UNITY TWP., Pa. — General manager Omar Khan and Tomlin spent the offseason massively remaking the team’s roster, adding Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey, Jonnu Smith and Darius Slay while shipping out or letting go Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, Najee Harris, George Pickens and Minkah Fitzpatrick.

A lot of that process came down to Xs and Os. Rodgers figures to be a better fit for Arthur Smith’s offensive scheme than Wilson was. Ditto for rookie running back Kaleb Johnson compared to Harris. The additions of both Slay and Ramsey show a markedly increased emphasis on the team’s ability to...

There was a lot of hype and anticipation heading into the Pittsburgh Steelers’ preseason opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars last Saturday night, the game set to give us our first look at the team’s rookie class inside a stadium.

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has lofty expectations for the defense this season.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have stars at every level of their defense, and that has head coach Mike Tomlin believing the group can be very special in 2025.

In fact, Tomlin recently admitted that he thinks the Steelers defense could turn out to be one of the best ever.

“We feel really good about the prospects of this group. We do,” Tomlin told the DVE Morning Show. “We’ve got to write that story. We’ve got enough talent, we’ve got enough schematics to do big, big things. When...

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it’s joint practices like Thursday’s scheduled against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Joint practices are largely seen as better environments for the team than preseason games, and head coach Mike Tomlin has said his starters will participate in Thursday’s event, despite not playing in the preseason opener last Saturday.

So why are they better, and if they’re so much better, why do we still have preseason games? Alan breaks...

Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but Broderick Jones could be the second most important player on the Steelers’ offense this year, behind only the quarterback he’s protecting. Thus, some found it troubling to hear of his early training camp struggles, and a subsequent soft-tissue injury that kept him out of action. Since returning, […]

If the Pittsburgh Steelers’ season plays out the way Conor Orr predicts, it’ll be a tough year for the Black and Gold. Though he has the team finishing with a 9-8 record, a slow start ultimately dooms the Steelers to a third-place finish in the AFC North. Predicting the game-by-game record for every team, Orr […]

It’s not a position battle that’s going to draw a ton of attention, but it might be the Pittsburgh Steelers’ biggest one ahead of the 2025 season. That would be the punter battle between veterans Cameron Johnston and Corliss Waitman. Johnston was signed to a three-year deal ahead of the 2024 season to address Pittsburgh’s […]

UNITY TWP., Pa. — Pittsburgh Steelers third-year offensive tackle Broderick Jones is still adjusting to moving to the left side, but the more he does it, the easier it gets.

“It was never about being comfortable,” Jones said at St. Vincent College on Tuesday. “It’s just the repetition and getting used to being back on that side. That’s all it really is for me, continuing to get reps on the left side.”

Jones is coming off a standout performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the first preseason game. Jones did not allow a single pressure in 12 snaps, according to...

Pittsburgh Steelers GM Omar Khan still feels good about the wide receiver room, at least publicly, but it’s hard to find any others who are confident in it behind star receiver DK Metcalf coming out of training camp. That’s in large part due to the lingering injury to Calvin Austin III that is unknown at […]
