While everyone talks about Kenny Pickett struggling, very rarely is the ‘why’ to his struggles talked about around Pittsburgh Steelers circles. He has a decent arm, and he’s an above-average NFL athlete, but he can struggle to process from the pocket, and that can develop into bad tendencies in the pocket to leave it too early instead of staying in structure. Pickett can work out of structure and has shown it before, but he often relies upon it too much. And that is what teammate and cornerback Patrick Peterson believes as well. He has to improve on his pocket presence…

If you’re like me there isn’t anywhere you can go to escape the talk about who the Steelers starting quarterback will be in 2024. Unfortunately, while the names have changed, the chatter has been the same for a long, long time. I can go back as far as the 2017 NFL season when then-Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had a terrible game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. After a five-interception performance, Big Ben quipped: “Maybe the old gunslinger doesn’t have it anymore.” From at least that moment forward, fans have been rabid about Roethlisberger’s replacement, even when he wasn’t ready to be…

The Pittsburgh Steelers moved on from Chuks Okorafor to give him a headstart into the offseason, and as a result, Okorafor became another tackle in a market with very few options. So, what could the market be for him? After a season that saw him benched, Pro Football Focus projects that Okorafor could land a $5.25 million deal in free agency, a solid payday for Okorafor. Okorafor, 26, had been with the team since the Steelers drafted him in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Western Michigan. A native of Ibadan, Nigeria, Okorafor became a starter…

The Pittsburgh Steelers could add not one but two massive defensive backs this offseason, finishing off their secondary by providing young and talented pieces to an already strong defense. One of those additions comes through free agency, while the other has been named their “home run pick” in the first round of the NFL Draft. And really, both make complete sense for the Steelers – and should be on their radar. When it comes to the AFC and trying to defeat the likes of Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, and many others, having a strong secondary is…

The Pittsburgh Steelers are currently in the thick of the offseason. One of their star players, linebacker TJ Watt, is utilizing the first two weeks of the offseason to rest and recover from the previous season. This is a new approach for him, as he hopes it will help him preserve his career longevity and give his body sufficient time to recuperate. Over the past seven seasons, Watt has undeniably established himself as one of the most dominant forces on the gridiron, consistently delivering stellar performances. However, the toll of another grueling season has become apparent, particularly as he reflects…

The Pittsburgh Steelers have indicated that 2022 first-round pick Kenny Pickett will be given every chance in the world to prove that he can be the guy in his third season, after his first two were marred by injury and inconsistency. Mason Rudolph played exceedingly well down the stretch to help Pittsburgh earn a playoff spot, but is a pending free agent and might have options outside of the Steel City this offseason. Many analysts across the country believe the team needs to take a serious look at getting some outside help via free agency or a trade If Pittsburgh…

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been making news a lot this offseason. There have been reports going around that Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin is a big admirer of Chicago Bears quarterback, Justin Fields. This development has caused the odds to shift in favor of the Steelers in their bid to acquire Fields via a trade. The Bears have secured the top pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, and there are strong indications that they will select Caleb Williams, the highly-touted quarterback from USC. Since the Bears are likely to draft Williams, it is clear that the team will trade their…

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback situation has been a hot topic this offseason. To be fair, the team felt confident they had a franchise guy in Kenny Pickett until Mason Rudolph showed up the last three games of the 2023 regular season and blew Pickett’s stats out of the water. Now this leaves the team figuring out what to do with Rudolph. Will they try to keep him and will he want to stay? On top of that, how much will that cost? Local media has been in a frenzy writing about all of the variables regarding Pickett and Rudolph, but…

Pittsburgh Steelers’ Cam Heyward injured his groin and missed six games in 2023. It is the most time he has missed since the 2016 season when a torn pectoral muscle cost him his only chance to play in an AFC Championship game. Heyward will be 35 years old when entering the final year of his contract in 2024. He is still the Steelers’ best defensive lineman and the captain of the Pittsburgh defense, despite his injury. Heyward returned to the field in Week 9 of the 2023 season against the Tennessee Titans and helped the Steelers win the game, 20-16.…

The majority of conversations surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2024 offseason has been focused on the quarterback position. It makes sense given the importance of a formidable signal-caller in today’s NFL, but Head Coach Mike Tomlin and General Manager Omar Khan have a lot of work to do in several other areas. Fans may want to hear about fascinating and unexpected scenarios, but the nature of the Steelers’ organization has always been heavily focused on familiarity and loyalty. There is a possibility that the notion of those beliefs come into the fold when free agency opens up in the middle of…
