Obviously someone has forgotten the Super Bowl, trying to say bring in Kasay and kickoffs don't matter...

So much for our high hopes on Joe Adams salvaging our punt return game. Maybe we figure our defense never forces punts anyway so we don't need a PR guy.


Our special teams should get a huge boost from Jordan Senn going back and from Nakamara and Pilhares, but it still makes me nervous.

I just hate that we did nothing to address our foul secondary. We can't have every TE in the league abuse our safeties, constant broken tackles, and Munnerlyn getting picked on all game. Our front seven should be quite a bit better, but we're just not quite there yet. Maybe next year we'll be ready to compete.

We only have 4 more seasons with Cam signed for nothing before we have to break the bank. That's why wasting so much money on RB's was stupid. We have a short window where we have a huge advantage over other teams, we need to round out our roster now instead of just randomly throwing money around.

8/27/2012 4:21:46 PM

Joe Adams is still on the team

8/27/2012 4:22:58 PM

pretty sure Cam is worth breaking the bank over

and why are you so down on Joe Adams? did the box score of the Texans game not show this?

8/27/2012 4:24:40 PM

oh sorry it was Darvin Adams we cut. I just did a cursory look at the last names of who we cut and saw WR Adams.

Makes more sense now, forgot we had two.

8/27/2012 4:30:09 PM

those damn cursory looks. always getting you into trouble.

8/27/2012 5:59:18 PM

Smitty's foot infection must be serious, we just cut him

oh wait, thats tight end Greg Smith

8/27/2012 6:11:08 PM

8/27/2012 6:22:54 PM

we should pickup vince young as backup... mimics cam's game off the bench and wont have to change the offense up.

of course shoudl wait til he clears waivers and then offer him some $delaware instead of the $texas mario is making

8/27/2012 9:17:42 PM

Mimics cam newton in that he is a black QB, but he sucks complete donkey balls.


I don't understand the foolishness that goes on in some of yall's minds.

8/27/2012 9:27:12 PM

in all fairness he can't be worse than clausen. He has got to be the worst backup QB in the NFL this year.

8/27/2012 9:43:13 PM

if we signed Vince Young, the first thing he'd do was hype up Kalil's ad and talk about us being a dream team

8/27/2012 9:43:32 PM

Clausen won't dress for any games barring injury...Anderson is the true backup, and they're not going to jettison him for Young

Marty Hurney is the worst goddamn GM ...... ever.

8/28/2012 11:36:21 AM

somebody called munnerlyn a good pick???

it would be if he were playing in dime packages, not when he is starting.

8/28/2012 11:54:49 AM

i promise you, there are worse GMs. if you want to argue over how long he should keep his job that's one thing. but as far as the entire league goes, there are only a few GMs who draft well every year. i'm all for having high expectations, but it's not easy to find a Bill Polian/Scott Pioli/Jerry Reese/Kevin Colbert/Ted Thompson.

8/28/2012 12:03:29 PM

considering we got Private Munnerlyn in the 7th round, it wasn't a bad pick

8/28/2012 12:10:14 PM

Making bad picks is one thing, but trading up to make bad picks is just unforgivable. It does seem like Rivera has reigned that in a little, and our 2012 draft class seems pretty decent (could be great if Silatolu pans out). It will take at least another couple years though to fix the depth issues created by those two god awful drafts.

8/28/2012 12:23:27 PM

so no one's watching the shit fest known as preseason game 4? no one? ok, see you guys week 1

8/30/2012 7:37:54 PM

Preseason week 4 sucks

8/30/2012 7:46:54 PM

i'd obviously rather see Cam, etc play, but I'll be interested to see if guys like Armanti can save his job

Murphy with a couple nice catches for first down

[Edited on August 30, 2012 at 7:51 PM. Reason : thought the first one was Pilares, but I'm going off what Mike Morgan said, he's probably wrong]

8/30/2012 7:51:20 PM

Pickles with the TD pass to Darrell Green's kid

also, these refs are extra horrible...I think literally every single kick/punt return has had a holding/block in the back penalty called

8/30/2012 9:00:09 PM

Is there anything more annoying than Steelers fans born in NC?

8/30/2012 9:08:09 PM

UNC fans born anywhere

8/30/2012 9:09:58 PM

Why is the whole team out there, are they putting him down?

8/30/2012 9:22:36 PM

lol Clausen throws a 79-yd TD pass

8/30/2012 9:59:23 PM

Clausen with 2 TD passes tonight

Clausen with 3 TD passes in his entire career

8/30/2012 10:03:43 PM

Fire Medlock

8/30/2012 10:16:00 PM

Medlolck

8/30/2012 10:17:40 PM

Jimmy looked good. Medlock ... c'mon man.

LONG LIVE KASAY

8/30/2012 10:17:57 PM

Yeah, that one jump ball reception for a TD was pretty good.

8/31/2012 8:32:35 AM

everybody shitting on Medlock is dumb

did you guys know the longest field goal ever made at Heinz Field was 52 yards?

and we're getting mad that Medlock missed a 56-yarder?

8/31/2012 11:55:33 AM

Nobody's mad at the 56-yarder. They're probably concerned cause he missed a 50-yarder at the end of the game that would've given us the win. It's about the closest thing to a clutch kick you'll find in preseason, and Medlock missed it. BAD.


[Edited on August 31, 2012 at 12:23 PM. Reason : For the record, I think he'll be fine]

8/31/2012 12:22:08 PM

saw a stat on twitter that NFL kickers are 20% all-time 50+ in heinz field

8/31/2012 12:27:13 PM

what is it about Heinz Field that makes it so difficult to make long FGs? in December in the snow and wind i can understand. but during the warmer months of the season? do they have longer grass or something?

8/31/2012 12:47:17 PM

I thought I heard an announcer talking about how bad the wind is coming in off the water.

8/31/2012 12:48:08 PM

I know one end is wide open but I think the other is bowled off

Most of that stat is probably due to Jeff Reed's bum ass leg

Quote :

"Even the Steelers players themselves thought Heinz Field was the worst among the grass playing surfaces. Using a point system that asked each player to pick the worst three grass playing fields in the NFL (three points for worst, two for second-worst and one for the next worst), the Steelers overwhelmingly voted for their home field as the worst."

Panthers have apparently traded for 49ers S Colin Jones.

Tutu and Green cut...lol we're probably gonna keep Armanti

8/31/2012 5:19:26 PM

Tutu sucks and I have no idea who Green is

Cut them all and sign Ochocinco to sit on the bench and headbutt our lesbian cheerleaders

8/31/2012 5:23:34 PM

Green is Darrell Green's son, he caught a touchdown last night

he ran a 4.3 40, i hope we keep him on the practice squad

8/31/2012 5:33:40 PM

over/under how many more times TT10 mentions that Green is Darrell Green's son

8/31/2012 5:39:47 PM

how many more times? 0.5

Joe Person kept raving about him in camp

Interesting that they cut Green (Darrell Green's son) with his high speed and ability to catch Jimmy Clawlson touchdown passes

Jared Green has been signed to the practice squad
