A weekly series I’ll do that captures the forgotten and hidden plays that helped the Pittsburgh Steelers win—or lose. Not the touchdowns, turnovers, or plays that will make the Monday morning highlights—the little ones that, looking back, played a key role in the outcome. I’ll start off with a hidden moment that helped Pittsburgh beat […]
One of the biggest flaws of Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth’s game has been his blocking, but in 2024, it seems as if Freiermuth has turned a corner and become someone the Steelers can count on to block and make plays in the run game. “I’ve struggled in the past but shoutout Artie Smith for […]
File this story away for free agency four years from now. The Pittsburgh Steelers are typically private about their pre-draft rankings. Who they like, who they don’t, and they’re famous for rarely commenting on individual players before each draft. But Mike Tomlin offered up a transparent take to his nickel corner rankings for the 2024 […]
Being a starter as an undrafted rookie puts a target on your back. That target only gets bigger when the team unit you are a starter on is an elite defense. That’s the reality Beanie Bishop Jr. faces as the Steelers’ starting slot cornerback, one he is very aware of. “I understand that I’m an […]
The real Pat Freiermuth doesn’t have to stand-up. We know who he is. He’s been the same guy in 2024 since being drafted in 2021. A sure-handed receiver, gritty after the catch, and a below-average blocker. But the real life Pat Freiermuth is standing up. Literally. Combining all those factors and under new offensive coordinator […]
When the Pittsburgh Steelers signed veteran safety DeShon Elliott to a two-year, $6 million dollar in free agency, it was a move that largely flew under the radar, and rightfully so. Elliott was set to join his fourth team in four years after previously spending time with the Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins. […]
As we do every week to get you ready for the upcoming game, our X-factor of the week. Sometimes it’s a player, unit, concept or scheme. Here’s our Pittsburgh Steelers’ X-factor of the game against the New York Giants. STEELERS VS. GIANTS X FACTOR: STEELERS’ PASS RUSH Over the past two weeks, the Steelers have […]
Breaking down the one sack the Pittsburgh Steelers allowed in their 37-15 win over the New York Jets in Week 7. 2ND AND 20, 4:34 2ND, 13 PERSONNEL, SEVEN BLOCK VS. FOUR-MAN RUSH The Steelers only allowed one sack this week, and it was clearly the fault of OT Broderick Jones. The 2023 first-round pick […]
There were a number of flashy throws made by Russell Wilson in his Pittsburgh Steeler, but one of them looked somewhat routine upon first watch. Going back through the tape, it is very clear that it was Wilson’s best play of the game. Bill Belichick and Peyton Manning agree and showered him with praise for […]
Russell Wilson isn’t the same player he once was, but in his first action with the Pittsburgh Steelers, he didn’t look done yet. Wilson threw for 264 yards and two touchdowns against the New York Jets, with some great deep shots included. However, not everyone loved Wilson’s performance. Former New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms […]In a Pittsburgh Steelers offseason that’s been full of storylines, the latest one involves star edge rusher T.J. Watt. It’s not the first ti...
