There might not be a single analyst who studies offensive line play like Brandon Thorn. He released his 2026 rankings and evaluated the Pittsburgh Steelers’ new-look front five.

Pittsburgh’s Next Takeaway Will Be Its First. The Defense Can’t Afford To Wait Any Longer.
It’s the preseason. Many of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive stars didn’t play. Drawing team-wide conclusions from three exhibition games with minimal game planning and a roster full of backups is always dangerous. Still, I can’t help but notice the goose egg Pittsburgh put up in the takeaway department this preseason, a trend that can’t carry […]

Steelers Are The NFL’s Final Team In The Dark Over Which Week One Quarterback They’ll Face
The Pittsburgh Steelers know they’ll be hosting the Atlanta Falcons next Sunday. They still don’t know which quarterback they’ll face.

‘Dry Lemon’: Keyshawn Johnson Sees Very Little ‘Juice’ In Aaron Rodgers

‘Doubled Down On Toxic:’ NFL Execs Pan Browns QB Decision
Even after owner Jimmy Haslam admitted the trade for DeShaun Watson was a failure, the Cleveland Browns are returning to Watson as their 2026 starter. The fanbase isn’t happy about it.

‘On The Highsmith Trajectory’: Vince Williams Thinks Jack Sawyer Could Become ‘Legit Number Two’ This Season
The Pittsburgh Steelers are hoarding wealth at the outside linebacker position. T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith already form one of the better edge-rushing duos in the league when both are healthy.

The 2026 Pittsburgh Steelers look rather deep on paper and have a chance to be a good team in the first year under new head coach Mike McCarthy, especially after GM Omar Khan and assistant GM Andy Weidl addressed a number of roster concerns this offseason.

‘Great Fundamental Linebacker:’ Former Steelers ILB Praises Cole Holcomb
The position on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ roster that is the most cause for concern entering the 2026 season is inside linebacker.
