weekend matchup to kick off their respective seasons in the newest edition of Notre Dame’s “Shamrock Series.”

Over the past two days, both teams have dropped alternative jerseys for this Shamrock Series game, including hype videos that accompany their new looks.

The Badgers’ video is voiced over by Vince Biegel, who played for...

There are six ongoing starting quarterback battles taking place around the NFL this fall. The Cleveland Browns may have the unlikeliest one, in that a former MVP candidate, Deshaun Watson, is competing with a second-year pro who was selected 144th overall last April, Shedeur Sanders. Yet, oddly enough, the Day 3 draft pick may be the one who wins this gig, showing that it really doesn’t matter where you’re selected, even if it was once with the 12th overall pick in the first round like Watson was in 2017.

Sanders has ‘Closed the Gap’ on Watson

It’s a new...

July 9 – Ep. 107: For this episode of The Depot Dive, Joe Clark and I discuss the ESPN polls from scouts, coaches, and execs and where Steelers have placed on the lists so far. What does Joey Porter Jr.’s ranking mean for his contract negotiations (if anything), and why was Cam Heyward snubbed? Next, […]

Do you agree or disagree with the general take from this feed post?

Dolphins

Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald takes a look at the five most intriguing position battles on the Dolphins going into training camp:

• Jackson notes that the No. 6 receiver job could come down to Jalen Reagor, Theo Wease Jr., Terrace Marshall Jr., Tahj Washington, AJ Henning, and Donoven McCulley if Chris Bell starts the season on the physically unable to perform list. Jackson has Reagor, Wease, and Marshall ahead of the other candidates based on the other players’ talent ceilings.
• As for Miami keeping Ben Sims as its fourth tight end, Jackson writes that his...

Pittsburgh Steelers fans were left frustrated once again with how the 2025 season ended for their favorite team. While the Steelers won their division, they once again failed to win a playoff game. It was more of the same, reinforcing the narrative that the Steelers are stuck in a cycle of mediocrity. Many people blamed […]

*It is Day 66 of our 100-day countdown to kickoff. We are looking back at the 100 most iconic games in Dallas Cowboys history. The countdown will leads us right up to the opening game of 2026. Our look back doesn’t depend on just one criteria for our rankings. We take into consideration things like how big the game was for the organization, how memorable the game was, games that had unusual events take place, games that are a part of NFL lore, Cowboys firsts, and games where the Cowboys just plain dominated. Variety is the spice of life and...

Edge defender Von Miller remains without a team as training camp draws closer, but the 37-year-old has made it clear he wants to play in 2026. Miller lobbied for reunions with a pair of his former teams, the Broncos and Bills, during the spring. Neither club has pursued Miller, who has turned his attention to the Cowboys.

A native of nearby DeSoto, Texas, and a former Texas A&M star, Miller expressed interest in signing with Dallas on Monday, telling RJ Ochoa of Blogging The Boys, *“This would be the first time my mom and dad don’t have to fly...

In a survey of NFL execs, scouts, and coaches by ESPN, L.A. Rams’ defensive tackle wasn’t ranked in the top-10 at his position. Or even as an honorable mention.

Turner only qualified as “got votes”.

Also receiving votes: Cameron Heyward, Kobie Turner, Osa Odighizuwa, Kenny Clark, David Onyemata, Ed Oliver

It’s not the treatment usually given to defensive tackles with 24 sacks over their first three career seasons. Turner even added a critical red zone interception against the Seahawks in November.

The top defensive tackle on the list is Seattle’s Leonard Williams. Jeffery Simmons, Jalen Carter, Chris Jones, and...
