Analyst Thinks Steelers Could Have ‘Top-Five Type Of Defense’ Under Patrick Graham
For a few years, many have been frustrated with the highly paid Pittsburgh Steelers defense’s lack of production. This offseason, many of those same people got the change they wanted with Patrick Graham taking over the unit. It’s only been one game, but Graham’s defense certainly looked strong against Atlanta last week. Analyst Gregg Rosenthal […]
Teammates Remain Supportive Of Joey Porter Jr.
Even with the door to contract negotiations now closed, the Joey Porter Jr. saga continues. As does the support from his Pittsburgh Steelers teammates. “Whatever he’s doing. Whether it’s injury, whether it’s contract, I respect it,” linebacker Patrick Queen told reporters Thursday after practice via The Trib’s Chris Adamski. “I’m behind him 100 percent. I […]
Watch: The Depot Dive (Episode 115)
September 17 – Ep. 115: For this episode of The Depot Dive, Joe Clark and I discuss the Steelers’ Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons. We talk about the defensive brilliance and the offensive sloppiness and one major silver lining for the offense moving forward. Next, we talk about the latest developments with Joey […]
Chris Hoke Offers Diagnosis Of Steelers’ Run-Game Issues
Perhaps when you picture Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy’s offense at its peak, you see QB Aaron Rodgers slinging the ball to players like WR Jordy Nelson or WR Randall Cobb. After all, Rodgers threw for over 4,000 yards seven times under McCarthy (if you’re counting the 2018 season when McCarthy was fired after […]
Ask Alex: Steelers Mailbag
Welcome back to your weekly Pittsburgh Steelers mailbag. As always, we’re here for the next hour to answer whatever is on your mind. To your questions! Framebar: Hi Alex! I’ve been underwhelmed with YA at NG so far including preseason. He seems to lack explosiveness and arm extension. Do you think the coaching staff will go […]
Patriots Will Get Back Key Backfield Piece Against Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers faced an Atlanta team that was missing a few key players in Week 1. In Week 2, the Steelers will face a New England Patriots team that’s starting to return to health. Running back TreVeyon Henderson, who burst onto the scene last season as a rookie, said Thursday that he will play […]
‘Looks Like Tomlin Is Still There’: Andrew Whitworth ‘Out’ On Steelers After Week 1
While it wasn’t pretty, the Pittsburgh Steelers started this season 1-0 after beating the Atlanta Falcons. The Steelers’ offense wasn’t as impressive as many people were hoping it would be, but the defense carried Pittsburgh to a 20-13 win. Despite the Steelers winning that game, former NFL offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth got a case of […]
‘He’s Always Open’: Chris Hoke Is Buying All The Pat Freiermuth Stock
Expectations were high for Pat Freiermuth in his first season with Aaron Rodgers. He was on the heels of a recent contract extension, playing with a Hall of Fame quarterback, and was in an offense without a strong WR2 candidate under Arthur Smith, who loves to utilize his tight ends. But Freiermuth never had a […]
‘Could Really Spank Pittsburgh’: Analysts Believe Things Might Get ‘Dark In A Hurry’ For Steelers Against Patriots
The Pittsburgh Steelers are on the road this week against the New England Patriots. The Steelers don’t have a great track record playing in New England, but they traveled there early last season and left with a 21-14 win. Perhaps they can repeat that performance this year. However, analyst Dan Hanzus doubts that this year’s […]
‘Roman’s Gonna Have To Mess Up Pretty Significantly’: Kaboly On Germie Bernard’s Path To Playing Time
The Pittsburgh Steelers traded up to pick WR Germie Bernard in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, but they don’t appear to be in any hurry to get him on the field. The rookie played just three offensive snaps in Week 1. When compared to Roman Wilson’s 37, the WR3 picture couldn’t be […]
Mike McCarthy Downplays Change In Joey Porter Jr.’s Injury Designation
On the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first practice report of Week 2, Joey Porter Jr.’s injury designation changed from a back injury to non-injury related/conditioning. That Wednesday development immediately raised questions about what it could mean moving forward for Porter and the team given their ongoing contract standoff. Mike McCarthy said not to read anything into it […]
‘Got Horses Eveywhere:’ Brian Baldinger Shares What He Texted Andy Weidl After Sunday’s Game
The Pittsburgh Steelers shut down the Atlanta Falcons’ offense in Week 1 for the most part. They held star RB Bijan Robinson largely in check, limiting him to 83 yards rushing on 23 carries. He did do damage in the passing game, catching eight passes for 90 yards and a touchdown, though. However, the defense […]
Longtime Steelers Fan Stephen A. Smith Isn’t Happy With What He Sees
The Pittsburgh Steelers have a new coaching staff, but longtime fan Stephen A. Smith sees the same old same old. Fretting over an offense that looked no better under Mike McCarthy in Week 1 than it did Mike Tomlin, Smith expressed his angst Thursday on First Take. “As a Steelers fan, I have an obligation […]
Thursday Is Important Day For Max Iheanachor, Says Mike McCarthy
After making his NFL debut in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons, playing one snap due to injury, Pittsburgh Steelers rookie first-round pick Max Iheanachor at least has the first-snap nerves out of the way. Now, with left tackle Troy Fautanu expected to be limited in practice Thursday with an ankle injury after not practicing […]
Rookie Report Card: Steelers Vs. Falcons (Week 1)
Seven Pittsburgh Steelers rookies made their regular-season debut while the remaining four were inactive. Of those seven players, only Riley Nowakowski, Germie Bernard, and Eli Heidenreich played three or more snaps on offense or defense. There was a very clear goal of limiting their exposure early while they all get their feet wet on special […]
Drops Hurt The Steelers More Than Any Other Team. The Numbers Prove It.
Aaron Rodgers says the Pittsburgh Steelers wouldn’t be facing so many questions offensively had a couple more plays gone their way. The numbers show that’s true. A new study shared by the Twitter/X account @sfdata9ers reveals the Steelers’ two drops in last Sunday’s opener against the Atlanta Falcons cost them more points than any other […]
Study: Highlighting Two Standouts Among Pittsburgh’s Run Defense
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense had plenty of encouraging moments in their opening win of the 2026 season. One element I wanted to provide data and props on was some individual performances in run defense against a quality ground game. First, here is a visual of the top five PFF grades in run defense at cornerback […]
Daniel Jeremiah Sends Simple But Clear Message To Steelers’ Offense
After just one week of NFL action, opinions are formulating strongly one way or the other regarding all 32 teams. That tends to happen with Week 1 overreactions. With the Pittsburgh Steelers, despite sitting at 1-0, opinions vary, particularly when it comes to their offense and the lackluster performance the unit had in Mike McCarthy’s […]
Fittipaldo Echoes Potential For Steelers To Make Multiple Changes Along Offensive Line
Week 1 showed us that the Steelers’ offensive line is still a work in progress. But the question is, how much work is left? While the expectation is rookie Max Iheanachor will move into the starting lineup at some point this season, will that be the only spot to change? Mark Kaboly brought up the […]
‘Got The Gift’: Pair Of Steelers Veterans Rave About ‘Unbelievable’ WR Roman Wilson
There was a lot of hype surrounding Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson once again in the buildup to the 2026 season, especially after another strong training camp and preseason. But there was also some skepticism, too, considering Wilson’s history of underdelivering on that hype when it matters most. Questions popped up regarding Wilson’s role […]
Cam Heyward Still Harping On ‘Bonehead’ Moments From Steelers’ Defense Vs. Falcons
Despite holding the Falcons to 13 points, Cam Heyward still takes issue with aspects of the Steelers’ defense on last Sunday. While they did enough to win, he sees areas in which they need to tighten up. Some of that may be due to the typical issues of early-season football. But the issues won’t correct […]
Steelers Stock Watch 2026 – TE Pat Freiermuth
Player: TE Pat Freiermuth Stock Value: Up Reasoning: With five targets in the season opener, Pat Freiermuth seems set to assume a larger role in the Steelers’ offense. Again, following a one-year intermission when the team mysteriously thought Jonnu Smith was better. His usage will vary week to week, but last Sunday figures to be […]
Aaron Rodgers’ Mobility Is ‘Better Than It Was Last Year’, Says Robert Spillane
As a 42-year-old quarterback, life isn’t easy for Aaron Rodgers on Sundays. He’s not as mobile as he used to be and can’t afford to take hits every week, which can limit the offense a bit, as we saw last year. But last Sunday’s game against Atlanta looked a bit different. Rodgers wasn’t holding the […]
Kinkhabwala Questions Steelers’ ‘Spineless’ Handling Of Joey Porter Jr.: ‘Medically Clear Him And Fine Him’
Joey Porter Jr. sat out the Steelers’ first game, and NFL insider Aditi Kinkhabwala took him to task for it. Although HC Mike McCarthy claims it was his decision for Porter not to play, and reports indicated some within the organization believed that he would play, the fact remains that there is great skepticism over […]
Shedeur Sanders Will Start By Week 3 For Browns, Insider Predicts; Disgruntled Deshaun Watson ‘Calling Their Bluff’
Deshaun Watson doesn’t want to be on the Browns, Shedeur Sanders will start by Week 3, and Arch Manning will start in 2027. That’s the takeaway from NFL insider Jason La Canfora, who spoke to those around the league about Cleveland’s situation. Following Watson’s poor performance in Week 1, nothing would be surprising. New Browns […]
