Posted in Happy with the punting game for the Steelers in 2008? Me neither. Of course with that said, everyone fully expects lefty punter Daniel Sepulveda to be back and ready to go in 2009, but so far, he’s yet to take the field in practice.

There is plenty of blame to go around for yesterday’s 21-14 loss to the Giants. From an O-line that couldn’t pass block, to a defense that played well but gave up some big fourth quarter plays, there was just not enough to bail the Steelers out and walk away with their fourth straight win and [...]

The Steelers needed an insurance policy at QB with the injury to Charlie Batch, and the team moved quickly on Sunday, signing former Jaguars first-round pick and former Falcons QB Byron Leftwich.
