Steelers’ Defensive Line Musical Chairs Will Be One Preseason Story To Watch
The Steelers have Cam Heyward and Derrick Harmon bookending their defensive line, but where do Yahya Black and Keeanu Benton fit? Well, that’s what the preseason is for, to figure out questions precisely like that. While Benton has been a starter for three years, the coaches have an obligation to field the best team. Thus […]
Todd Monken Takes Blame For Response To Browns’ ‘S—– Football’, Says He Was ‘Emotionally Hijacked’
Browns HC Todd Monken was disgusted by how the Browns ended practice on offense Monday. A day later, he took ownership—of some of it. As a first-year head coach, he considered it a learning moment for himself as much as anybody. And as the unit continued to rack up demerits, he refused to pivot and […]
Who Has Best Chance Of Raising Their Stock In Steelers’ Preseason Debut?
Who has the best chance of raising their stock in the Steelers’ preseason opener? In under 36 hours, the Steelers will be playing an actual football game.

Comparing And Contrasting A Mike McCarthy And Mike Tomlin Training Camp Practice
The Pittsburgh Steelers are in a new era. Mike McCarthy is leading this team, not Mike Tomlin. Still, after 19 years, the Steelers have already changed plenty, so it would be foolish not to examine and note the differences. If New Coke can be compared to the classic, we can do the same for head […]

Batch Believes Will Howard Is ‘The Odd Man Out’ In Steelers’ QB Battle
The Pittsburgh Steelers are hours away from their preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday.

For much of the offseason, Will Howard […]
Steelers Keeping Four Quarterbacks Would Be ‘Dumb Team Building’, Chris Simms Says
This offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Drew Allar in the third round, while also waiting for Aaron Rodgers to come back.

Aaron Rodgers Raves About Young Receiver Brandon Smith: ‘Really Proud Of Him’
DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. dealing with training camp injuries is a big blow to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ wide receiver room. But it’s also opening up plenty of opportunities for others.

‘Got Stuck In That Role:’ Minkah Fitzpatrick Shares Biggest Regret From Steelers Tenure
Minkah Fitzpatrick had one of the best starts to his Steelers tenure of any defensive back in franchise history. After being acquired via trade from the Miami Dolphins in 2019, Fitzpatrick picked off five passes en route to being named a first-team All-Pro. That sort of ball production continued, with Fitzpatrick picking off 18 passes […]

‘Super Detailed:’ Patrick Queen Thinks New Coaching Staff Will End Communication Aggravation
Patrick Queen might be the biggest beneficiary professionally – and the happiest, personally – to see the Pittsburgh Steelers usher in an almost entirely new coaching staff. Barely able to hide his frustration at points last year, Queen made not-so-subtle comments that this new group of coaches is far more buttoned-up than the previous staff […]
Drew Allar Lays Out Expectations For His 2026 Season
The past couple years have been a wild ride for Drew Allar. Once considered a first-round talent, Allar’s Penn State career ended with an injury and he dropped to the third round before the Pittsburgh Steelers swooped him up in April. In the grand scheme of things, Allar isn’t in a bad spot. Stuck down […]
Nick Herbig Names His Four Toughest Running Backs To Tackle
Nick Herbig is paid for his pass rush, but he isn’t afraid to stop the run.

I mean, I never […]
‘I’m Just Amazed:’ Rico Dowdle Says Aaron Rodgers Is Always Right When Giving Instructions
New Steelers RB Rico Dowdle is familiar with his new head coach in Pittsburgh. After all, Dowdle spent time with head coach Mike McCarthy while playing for the Dallas Cowboys.

‘Playing To Make Plays:’ Payton Wilson Taking More Aggressive Approach This Year
This season will be an important one for LB Payton Wilson, and if the Pittsburgh Steelers defense has a big year, he figures to be a major part of it. A productive third season will also likely mean Wilson cashes in with a contract extension, but that is far from guaranteed since he was not […]
‘He’s Teaching Me A Lot:’ Germie Bernard Learning Plenty From Aaron Rodgers
Without DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. in the picture during training camp practices in recent days due to ailments, those absences have opened up plenty of opportunities for young receivers to step up. One receiver doing that appears to be rookie Germie Bernard. Though veteran starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Tuesday that Bernard must […]
T.J. Watt Highlights One Area Patrick Graham’s Defense Is ‘Really Good’
T.J. Watt has already spoken highly of new Steelers defensive coordinator Patrick Graham and the way he’s implemented the scheme. That continued during Watt’s appearance on Deebo & Joe.

‘Almost Reminds Me Of Prime Hamp’: Beat Writer Gives Lofty Comparison For Yahya Black
With great power comes great responsibility. The famous Stan Lee quote was about fictional superheroes, which is almost an apt description for hulking Pittsburgh Steelers DT Yahya Black — and the lofty comparison he was just given to a former Pittsburgh great. “He’s a big man, he’s hard to move,” Mark Kaboly said of Black […]

Aaron Rodgers Says Germie Bernard Has ‘Bright Future’ But Still Has Work To Do
