Former OC Todd Haley Details How He’d Split Steelers Backfield Snaps
It might be a good problem to have, but Mike McCarthy will need to determine how to divvy up the backfield snap count after RB Rico Dowdle returns from injury. RB Jaylen Warren has dominated in his absence, and McCarthy noted Monday Warren will remain the team’s “feature back.” Still, Dowdle figures to see some […]
Vince Williams Optimistic About One Part Of Steelers’ Secondary
When the Pittsburgh Steelers signed veteran S Jaquan Brisker in free agency, they envisioned a three-safety package, leaning into Jalen Ramsey and DeShon Elliott’s versatility. As Elliott moves closer to returning after spending the first few weeks on Injured Reserve, the Steelers’ safeties could become a major strength. At least, that’s what former Steelers LB […]
Jaylen Warren ‘Could Win Offensive Player Of The Year,’ Thinks Russell Wilson
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense has finally found its footing in recent weeks, and that’s mostly due to RB Jaylen Warren. He’s been incredible this season, especially recently. Warren had 15 carries for 101 yards, six catches for 87 yards, and two touchdowns last week against the Indianapolis Colts, powering the Steelers to a win. Because […]
‘Gonna Have A Chip On His Shoulder’: Vince Williams Expects Rico Dowdle To Be Extra Motivated When Healthy
Jaylen Warren has provided the Pittsburgh Steelers with a huge spark in recent weeks. He’s been their best player, helping their offense finally find some rhythm. Warren is third in the league in yards from scrimmage with 640. However, he didn’t enter this season as the Steelers’ lead running back. He was supposed to split […]
Beat Writer Floats Trade Theory To Explain Steelers Signing Elandon Roberts
The Pittsburgh Steelers finally brought Elandon Roberts back, signing the veteran linebacker to their practice squad. The timing is peculiar, though. Pittsburgh’s inside linebackers are healthy, so why bring him in now? Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo has a theory involving Patrick Queen that could significantly shake up the Steelers’ defense. “It probably is an insurance […]
If Steelers Want To Add Receiver Help, Here’s One Option Who Fits
The Pittsburgh Steelers are hurting at wide receiver. Michael Pittman Jr. landed on injured reserve Saturday and Roman Wilson and Ben Skowronek were knocked out of Sunday’s game. None of the three will play this Sunday and potentially beyond. It leaves the team with DK Metcalf, Germie Bernard, and rookie Kaden Wetjen as the only […]
‘Allows Everyone To Feel A Lot More Confident:’ Cam Heyward A Fan Of Patrick Graham Moving To Sideline
After two straight weeks where the Pittsburgh Steelers defense struggled, defensive coordinator Patrick Graham moved to the sideline from the coaches’ box to call plays. It’s a change that DL Cam Heyward is a fan of, as he told Rich Eisen on today’s episode of The Rich Eisen Show. “I like our coordinator to be […]
‘He Is A Star’: Willie Colon Wants Steelers Rookie WR Germie Bernard To Be Offensive ‘Focus’
On a day in which the Pittsburgh Steelers entered their Week 5 game against the Indianapolis Colts shorthanded at wide receiver with Michael Pittman Jr. on injured reserve, and then losing Ben Skowronek and Roman Wilson to injuries, Germie Bernard stepped up in a major way. The rookie second-round pick hauled in six passes on […]
‘He’s Going To Get Better’: Former Steelers OT Explains Why Troy Fautanu Has Been Struggling
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense had an uncommon explosion in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts. It put up 34 points and 352 total yards, leading the Steelers to victory. One of the biggest reasons why that unit has improved is that the offensive line is playing better. Aaron Rodgers was only sacked once against the […]
‘Definitely Gonna Get An Offer’: Beat Writer Talks Payton Wilson Contract Extension Odds
The Pittsburgh Steelers had plenty of contract extension storylines last offseason with four that were given out, including three to members of their 2023 draft class. Next offseason, Pittsburgh is going to have to go through a similar cycle with the members of its 2024 rookie class. including Payton Wilson. Beat writer Mark Kaboly thinks […]
Pat Freiermuth Reveals How He Became Tush Push QB – And What He Didn’t Tell His Coach
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth has been much more involved in the offensive game plan this year, and that includes a new role as the team’s quarterback in the tush push. Freiermuth has taken three snaps under center this year and converted a first down on all of them, but it’s certainly not a role […]
Where Do Steelers Stand In Week 6 Power Rankings?
Isn’t it funny what a big home win can do for you in the NFL? After having to sit and hear all the talk about the issues with the team on both sides of the football following a frustrating Week 4 Thursday Night Football loss to the Cleveland Browns, a loss that dropped the Steelers […]
Film Room: This Kaden Wetjen Rep Concerns Me
Kaden Wetjen thinks the Pittsburgh Steelers’ kick return game is close. On tape, it still looks like the unit is miles away. That’s for a variety of issues, and Wetjen himself is one of them. He might’ve had his worse return of the season Sunday against the Colts. After one of Indianapolis’ five field goals, […]
Officiating Crew At Center Of Week 5’s Biggest Call To Work Steelers-Bucs In Week 6
Land Clark will be the referee for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 6 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium, and that assignment comes after Clark and his crew worked the Seattle Seahawks-San Francisco 49ers game in Week 5. That game ended in controversy with WR Cooper Kupp ruled short of the first […]
‘Not Normal For A Rookie’: Steelers’ Everette, Spears-Jennings Earning Veterans’ Respect
For now, the Steelers have two rookie defensive starters in Daylen Everette and Robert Spears-Jennings, and for good reason. While their positions are temporary due to injury, their teammates and coaches are comfortable with their roles. That’s largely because they don’t look or act like rookies, according to their fellow defenders. “I think he’s playing […]
‘Max Is Out There Playing Some Ball:’ Former Steelers Lineman ‘So Impressed’ With Rookie Iheanachor
His performance on a short week in his first primetime game was a rough one for Pittsburgh Steelers rookie right tackle Max Iheanachor. But that made his bounce back against the Indianapolis Colts that much sweeter. After allowing six pressures and two sacks in the Week 4 loss to the Cleveland Browns, Iheanachor pitched a […]
Jaquan Brisker Lists Three Plays He’s ‘Sick’ About Missing Against Colts
Big plays bring an immediate rush, but the plays left on the field often stick with players the longest. For Pittsburgh Steelers S Jaquan Brisker, what he left on the field in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts could stick with him for a long time. In the middle of a contract year, Brisker immediately […]

‘Can’t Have Enough People Like That’: Mike McCarthy Explains Elandon Roberts Reunion
Elandon Roberts is back in Pittsburgh, albeit on the Steelers’ practice squad. HC Mike McCarthy explained why they chose to reunite. While he said nothing about playing time being imminent, it certainly sounds like, under different conditions, they would have carried him on the 53-man roster. Of course, many would argue that they should have, […]
Payton Wilson Explains What Makes Jaylen Warren So Difficult To Tackle
Jaylen Warren didn’t enter the NFL with elite size or speed, which contributed to him going undrafted in 2022. What makes him special isn’t as easy to measure, but it’s certainly felt by everyone who tries to tackle him. Good luck getting Warren on the ground. The NFL’s leader in yards after the catch isn’t […]

I’ll start with a hidden moment that helped the Pittsburgh Steelers […]
Patrick Graham Reveals His Favorite Play Daylen Everette Made Against Colts
Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Daylen Everette broke up passes, contested others downfield, and wasn’t responsible for the big plays the Indianapolis Colts’ offense generated. Defensive coordinator Patrick Graham appreciates all of that, but it’s not at the top of his list of favorite plays from Everette. His selection is a lot less noticeable to the outside […]
Pat Freiermuth Shares Ben Roethlisberger’s Message That Shaped His Leadership
The Pittsburgh Steelers are in a significant transition period following the end of the Mike Tomlin era. It’s an aging roster, one that needs new leaders to emerge.
