More and Moore Dookie

October 15, 2008

According to the Pittsburgh Post Gazette running back Willie Parker aggravated his already injured knee during practice today. His status for the Bengals game this Sunday is uncertain. Hopefully the staff realizes that a healthy Parker is worth more in December than against a cellar dwelling divisional opponent half-way through October. It looks like the door will remain open for backup Mewelde Moore who could see his second 100 yard game in a row. (He…

Caught in a Trap

“I’m caught in a trap.  I can’t get out.  Because I love you too much baby.”  Elvis sang it back in the day.  The Pittsburgh Steelers have to avoid it this coming Sunday. They’ve had two weeks off. Fast Willie Parker is returning to the lineup after an injury. Big Snack Hampton will practice with an eye to getting back on the field. These guys must have some rust. And it’s up to Tomlin to…

Nemesis Defeated

Finally the Steelers get the better of the hated Jax Jags. Big Ben and the boys got off to a great start on the first drive. They efficiently moved the ball down the field. And in one play they were down 7-0, victims of an INT returned all the way home. It was a deflating moment that no doubt had many Steelers fans sighing and thinking, “Here we go again.” They received the next kickoff…

That was an ugly game. After moving nicely down the field on their opening possession, the drive stalled and the Steelers were forced to settle for a 3 points. Due to the field position battle and the stifling Steelers defense it seemed possible that a mere FG could suffice. Then came the Big Target’s inexplicable INT to Ravens DT Ngata. You ever see a baseball hit in super slow motion by a bat? The ball…

Big Target Roethlisberger

It’s time to update the name. So long as the Steelers have Bruce Arians as the offensive (pew!) coordinator and those guys along the offensive (ugh!) line it will remain true. A full game of trying to pound a square peg into a closed hole yielded the same results as it did in the first quarter: a flattened RB, a battered QB, and a tattered OL. Apparently no adjustments were called for by Coach Arians,…

Eagles WR Channels Burress in Irving, TX

September 15, 2008

Plaxico Burress knows how DeSean Jackson feels. During his rookie season for the Pittsburgh Steelers Burress spiked a live ball upon regaining his feet after a catch. Tonight in Texas Stadium Jackson flipped a live ball behind him mere feet before crossing the goal line after a hauling in a long pass and scooting towards a sure TD. Think he got a Maximum Grilling on the sideline? Why do rookie WRs do these things? Are…
