Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evening, we'll (TRY TO) update the practice/injury chart leading up to Sunday's game. The chart is pretty self-explanatory. If the player is listed as out, they're out for the game. If they did not participate, they didn't practice. If they were limited, then they only participated during a portion of practice (typically means missing 11-on-11 drills). If the player is listed as full participation, it simply means that they practiced fully and that the only reason they're listed is because injury was an issue the week before.

Rams still looking at running backs and wide receivers

VanRam — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 21:14:42 -0000

Gary Russell spent the preseason with the Raiders. The Rams had a workout with the free agent today.

View full size photo »

Due diligence or outright concerned about roster depth, the St. Louis Rams brought in a few players to workout today.

We mentioned the news this morning that former Steelers RB Gary Russell was at Rams Park today. Joining him were RBs DeShaun Foster and Carey Davis, another former Steeler, along with LBs Tank Daniels and David Herron.

I doubt that's the last players that the Devaney and Co. visit with as they tweak their roster prior to the Seattle game. These workouts will also be handy down the road in case they need to quickly plug a gap due to injury. On top of that, they've got to be concerned about RB depth. Gado had a nice preseason, but he's dealing with what could be a painful injury. Another blow to those ribs and he could be on the bench. Behind Gado is Darby, who failed in the preseason to build on the promise he showed last season. I don't mean to be a hater about Gado either, but I wonder if there's not a dropoff between what he's capable of doing in the preseason versus live rounds.

The Rams have six LBs on the active roster and two on the practice squad (K.C. Asiodu and Dominic Douglas). They're already without Larry Grant, who looks like a nice option as a rusher at SLB, for this week and probably next.

The biggest, most obvious question for a Rams roster tweak is adding another WR. Right now, the Rams have just four receivers on the active roster and one (Sean Walker) on the practice squad. The report from the PD (linked above) says Devaney and the Rams are interested in former Eagles WR Greg Lewis, a system, route runner type with some yards-after-catch ability.

Former Giants WR David Tyree's agent said recently that the Rams were among a small group of teams with some interest. (I think I'll pass).

BTSC Steelers Daily Six Pack- Who Is Isaac Redman Edition?

drinkyourmilkshake — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 21:24:41 -0000

IX-The Friday Night practice came and went and the much anticipated goal-line drill was nowhere to be found. Mike Tomlin instead decided to practice the goal-line drill on Sunday afternoon for the family day practice. According to Jim Wexell it was not Frank "the Tank" Summers, Rashard Mendenhall, or Carey Davis that looked the best, but rather Isaac Redman, and un-drafted free agent from Bowie State who made the biggest impression after he converted both of his attempts. Frank Summers was stuffed twice and broke through once, and Rashard Mendenhall failed to gain ground on both of his attempts. The Tribune Review also did an article summarizing the days activities.

X-Here is a list from Tailgate365 on their opinion of what the all AFC All North Team should look like. The list is pretty solid although the inclusion of Carson Palmer over Ben Roethlisberger to me is foolish. It's sad when even some Steeler fans can't look past the stats and see that Ben wins games regardless of whether he throws 5 touchdowns or Zero, he will find a way to make a positive impact on the game and put his team in a position to win games more than any other quarterback in the league.

XIII-Last week I was featured in an article on the Good Point Blog about the 3-4 defense, the wild-cat, and Dick LeBau. The interview was conducted by Andrew Bucholtz from Sporting Madness, and he posted the entire interview on his website that can be viewed here. There is nothing really groundbreaking in the article but it might be a decent read for those of you who can't get enough Steeler football during the offseason.

XIV- Here is another training camp report from the Tribune Review which highlights. The article goes over some of the past days progress specifically Daniel Sepluvada who by all accounts has looked great so far this training camp. The article also mentions that they other kicker in Camp Piotr Czech kicked a 60 yard field goal on Sunday afternoon to a large ovation by the crowd.

XL-Those of you who were around to remember the 1995 Super Bowl loss may be able to relate to some of these memories from coaches and player from the Arizona Cardinals about their experience in Super Bowl XLIII. The most brutal sports memory from when I was a kid was actually the 1992 NLCS Pirates and Braves game, where Sid Bream "avoided" the tag of catcher Mike LaValliere. What are you most brutal sport loss memories either with Professional sports of playing sports growing up?

XLIII-Their hasn't been too much reporting on how the loss of Dan Rooney is affecting the team this training camp. It does seem like the team and organization are moving along without Dan Rooney's presence for the first time in 47 years. Although most reports indicate their is a general feeling that both the Steelers and Rooney are missing each other. I think Mike Tomlin puts its best:

"I'm missing him, but I'm sure he's missing us a little more.

Steelers Offense Delivers Best Game Of The Year When It Matters Most: 2nd Half Review

Blitzburgh — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 06:44:19 -0000

We'll get to Baltimore soon enough. Believe me. But there's not much to be said really. Two rivals will face off for the ultimate prize - a trip to the Super Bowl. Time first to soak in the entertaining and dominant performance against the Chargers first.

******************

Let's continue our breakdown of the Pittsburgh Steelers impressive offensive performance against the San Diego Chargers with a look at the second half. I have lots of other posts I'd like to get to, but a brief synopsis of what happened chronologically is a nice place to start, particularly for those Steelers fans around the country and world that weren't able to watch the game. You can find a celebration thread replete with photos from the game here and the 1st half review here.

The Steelers performance in the 2nd half was truly remarkable and did it ever come at just the right time. Let's take a look at what happened, starting with a complete look at the opening drive to start the half.

I'll say that it was the perfect outcome for the Steelers to start the 2nd half with possession of the ball. After just having gone 66 yards for a TD prior to intermission, Pittsburgh had a great opportunity to extend its 14-10 lead and take command of the game right out of the chute in the 2nd half. Here was our drive:

1-10-PIT23 (14:24) W.Parker up the middle to PIT 25 for 2 yards (T.Dobbins, S.Phillips).

2-8-PIT25 (14:15) W.Parker right end to PIT 38 for 13 yards (E.Weddle).

1-10-PIT38 (13:32) W.Parker up the middle to PIT 42 for 4 yards (S.Cooper, E.Weddle).

2-6-PIT42 (12:52) W.Parker left guard to PIT 41 for -1 yards (T.Dobbins; I.Olshansky).

3-7-PIT41 (12:13) (Shotgun) B.Roethlisberger pass short middle to S.Holmes to SD 49 for 10 yards (Q.Jammer).

1-10-SD49 (11:28) B.Roethlisberger pass incomplete deep right to S.Holmes. COVERAGE BY #42 HART

2-10-SD49 (11:20) W.Parker up the middle to 50 for -1 yards (M.Wilhelm).

3-11-50 (10:37) (Shotgun) B.Roethlisberger pass deep right to N.Washington to SD 32 for 18 yards (P.Oliver).

1-10-SD32 (9:55) W.Parker left tackle to SD 30 for 2 yards (I.Olshansky; J.Williams)

. 2-8-SD30 (9:17) B.Roethlisberger pass short middle to C.Davis to SD 30 for no gain (S.Cooper, J.Williams).

3-8-SD30 (8:33) (Shotgun) B.Roethlisberger pass short right to H.Miller to SD 12 for 18 yards (C.Gordon).

1-10-SD12 (7:47) W.Parker right tackle to SD 8 for 4 yards (C.Gordon).

2-6-SD8 (7:10) B.Roethlisberger pass short right to H.Miller for 8 yards, TOUCHDOWN. . SD 10 PIT 21,

***********

Some thoughts on that drive:

1) Here's an interesting quote from reader Alba made somewhere in the middle of that scoring drive:

I love the play calling because I can’t predict it. Having watched the Steelers all season, I got used to what BA was going to do next. Good stuff today

2) Before that though, notice again Arians' patience with the running game. We had just marched down the field through the air mostly before halftime and I thought we might see us go for the big strike early and often to start. We did not, forcing SD instead to continue spending defensive capital stopping the run to start the 2nd half.

It was of course just a 4 point game at that point and though the running game had been effective, I thought it was so money for Arians to continue showing run to start the second half. We did and it opened up some fantastic things in the passing game later in the drive and in subsequent drives.

3) Just exquisite mixing and matching of runs and passes coupled with some fine execution by everybody on 3rd down situations. We finished the day 6/14 on 3rd down - a respectable number any way you slice it - but a number of those 3rd down failures were early in the game or late when the game was all but over.

4) Heath Miller! Roethlisberger looked his way on two of the more critical plays of the drive. The 3rd and 8 conversion to Miller was absolutely money, and to me the point of no return in the game. At the Chargers 30, an incomplete pass there leaves us in a bit of a pickle. Kick a FG and risk giving SD the ball back close to the 40 yard line in the event of a miss? Pooch punt again? Go for it? Regardless, not converting there would have changed the complexion of the game. Pittsburgh was in complete control but once again found themselves in need of a play in a tricky part of the field.

All year long we've failed to consistently make those big plays. The kinds of plays that lead to points. 18 yarder to Heath, the chains move, the clock keeps ticking and I wrote in the thread: this one's just about over, Pittsburgh's not losing today.

Bruce Arians made sure I didn't look dumb by dialing up one more awesome play call inside the Chargers 10 - a sweet boot leg off play action where Ben rolled to his right a few steps before deftly unloading the ball to Miller, who bruised his way into the end zone for an 8 yard TD score.

4) Understandably, I heard some murmurs about Carey Davis getting thrown to. Davis got taken down immediately upon catching the ball on all 3 of his receptions, but my response to that would be, no no. Davis did his job today. Even if he didn't really do anything statistically or make a play, he was a dependable check down option for Ben and that's what we needed Ben to do at times.

If that last drive of the 1st half was a championship caliber response from our offense, I'm not sure where to categorize this one. Here were the final numbers:

Plays: 13 Yards: 77 Possession: 7:56. 7 passes, 6 runs. 3/3 on 3rd down, all of at least 7 yards or more to go. Awesome.

TIME OF POSSESSION DOMINATION:

Following that impressive drive, our defense had a chance to put the clamps down after a only decent first half performance. They weren't carved up by the Chargers offense by any means, but Rivers in particular was more effective in the first half than I think many of us anticipated.

On the Chargers first play, Brett Kiesel showed off his uncanny athleticism for a DE and timed his jump perfectly to tip Rivers' first pass of the half. Larry Foote and James Harrison wrastled for the ball with Foote eventually coming down with the INT.

We didn't have a short field to go though. Darren Sproles had just taken the kick return back 63 yards, so even though it was SD's first play of the 2nd half, we took back over at our own 21 yard line. The offense picked up where it left off, running the ball and converting on 3rd down. I'll note the reverse play to Holmes on 3rd and 3 for 4 yards and a 1st down as another example of Arians' outstanding day keeping the Chargers off balance with his play calling.

Alas, a holding penalty from Miller stalled the drive but nevertheless, even though we had to punt after picking up just 1 first down, 4 minutes of game clock evaporated, taking it down to about the 3 minute mark of the 3rd quarter.

San Diego's offense must have been eager to get back on the field, but a break for Pittsburgh on the punt coverage kept Rivers on the sideline. The ball bounced off a Chargers helmet and William Gay was there for the recovery. We took back over at the Chargers 23 yard line and could sense blood in the water.

We were eventually turned away at the goal line on a 4th and goal from the 1 attempt. Couple of thoughts on that play:

A) I like the decision to go for it. We're up 21-10 there and even though it would have been nice to secure a 2 TD lead, there's no harm in not converting. The Chargers would be forced to go 99 yards if so. Furthermore, we just saw what Sproles had done in the kick return game. You tell me - which is better? For SD to have the ball at or near midfield down 14 or for SD to have the ball at the 1 yard line down by 11? The caveat of course being that we could make it a 3 score game with a TD.

Obvious choice and the correct choice.

B) The play call wasn't a bad one. Not the best on the day by Arians, but there was enough day light for Davis to at least take on the defenders in the cramped hole had he not bobbled the hand off just slightly. He did though not get it cleanly from Roethlibserger and I think that caused him to not drive forward with as much intensity and power as he might otherwise have on a clean attempt. Oh well.

The strategy paid off just fine when the defense clamped down and forced a quick punt. There were few defensive highlights in the first half, but in the 2nd half, we were treated to some big plays by the D. Kiesel's play first, then a pile drive of a sack by LaMarr Woodley that could have been called for a penalty. It wasn't though, SD had to punt and we had the ball back at midfield.

Up by 11, seemed obvious that we'd try to pound it some more right? Nope, now was the time to throw long on play action. Washington had a step, Ben threw another bomb that was pretty damn close to being perfect and we got a PI call that put us on the goal line. Russell took it in and we were up 28-10.

To conclude, I'll point out one final sequence of plays that put the nail in the coffin tonight. The Chargers had responded and gotten a quick TD to cut it to 28-17. Some might have still been nervous with still 9 minutes to go and rightfully so. At least in terms of there being enough time on the clock left for SD.

The problem though for the Chargers and the reason why I had started dancing around my house to music rather than listening to Phil Simms come the 4th quarter was that we weren't going to be stopped on offense. After two straight passes to start the drive - by the way, just another example of Arians great game, throwing there instead of getting passive - Willie Parker did his finest work of the game.

From our own 43 yard line following the two completions, we ran the ball 6 straight times; 5 with Parker, 1 with Moore. We went 57 yards on those 6 carries, including a 28 yard run and a 16 yard TD to Willie Colon's side that put the game out of reach once and for all.

What a game and what a 2nd for the Pittsburgh Steelers offense. Following the TD score, Big Ben took a seat for the remainder of the game and we all watched on happily as our offense finally delivered a complete game running, throwing and protecting the football.

GO STEELERS!

Steelers Offense Delivers Best Game Of The Year When It Matters Most: 1st Half Review

Blitzburgh — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 05:01:23 -0000

**********

Where to start? I'm barely calm enough to sit down long enough to think, let alone write something but let's start in the most obvious of places - the performance of the Pittsburgh Steelers much maligned offense.

Here were the final team numbers on the day for them:

Team	Pittsburgh	San Diego
Total Yards	342	290
Rushing Yards	165	15
Passing Yards	177	275
3rd Down %	6/14	5/12
Time of Possession	36:30	23:30
Penalties	7-44 yards	8-104 yards
Sacked	1-4 yards	4-33 yards
Turnovers	0	1
Total Plays	70	51

Observations:

1) There were probably lots of Steelers fans who were wringing their hands nervously during the first quarter. San Diego marched right down the field on their opening drive to take a 7-0 lead on an absolutely perfect connection between Philip Rivers and Vincent Jackson for 41 yards. We then had to punt after a holding penalty at the SD 36 backed us up out of FG range. At that particular moment, with the offense once again shooting itself in the foot to stall an otherwise promising looking drive, some may have been exceedingly nervous.

I was not simply because Willie Parker and our offensive line gave us a glimpse of the feast to come throughout the rest of the game. Parker's first run went for 12 yards; he then picked up 2 yards, and another 8 on back-to-back carries and we were inside the San Diego 40 yard line. Credit to Bruce Arians for setting the tone early in the running game. You could just tell that our linemen played like they knew they were the nastier unit in the trenches for the first time all year. Part of that I have to imagine, starts with the offensive coordinator and the tone he sets with his preparation and play calling.

2) We'll get to some individual performance reviews in a bit, but back to the team numbers for a second. It was so huge that Bruce Arians stuck with the run throughout this game. I really felt FWP had a 150 yard game in him and Arians, Parker and the offensive line made sure that prediction rang true. Or at least almost. Parker finished with 146 yards on 27 carries. The 27 carries were the most since Week 2 against Cleveland when he had 28 carries.

3) Pounding the ball against San Diego isn't necessarily the obvious recipe for success. The Chargers after all 11th against the run and 31st against the pass. It helped that Parker was running amazingly hard and efficiently (more on this later), and that the offensive line was opening up some significant running lanes, but as I already said, so much depends on the offensive coordinator putting together a cohesive game plan and sticking to it - then adjusting at the right times throughout the game.

4) The reason I felt so confident after we steadied the ship (forced three straight punts after their opening TD) was because of this clearly visible solid game plan. Take some of our other first half drives for example. Holmes' punt return leveled the score at 7-7 of course, When we got the ball back next, we went 3 and out.

After forcing another punt we got the ball back on our 18 yard line. Here were the ensuing plays:

1-10-PIT18	(12:49) W.Parker up the middle to PIT 25 for 7 yards (E.Weddle; S.Cooper).
2-3-PIT25	(12:14) W.Parker right tackle to PIT 30 for 5 yards (S.Cooper; J.Cesaire).
1-10-PIT30	(11:34) W.Parker up the middle to PIT 36 for 6 yards (J.Tucker).
2-4-PIT36	(10:56) W.Parker right guard to PIT 41 for 5 yards (S.Cooper; J.Williams).
1-10-PIT41	(10:12) M.Moore left guard to PIT 45 for 4 yards (S.Cooper).
2-6-PIT45	(9:28) W.Parker right guard to PIT 48 for 3 yards (S.Cooper; T.Dobbins).
3-3-PIT48	(8:44) (Shotgun) PENALTY on PIT-D.Stapleton, False Start, 5 yards, enforced at PIT 48 - No Play.
3-8-PIT43	(8:20) (Shotgun) B.Roethlisberger pass short right to C.Davis to PIT 49 for 6 yards (E.Weddle).
4-2-PIT49	(7:48) (Punt formation) M.Berger punts 51 yards to end zone, Center-J.Retkofsky, Touchback

That's not a misprint. 6 straight runs for Pittsburgh, covering 30 yards or 5 yards per carry. I don't know if you remember, but on that 3rd and 3 play were Stapleton jumped, we were going to run it out of the shotgun. It was a great call and we were going to get a 1st down.

Anyway, that drive further reinforced to me that we were going to win this game, even if it was just 7-7 and halftime was just around the corner. The one thing that was clear to me and the army of Black & Gold supporters joining in the open thread was that Parker was running hard and decisively. In some of his more jaw dropping highlight reels, Parker often is found doing a stutter step in the backfield as he sees exactly where his lanes might be. Patience and vision is a good thing of course, but sometimes you gotta just go hard into the hole and take what you can. Parker did that when running in between the tackles. When running outside the tackles, he showed that his speed is baaaaaaaaack.

5) We'll discuss the fake punt soon enough, but after we failed to convert, San Diego got a cheap 3 points and we were suddenly trailing by 3 points with just under 2 minutes remaining. Even though we all agreed that Bruce Arians had been calling some nice plays, we joked that this was a great opportunity for the offense to get points: Ben would be in the no-huddle and in charge of the play calling. 7 plays and 66 yards later the Steelers took their first lead of the game at 14-10.

One thought on that final drive before wrapping it up for now: even though the run blocking and the pass blocking from the offensive lineman had been solid in the first half, we needed Mewelde Moore to do a better job of pass protection if we were going to hit our stride in the second half. Moore totally whiffed on the Chargers one lone sack of the game, choosing incorrectly about where the help was needed. I commented on it in the thread, but that was the last of his mental miscues. He was as good as the rest of the line in protection for the remainder of the game and even though it won't show up in the stat sheet, it was highly critical for us to get that contribution from him today.

An absolutely gorgeous 41 yard throw and catch from Big Ben to Hines Ward put us in business and Parker finished it off from 3 yards out one play later. Let that throw to Ward be a nice reminder of two things about Ben:

A) He's still an amazing physical talent - not all QBs can make that throw, period.

B) He has the ability to forget what happened last play, last drive, last game in order to do what's necessary to get things done in the moment. If you recall, Ben overthrew Santonio Holmes the very play before the perfect strike to Ward. There was no time to sulk or panic or be frustrated, even though that miss cost us 7 points. He didn't and we took a lot of the wind out of San Diego's sails heading into halftime. Despite the early deficit; despite the gamble that didn't pay off on our side of the field; and despite being out gained in the first half 118 to 58 prior to that last drive, we mounted that charge and took control of the game's momentum at just the right moment of the game.

A quick look at what I'm talking about, starting first with the errant throw:

Damn, look at all that space between the two Chargers defenders. Holmes was running towards the post and had the inside track on the closer defender. There was no way that the safety was going to catch him if that ball is thrown where it needs to be.

Its a what have you done for me lately business though and Ben responded on his very next attempt:

Sick. So good.

That's what championship caliber quarterbacks and teams do.

Second half next.
