All day long Steeler Nation has been clamoring for Anthony Madison to be back on the roster, and now he is. Presumably this is a move to continue to unleash hell upon the special teams unit. Corey Ivy did a decent job this last week on special teams, but he recorded no tackles.

It is hard to say what the fix for the steelers is on special teams. However, it is worth noting that with Madison back the Steelers can (I believe) deploy a coverage unit exactly the same as one that they deployed last year.

The Butt-Flop Reverse


I'd like to take this opportunity to diagnose a brilliant play design that Arians unleashed this week. Steelers nation often trashed him for his poor game plans and poor play calling, but I think it is clear that we are witnessing the emergence of a cutting-edge offensive mind. Lets break it down!

Post Game Heroes has a nice screenshot of Logan as he is about to get into the pack on his return.

As Dagger says: "please explain to me how he scores on this play"

Timmons in a walking boot. Says he'll play in opener, but couldn't guarantee it. Mild high ankle sprain.

No really, this time it is official. Unfortunately, the steelers were unable to exchange Foote for a draft pick. This may be because no one offered a pick good enough, or because the steelers were just being a swell organization and letting Foote go wherever he chooses for a new contract.

I know one is a long-snapper, but...

Anyone think it is coincidence that Shipley's locker is next to Hartwig and Estermeyer's is next to Warren? Who gives a potential backup LS a real locker and Ziggy Hood a temporary one? Tomlin is a huge jerk, and I love him for it.

2010 FAs post-draft, Contract Extensions?

Commenting on the Larry Foote post, I thought about revisiting what the steelers free agency is going to look like next year. As we all know, the steelers are generally in the business of signing extensions to players they would like to keep who are going to be free agents the next year. I am curious what people think about the likelihood of extensions though.

With the draft it seems clear that the steelers are looking to get younger at certain positions. These positions are also ones that have key players coming up for FAship next year. No one will expect our draft picks to step into roles this year, but I wonder how much their potential impact in 2010 will prevent the steelers from signing contract extensions to those they may replace?
