article 53 17 0 2010-01-03T22:47:15-05:00 Playerpress No 136 6832 <p>&nbsp;How many YINZ got?</p><p>&nbsp;I still have no idea what that means.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>What I do know, is that Pittsburgh fans will continue to call it Sixburgh. &nbsp;They won't have to worry about how awkward Sevenburgh sounds. &nbsp;I also am reminded how hard it is to repeat in the NFL, as it seems it is hard to in all sports as well. &nbsp;The NFL has the most recent back to back champions, the Patriots in 2004 and 2005. &nbsp;The NFL has never had a team win three in a row. &nbsp;In the NBA the Lakers are the last team to repeat, and in MLB it would be the Yankees. &nbsp;Both teams are the reigning champs and will try to repeat in 2010.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Another question I have, &nbsp;are the fans in Sixburgh upset? &nbsp;Kerri Corazon and I went out to our local Friday's for dinner. &nbsp;There was a Steeler fan wearing his number 7 jersey at the bar. &nbsp;At least, I think it was a fan. &nbsp;He only looked a little bit like Ben Roethlisberger. &nbsp;I imagine he arrived at the bar in time for the Steelers win over the Dolphins. &nbsp;He was still there when the Ravens eliminated Pittsburgh with their win over Oakland. &nbsp;He did not seem to mind at all. &nbsp;He kept saying &quot;We've got Six. &nbsp;How many YINZ got?&quot;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I went to Wikipedia, because I foolishly trust Wikipedia even though Raj on the TV show &quot;<a href="http://www.cbs.com/primetime/big_bang_theory/">The Big Bang Theory</a>&quot; admitted that he spends his time making false updates to Wikipedia. &nbsp;But I did my research for this article. &nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yinz">Wikipedia says that YINZ is second person plural in the language they speak in Sixburgh</a>. &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The Steelers have only themselves to blame. &nbsp;They started 6-2, then lost 5 in a row, including losses to the Raiders, Chiefs, and Browns. &nbsp;At 6-7, they won their final three, but it was too little too late. &nbsp;Coach Mike Tomlin promised the team would unleash hell in December. &nbsp;Too bad for Sixburgh, they waited two weeks and then tried to save the season.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The Steelers will be watching the playoffs from home. &nbsp;But then, YINZ knew that.</p> 74.99.89.230 2010-01-03T22:47:16-05:00 we-ve-got-six No Yes 74.99.89.230, 66.249.67.229, 123.125.66.21, 174.37.205.76, 66.249.68.233, 142.166.3.122, 174.36.241.148, 67.195.112.159, 123.125.66.101, 67.195.114.52, 67.195.111.172, 66.249.67.131, 142.166.170.101, 174.129.171.1, 91.121.157.149, 69.118.79.140, 207.241.228.152, 69.251.83.79, 200.126.226.16, 206.51.231.26, 99.63.99.180, 169.139.1.20, 76.97.188.228, 174.129.155.45, 174.129.193.73, 65.52.19.122, 70.37.66.169, 38.113.234.180, 89.151.116.56, 67.202.63.158, 75.101.197.164, 208.74.66.36, 208.74.66.61, 64.233.172.6, 216.24.142.47, 89.151.116.54, 83.149.199.55, 174.129.58.57, 89.151.84.34, 142.166.170.21, 74.53.3.132, 66.249.68.237, 76.4.219.240, 63.215.202.234, 119.63.198.20, 87.250.252.241, 142.166.170.102, 147.105.250.10, 192.138.54.196, 218.28.29.236, 216.87.246.3, 66.249.68.150, 142.166.170.103, 66.249.68.143, 152.133.8.2, 38.98.19.111, 38.105.83.12, 74.234.124.5, 71.50.103.10, 66.249.67.245, 95.27.138.33, 66.249.65.119, 66.249.65.109, 66.249.65.68, 66.249.65.111, 66.249.67.162, 66.249.68.137, 65.55.207.75, 67.195.114.42, 65.55.207.121, 66.249.67.136, 67.218.116.131, 66.249.68.248, 67.218.116.163, 67.218.116.133, 66.249.68.245, 123.125.66.125, 74.109.241.149, 209.255.118.193, 65.121.155.222, 68.184.44.129, 24.41.27.101, 66.249.68.149, 66.249.67.142, 66.249.68.204, 67.195.112.154, 208.108.97.31, 66.249.65.114, 66.249.65.77, 65.55.106.182, 74.98.243.167, 65.55.106.210, 66.249.67.174, 174.37.77.69, 65.55.207.93, 189.141.81.78, 66.249.67.152, 65.55.106.112, 38.99.98.3, 67.195.37.188, 74.86.246.124, 67.195.111.26, 38.100.41.113, 67.195.112.114, 38.100.8.50, 62.75.218.97, 66.249.68.155, 217.77.222.128, 88.131.106.32, 65.55.106.110, 67.195.114.246, 208.115.111.245, 74.164.207.202, 66.249.67.149, 65.55.106.230, 77.88.50.45, 123.125.66.79, 208.115.111.246, 204.236.226.210, 66.67.30.147, 66.249.68.175, 65.55.106.137, 72.249.45.161, 67.195.115.214, 67.195.114.230, 24.131.80.191, 66.249.67.210, 66.249.68.81, 66.249.68.37, 85.25.124.132, 66.249.68.66, 67.195.113.247, 207.46.199.42, 67.195.110.163, 206.53.147.23, 207.46.199.39 We've Got Six 1 No Yinz, Big Bang, Big Ben, Coach Tomlin 12 793 writer

Last game of the regular season.&nbsp;</span></font></div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div><font size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Conventional wisdom has the Jets playing much harder than the Bengals especially since Cincinnati will be locked into the #4 seed come kickoff time. I remember in &rsquo;89 when we needed the Vikings to beat the Bengals on Monday night (last game of the regular season) for us to get in. This time we need Cinci to come out on top, but the circumstances are very similar.&nbsp;</span></font></div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div><font size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">One other thing&hellip; If the Bengals lose to the Jets this week they are almost assured of getting them right back in the Wild Card Round.

article 53 17 0 2009-12-11T09:56:00-05:00 Playerpress No 189 6523 <p>&nbsp;Maybe Steelers fans won't mind not being in the playoffs this year.</p><p>&nbsp;Think of it, they would have to go get all new gear and slogans. &nbsp; Sevenburgh? &nbsp;It just does not have the same ring to it. &nbsp;Sixburgh for Pittsburgh works. &nbsp;Or those signs that say &quot;We got 6, how many YINZ got?&quot;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>And now, I digress. &nbsp;First, what does that even mean? &nbsp;What is a Yinz? &nbsp;I suppose I do not know because I do not have 6. &nbsp;And that brings me to my next point. &nbsp;My team in the NFL has 3 Super Bowl wins. &nbsp;I remember them well. &nbsp;I went to two of the parades. &nbsp;As I recall, I was not actually in either of those parades. &nbsp;I was watching them. &nbsp;I also did nothing to contribute to the Super Bowl wins. &nbsp;So, in answer to the above question, I've got nothing.<br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>But we love to be a &quot;we&quot;. &nbsp;Our team. &nbsp;Us. &nbsp;Yankee fans love to talk about 27, even though most were not alive for many of those wins. &nbsp;I honestly do not see Celtics fans saying &quot;We got 17, how many YINZ got?&quot; &nbsp;And I do not even know how many the Canadiens have, the fans don't brag about it. &nbsp;Or take my friend Jose. &nbsp;I was over at his house to watch the second Bengals game this season. &nbsp;His game room was yellow and black. &nbsp;The plates and napkins were yellow and black. &nbsp;Steeler gear was everywhere. &nbsp; Jose is a great guy, but on closer inspection, he married into his Steeler fandom. &nbsp;He really has 2, but don't tell him that. &nbsp;He thinks he has 6. &nbsp;I should ask Jose what Yinz means.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>But back to the current Steelers. &nbsp;Coach Mike Tomlin promised &quot;we will unleash hell in December&quot;. &nbsp; Interesting promise. &nbsp;I'm a religious person, but I have never been much of a fire and brimstone kind of guy. &nbsp;But clearly Mike Tomlin's definition of hell and what I imagine hell would be like are two different things. &nbsp;The Steelers lost to the 4-8 Raiders and then the 2-11 Browns. &nbsp;It just does not seem as scary as burning for eternity. &nbsp;I have to rethink this when I tell Yankee fans to go to hell. &nbsp;Is it Mike Tomlin's version of hell? &nbsp;Not so scary. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>The Steelers have the Packers, Ravens, and Dolphins. &nbsp;It is possible Pittsburgh could drop all 3, as their opponents have higher playoff hopes than they have. &nbsp;It is unlikely they will win all 3. &nbsp;Even if they do, at 9-7, they are probably home during the playoffs. &nbsp;In Sixburgh.</p> 76.97.188.228 2009-12-11T09:56:00-05:00 stuck-in-sixburgh No Yes 174.37.205.67, 174.36.228.154, 74.110.98.167, 66.249.67.174, 123.125.66.102, 66.249.68.172, 67.195.112.159, 142.166.170.101, 200.126.226.16, 142.166.3.122, 67.195.111.172, 76.97.188.228, 89.151.84.35, 67.202.11.49, 70.37.92.166, 174.129.89.199, 75.101.197.164, 208.74.66.36, 174.129.141.109, 70.37.66.169, 89.151.116.61, 89.151.116.54, 75.101.242.214, 142.166.170.100, 66.249.67.149, 71.133.60.61, 128.241.112.231, 75.143.155.28, 66.249.68.193, 123.125.66.107, 216.129.119.11, 70.190.136.245, 208.74.66.62, 63.215.202.234, 209.249.53.64, 38.103.17.183, 173.70.141.183, 174.129.58.57, 70.118.236.150, 95.108.157.251, 174.37.77.69, 159.87.11.241, 38.100.41.112, 164.50.244.202, 66.249.68.178, 119.63.198.11, 142.166.170.102, 67.218.116.163, 67.218.116.131, 71.231.75.205, 67.202.15.176, 67.195.114.52, 64.82.249.90, 74.71.237.5, 66.249.68.233, 99.10.220.101, 87.250.252.241, 218.28.29.236, 70.105.179.128, 204.124.92.254, 66.235.124.58, 212.227.136.205, 74.232.75.2, 142.166.170.103, 99.36.182.7, 82.236.145.82, 79.136.50.205, 78.142.140.194, 166.137.138.218, 76.123.40.72, 72.70.221.86, 67.161.186.47, 207.133.9.103, 173.64.140.33, 65.31.54.80, 66.249.67.229, 71.176.235.200, 66.249.68.20, 71.53.180.146, 66.249.68.150, 85.25.124.167, 85.25.124.4, 67.81.174.29, 123.125.66.30, 24.113.170.97, 66.249.67.131, 65.55.207.50, 174.100.197.147, 207.241.228.152, 74.53.3.132, 69.115.241.123, 167.21.1.224, 66.249.68.219, 66.249.68.166, 66.249.68.143, 192.138.54.196, 65.55.106.136, 216.87.246.3, 38.105.83.12, 65.55.106.234, 206.53.147.138, 95.27.138.33, 66.249.65.109, 66.249.65.119, 217.14.6.210, 66.249.68.137, 66.249.67.175, 66.249.67.162, 72.234.57.169, 67.195.114.243, 66.82.9.43, 150.70.84.45, 216.203.80.125, 72.83.153.12, 65.55.218.160, 66.249.68.248, 193.69.163.235, 65.55.207.69, 67.218.116.133, 67.195.114.42, 71.61.219.90, 66.249.68.245, 66.249.67.239, 41.209.112.226, 198.160.249.2, 123.125.66.81, 74.109.241.149, 65.55.207.100, 98.249.3.163, 66.249.67.218, 98.119.157.21, 66.249.68.149, 67.195.112.154, 66.249.68.204, 66.249.67.142, 76.121.242.206, 72.197.127.6, 66.249.65.114, 71.238.161.149, 66.235.124.59, 65.55.218.158, 65.55.107.221, 67.195.111.26, 67.195.37.188, 96.236.221.6, 71.58.81.83, 72.14.192.3, 65.13.74.8, 69.8.247.233, 66.249.68.225, 65.55.207.122, 67.195.112.114, 74.86.246.124, 75.194.174.128, 65.55.107.215, 65.55.107.207, 65.55.207.118, 38.100.8.50, 165.123.243.168, 62.75.218.97, 66.249.68.155, 130.209.239.6, 129.234.193.111, 208.115.111.245, 66.249.68.187, 123.125.66.118, 65.55.109.121, 67.195.114.246, 67.195.112.88, 208.115.111.246, 173.73.89.180, 204.236.226.210, 72.249.45.161, 38.99.97.172, 67.195.115.214, 207.46.204.180, 72.24.202.36, 66.249.68.236, 67.195.114.230, 66.249.68.81, 207.46.199.51, 63.167.255.155, 68.0.23.12, 67.195.113.247, 85.25.124.132, 66.249.68.66, 206.53.147.23, 67.195.110.163, 142.166.170.21, 207.46.204.177 Stuck in Sixburgh 1 No Pittsburgh Steelers, Sixburgh, Yinz, Mike Tomlin, Hell 12 793 writer

article 53 12 1 2009-12-10T15:21:00-05:00 Ifansblog No 110 6507 <p>Cleveland and Pittsburgh meet tonight in an AFC North rivalry.</p><p>I have to admit that I was totally wrong in my prediction (31-10 Steeler) last week against Oakland. I usually am right about that stuff but I&nbsp;admit I was wrong.</p> <p>It is official, the Steelers can't put anybody away. Will they win tonight? If Bruce Gradkowski can torch the Steelers secondary, why can't Quinn? He can do it and he just may do it.</p> <p>The Steelers have won 12 straight games against Cleveland and Ben Roethlisberger has never lost to Cleveland. I&nbsp;would like to say that the Steelers&nbsp;(6-6) should be able to beat the Browns (1-11) but that isn't the case anymore. If the Steelers have lost to the Chiefs and the Raiders (at home) then anything is possible.</p> <p>The special teams have struggled against EVERYBODY&nbsp;this year. Joshua Cribbs has already took one back against the Steelers this season in Pittsburgh. They HAVE&nbsp;to be better. They cannot let a return back tonight. This is a must win game if the Steelers want a shot at the postseason.</p> <p>What I expect- I expect a close game throughout. The frigid weather helps the Steelers and their run game. I expect another boring NFL&nbsp;Network Thursday night game to be honest. I&nbsp;can't image the Steelers losing to the Browns but it could easily happen.</p> <p>Steelers 16</p> <p>Browns 13</p> 209.250.204.133 2009-12-10T15:21:00-05:00 cleveland-browns-vs-pittsburgh-steelers No Yes 123.125.66.100, 66.249.68.230, 76.97.188.228, 174.36.241.148, 174.37.205.76, 200.126.226.16, 89.151.116.61, 174.129.95.55, 208.74.66.42, 216.24.131.119, 174.129.107.161, 75.101.197.164, 174.129.58.57, 174.129.193.81, 142.166.3.122, 67.220.192.206, 64.62.134.170, 70.37.92.166, 67.195.112.159, 66.249.67.174, 72.44.48.172, 123.125.66.104, 72.44.54.68, 208.74.66.39, 216.24.142.47, 67.195.111.172, 173.72.53.77, 209.20.78.37, 98.196.7.120, 66.249.68.172, 63.215.202.234, 208.118.60.155, 142.166.170.100, 66.249.67.149, 142.166.170.102, 70.118.236.150, 174.37.77.69, 98.239.190.90, 87.250.252.241, 38.100.41.112, 95.108.157.251, 67.195.114.52, 67.218.116.163, 67.218.116.131, 67.202.15.176, 216.129.119.11, 66.249.68.233, 218.28.29.236, 69.91.80.103, 67.218.116.134, 212.227.136.205, 142.166.170.103, 125.165.23.181, 65.55.106.228, 85.25.124.167, 123.125.66.110, 85.25.124.4, 66.249.67.229, 205.209.170.10, 38.105.83.12, 66.249.68.143, 95.27.138.33, 91.205.174.49, 65.55.207.138, 65.55.207.74, 207.241.228.152, 65.55.207.26, 67.195.114.42, 193.69.163.235, 67.218.116.133, 123.125.66.63, 66.249.68.245, 75.72.215.118, 65.55.207.48, 66.249.67.152, 65.55.106.187, 66.249.68.149, 96.239.106.243, 67.195.112.154, 65.55.207.23, 67.195.37.188, 98.243.43.193, 98.210.20.9, 67.195.112.114, 67.195.111.26, 74.86.246.124, 38.100.8.50, 66.249.68.225, 130.209.239.6, 65.55.207.77, 65.55.207.137, 67.195.115.158, 67.195.114.246, 208.115.111.245, 123.125.66.92, 208.115.111.246, 204.236.226.210, 194.44.170.172, 72.249.45.161, 38.99.97.172, 86.132.157.244, 66.249.67.210, 67.195.110.163, 66.249.68.37, 85.25.124.132, 207.46.195.229, 204.236.244.231, 66.249.67.201, 67.195.115.214 1 No NFL, Steelers, Browns, AFC North, NFL Network, Thursday night football -1 1063 writer

article 53 12 0 2009-12-03T22:34:00-05:00 Ifansblog No 145 6353 <p>The Pittsburgh Steelers will get back on track after Sunday's game against Oakland.</p><p>&nbsp;</p> <p>First of all I wanted to say that everyone who is interested in this article can keep up with me this same website for the rest of the season. I will give scores and winners of the games that the Steelers are in so stayed tuned.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Mike Tomlin said that the Steelers were going to &ldquo;raise hell&rdquo; in December; well yeah they are going to have to do just that. At 6-5 there is no room for error and Tomlin knows this. Hines Ward was very critical of Ben Roethlisberger after the Ravens game when Roethlisberger did not play because of headaches from his concussion against Kansas City. Hines basically said that the locker room was divided down the middle in whether Big Ben should have played or not. Hines said that he had played before with a concussion and he knows other people who have done the same. The problem with that is Ben has had more than one concussion and in these NFL days people cannot rush concussions. Hines later backed down from those comments.&nbsp;</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">My prediction- I think the Steelers will &ldquo;raise hell&rdquo; in December and it starts this Sunday against Oakland (3-8). I believe that Big Ben has a great day and hooks up with Hines Ward at least once. The running game looks solid as Rashard Mendenhall has a productive day running the football. The defense will get to the quarterback multiple times and will force at least a turnover. I would normally say that the score would be closer than people think because the Steelers struggle to put any team away but this week I feel it will be different.&nbsp;</div> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Steelers win 31-10</div> 76.97.188.228 2009-12-03T22:34:00-05:00 pittsburgh-steelers-vs-oakland-raiders No Yes 123.125.66.30, 123.125.66.111, 174.36.241.149, 174.36.228.155, 142.166.3.122, 76.97.188.228, 66.249.65.200, 64.13.147.189, 89.212.78.95, 89.151.116.52, 67.207.201.152, 174.129.104.29, 174.129.155.45, 70.37.66.169, 75.101.197.164, 208.74.66.39, 67.220.192.206, 174.129.141.109, 64.62.134.170, 70.37.92.166, 190.59.47.13, 66.249.65.199, 67.195.112.159, 174.133.61.66, 97.120.2.96, 167.102.150.4, 174.129.58.57, 174.129.178.139, 174.129.107.161, 174.129.193.77, 79.99.6.106, 72.229.227.96, 66.249.68.227, 63.215.202.234, 64.253.166.252, 67.195.111.172, 142.166.170.101, 68.217.168.37, 67.218.116.134, 65.222.217.213, 67.228.189.217, 96.19.196.156, 66.235.124.56, 67.218.116.131, 74.192.197.176, 142.166.170.104, 72.14.164.149, 71.86.120.41, 69.88.44.91, 68.150.199.133, 71.212.41.65, 70.44.13.230, 68.171.235.74, 71.3.175.211, 66.244.80.3, 75.88.180.244, 166.143.35.167, 142.166.170.100, 67.218.116.163, 216.129.119.11, 207.179.181.130, 204.210.207.21, 66.249.67.239, 209.250.204.133, 24.59.81.80, 24.210.147.236, 192.49.171.64, 71.174.206.176, 66.249.68.172, 76.237.9.50, 95.108.157.251, 75.97.27.0, 195.128.18.18, 74.61.183.103, 70.118.236.150, 174.37.77.69, 38.100.41.112, 66.249.68.152, 67.195.114.52, 66.249.67.17, 87.250.252.241, 66.249.68.233, 66.249.67.229, 98.160.235.135, 66.249.67.185, 218.28.29.236, 212.227.136.205, 74.45.177.45, 123.125.66.45, 123.125.66.112, 70.142.39.43, 66.249.67.131, 76.175.37.128, 71.188.173.16, 150.70.84.154, 85.25.124.167, 85.25.124.4, 98.118.84.112, 65.55.207.69, 66.249.68.219, 69.115.241.123, 66.249.67.55, 80.162.39.157, 66.249.68.166, 75.101.190.184, 65.55.106.229, 66.249.68.143, 38.105.83.12, 94.136.16.242, 87.118.101.175, 120.28.64.93, 95.27.138.33, 65.55.106.211, 123.125.66.66, 216.129.119.81, 76.4.189.213, 66.249.68.248, 67.218.116.133, 65.55.106.230, 65.55.106.158, 65.55.109.194, 65.55.106.110, 67.195.37.188, 65.55.110.217, 74.86.246.124, 38.100.41.113, 66.249.68.149, 65.55.106.203, 38.100.8.50, 130.209.239.6, 66.249.67.245, 67.195.112.114, 66.249.68.164, 208.115.111.246, 65.55.106.156, 204.236.226.210, 72.249.45.161, 38.99.97.172, 208.115.111.245, 66.249.68.81, 85.25.124.132, 142.166.170.102, 123.125.66.87, 67.195.115.214, 67.195.110.163, 207.46.199.42 Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Oakland Raiders 1 No NFL, Steelers, Hines Ward, Prediction, Raiders -1 1063 writer

article 53 17 0 2009-11-23T12:22:00-05:00 Playerpress No 134 6203 <p>With Ben Roethlisberger possibly having a concussion and Charlie Batch now out 6 weeks with a wrist injury, the Steelers may have to turn to rooke Dennis Dixon out of Oregon in this week's showdown against the Baltimore Ravens.</p><p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Dennis Dixon had a stellar senior season at Oregon last year. Dixon led his Ducks to a number 2 BCS ranking with wins over Arizona State, Michigan and USC just to name a few. He was pulled out of the Arizona State game with a torn ACL, but was cleared to play two weeks later against Arizona but was obviously not himself.&nbsp;He scored a running touchdown but his knee buckled and was forced to leave the game as the Ducks lost to Arizona 34-24. Dixon was a contender for the Heisman before getting injured. He is a versatile; he can run and throw pretty well. He is an athlete. He got drafted in the 5th round of the 2007 MLB draft by the Atlanta Braves.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">I'm not sure if Dennis Dixon can get the job done against the Ravens this week but I think he may present some problems for the Ravens. He can throw and run which no quarterback for the Steelers has been able to do since Kordell Stewart. Not that the offensive coordinator does anything out of the ordinary but Dixon can provide the offense with some different options.&nbsp;Dixon is an athlete that can do it all. He might not be enough to beat the Ravens but I think he has a legitimate shot to beat them but he will need help from the offensive line, special teams and running back to help him.</div> 96.246.183.3 2009-11-23T12:22:00-05:00 the-steelers-may-have-to-turn-to-dennis-dixon- No Yes 200.126.226.16, 66.249.68.242, 123.125.66.35, 76.97.188.228, 75.101.170.136, 174.37.205.76, 70.61.97.142, 209.127.118.254, 66.249.67.174, 24.189.142.82, 79.183.103.138, 68.192.239.28, 67.195.112.109, 67.195.114.233, 130.49.7.111, 142.166.3.122, 174.36.228.156, 142.166.170.101, 65.185.93.144, 67.218.116.131, 119.63.198.56, 87.106.232.224, 123.125.66.16, 24.144.231.214, 63.215.202.234, 66.249.68.227, 67.195.37.172, 216.129.119.11, 142.166.170.100, 66.249.67.239, 94.100.189.243, 72.58.205.22, 71.31.83.169, 71.58.146.178, 67.218.116.163, 173.71.68.191, 82.166.163.10, 66.235.124.54, 209.250.204.133, 66.150.224.245, 207.67.117.178, 67.195.112.159, 67.195.114.52, 66.249.65.200, 67.218.116.134, 66.249.67.206, 142.166.170.103, 67.228.189.217, 72.14.164.173, 66.249.68.89, 195.128.18.18, 207.179.181.130, 66.249.67.225, 66.249.67.131, 66.249.68.230, 66.249.68.172, 95.108.157.251, 66.249.67.78, 174.37.77.69, 66.96.219.183, 163.1.5.153, 38.100.41.112, 66.249.68.178, 123.125.66.115, 67.195.111.172, 66.249.67.229, 66.249.68.152, 66.249.68.195, 87.250.252.241, 66.249.68.233, 216.129.119.41, 65.55.106.185, 212.227.136.205, 80.186.207.70, 69.248.84.88, 65.55.207.137, 85.25.124.167, 85.25.124.4, 65.55.106.115, 66.235.124.58, 123.125.66.27, 66.249.68.143, 38.105.83.12, 66.249.67.245, 66.249.67.175, 95.27.138.33, 66.249.65.109, 66.249.65.119, 217.14.6.210, 67.195.114.243, 66.249.68.137, 91.205.173.243, 66.249.67.162, 65.55.106.179, 65.55.106.111, 66.249.68.248, 66.249.67.136, 67.218.116.133, 67.195.114.42, 65.55.106.187, 123.125.66.82, 65.55.207.28, 66.249.68.149, 76.253.64.148, 67.195.112.154, 66.249.68.204, 67.195.111.26, 67.195.112.114, 67.195.37.188, 65.55.107.243, 74.86.246.124, 38.100.41.113, 65.55.106.137, 38.100.8.50, 65.55.207.122, 66.249.68.155, 66.249.67.149, 66.249.68.164, 123.125.66.97, 67.195.114.246, 208.115.111.246, 67.195.112.88, 75.101.179.141, 204.236.226.210, 66.249.68.26, 72.249.45.161, 67.195.114.230, 207.46.195.233, 67.195.37.97, 67.195.115.214, 208.115.111.245, 85.25.124.132, 67.195.113.247, 142.166.170.102, 67.195.110.163 The Steelers may have to turn to Dennis Dixon 1 No NFL, Roethlisberger, Dennis Dixon, Ravens, Steelers, Injuries 12 1256 writer

They took 10 CCs of my blood, and they have a machine that takes the plasma out. Then they injected the plasma into my ankle. That helps speed up the process of healing. It helped me to a speedy recovery the last time I hurt my ankle. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">It&rsquo;s really gotten better and I&rsquo;ve been working out on the Nordic track, walking in water, rotating the ankle to make it stronger, icing it, doing exercises to help loosen it up.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I had to wear a boot for a week but I got that taken off and now I can get around on my own. <span class="GramE">But</span> I still can&rsquo;t run on it.

I was on my way to make the tackle but our DT thought he was <span class="SpellE"><span class="GramE">gonna</span></span> make the play, too. He <span class="GramE">didn&rsquo;t</span> mean to but he rolled up on my ankle, so it came from friendly fire. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="GramE"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">It&rsquo;s</span></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> a Grade 1 sprain, not a big deal, and it&rsquo;s the other ankle from the one I hurt earlier in the season. I should come back faster than I did from that high ankle sprain. I should be able to make it back for the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Denver</st1:city></st1:place> game, which will be Nov. 9 on Monday Night Football.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">The defense came up <span class="GramE">really big</span> against <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:state w:st="on">Minnesota</st1:state></st1:place>. Brett <span class="SpellE">Keisel</span> had a big strip on Favre and <span class="SpellE">LaMarr</span> took it to the <span class="GramE">house, that</span> was huge. One thing about our D, <span class="GramE">we&rsquo;re</span> always trying to give the offense a shorter field, we want to make it easier on them by making big plays. Coach Tomlin loves to call them splash plays.

article 53 17 0 2009-10-20T23:32:00-04:00 Playerpress Yes 245 5721 <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">This last game against <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Cleveland</st1:place></st1:city> was probably one of my best of the year, but I don&rsquo;t worry about that. I just go out and play the game. My job is my main concern, I&rsquo;m just thinking about what I can do to help the defense, not how many sacks or tackles I have.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I think we played well on defense but you can always do better. I know I left a couple of plays out there, missed a couple of tackles. I definitely learned something from this game. The defense still has a lot more growing to do, but as the season progresses we will get better. I still think we&rsquo;re good but we have strides to make.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Minnesota</span></st1:place></st1:state><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> comes to town this week and they have so many weapons, they&rsquo;re like an army. They&rsquo;ve got Brett Favre, Bernard <span class="SpellE">Berrian</span>, Sidney Rice, <span class="SpellE">Visanthe</span> <span class="SpellE">Shiancoe</span> is playing amazing right now and their defense is in the top five in the league every year. They&rsquo;re a complete team and we definitely have to bring our A game.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">You know the Vikings are strong if they can beat <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Baltimore</st1:place></st1:city> coming off a loss. The Ravens almost never lose two in a row, so to beat them after a loss, that&rsquo;s impressive.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">To me, Adrian Peterson is the best back in the league. He&rsquo;s just unreal, a hell of an athlete. The whole defense has to work to stop him. You have to swarm to him and wrap him up when you tackle because you know he&rsquo;s going to break some tackles. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">It&rsquo;s a great year for football. Especially in our conference, on any given Sunday any team can be beat, no matter how the team has been playing. You have to have respect for every game. Every team has playmakers, just like we do.

We don&rsquo;t want fans celebrating in the <span class="SpellE">Dawg</span> Pound when we play there. Also, it&rsquo;s a conference game, and it&rsquo;s very important that we win conference games to get in better position for the playoffs.

article 53 12 0 2009-10-12T13:04:00-04:00 Playerpress No 162 5575 <p>Well here we go again with Pittsburgh's defense. Think i am kidding, think again. When the Steelers lost Polamalu a couple years back, their defense was less than impressive. Once he comes back I&nbsp;think the defense will be back to normal.</p><p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Remember when Anthony Smith garenteed victory over the Patirots a couple years back? Polamalu wasn't there and Ryan Clark wasn't there but that is besides the point. The point is, Polamalu is a franchise player and it is finally noticed when injuries occur, sadly.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>There were rumors he could of came back yesterday against the Lions but why? Obviously they should and did win the game without him. Next week, Tomlin trust me, sit him out again, we do not need him against the lowly Browns whos quarterback just went 2-17 in a 6-3 victory. Just sit him out and make sure he is 100 percent ready because he is the team and also the Vikings game will be huge to the Steelers for their confidence. I&nbsp;am telling you that if the Vikings beat the Ravens and when the Steelers beat the Browns I can promise you the Steelers will win in Pittsburgh against the Vikings if, and only Polamalu plays at 100 percent. Even if he is 80 percent I still believe the Steelers can win because he is so dynamic.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Polamlu is the &quot;game changer&quot; that every defense needs. If you are missing your best defensive player (sorry James Harrison) then you struggle on defense. Once can be an accident, but twice is a problem. We can live for a year without Harrison but not Polamalu, and I mean no disrespect to James, he is the defensive MVP but Polamalu is the key to the D.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>He is not your average safety, he can be found in the box, outside, covering recievers, on the line, or in your traditional safety position. A&nbsp;game-plan is needed for a player like Troy and that presents problems because noone can game-plan for a player like Troy. He is the best safety in the league&nbsp;(sorry Ed Reed, he out-shined you in the AFC&nbsp;Championship game last year) bar-none.</p> 76.97.188.228 2009-10-12T13:04:00-04:00 steelers-defense No Yes 209.59.96.122, 203.147.4.68, 66.249.68.248, 123.125.156.130, 72.30.79.93, 65.55.105.219, 190.102.206.48, 174.46.170.179, 66.249.67.219, 76.21.118.84, 216.129.119.44, 174.46.170.180, 67.218.116.163, 67.42.206.163, 123.125.156.135, 67.218.116.131, 65.55.105.217, 202.54.61.99, 67.218.116.133, 64.13.159.91, 74.52.45.250, 71.8.69.247, 66.235.124.56, 72.30.142.179, 216.129.119.11, 114.127.246.36, 209.249.53.52, 209.249.53.146, 64.210.199.231, 204.38.191.199, 72.241.166.146, 94.142.130.176, 209.243.17.0, 72.145.38.170, 98.225.241.24, 66.249.67.242, 66.249.68.245, 38.100.8.50, 79.136.50.205, 62.254.135.85, 18.246.2.79, 124.128.193.123, 67.195.115.163, 66.249.67.198, 123.125.66.15, 202.112.126.123, 66.249.68.111, 69.147.154.98, 119.63.198.28, 66.249.68.227, 38.100.41.67, 66.249.67.195, 71.63.116.19, 74.206.98.195, 78.47.189.170, 88.255.219.6, 67.195.37.163, 66.249.67.230, 84.204.74.133, 202.188.222.2, 189.21.126.3, 190.14.254.162, 38.108.180.6, 92.241.182.24, 85.25.124.167, 200.110.244.81, 67.195.112.109, 66.249.68.242, 200.201.190.82, 38.108.180.165, 87.106.232.224, 67.208.234.6, 65.55.207.49, 123.125.66.110, 67.195.114.52, 218.248.21.194, 94.100.189.243, 38.108.180.109, 120.28.64.85, 120.28.64.78, 82.130.28.24, 66.150.224.245, 207.67.117.178, 65.55.207.72, 85.113.244.201, 218.28.29.234, 65.55.106.186, 94.23.23.121, 66.249.65.200, 195.210.57.83, 221.215.1.224, 72.14.164.154, 67.195.112.159, 189.14.192.84, 195.128.18.18, 209.250.204.133, 66.249.67.131, 95.108.157.251, 38.99.98.16, 87.250.252.241, 218.28.29.236, 66.249.68.233, 67.195.111.172, 65.55.207.123, 95.27.138.33, 65.55.109.108, 67.195.114.42, 67.195.111.26, 88.131.106.32, 208.115.111.246, 208.115.111.245, 72.249.45.161, 66.249.68.81, 67.195.115.214, 66.249.67.78, 85.25.124.132, 67.195.113.247 Steelers defense 1 No NFL, Pittsburgh Steelers, Minnesotta Vikings, Baltimore Ravens -1 1063 writer

They even called there town SIXBURGH! Well it will be SIXBURGH for a while, they are on NO Stairway to Seven! This years team is just horrible. They were beaten by the lowly Cincinnati Bengals to add the topping to the ice cream. <br /> <br /> The Baltimore Ravens are legit! Joe&quot;Wacco&quot; Flacco is undoubtly the best QB in that division! The Ravens have the best 3 running back combo perhaps in NFL history this season. They could go undefeated this season. It looks like Pittsburgh better get used to the cold hard reality, that its too late to play KETCHUP(haha, get it? HInes&quot;ketchup&quot; Field lol) <br /> <br /> Little Ben Roethlisberger just cant throw the football like he used to.

article 53 17 2 2009-09-17T21:27:00-04:00 Playerpress Yes 994 5209 <p class="MsoNormal">I <span class="GramE">didn&rsquo;t</span> get to play in last weeks game against the Titans because of my ankle injury but the rehab is going great and the ankle feels real good right now. I will definitely be playing in this week&rsquo;s game against the Bears in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Chicago</st1:place></st1:city>.</p><p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">I practiced this week on Wednesday and Thursday and the ankle feels just fine. I&rsquo;m taking it one day at a time and will be back to 100% <span class="GramE">real</span> soon. Right <span class="GramE">now</span> it is feeling really good and I&rsquo;ll be ready for the Bears this Sunday at Soldier Field. <span>&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">This will be the first time I have ever played in Soldier Field and I am very interested to see the so-called UFO that landed inside the stadium. I know that a UFO <span class="GramE">didn&rsquo;t</span> really land there, but they say it looks like one did.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">We have a good game plan for the Bears and we know that that they are going to play hard and try and make up for their close loss against the Packers in week one. We know the Bears are going to come in and play a whole lot better then they did last week, <span class="GramE">plus</span> they will have the home crowd behind them.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span>&nbsp;</span>Jay Cutler is a real good quarterback and we know that he will be pumped and try to win the game. Jay throwing four picks is highly unusual and he is going to be trying his best to beat us, so we have to be ready to defend him and limit what Cutler and the Bears offense do during the game.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Matt Forte is also a very good runner who runs downhill and can take it to the house at any time so we have to make sure to contain him and not let him get into open space.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">We also know that we have to be very good on special teams with Devin Hester returning punts. He can run one back to the house at any time and we have to be ready for him. The Bears have <span class="GramE">really good</span> special teams so we are going to have to match them.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">It was a shame that Brian Urlacher got hurt and is out for the season. In hearing about his injury, it was probably best for him and his future that he is out for the season. A linebacker really needs the use of his wrist and hands to play the position properly. <span>&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">We had our own defensive leader <span class="GramE">get</span> injured in week one as well, as I am sure you have all heard. <span class="ysp-player">Troy Polamalu hurt his knee, but he works hard and </span>has been making progress and rehabbing his injury. He is a hard worker and I feel that he will be back on the field sooner then most people expect.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">He will obviously not be playing this week against the Bears, and <span class="GramE">I&rsquo;m</span> sure that we are going to miss him on the field. We will not only miss him for his playing ability but also his leadership skills on the field. He keeps everyone on the defense in line and he is one of the best, if not <i>the</i> best safety in the league.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="GramE">But</span> just as the Bears are going to have to do without their defensive leader in Urlacher, with <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Troy</st1:city></st1:place> out, the backup and the rest of the defense is going to have to step it up and fill in the void.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="GramE">It should be a great game between two hard-hitting teams that like to play smash mouth football.</span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Lawrence Timmons is a linebacker with the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers.
