Official 2012-13 Pittsburgh Steelers Off-Season Thread

[viva la ben]

The Najeh Davenport comment is pure gold.

Made by Donnie Iris no less.

[DropEmJayBird]

The Steelers have also waived, Chris Brown - Singer, from their roster

[the wicked child]

Steelers are likely going to part with Starks, Foster and Colon.

I'll believe it when Colon signs with another team. Love this gem:

Despite a change in roster makeup to emphasize running the ball better, the Steelers went the other way last season, averaging just 3.7 yards per carry on the ground after averaging 4.4 yards per pop with basically the same personnel in 2011.

Actually, they didn't have the same personnel. Colon didn't play in 2011 save for one half against Baltimore.

[Alejandro Rojas]

So do yinz think Eddie Lacy will be available in the 2nd rahnd in April?

Tavon Austin

NO GOD NO

Seriously. Tavon Austin will snap like a twig in the NFL.

That's respectable Woodley. The Steelers become more and more difficult to root for every year. Two of the supposed "leaders" on the team (woodley and roethlisberger) have no interest in offseason conditioning.

[Letang Is The Truth]

i wonder who said it. ryan clark?

[columbia]

lol. NFL players really don't have a problem with ******** about one another to the press.

[Troy Loney]

It was probably Casey Hampton.

BRoeth has showed up in good shape the last couple years.

Perhaps the stillers used reverse psychology on ben....

Todd Haley: "Ben, you have played well the past few years, just keep doing what you have been doing in the offseason. Don't mess with your routine."

Ben: "I think its time to start getting serious about phsyical fitness and stop eating so often at scheetz"

The NFL's least valuable player -- the anonymous teammate -- emerged from hiding this weekend to rip Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley.

"He was awful," the teammate said of Woodley to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "He tells us he works out, but we didn't see it. He wasn't in shape. That has to be a reason why he was always hurt."

**** off Ryan Clark.

[viva la ben]

The article doesn't say it was Ryan Clark ripping Woodley does it? I read Clark's comments as ripping the team for not keeping it in house.

i dont have a problem with whoever said it. truth hurts.

[Idoit40fans]

Yeah, hopefully Woodley is offended and proves everyone wrong by coming into camp healthy this year.

[Troy Loney]

When you suffer the same sort of injuries as el blimpo and your a professional athlete. you are a fat and out of shape professional athlete.

[FreeCandy44]

Steelers interested in local product.

http://m.nbcsports.com/content/steelers ... %99s-agent

Moar crappy local players!

[IanMoran]

Meh... for the right price I actually like it. He'd be good competition for Sanders... neither should be handed job, but I think odds are one would end up doing well

He was always a pretty good player I thought.. he just became the victim of 'meh.. we suck anyways, I guess we need to see what our first round pick Baldwin can do."

After going from emerging star to being hidden on bench he's made it clear he wants to start.... if someone says "you're our starter," he'll probably go there

He's visiting the Browns on Tuesday though

[FreeCandy44]

Is this the same Jim Miller who was our starting QB for one quarter?

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

Looks like it. IIRC, he is from Chicago.

[ville5]

I'm kinda hoping with all the holes the Stillers trade down, not once, but twice in the 1st. And end up 25-27 slot.

[Dickie Dunn]

Would make sense. Not just because of the holes in the roster, but the quality of the draft class. There really aren't any standout players. Picking 17th or 25th or the beginning of the 2nd round doesn't really seem to matter in this draft. Would like to see them accumulate picks and build depth.
