Steelers Gab

With about two weeks to the opener, the Steelers continue to work as they get ready for their real final preseason test in Denver Sunday night (we all know no one will really play vs the Panthers a week from Thursday). With that, there are still question marks on the roster, and areas to [...]

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin appeared on NFL Total Access on Tuesday night, and talked quite a bit about his franchise QB – Ben Roethlisberger. There’s been plenty of talk about Ben being a changed man after the issues he had in Georgia in March, with wide out Hines Ward saying Ben has been “night [...]

Hines Ward will have a bust in Canton someday, no doubt about it. He is the Steelers all-time leading wide out, and is a former Super Bowl MVP.
He got a taste of Canton on Saturday night when he was there with the team honoring Dick LeBeau, and was asked if he realizes he’s passed [...]

Hines Ward was back on his official Facebook profile today – talking about how good the practice was, and right now how he feels the offense is headed in a good direction – which is good news for the black and gold:
Today was a great day at practice. We are working on situational football. Last [...]

Hines Ward sat out voluntary practice on Wednesday, as his strained hamstring suffered last month continues to hold him back.
“This is like touch football right now,” Ward said. “I can run, it’s just why am I in a hurry to come back to run a curl route?” Ward said. “It’s not [...]

There’s been talk about the future for Hines Ward, as he just signed a 5-year deal on draft day last season in terms of how long he’s going to play. I thought Ward had an outstanding 2009, catching 95 passes for 1167 yards and six touchdowns. Now with Santonio Holmes in New York, [...]

Last season there was plenty of talk about the issues between Hines Ward and Ben Roethlisberger after the issues around the Sunday night interview before the first Ravens-Steelers game.
