Flozell “The Hotel” is in the house

Pittsburgh signed Flozell Adams to a 2 year contract today.  I’m a big fan of this move; Flozell will make a solid RT and is an immediate upgrade over everyone else on the roster than were in contention for that starting RT spot.  No need to re-invent the wheel……we posted the following a few weeks ago [...]

Most Overrated/Underrated storylines heading into Steeler training camp

Overrated:  stories getting too much hype, too much attention, too much worry……vs…..Underrated:  stories getting too little coverage, too little attention.

Overrated Storyline 1:  Not having Ben Roethlisberger for the first 4 games of the season is going to doom this team.  How could playing 25% of the regular season without your starting QB be an overrated storyline? [...]

NFL has been warned: Lawrence Timmons got his abs back

Steeler LB Lawrence Timmons (timmons94.com) blogs about training camp:

July 28, 2010

I did a lot of great things in the off-season. It hasn’t all been fun, though. I’ve been working out hard. I’m up to 248 pounds right now, no fat. I’ve got my abs back.

I threw out the first pitch [...]

So much for Flozell Adams…Steelers sign Adrian Jones

Jones was cut by Houston during training camp last year and went the entire season without joining another team.  The last time he stepped foot onto an NFL field was in 2008 where he started 10 games for the Kansas City Chiefs.  The signing of Adrian Jones is seen as as a replacement for Willie Colon [...]

Steelers Madden 2011 individual ratings

*No Antonio Brown.

*McHugh is rated higher than Matt Spaeth?

*Randle El rated one point higher than Battle?

*Apparently EA Sports thinks Mendenhall is an injury waiting to happen.

*Wow, Leftwich + Batch + Dixon = no respect.  Lefty really gets dumped on unnecessarily.

*I expected the OL to get lower overall ratings.

*Nice to see they respect Kemoeatu’s strength.

*Gibson is rated [...]

Look past the record to find team strength

I rarely look at the final score to determine the strength of a football team. I prefer to use statistics that reveal much more, such as Yards Per Play and Yards per passing attempt.

Steelers have a 9-18 record since 1992 when they gain 300 or more Net passing yards in a game.

Steelers are 60-11 since [...]

Flozell Adams to sign with Pittsburgh?

Just when it looked like the Steelers OL was going to turn the corner, insert a new starter, and gel as a unit, injuries strike.  Willie Colon going down is a big blow to the Steelers Offensive Line but at least the organization has plenty of time to find a replacement.  Former Cowboy Flozell Adams visited [...]

Willie Colon possibly out for the season

Apparently Steeler OT Willie Colon injured an Achilles today during practice and is currently undergoing an MRI. Early word is that we should be prepared to hear that he’ll miss the entire year. Yikes!

If the news is true and indeed Colon is gone for the year, it’s yet another setback for a team headed towards a [...]
