Bad weather loomed overhead at St. Vincent for much of the afternoon, before finally halting practice with drenching rains and a 30 minute thunderstorm. Once the thunder and lightning passed, practice resumed on the artificial turf of field #4. Continue reading
Yesterday, there was concern and uncertainty over the possibility of Marcus Gilbert being injured. No real answers were given after he appeared to be hurt at the end of the conditioning test, and was subsequently carted off the field and attended to by staff. Well, today Continue reading

Coach Tomlin addressed the media in Latrobe today, and announced that the following players would start training camp on the PUP list: Heath Miller, Sean Spence, David Johnson, and Alameda Ta’amu. Heath Miller and Sean Spence come as no surprise obviously, but David Johnson and Alameda Ta’amu Continue reading
Brett Keisel arrived to training camp ready to “construct a championship team”. Last year, Da Beard made his famed entrance on a Kubota tractor. Continue reading
Dwyer was under a lot of criticism this spring for appearing to be overweight at OTA’s. Not helping that perception, Isaac Redman was looking to be in the best shape of his career. It goes without saying that during an offseason when the team spends a second round pick on a back like Le’veon Bell, you want to show up looking hungry and indispensable if you’re a Restricted Free Agent.

Sorry for the downtime this afternoon. As you can see, the home page has been changed. This was long overdue as I’m sure many of you will agree. Due to some unexpected obstacles today, there will be a little minor work in progress needed aesthetically to finish the main page. The forum is exactly the way it was earlier today. The only updates made there were under the hood, so everything will appear as it usually does. Thanks for being patient.

The presser started with a quick review of Sunday’s performance. Coach T said it was a failure and still looked that way yesterday on tape. ‘Very rarely do you lose a game and just be able to so clearly point to a few areas of failure being the reason why you lost.’ Tomlin said there were two main reasons for the failure: turning the ball over and being highly penalized on offense.

I am surprised it was that close given the turnover situation. We are not looking for comfort. We understand that we are not going to have much support after a performance like that. We probably deserve that. We have to go back to work and get back to playing fundamental football. We were highly penalized; we turned the ball over. When you do those things you are going to lose. I don’t care who’s playing quarterback.” Continue reading
