For 15 Days we will be counting down the Top 15 Greatest Steelers of the Bill Cowher Era. The list will have both offensive and defensive players, and in doing the list no kickers or punters were selected. Below is our number choice of the day building towards the number one Steeler of the Cowher [...]

Steelers wide out Hines Ward had minor surgery on Tuesday to repair a broken nose that he suffered in Sunday night’s 27-13 win over the Philadelphia Eagles at Hienz Field. Ward, known for being one of the more aggressive wide outs in the game, never mentioned the injury. All that was given as [...]

The Steelers fifth and final running back spot on the roster will come down to fullback Dan Krieder, halfback Verron Haynes and fullback John Kuhn.  This comes from Monday’s announcement of the release of Kevan Barlow, who was hoping to play in his hometown but was a victim of a team that seems to have [...]

Jerome Bettis is talking, and in doing so is taking some shots as his former coach. The former Steelers running back and future Hall of Famer is set to release a book about his career – “The Bus: My Life in and Out of a Helmet,” and in the book there are some tidbits about [...]

While Dan Kreider is a player that seems to be what Pittsburgh is all about, there seems to be enough momentum right now pointing to the fact that Kreider’s Steeler career might be coming to an end.  With a new look offense, Kreider’s role as the teams top fullback might not be all that needed, [...]

While the Steelers first team offense didn’t generate all that much on Saturday night vs the Redskins, the team hung in there and did enough to overcome Washington 12-10 to move to 2-1 on the preseason. A late short field goal from Connor Hughes was the difference, as the Steelers converted four field goals [...]
