Steelers Almighty

The stakes are higher than ever for Mike Tomlin as the Pittsburgh Steelers venture into a season that could define not just this year, but the future of the franchise. With back-to-back records of 9-8 and 10-7, merely avoiding losing seasons is no longer sufficient; the pressure to elevate the team's performance is palpable. Tomlin's recent moves, including the pursuit of superstar talents like Aaron Rodgers, Jalen Ramsey, and Jonnu Smith, signal a clear message: the Steelers are all in for a playoff run. But as the season unfolds, questions loom—has Tomlin’s philosophy grown stale after over a decade at the helm? While players continue to rally behind him, there's a growing need for tangible success that matches the enthusiasm. Can Tomlin prove he's still the right leader to take the Steelers back to greatness? Join us as we dive into the implications and expectations for this pivotal season. Can Roman step up and seize this critical opportunity as the Steelers look to solidify their roster? After experiencing challenges in the 2024 season, including struggles with health and trust, he's now in a position where it feels like it’s his job to lose. But was this chance truly granted, or did the Steelers simply not find a better alternative? As a third-round pick, expectations are high for Roman—fans are rightfully anxious since we haven’t seen him consistently on the field. However, he possesses the necessary tools: impressive size, speed, reliable hands, and the toughness to block effectively. Recently, he was called out by Aaron Rodgers, a moment that could serve as a turning point for his career. It’s time for Roman to focus, play with confidence, and prove he can be the player everyone believes he can be. The anticipation for Week One is palpable as the Pittsburgh Steelers prepare to face the New York Jets. With a major quarterback swap in play and the fallout from Aaron Rodgers’ departure still echoing, all eyes are on how this matchup will unfold. Justin Fields has struggled as a Steeler in the past, and the offense will face a solid test against a Jets defense that could expose some weaknesses. Our wide receivers are in for a challenge, and the ability of the run game to find its rhythm will be crucial. On the flip side, will the revamped championship-caliber defense step up? The new-look secondary has the potential to give Fields nightmares, while the front seven faces a significant challenge in containing both the Jets' running game and Fields himself. A fast start is essential, especially with a tough schedule ahead. The Steelers are better than the Jets—now it's time to prove it. Join us as we shine a spotlight on Pat Freiermuth, the often-overlooked weapon in the Pittsburgh Steelers' offense. From his key contributions on the field to his potential for future breakout performances, we dive deep into why Muth deserves more recognition. Discover how his skills fit into the team's overall strategy and what fans can expect as the season unfolds. Don’t miss our breakdown of his playing style and impact on the game!

While this may seem light, the team could benefit from adding another player for depth. Despite ongoing trade rumors, there's been no movement, leaving fans wondering if any available options are significantly better than the current lineup. Plus, we'll touch on the safety position and what it means for the team's future. Join us as we break down these critical decisions and what they could mean for the Steelers moving forward!

Tune in to get in-depth coverage and be part of the conversation on the Steel City’s favorite team! Steelers Almighty dives into the controversial topic of Steelers draft failures, focusing on what truly defines a hit or miss. While first through fourth-round selections are classified as misses, the fifth to seventh rounds are not held to the same standard. We shine a spotlight on General Manager Kevin Colbert and take a closer look at the much-criticized 2022 draft class. Join us as we examine the roles of Colbert, Head Coach Mike Tomlin, and current GM Omar Khan in shaping the team's draft strategies and overall success. Tune in for an insightful discussion that holds no punches as we dissect the highs and lows of the Steelers draft history. Optimism surrounds the Pittsburgh Steelers as they head into 2025, bringing both excitement and uncertainty to their offense. With a new quarterback at the helm, there’s hope for improvement, despite his age and mobility concerns. While fresh faces on the roster aim to spark change, some longstanding challenges remain. The team welcomes a new WR, but the lack of a reliable WR2 raises questions about the passing game. Additionally, the introduction of a new RB1 offers potential for explosive plays, yet his durability and ball security issues present significant risks that the previous starter, Najee Harris, did not share.  Last season saw the Steelers rank 11th in rushing—with Harris accumulating 1,043 yards, 6 touchdowns, and 36 receptions—although their overall offensive performance fell short, landing them at 23rd in total offense and 27th in passing yards. It’s clear that a solid plan to enhance the passing game is essential, especially given the pressing need for a second reliable receiver.  Looking ahead, a successful 2025 season hinges on maintaining a top 11 rushing attack while improving passing to at least the top 16, similar to the Jets last year at 218 yards per game. Scoring also needs to increase; averaging just 2 more points per game could secure a top 10 finish. The potential for growth is there, and fans eagerly await how these changes will unfold.

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 Gentry brings crucial run blocking skills, grading at 67.7 last season. Expect an array of intriguing personnel packages as the team explores different combinations like 11, 12, and 13 personnel, and even possible 04 looks with Smith in the backfield. However, while creativity is essential, emphasis on blocking cannot be overlooked. With Arthur Smith’s run-heavy philosophy, both Muth and Smith need to step up their run blocking to effectively support the ground game, ensuring that the Steelers' offense remains versatile and effective. Derrick Harmon is the player we expected him to be: big, strong, and athletic. The Steelers needed to inject youth and agility into their defensive lineup, and Harmon embodies that. With his powerful hands, he has the ability to control the line of scrimmage. While he may not always make the highlight reel, don’t let that discourage you; defensive linemen often play a crucial role by occupying blockers, allowing linebackers to make plays. However, we need Harmon to take that next step and become a disruptive force on the field. His impressive stat of leading the NCAA in defensive line pressures in 2024 shows he has the potential to elevate the pass rush, something the Steelers have missed consistently. Paired with Cam Heyward, Harmon could become the next standout Steelers defensive tackle. Aaron Rodgers has profoundly shifted the mindset of the Steelers' offense, fostering an environment where players are determined not to let him down. In a revealing interview on ""The Pivot,"" Jalen Ramsey highlighted that Rodgers' talent and ability remain untouched, creating a culture focused on seeking his approval and elevating performance. His seasoned experience and calm demeanor are holding players accountable, pushing them to excel on the field. While the quarterback position has posed challenges for the Steelers in recent seasons, this year presents a different narrative. With Rodgers at the helm, decision-making is expected to improve significantly, positively influencing the entire offensive unit. Unlike his previous role with the Jets, where he was required to be a savior,  Success in 2025 for the Pittsburgh Steelers hinges on several key benchmarks that extend beyond just a winning record. While maintaining 18 consecutive seasons without a losing record is commendable, it’s no longer sufficient in this results-driven league. With the fierce competition in the AFC North, including a potentially elite Ravens roster and a high-flying Bengals offense, the Steelers will need a minimum of 12 wins to claim the division title. Anything less could be detrimental, especially as there’s no room for slipping into a ""Tomlin Game.""  Moreover, after going eight years without a playoff win, the urgency to break this streak is palpable. The last five postseason appearances have largely resulted in blowouts, with the exceptions being a narrow loss to the Jaguars in 2017. Success must therefore be measured by winning a playoff game and demonstrating competitiveness in subsequent rounds. Ultimately, while the Super Bowl remains the goal, the path toward that glory begins with tangible postseason victories—no excuses allowed!  We ARE...Steelers Almighty!!! __________________________ Ways to Support Steelers Almighty:  🛍️ BIG Merch | https://steelersalmightyshop.com/ 🛍️ 🚨 Become an Almighty!

The Pittsburgh Steelers' defensive backs have stepped up their game, bringing an attitude that’s hard to ignore. With key additions like Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay, competition in practice has reached high levels, pushing all players to elevate their performance. Joey Porter Jr. (JPJ) is showcasing newfound confidence this season, addressing the issues that led to penalties in the past. This year's cornerback room is arguably the deepest in recent memory, featuring talents like Ramsey, Slay, JPJ, and promising newcomers such as Echols, Trice Jr., Bishop, and Kent. Meanwhile, strong safety options like Thornhill and Clark add even more depth to the secondary. However, the fierce competition means someone productive will inevitably be cut due to limited roster space. The battle for those spots will ultimately strengthen the Steelers' defense, as they navigate a roster built for dynamic play rather than redundancy. Alex Highsmith is facing significant pressure as he navigates a pivotal season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Often overshadowed by star teammate TJ Watt, Highsmith emerged as a formidable force in his own right, ranking as the 8th best edge rusher according to PFF. With an impressive pass rush grade of 89 and a solid run defense rating of 78.3, he recorded six sacks in just 11 games last season, showcasing his durability despite having missed only two games in his previous four seasons, until last year. However, the emergence of Herbig complicates matters. As Highsmith enters a contract year with no guaranteed money left, the stakes could not be higher. Another season reflecting his previous performance might put him on the trading block, with the Steelers poised to save $14.5 million through a post-June 1 designation trade.  Terry McLaurin would undoubtedly elevate the Pittsburgh Steelers' wide receiver room and offense with his impressive skill set, boasting five consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, elite route-running abilities, and exceptional hands. Known for excelling in contested catches, he achieved a career-high 13 touchdowns in 2024, showcasing his talent as a competitor and leader. His professionalism and unwavering commitment to the team's success make him a valuable asset—but the financial implications raise concerns. Acquiring McLaurin would likely require significant trade capital, possibly a second and fifth-round pick, or even a first-rounder, which could disrupt the Steelers' plans for securing a future QB in the 2026 draft. With Washington reluctant to trade him, this pursuit poses risks and could leave the Steelers again on the sidelines of a potential deal.  Kaleb Johnson showcases impressive potential as an elite zone scheme runner, displaying excellent vision and a patient yet decisive running style that allows his blockers to execute their assignments effectively. However, he faces stiff competition from Kenneth Gainwell for playing time. While Gainwell is a solid backup with a knack for running the ball and decent skills in pass protection, Johnson's development is crucial for making an impact this season. Although his pass protection has room for improvement, particularly after some rough moments at the start of training camp, his determination and work ethic are evident.  We ARE...Steelers Almighty!!! __________________________ Ways to Support Steelers Almighty:  🛍️ BIG Merch | https://steelersalmightyshop.com/ 🛍️ 🚨 Become an Almighty!

The Pittsburgh Steelers are positioning themselves as serious contenders for the Super Bowl this season. 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 are only six to eight teams with a real shot at the title, and he feels the Steelers belong in that group. Meanwhile, veteran leader Cam Heyward is aiming for the elusive Lombardi Trophy, expressing his commitment to compete at the highest level. As the season unfolds, the city of Pittsburgh is eager for a championship-worthy performance, and the players are ready to rise to the occasion. With the arrival of elite defensive back talent, the Pittsburgh Steelers are poised to create matchup nightmares for opposing offenses. The impressive trio of Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr. (JPJ), and Darius Slay on the field together takes the team's secondary to a whole new level. Porter, already a promising young player, has been spotted sporting Ramsey’s cleats, symbolizing his eagerness to learn from one of the best and contribute to the Steelers' championship aspirations.  The versatility of Ramsey—able to play safety, slot, or outside corner—adds another layer of complexity for offenses trying to scheme against the Steelers. If Ramsey does take on a safety role, it raises questions about how that would impact other players, especially now that Minkah Fitzpatrick is sidelined. With an NFL landscape characterized by heavy nickel formations, the Steelers’ 73% usage of nickel and dime packages in 2024 offers a strategic advantage, especially with a strengthened run defense. This powerful secondary, even without Minkah, is equipped to neutralize opposing offenses' primary targets, while depth in the defensive line will force quarterbacks to make quick decisions.  Brien ""Big B"" Hanley dives into the dynamic tight end situation for the Pittsburgh Steelers as Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth prepare to share the field. Smith expresses his excitement about teaming up with Freiermuth, recognizing the potential for synergy between their differing skill sets. With Freiermuth’s impressive 65 catches and seven touchdowns last season and Smith's standout performance of 88 catches for 884 yards and eight touchdowns, this duo is ready to elevate the game. Each player brings unique strengths, from Smith's ability as a pure pass catcher to Freiermuth’s traditional TE skills and the blocking prowess of Mt. Washington.  Roman Wilson dominated the WR2 reps on day one of training camp, outpacing both CA3 and Robert Woods significantly. This performance raises questions about the Steelers' confidence in Wilson's ability to secure a key role in the offense. According to Dulac, the organization holds high hopes for Wilson, who they were eager to draft and are encouraged by what they’ve seen thus far. However, health remains a concern, with the team hoping he can stay on the field. Known for his tenacity, Wilson's willingness to block is a product of his coaching under Jim Harbaugh at Michigan, embodying the ""no block, no rock"" mentality.

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. To justify a hefty contract like his, he must deliver at least three consecutive years of 15 or more sacks. Moreover, his durability is critical; staying healthy is essential, especially as he faces challenges during the final stretch of the season. Over the last four games, he recorded only 7 tackles and no sacks, putting even more pressure on him to perform consistently in the closing months. The Pittsburgh Steelers have shown a resurgence, drawing comparisons to their best days since 2017, although it's clear this roster lacks the talent of the legendary ""Killer B's."" The offensive line that once paved the way for big plays has faltered, and the defense has struggled to maintain consistency. Quarterback play has been a significant area of concern since 2018, following Ben Roethlisberger's injuries that hindered his effectiveness. The departures of Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown, coupled with Juju Smith-Schuster’s inability to step up as the primary receiver, added to the challenges.  The 2025 Pittsburgh Steelers roster is shaping up to be significantly improved across the board. Starting with the quarterback position, the addition of experienced players like Aaron Rodgers alongside Mason Rudolph and young prospect Howard gives the team a solid foundation. The running back room boasts talent with Warren, Johnson, and Gainwell ready to make an impact. At wide receiver, the dynamic shifts with the arrival of DK Metcalf and the departure of GP, while Woods replaces Jefferson.  The offensive line is bolstered by Broderick Jones stepping in for Moore and Troy Fautanu also making strides. There's hope for a better Mason Rudolph to elevate the offense. On the defensive side, the D-line has become younger and more athletic, featuring Harmon, Sawyer, Black, and Euchle.  In the secondary, Darius Slay represents a significant upgrade over Jackson at cornerback, while Jalen Ramsey transitions to nickel and contributes to a deeper unit alongside Beanie, Trice, and Echols. Although Minkah Fitzpatrick's presence will be missed, improved play from the D-line and corners could mitigate that loss. Special teams remain a strength, with the kicking game staying elite and a punter battle that promises to enhance performance.  Can McCormick hold his weight as he steps into a demanding role on the Pittsburgh Steelers? With James Daniels sidelined, it’s crucial to see if he can rise to the challenge without the readiness of Spencer Anderson as a backup. Transitioning from FCS to an NFL starter is no small feat, and technique will be key. While there are concerns about his fundamentals, McCormick’s undeniable motor and tenacity shine through.  We ARE...Steelers Almighty!!! __________________________ Ways to Support Steelers Almighty:  🛍️ BIG Merch | https://steelersalmightyshop.com/ 🛍️ 🚨 Become an Almighty!

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 looming $24 million cap hit in 2026 made it clear that keeping him was not a sustainable option. This proactive approach highlights the Steelers' commitment to winning now while avoiding the pitfalls of a year-late trade. Great teams recognize when tough decisions need to be made, and the Steelers are fully embracing the challenge.  Exploring the pros and cons of extending TJ Watt's contract raises important questions for the Pittsburgh Steelers. While signing Watt to a new five-year deal could mean he would be 36 at the end of it, concerns about his performance linger, especially given some slippage in 2024 and injuries impacting his availability. The key question is whether he will maintain his elite status over the next few years. However, there's no denying that Watt remains an exceptional pass rusher who demands attention from opposing offenses, significantly impacting games when healthy. The decision to extend Watt could significantly shape the Steelers' future.  In the discussion about defensive strategies, the importance of cornerbacks often outweighs that of safeties. While elite safeties can be seen as a luxury, strong cornerbacks are a necessity for building a top-tier defense. Consider the highest-paid safeties in the league—players like Kerby Joseph, Antoine Winfield Jr., and Derwin James command impressive salaries but have yet to secure playoff victories, despite their lofty rankings in points allowed. On the other hand, successful defenses, such as the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024, thrive on value and depth, with cost-effective cornerback talent like Reed Blankenship proving their worth without breaking the bank.  Mike Tomlin's tenure as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers has reached a critical juncture, sparking debates about his future with the team. As the Steelers face mounting challenges and inconsistent performances, fans and analysts alike are questioning whether it’s time for a change at the helm. In this discussion, we dive into the factors contributing to Tomlin's pressure, examine the expectations of the Steelers' organization, and consider the implications for the team's direction.

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 among all linebackers, this ranking doesn't fully capture his potential due to limited playing time.  Ryan Clark sparks a compelling debate on the legacies of Mike Tomlin and Aaron Rodgers, highlighting how both have been seen as potential all-time greats but have also faced criticism for not living up to lofty expectations. Clark reflects on his admiration for Rodgers, recalling the 2011 Super Bowl loss that led him to believe Rodgers would dominate and secure multiple championships. He draws parallels between Tomlin's ability to motivate and prepare players on par with coaching legends like Nick Saban. However, he questions whether the high standards set for these two icons might skew perceptions of their success. Can someone with four MVPs like Rodgers truly be labeled an underachiever? And what about Tomlin, who has never posted a losing season but has only reached the Super Bowl twice?  Lynn Swann and John Stallworth were both drafted in 1974 during one of the most iconic drafts in NFL history, contributing significantly to the Pittsburgh Steelers' legacy. Swann, a first-round pick, was known for his flashy play and remarkable leaping ability, aided by his ballet background. His best season came in 1975, where he led the league with 11 touchdowns and famously became the first wide receiver to earn Super Bowl MVP honors in Super Bowl X, displaying his extraordinary talent with a record 161 yards in the game. On the other hand, Stallworth, a fourth-round pick, had a slightly different journey. Battling early injuries, he rose to prominence during Super Bowl XIV, stepping in for Swann and making a game-changing 73-yard touchdown catch that sealed the victory for the Steelers.  Who should the Steelers extend next? With Jaylen Warren poised as the starting running back, his role as a complementary back could elevate the offense significantly. Known for being one of the top pass protectors in the league and a reliable option out of the backfield, securing him with a contract around $4-6 million per year could avoid the need to draft another RB. Meanwhile, Calvin Austin III has the potential to thrive as a true #2 receiver alongside DK, making him a vital part of the receiving corps in today's pass-heavy league. Signing him for $5-6 million per year before the season would solidify this dynamic trio. Don’t overlook Isaac Seumalo, the veteran presence on the offensive line. Turning 32 in October, he showed signs of slippage last season, possibly due to an injury that kept him out for the first four games.  We ARE...Steelers Almighty!!! __________________________ Ways to Support Steelers Almighty:  🛍️ BIG Merch | https://steelersalmightyshop.com/ 🛍️ 🚨 Become an Almighty!

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 and plays through the whistle, embodying everything Steelers Nation cherishes in an offensive lineman. While concerns of a sophomore slump linger, Frazier’s determination is evident—he notably crawled off the field with a broken leg in college just to save his team a timeout and managed to power through the rookie wall later in the season. Rod Woodson stands as one of the all-time greats in NFL history, easily claiming the title of my #2 cornerback of all time. His legacy is highlighted by an impressive array of accolades, including two All-Pro seasons at safety after departing from the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he also secured a Super Bowl championship in Super Bowl XXXV. His prowess on the field earned him the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award in 1993, along with an extraordinary six First-team All-Pro selections from 1989 to 2002 and three Second-team All-Pro honors. A perennial favorite, Woodson graced the Pro Bowl 11 times and led the league in interceptions twice. His influence extended beyond individual seasons, earning him spots on the NFL’s 1990s All-Decade Team and both the 75th and 100th Anniversary All-Time Teams. Despite his impressive resume, Woodson's connection to Pittsburgh was evident—he never wanted to leave. Deshon Elliott has proven himself to be a valuable asset for the Pittsburgh Steelers, delivering a rock-solid performance as a starter with impressive stats including 108 tackles, 73 solo, 1 interception, and 2 forced fumbles. His tenacity and no-nonsense attitude have made him a standout on the defense, stepping up as a vocal leader when the unit has struggled. After bouncing around early in his career with the Ravens, Lions, and Dolphins, Elliott has seemingly found his home in Pittsburgh, where he averaged an impressive 91.5 tackles in seasons where he played at least 14 games. With his skill set aligning well with the defense, extending Deshon Elliott seems like a move that would benefit both him and the team moving forward. Mini Camp Review highlights the key developments from the Steelers’ offseason activities. The team emerged from mini camp relatively healthy, aside from Darnald Parnam, who was TE4 and not a major concern. Minkah Fitzpatrick has shown up in outstanding form, appearing faster and more rejuvenated, making plays all over the field. On the defensive side, expect a more imaginative and unpredictable scheme rather than sticking to a vanilla approach. Keep an eye on Donte Kent, who has made a strong impression and may challenge Beanie for the nickel spot, showcasing more speed and flashes of talent during mini camp.

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 season brings exciting changes to the Steelers' offense with the arrival of Aaron Rodgers. Arthur Smith remains committed to a strong running game but will need to adapt his approach, allowing Rodgers to showcase his unique skills, especially through play action. Complementary football will be essential; while Rodgers is a formidable weapon, he isn't a one-man army. The offensive line must step up, providing the protection he needs while also creating running lanes for Warren and Johnson. Last season, the Steelers shied away from the middle of the field, a tactic that can’t be repeated if they want to succeed. Tight ends Friermuth and Washington must play a more integral role, helping stretch the field and open up opportunities. Additionally, DK Metcalf is expected to be the dominant force that Pickens was last year—while Pickens had an impressive season with 66 receptions, 992 yards, and 5 touchdowns, there's room for growth, and a ""Got Paid"" slump can't be an option this time around. Looking ahead to the 2025 season, let’s reflect on 2024, where the numbers stood at 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, and a completion rate of 63%. Despite the unfavorable record, his performance was better than critics portray; he was managing an average offensive line that was ranked 17th by PFF, allowing 43 sacks against the Steelers' 49. Coming off an Achilles injury, he started the season rusty, struggling with mobility and holding onto the ball too long. However, the tide turned during the second half of the year, where he shined in the last nine games, with only one off game against Minnesota, where he threw three picks in a narrow 23-17 loss. Success for 2025 lies in reaching the playoffs and ensuring the quarterback position remains a strength, as it's crucial to the Steelers' competitiveness. The future of the Pittsburgh Steelers is bright, with a steadfast commitment to building from the inside out. As we look ahead to the 2026 season and beyond, the plan remains focused and unwavering. Even if the Steelers claim a Super Bowl victory, targeting a quarterback early next season is crucial for long-term success. With 12 potential picks, Pittsburgh is poised to have the flexibility and power to shape the future of the franchise in the upcoming draft. The question of whether Aaron Rodgers could re-sign if he enjoys a strong season adds another layer of intrigue. It all boils down to his desire to stay and the team's interest in keeping him. The opportunity for a new quarterback to learn under a future Hall of Famer for a season could be beneficial for both the player and the team.

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 decisions, particularly during the pivotal moments of Ben Roethlisberger’s tenure, have come under fire. Roethlisberger himself played a role in this dilemma, famously resisting the drafting of Mason Rudolph and publicly criticizing the choice, which hindered any chance of mentorship. Furthermore, his reluctance to step aside when it was time to pass the torch adds another layer of complexity to the narrative. Who should bear the responsibility for the current state of the Steelers' quarterback position? Keeanu Benton needs to step up and become a true game wrecker for the Pittsburgh Steelers. As a player who hasn't commanded double teams, he must focus on finishing plays this season after falling short of that goal in 2024. With the recent addition of Yaya Black, there’s hope that Benton will get more opportunities to play at his natural position, as he is not ideally suited to be a nose guard due to his size. The time is now for Benton to prove his worth and make a significant impact on the field. Calvin Austin III is the hidden gem of the Pittsburgh Steelers roster, often overshadowed but ready to shine. Drafted in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Austin's rookie year was derailed by an injury that kept him off the field. In his second year, he had limited opportunities, finishing with 17 catches on 30 targets for 180 yards and a touchdown, while also showing promise in the punt return game with an impressive 14.6-yard average on 29 attempts. As we head into 2024, Austin is poised for a breakout season, recording 36 catches for 548 yards and 4 touchdowns, plus another 289 yards on 17 punt returns and a score. With the ability to play both the Z (flanker) and Y (slot) positions, he's versatile but still needs more targets, particularly on shallow crosses and deep over routes. His reliable hands and improved catch radius make him an exciting weapon for Big B to explore as he aims for WR2 status.  Omar Khan’s tenure as the Steelers' general manager has generated both intrigue and scrutiny. Taking the reins in 2022 and making his mark with crucial draft decisions, Khan’s first major move was trading up to secure Broderick Jones at pick 14. This year, Jones is finally stepping into the role he was drafted for, while the 2023 draft class, deemed an A+, added valuable talent like Joey Porter Jr., Keeanu Benton, and exciting prospects like Darnell Washington and Nick Herbig. With the 2024 draft on the horizon, fans are hopeful as the Steelers focus on the offensive line, eyeing potential starters including Troy Fautanu and Roman Wilson.  We ARE...Steelers Almighty!!! __________________________ Ways to Support Steelers Almighty:  🚨 Become an Almighty!

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. Former NFL lineman Ross Tucker has expressed his admiration for Troy's talent, but he remains concerned about Broderick's readiness for the challenge. As the season unfolds, the performance of these two tackles will be key to the team's success. Check out Ross Tucker's thoughts on the offensive line and how these players can impact the season ahead. Alex Highsmith is at a pivotal juncture in his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After a solid start, he must stay healthy and elevate his performance to secure his future with the team. To meet expectations, he should aim for at least 70 tackles and 9+ sacks this season; anything less, like last year's 6 or 7, won't cut it given the current state of the defense. With no guaranteed money remaining on his contract and the Steelers drafting Sawyer as a potential replacement, the pressure is on Highsmith to prove he’s worth the investment. Let Muth cook. Pat Freiermuth must become a focal point in the middle of the field, making his presence felt in the seams. With Arthur Smith needing to get him the ball consistently, it’s essential to leverage his talent more effectively. After leading the team with 65 receptions and racking up 653 yards—averaging 38 yards a game—alongside 7 touchdowns, Freiermuth has shown he can be a major weapon. However, to truly unleash his potential, he must also bring more physicality to his game, especially in critical moments like that memorable 3rd and 1 against Baltimore in the playoffs last year. There's also room for improvement in his blocking skills; with better effort in that area, he can successfully create opportunities for others. Dive into the legacy of the Pittsburgh Steelers as we explore the best five teams that never clinched a Super Bowl title. From the dominant 1976 squad featuring an astonishing roster of 12 Pro Bowlers and a relentless defense led by the likes of Jack Lambert and Mean Joe Greene, to the heart-wrenching 2017 team that faced tragedy with Ryan Shazier’s injury, our discussion covers the peaks and valleys of Steelers history. Relive the momentous 2016 season, where an injury-plagued offense fell short in the AFC Championship, and the 2004 powerhouse that saw a rookie Ben Roethlisberger lead a formidable lineup that was ultimately undone by turnovers against New England. We also reflect on the 1994 team, which boasted a fierce defense and a strong running game but suffered an upset in the AFC Championship to the San Diego Chargers.

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 Peyton Manning and Eli Manning. As the Steelers look towards the future, the team is strategically setting itself up for a high pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. With 12 picks currently in their arsenal, Pittsburgh has ample capital to move up and secure a quarterback they truly believe in. The upcoming QB market is shaping up to be promising, featuring potential prospects like Arch Manning, Garrett Nussmeier from LSU, Cade Klubnik of Clemson, LaNorris Sellers from South Carolina, Drew Allar of Penn State, and even Nico Iamaleava from UCLA—although his status remains uncertain. Carson Beck from Miami also adds to the list of intriguing candidates. While Will Howard could be in the mix, his performance won’t dictate the plans at the quarterback position. The Steelers recognize the importance of fostering competition; history shows that only two quarterbacks drafted on day three since 2010 turned out to be successful. Patrick Queen needs to elevate his game to truly become the playmaker the Pittsburgh Steelers expect him to be. While he led the team with 129 tackles, including 65 solo efforts, he also recorded 20 missed tackles, ranking 185th according to PFF. His speed and ability to rush the passer are notable assets, but they weren't enough to overshadow his struggles. Throughout the season, Queen often found himself out of position, leading to inconsistent performances in both run and pass coverage. As he navigated his first year donning the green dot, communication issues were evident, contributing to an average pass coverage grade. George Pickens' trade raises questions about whether his production matched the problems he faced during his time with the Steelers. With 174 catches for 2,841 yards and 12 touchdowns, Pickens showcased undeniable talent while navigating the challenges of playing alongside five different quarterbacks, none of whom could be classified as stellar. His journey has been marred by over $250k in fines over his first three years, stemming from concerns about his effort on run plays and pass routes, along with controversial interactions, like fighting fans and liking negative posts about teammates. Despite these issues, Pickens has demonstrated an exceptional ability to catch poorly thrown passes and make spectacular plays, proving his elite hands when focused. His numbers reflect signs of talent that could shine even brighter with better quarterback play and a more consistent offensive scheme.

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 4-3 linebackers, particularly a strong thumper, presents a challenge, as does the overall lack of depth at the position. In today's pass-heavy league, the effectiveness of a 4-3 could be crucial.  Should the Steelers trade or extend George Pickens? Examining the possibilities, keeping him in Pittsburgh could be a game-changer. Averaging 58 catches for 947 yards per season, Pickens showcases top 10 talent with an incredible catch radius that enhances the offense when given the chance. Pairing him with DK could form one of the NFL's most dynamic duos, essential for scoring more points and securing victories—two strong wide receivers are vital for that success, and we can afford to keep him. On the flip side, there are concerns about his maturity and inconsistent effort, alongside a lack of progression in his route running over his first three seasons. Is the issue with the scheme, or does it fall on him? Dive into the biggest player developments for the Pittsburgh Steelers this season, spotlighting key athletes poised to make an impact. Broderick Jones must step up as a competent left tackle—this is the pivotal year for him to shine with no room for excuses. Troy Fautanu showed promise during his limited appearances, but staying healthy is crucial for his growth in what effectively serves as his rookie season. Meanwhile, JPJ faces challenges as the most penalized cornerback in the league, with 17 penalties impacting his performance. He needs to refine his tackling and reduce the 49 catches allowed last season to elevate his game to an elite level. Lastly, Payton Wilson must improve his run defense and find his rhythm on the field. With significant responsibilities ahead, he needs to slow down and play to his 4.43 speed while enhancing his coverage skills.  The Steelers' potential shift in focus raises questions about Roman Wilson’s future with the team following the signing of Robert Woods. A former champion, Woods brings valuable experience and the ability to block effectively, making him a reliable asset on the field. His crafty route-running and strong hands allow him to consistently find openings, but the Steelers may not need him to take on a heavy load. On the other hand, Wilson is starting from scratch after a challenging rookie season, featuring only five snaps in 2024 and struggling with injuries. Even when healthy, he was often sidelined, raising concerns about his trust within the organization. If Wilson can regain his health, he has the athletic ability to stretch defenses in ways that Woods cannot. The decision between the two could significantly impact the Steelers’ offensive strategy moving forward.

From first-round selections to unexpected second-round picks, we break down the players who failed to make an impact in the NFL.  Are the Pittsburgh Steelers slipping into the realm of a lower-tier franchise? 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 questions about their current status in the league. Mike Tomlin’s conservative game plans and subpar coordinators appear ill-suited for the evolving landscape of football in 2025, leading to frustration among fans. Meanwhile, Art Rooney's tolerance for mediocrity has set a concerning precedent, with accountability seemingly absent. Once regarded as a premier destination for players, the Steelers now face the challenge of rekindling their former glory.

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, will be critical to navigate the challenges ahead. The foundation of the Steelers' offense rests on the shoulders of these linemen, and their performance will ultimately dictate the team's success. Is Art Rooney failing the Pittsburgh Steelers? With a small staff lacking offensive and defensive analysts, critical questions are emerging about the leadership structure. There’s concern that Rooney isn’t holding head coach Mike Tomlin accountable, particularly after granting him an extension that some believe lacks merit. This inaction has led to stagnation in the coaching staff, raising doubts about the direction of the team. Furthermore, rumors suggest that Rooney may be more involved with the team's operations than he publicly acknowledges, adding another layer of intrigue to the ongoing discussions surrounding the franchise's future. Join us as we delve into these pressing issues and their potential impact on the Steelers' road ahead. Explore the options for the Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback position in 2025. From the seasoned prowess of Aaron Rodgers to the potential of rookies like Shedeur Sanders and Tyler Shough, the possibilities are intriguing. We'll also discuss the familiarity of Mason Rudolph and the veteran experience of Kirk Cousins. Plus, keep an eye on rising talents like Jaxson Dart and Will Howard in the rookie landscape.

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 last season with limited QB play. His PFF rating of 71.2 over 602 snaps highlights his strength as both a receiver and blocker, with run-blocking and pass-blocking grades of 67.2 and 68.3, respectively. After shedding 10-15 pounds, Washington looks faster and more agile, making him a prime candidate for deeper routes beyond just being a safety valve or bootleg option. Did Jerome Bettis get overshadowed by Franco Harris in the legacy of the Pittsburgh Steelers? With a remarkable career that includes over 10,571 rushing yards and 78 touchdowns in just ten seasons, Bettis certainly left his mark on the franchise. A two-time First Team All-Pro and the 1993 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, he captivated fans with his unique blend of size and agility at 5'11"" and 252 pounds. Known for being nimble, powerful at the goal line, and light on his feet, Bettis had his signature moment when he clinched Super Bowl XL in his hometown of Detroit. However, while he achieved individual accolades, his playoff success doesn’t quite measure up to Franco Harris’s legacy. Troy Fautanu is set to become a pivotal piece of the Steelers' offensive line as they look to solidify this crucial position. After playing 55 snaps in Week 2 and achieving a respectable overall grade of 64.4, alongside a commendable 69.3 in pass blocking against a formidable defensive front, his performance reflects promise. Fautanu's fit within Arthur Smith's outside run scheme highlights his athleticism, as he consistently reaches the second level and effectively engages with defenders on open-side runs. With high draft capital invested in addressing the offensive line, the Steelers need Fautanu to transform that potential into consistent performance. If he can maintain his health and continue to develop, he could emerge as the Steelers' best lineman this season, showcasing the physical mentality and talent that make him a potential star. The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense is under the spotlight as they look to reclaim their status as an elite unit. With a staggering $178.7 million allocated in 2025, representing 64% of the team's salary cap, the high-paid playmakers are expected to deliver. However, the scoring defense's 7th place finish may not reflect their actual standing, as they ranked 19th in red zone efficiency. Rushing defense is also crucial, needing to rise to the top 5 after finishing 11th last season. The addition of more athletic players like Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson is aimed at solidifying the defensive line. Additionally, the pass defense, which ranked 23rd last season, must step up as the Steelers face six of the top ten scoring offenses from 2024, including key rivals Baltimore and Cincinnati.

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 financial decision; it’s essential for the team’s future success. The Pittsburgh Steelers defense might be regarded by many as a powerhouse, but a closer look reveals some glaring weaknesses. While they excel at stopping the run in certain situations, there are significant leaks that have been exposed throughout the season. Additionally, the secondary has had its share of struggles in coverage, allowing opposing offenses to exploit mismatches. The defense often comes off as too vanilla, lacking the creativity that could come from more aggressive blitzing, twist schemes, and disguised coverages.  Should the Steelers target a cornerback in the first round of the upcoming draft? The need is clear, as the team has neglected the CB2 position for several years, relying on players like Joey Porter Jr. (32nd overall) and Cory Trice (241st overall in 2023). Memories of drafting Artie Burns at #25 in 2016 still linger, evoking some skepticism about investing in another corner at the top of the board. However, with coverage issues persistently plaguing the Steelers in an increasingly pass-heavy league, securing a solid corner is more crucial than ever. As they approach their pick, several intriguing options stand out: Jahdae Barron from Texas, Will Johnson from Michigan—who is seeing a dip in his draft stock, Trey Amos from Mississippi, and Maxwell Hairston from Kentucky. Tune in to explore whether addressing the cornerback position could change the landscape for the Steelers’ defense. As the Steelers approach the 2025 NFL Draft, the possibility of selecting an offensive tackle in the first round looms large once again. With the team having drafted tackles in the last two years, questions arise about the trustworthiness of Broderick Jones and the impact of Troy Fautanu's injury history on their decision-making process. Investing in the offensive line is crucial for long-term success, and the Steelers may not hesitate to bolster their front five once more.
