A common NFL narrative is that football is a sub-package world. One of extra defensive backs, not more defensive linemen. One that’s been applied to Pittsburgh. Rejection of the team’s base 3-4 defense to nickel packages. Like many narratives, that’s partially true. Over the past 10-15 years, football has opened up. Emphasis has centered on […]

Linebacker Larry Foote was a key piece of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense in the 2000s, helping them win two Super Bowls. While he retired following the 2014 season, he’s still been in the NFL, only as a coach. He’s currently with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as their run game coordinator and outside linebackers coach. Bruce […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers came into this offseason knowing wide receiver was a major position of need. In their moves for Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard, the Steelers made some big improvements. But could they still be in need of another receiver, particularly a free agent in Stefon Diggs? “I think a team with a […]

The Steelers reached agreements on long-term contracts with two members of their 2023 draft class, but not their most successful player.

While Nick Herbig and Darnell Washington both signed four-year deals during OTAs, Joey Porter Jr. remains without an extension.

Coming off his best season and not allowing a touchdown to an opposing wide receiver, Porter is in line to be paid like a top 10 corner, at least in theory.

In his latest Steelers chat for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, longtime reporter Gerry Dulac expressed that the two sides are still apart on a deal.

“They haven’t soured on the...

Wide receiver has been a problem for the Pittsburgh Steelers for last few years. While they used to be one of the best teams in the league at drafting and developing wideouts, they’ve had less success recently. They’re hoping that Germie Bernard can change that, though.

Last month, former Steelers tight end Eric Ebron pointed the finger at Ben Roethlisberger for went wrong late in the 2020 season.

“We was snapping,” Ebron said on the Raw Room podcast. “We had a meeting. Ben called all the starters into the meeting. He was like, ‘Fellas, my knees is getting bad. I’m not gonna be able to get up under center.’ I go, ‘We’re...

Cam Heyward has put together a long, illustrious NFL career. But it hasn’t come without bumps and bruises, some more painful than others. One of the more painful ones Heyward experienced was a severe groin injury in Week 1 of the 2023 season against San Francisco. Given the severity of the injury, it initially seemed […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense hasn’t been pretty to watch for most of this decade. Much of that can be blamed on their poor offensive coordinators. Nothing was worse than Matt Canada’s stint with the Steelers, though. He was the team’s offensive coordinator from 2021-2023, and Pittsburgh’s offense was absolutely miserable for most of that time.
