Mason Rudolph Is Rooting For Pittsburgh’s Young Quarterbacks. He’s Also A Little Jealous.
If Mason Rudolph could go back in time and have the same coaching and structure Will Howard and Drew Allar are enjoying now, maybe Rudolph would’ve lived up to the Pittsburgh Steelers hype of being Ben Roethlisberger’s heir apparent. With most summer attention on the play of the Steelers’ young quarterbacks, a veteran like Rudolph […]
‘Wanna See Him Take A Step’: McCarthy Vows To Give Eli Heidenreich ‘More Opportunities’ Against New York

‘Definitely Slowing Down:’ Drew Allar Feeling ‘Confident’ Running Steelers’ Offense

Better And Deeper: DeShon Elliott Likes Look Of Steelers’ New Secondary
When DeShon Elliott returns to the field in Week 1, he’ll be a welcome addition to a secondary that clearly missed him in the last half of 2025.

‘He’ll Play’: Mike McCarthy Addresses Kaleb Johnson’s Limited Snaps In Preseason Opener
Lost amid an exciting debut from the Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie class and strong quarterback play from all three of their options was second-year RB Kaleb Johnson’s curious lack of involvement.

NBC Structured Mike Tomlin’s Contract To Compel Him To Stay With Network
NBC is hoping Mike Tomlin’s broadcasting career lasts more than a single season. The network apparently structured his contract in the hopes of incentivizing him to stay. Per Andrew Marchand, the No. 1 expert on everything sports media-related, Tomlin’s contract with the network is “backloaded.” “NBC snares him. Big-money deal. I think a little backloaded,” […]
Former NFL GM Urges Steelers To Keep Howard, Allar Over Rudolph
While keeping four quarterbacks remains a possibility, it would be uncharted territory for Mike McCarthy and a rarity for the Steelers. Pittsburgh hasn’t carried four quarterbacks since the 1990s, when Kordell Stewart’s unique role as both a quarterback and receiver helped make it possible. If they keep just three, one former NFL GM feels strongly […]

‘They Don’t Know Football:’ DeShon Elliott Slams PFF
Pittsburgh Steelers S DeShon Elliott is not a fan of Pro Football Focus. The player-grading outlet has drawn the ire of Steelers past and present, and on Cam Heyward’s Not Just Football podcast, Elliott was the latest to take a shot at the company. “Fuck PFF. They don’t know football, bro. We talking about real […]
Mark Kaboly Deflates Gabriel Rubio Hype: ‘Nobody’s Gonna Be Knocking Down His Door’
Despite the recent enthusiasm for Steelers rookie DL Gabriel Rubio, Mark Kaboly isn’t buying that he’ll make the 53-man roster.

Film Room: […]
DeShon Elliott Has ‘Respect’ For Mike McCarthy Doing Away With Tackling In Practice
One storyline that stood out above most during Pittsburgh Steelers training camp was the lack of live tackling.

Player: WR Kaden Wetjen Stock Value: Up Reasoning: Probably the Steelers’ most maligned draft pick, Kaden Wetjen won himself some support in their first preseason game.

Frustrated Todd Monken Once Again Ends Browns Practice Early After Undisciplined Display
Former Steelers WR JuJu Smith-Schuster once said the Browns is the Browns, and under HC Todd Monken, that’s still true.

Does Broderick Jones have a chance to start if Dylan Cook struggles? With Max Iheanachor still not practicing, and Dylan Cook having some issues, does Broderick Jones have a chance to start?
