The Trib this morning had this tidbit from Pro Bowl LB LaMarr Woodley who says it was the defenses fault for blowing 4th quarter leads in 2009:
The Steelers regularly started seven players on defense last season who were at least 30 years old and they lost five games that they led in the fourth quarter. [...]
The Steelers defense looked like the 08 version for three quarters on Sunday holding the Bengals offense to just a miss of a field goal. Problem was, they didn’t play a full 60 minutes. We all know by now what took place in the fourth and final disaster of a quarter for the [...]
Steelers starting RB Willie Parker just didn’t feel right waking up Saturday night, but should be okay. Parker missed Saturday’s session with back spasms, although the team says it should not be a major problem.
Coach Mike Tomlin said Parker woke up with his back not feeling right. The Steelers had their first [...]
Steelers LB LaMarr Woodley was in a slump near the end of the season, going the final four games during the regular season without registering a sack. Woodley had 11.5 sacks in his first 12 games before suddenly not beng able to get one on opposing QB’s.

They may be ready to make a serious run at the Super Bowl, but for the Steelers, for the most part they are going to be shut out of the Pro Bowl on February 8th in Hawaii. The Black and Gold have just three players on the AFC squad – LB James Harrison, Safety [...]
While Ben Roethlisberger is probable for the game against the Colts tomorrow, another player that is 50/50 for the game is outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley. He suffered a calf injury before the Giants game two weeks ago. “I really can’t say if it’s worse or if it’s better. I have two days. I [...]
With a defense that put the hurt on the Washington Redskins all night long, and a backup QB that came in and sparked a 13-point second half, the Pittsburgh Steelers scored a most impressive road win, topping the Redskins 23-6 Monday night at FedEx Field. The Steelers trailed four minutes in 6-0 after two [...]
So the Steelers won the game Monday night against a tough Ravens team, but they also lost something as well. Players. The game was a defensive struggle, as expected, but our defense won out.
