The Official Steelers Training Camp Thread 2026 the new era begins

Mauler

I like that

 

2 interceptions for a former steelers CB!

 

It looked like it could be a hamstring he was running on special teams then pulled up, that sucks he's one of the players I wanted to watch in preseason.

 

Hope he gets a paycheck with the price of gas he won't be able to drive back to WV to use their therapy rooms free of charge.

 

There is a change with new coaches and MM. More complexity and detail. It seems this year we can get in the opposing teams offense and defense heads and live rent free. We never really had that before. This year I see a difference. Less limited on both sides of the ball. We have a good team this year and with new coaches MM, Patrick Graham, new OL coach who used to coach in Green Bay, James Campen, in time we are a top ten team in the league, not winning a playoff game this year would be a disappointment, the players we have, our roster, steelers are a playoff team, i honestly think that, I never thought that last several years, I was positive about past teams but this year seems different

 

One of the other things to remember is that for years the Steelers have been getting called for offensive interference because they didn't know how to execute a rub route. Many times they would initiate contact instead of learning to let it happen naturally with the way they run their routes.

The rub on this play was executed perfectly because the rub was naturally built into the design of the play and the way the routes interact with one another causes that natural pick(rub). A little more attention to detail, and a little better design with more nuanced coaching can make a difference in ways that aren't always obvious.

 

Too bad he couldn’t cover anyone

 

nichols looks good again. not much is being talked about this position but i gotta say the kid can play. i know homer is supposed to be a ST's ace but if we are building for the future during this time he would be a guy i'd keep around.

 

If MM is smart he should take full advantage of our RB room, will open
up so MUCH in passing game. OL has to step up, they all now have significant experience. No excuses why this team shouldn't be in top 10 offensively.

 

This team doesn't have any obvious holes at this point (although safety is lean), but it still comes down to the QB and he looked old at the end of the season. And now he is a year older with a rebuilt OL that looked shaky. If AR goes down Rudolph can win games against mediocre defenses. That's probably good enough for a 6th or 7th seed again.

And I'm not buying into the hype on the young QBs. The chances of a Roethlisberger-esque start to their careers is extremely rare.

 

i think the safety spot is in better shape now than a few weeks ago. spears-jennings looked pretty good. with the addition of rayshawn jenkins over savage, i think things are looking up. elliott, brisker, castro. not too bad.

 

It would be nice if Brisker and Elliott could practice.

 

What if the OL struggles?

 

How is me wanting an experienced Qb as a backup make him my boy??

 

Anyone notice that Fields looked exactly the same in KC .

 

what do you mean?....He had only 4 pass attempts and he was 4-4 for 41 yards.Anyway,too early to said that,we need to see in several regular season before to said that.And this is possible it will not happens in KC

 

I don't like Kaleb Johnson chances of making the 53.

 

His lack of production is a bit of a head scratcher for a 3rd round pick. Problem is we never see enough of him to actually see what’s bad about him.

 

It seems like they have put the checkers away.

 

At least give Johnson some reps with the first team to see what he can do, I would rather see him play over Homer he looked terrible against the Packers.
