‘True Pro’ Rayshawn Jenkins Giving Steelers Safety In Numbers
Rayshawn Jenkins showed his value in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Friday night preseason loss to the New York Jets. It’s usually not ideal when a team adds a 32-year-old free agent journeyman during training camp, but Jenkins, a hard-hitting safety, has proven to be a revelation in his limited sample size. Every team wants to find […]

Falcons’ Starting QB Situation Just Got More Interesting Ahead Of Steelers Opener
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ regular season opener against the Atlanta Falcons just got more interesting. Former first-round QB Michael Penix Jr., who is coming off a serious knee injury, will begin practicing in full on Monday, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. “Mike is cleared,” Stefanski said. “He’s cleared for 11-on-11. He’ll practice Monday in team […]

Season 17, Episode 12 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Saturday afternoon, Ross McCorkle sits in for Alex Kozora and we start by talking generally about the Pittsburgh Steelers’ preseason loss to the New York Jets Friday night. Ross and I go over the long list of players who sat […]
Patrick Graham Explains Why He Calls Game From Coaches Box
In a change from the prior regime, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Patrick Graham calls the plays from the coaches box rather than sideline. Under Mike Tomlin, Teryl Austin called the game from the sideline, but Graham is working from the box. During his media availability on Saturday, he explained why. “One, it makes it easy […]
Arthur Moats Thinks Will Howard Is ‘Now The Odd Man Out’ At QB After Second Preseason Game
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ young quarterbacks were destined to be the talk of the town during the preseason. Aaron Rodgers’ final NFL season and the lack of an obvious heir put the spotlight on Will Howard and Drew Allar. Next to the attention they attract, the biggest trait young quarterbacks often share is inconsistency. After Howard […]
Steelers OC: Broderick Jones ‘Trying To Find His Groove’ But ‘Getting More And More Comfortable’
It’s rare to see a recent first-round pick play as much as Broderick Jones has this preseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jones played 54 offensive snaps in Friday’s 17-0 loss to the New York Jets, more than any other offensive player. As Jones works his way back into playing shape following last season’s neck injury […]
‘Bad Job By Me’: Patrick Graham Takes Blame For Defense’s Opening Drive Against Jets
Not every defensive starter suited up Thursday night against the New York Jets, but enough of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first-team defense was on the field that allowing a 10-play, 69-yard touchdown drive against New York’s starting offense was difficult to justify. DC Patrick Graham took the blame for the group’s early struggles. “Bad job by […]
‘It’s Everybody:’ Steelers’ OC Brian Angelichio Says Offensive Execution As A Whole To Blame For Interceptions
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Will Howard ended two drives with third-down interceptions in opposing territory in the Steelers’ 17-0 loss to the New York Jets in their second preseason game. While Howard threw the picks, Steelers’ offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio blamed the offense as a whole for not executing in a press conference on Saturday. “Overall, […]
Film Room: Robert Spears-Jennings Shows Why He Should Make Steelers’ Roster
With roster cutdowns less than a week away, Thursday’s preseason game represented one of the final opportunities for players on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ bubble to make their case. Seventh-round rookie Robert Spears-Jennings did everything he could to make sure he wasn’t overlooked. The rookie has benefitted from a rash of injuries in the safety room […]
Preseason Week 2 PFF Grades: Defense Leads The Way As Offense Struggles
Earlier this week, Pittsburgh Steelers safety DeShon Elliott announced his thoughts on Pro Football Focus to the world on Cam Heyward’s Not Just Football podcast. After the Steelers’ second preseason game, a 17-0 loss against the New York Jets, I wonder if he’s softened his stance. Elliott was the highest-graded Steelers player, earning a 93.6 […]
McCorkle: Roman Wilson May Have Reopened A Competition Everyone Thought Was Over
Roman Wilson appeared to run away with one of the Steelers’ three starting WR jobs during training camp. But after two preseason games, don’t be so sure his competition with Germie Bernard is over. Wilson consistently received more first-team snaps than Bernard when Michael Pittman and DK Metcalf were healthy. Yet we’ve seen this story […]
Film Room: A Deeper Look At Will Howard’s Two Interceptions
Will Howard led two promising drives Friday night against the New York Jets. Both ended in costly interceptions. There’s little that hurts more than third down turnovers while either in scoring range or on the cusp of it, and Howard’s picks came in those high-leverage moments. How much should he be blamed? Let’s break it […]
Elandon Roberts: Patrick Graham’s Defense ‘Totally Different’ Compared To Last Year With Raiders
Mike Tomlin leaving the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason led to a lot of change, including to their defensive scheme. Tomlin had his fingerprints all over that unit. Now, new Steelers defensive coordinator Patrick Graham is in charge of that group. Elandon Roberts played on Graham’s defense last year with the Las Vegas Raiders, and he […]
Mike McCarthy Dodges Question Of Drew Allar Playing Earlier Snaps
Drew Allar went 11-for-23 for 110 yards in his second preseason game, once again playing late. What about seeing earlier reps? When a reporter asked HC Mike McCarthy about that, he seemed to sidestep the question. So far, he has only played in the second half, and only one game remains. “Would it be able […]
Willie Colon Happy With ‘Composure’ Will Howard Showed In Loss To Jets
A week ago, Will Howard looked great while making his preseason debut for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Howard got the start Friday night against the New York Jets, but unfortunately, this performance wasn’t as impressive. The Steelers were bad in many offensive areas on Friday, but Howard’s two interceptions marred his performance. Even so, former Steeler […]
Three Steelers Roster Battles Tightening After Second Preseason Game
After last night’s 17-0 loss by the Steelers, three roster battles are tightening in one direction or another. Well, more than three, I’m sure, but there are three that I want to highlight. With the display from the quarterbacks, running backs and safeties, I believe we have moved the needle at those positions. Quarterback We […]
Could Last Night’s Performance Push Will Howard Outside Roster Bubble?
Could last night’s performance push Will Howard outside the roster bubble? After throwing two interceptions against the Jets and failing to score, where does Will Howard stand with the Steelers? It appears the other three quarterbacks are safe, after all, so what is left for Howard? Aaron Rodgers is the starter, Mike McCarthy has “seen […]
‘Lot Of Emotions’: DeShon Elliott Details ‘Rusty’ Return In First Game Back From Serious Injury
He’s an 8-year NFL veteran, but his first snaps Friday night in the Steelers’ second preseason game led to some jitters for safety DeShon Elliott. Making his return to game action for the first time since a season-ending injury last year in Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers, Elliott admitted he had some nerves […]
Watch: Steelers Vs Jets Recap And Analysis
Bringing you guys another video today. Here, we’re breaking down the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 17-0 loss to the New York Jets Friday night. We detail the increased struggles the offense had under quarterbacks Will Howard and Drew Allar, the costly turnovers, and the lack of support both received. We also highlight the ups and downs for […]
‘I Can Do Better’: Kaleb Johnson Believes ‘Sky Is The Limit’ For Himself, Despite Pedestrian Preseason Outing
Kaleb Johnson’s NFL career hasn’t gotten off to a promising start. The Pittsburgh Steelers selected him in the third round last year, but an awful mistake on a kickoff return in Week 2 loomed large in a loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Johnson has struggled to bounce back since then. This year didn’t start well […]
Positional Grades: Steelers Vs. Jets
Well, that sure was a preseason game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Jets. After a fast start by the Jets, who marched down the field in 10 plays and capped a 69-yard scoring drive with a Geno Smith touchdown pass to tight end Jelani Woods, not much happened the rest of the game. […]
‘Felt I Played Well’: Carson Bruener Happy With Strong Performance Against Jets
Viewed as primarily a special teams piece, Pittsburgh Steelers second-year inside linebacker Carson Bruener showed Friday night against the New York Jets at Acrisure Stadium that he can be a reliable defensive piece, too. In just nine defensive snaps in the second preseason game, Bruener finished with two tackles, one sack and one pass breakup, […]
Elandon Roberts Shares His Unique Approach To Friday’s Preseason Game
The second half of preseason games are typically meant for younger players — those fighting for reps and a place on the team, even if it’s a practice squad spot. A 32-year-old Elandon Roberts doesn’t fit in that camp. But there he was on the field deep into Friday night’s loss to the New York […]
Drew Allar Thinks Two Areas Of His Game Are Improving
After a rousing victory to open the preseason a week ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers couldn’t keep that momentum rolling against the New York Jets on Friday night. Drew Allar was a part of that momentum shift, with a quiet game from a statistical standpoint after leading three scoring drives last week. However, Allar does see […]
