Willie Colon says that the Steelers like to be under the radar:
Right tackle Willie Colon was asked if he considers tomorrow’s game a five-star matchup. “As a team, we’re not playing five-star ball,” Colon said of the Steelers’ 4-2 start that leaves them tied with Cincinnati for first place in the AFC North. “Last week [...]

Today’s Tribune Review reports that OL Willie Colon is closing in on a payday, either with the Steelers or with someone else as early as the 2010 season:
Entering his contract year, Steelers right tackle Willie Colon can earn a whole lot of money, while also solidifying himself as a keeper for the team that drafted [...]
Two Steelers earned some big-time bonus money in 2008, as both Darnell Stapleton and Willie Colon ranked among the top 25 players in incentive money earned for last season.
Stapleton ranked ninth, as he pulled in an extra $311,220 after starting the final 15 games at right guard for the Steelers due to injury. Colon [...]
Free agency is just hours away, and the team has issued tenders to FB Carey Davis and G Jeremy Parquet. Both players received the exclusive rights players contract tenders.

Last season [...]
And so it begins.
While a lot of the talk in the locker room Sunday after the win was about the Chargers, there sure was quite a bit of talk about the AFC Title game vs the Ravens on Sunday. The Steelers know the mind games that the Ravens will try to draw them into with [...]
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 [...]
The Steelers have stressed how important the play of the offensive line is for them to repeat as AFC North Champs in 2008. If Thursday night in Toronto was any indication, this unit has a long way to go. The game started with Marvel Smith and Willie Colon playing at tackle, Chris Kemoeatu and Kendall [...]
Things got frisky at Steelers practice on Wednesday, as a fight broke out among the team. “Practice broke out into a fight,” Mike Tomlin said in today’s Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “You know, the competition is good, but the level of intensity has to be there if we want to get better. You have to understand professional [...]
With knowing that Alan Faneca is gone, the Steelers Wednesday made a wise move with placing the transition tag on right tackle Max Starks. The tag means that Starks can take offers from other teams once free agency hits at the end of next week, but that the team will have seven days to match [...]
