Diving into the dynamics of the Steelers' tight end trio reveals a blend of unique talents that can reshape the offense's approach. Jonnu Smith stands out as a pure pass catcher with a remarkable ability to run smooth routes and showcase excellent hands, though his blocking skills run into some challenges. Pat Freiermuth, who led the team with 65 receptions, also excels as a receiver, but similar to Smith, his blocking at the point of attack remains a work in progress. Adding to the mix, Zach...

With key additions like Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay, competition in practice has reached high levels, pushing all players to elevate their performance.

With an enhanced offensive line that has the potential to elevate their game, the team is set to make a significant impact. On the defensive side, critical adjustments have been made to effectively shut down the run game. However, if the coaching schemes on both sides remain basic and uninspired, that won't go unnoticed. Aaron Rodgers emphasized the competitive landscape, suggesting there ...

Is $40 million too much for T.J. Watt? As the best player on the Pittsburgh Steelers, his absence is glaring—evidenced by the team's dismal 1-10 record when he doesn't play. Watt has the unique ability to change the outcome of games, excelling against both the run and the pass, with a remarkable knack for forcing fumbles. However, recent signs of slowing down raise questions about his value. Posting his worst full-season numbers since his rookie year, Watt managed just 11.5 sacks last season....

Steelers Almighty breaks down the Pittsburgh Steelers' bold strategy as they commit to a Super Bowl run in 2025. With a roster overhaul, the team has smartly added veterans in key positions, showing they refuse to settle for mediocrity. Importantly, the Steelers have managed to strengthen the squad without sacrificing their future; aside from a small trade involving a second-round pick for DK, no mid to high round picks were dealt. The decision to part ways with Minkah was strategic, as his l...

Darnell Washington is primed for a bigger role in the Steelers' offense as we dive into his impressive stats and potential impact for the 2024 season. With 19 catches for 200 yards and 1 touchdown, his performance already outshines his 2023 numbers of 7 catches for 61 yards. Given the success of the Arthur Smith system, which thrives on dual tight end setups, Washington's versatility could be a game-changer, especially considering the combined 103 catches and 1,249 yards from Pitts and Smith ...

Payton Wilson is stepping into a crucial role as the starting inside linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it’s time for him to prove he’s a DAWG. Last season, Wilson played 520 snaps, but he needs to double that to solidify his position as an every-down linebacker. While he finished fourth on the team with 78 tackles, including 49 solo stops, he was often caught overcommitting early in the season, allowing teams to exploit him in sub-package defenses. Despite being ranked 17th by PFF a...

Zack Frazier has quickly emerged as a vital asset for the Pittsburgh Steelers, showcasing an impressive rookie season that has fans buzzing about his potential as the next great center. Starting 16 games and achieving a remarkable PFF grade of 77.9—ranking him as the highest graded lineman on the team—Frazier displayed his prowess with a solid 68.6% pass-blocking efficiency and an incredible 80.5% run-blocking rate. His tenacity on the field is unmatched, as he consistently finishes blocks an...

Brien ""Big B"" Hanley dives deep into the motivations behind a recent player’s decision to join the Pittsburgh Steelers. With limited options on the table—like the Jets who moved on and a struggling Saints team in salary cap turmoil—it became clear why Pittsburgh emerged as the ideal fit. The Jets' decision to let him go stemmed from internal issues, and the quarterback’s recent experience with them was less than stellar, ending a dismal 5-12 season marked by dysfunction. The upcoming...

The Steelers’ current quarterback situation raises crucial questions about accountability within the organization. The front office, led by Mike Tomlin, Omar Khan, and the late Kevin Colbert, has struggled to develop a reliable backup quarterback, with names like Omar Jacobs, Landry Jones, Joshua Dobbs, Mason Rudolph, Chris Oladokun, and Kenny Pickett—often referred to as ""Babyhands""—coming up short. Art Rooney's involvement has also been a point of contention; as a non-football guy, his de...

The success of the Pittsburgh Steelers hinges significantly on the performance of their tackles this season. With Troy Fautanu and Broderick Jones stepping into crucial roles, the pressure is on for them to deliver after the organization invested substantial draft capital in their development.

Big Ben Roethlisberger often finds himself in the shadows of the game's elite quarterbacks, yet Terrell Suggs boldly claims he’s the most underrated QB of all time. When we dive into the stats, it's hard to ignore Ben’s impressive legacy: he ranks 5th all-time in passing yards with 64,088, 8th in touchdown passes with 418, and 5th in completions with 5,440. Notably, he’s secured more Super Bowl rings than legends like Drew Brees, Brett Favre, and Aaron Rodgers, while matching the tally of Pey...

Should the Steelers consider a switch to a 4-3 defense instead of sticking with the traditional 3-4 look? With an enhanced defensive line, bolstered by impressive new draft picks like Sawyer at DE, Yahya as NT, and Harmon at DT, the potential is there for a transition. Last season, the Steelers operated in their base 3-4 defense just 25.6% of the time, relying heavily on sub-packages to adapt to the modern game—70% of their snaps utilized these formations. However, the absence of traditional ...

It’s been almost a decade since they last won a playoff game, with recent postseason appearances lacking competitiveness. The fear factor that once defined this franchise seems to have diminished, raising ...

The performance of the offensive line is pivotal for the Pittsburgh Steelers' success this season. Broderick Jones needs to meet or exceed the average NFL tackle level to provide the stability crucial for the team. McCormick must improve his fundamentals, while Fautanu's health is imperative for maintaining a solid front. Seamalu has to regain his physicality, and Frazier's dominance on the line is essential as well. Building depth across the line, including swing tackle and guard options, wi...

George Pickens is a talent the Pittsburgh Steelers cannot afford to lose. His incredible skills will shine even brighter on the field when paired with a player like DK Metcalf, as it would limit teams' ability to double team. Additionally, there’s potential for Pickens to grow and mature, which could unlock even more of his talent. With his current contract situation, the Steelers can utilize him effectively for the next two years without breaking the bank. Keeping Pickens is not just a smart...
