Steelers must emphasize the run

By Bob Smizik | Saturday 1:30 p.m. There are no sure things in the National Football League. But the defending Super Bowl champion, coming off a defeat to a team it once owned, playing against a team that is 8-33 over the past three seasons is about as...

Is a seventh Lombardi in the works?

By Bob Smizik | Thursday, 12:20 a.m. With the Steelers sitting at 6-2 and the most recent Lombardi Trophy in their possession, here‘s a question worth pondering: Are we in the midst of another dynasty? Or if that’s too much for you to take...

The Steelers need more than Ben

By Bob Smizik | Monday 12:15 a.m. The conventional wisdom of the day seems to be that the Steelers were merely playing down to the level of competition, which is why they did not beat the Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns by, say, 50 points. Sorry, I’m...

Loss of Smith not fatal

By Bob Smizik | Wednesday, 8:15 a.m. The rotator cuff injury that will sideline defensive end Aaron Smith for the remainder of the season is a staggering but not fatal blow to the Steelers chances of repeating as Super Bowl champion. Smith will be keenly...

Running back no easy call for Tomlin

By Bob Smizik | Wednesday 7 a.m. The conventional wisdom is that at some point in this season, perhaps as soon as Sunday, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin must make a choice at running back where he has second-year pro Rashard Mendenhall, coming of the best...

Redman released again: Here's why

By Bob Smizik | Tuesday 8:30 a.m. It remains to be seen if the Steelers decision to release rookie running back Isaac Redman will receive as much attention as their decision to cut him in the pre-season and then keep him on the practice squad for the...

Despite scare, Steelers are back

By Bob Smizik | Monday 1:05 a.m. For the first 40 minutes it was almost perfection. For the final 20 it was an actual nightmare. So what does the Steelers 38-28 win over the San Diego Chargers last night -- a game in which they led by 28 points late in...

Has complacency set it -- again

By Bob Smizik | Tuesday, 12:30 p.m. Through three games, these are not the same Steelers who won the Super Bowl. They’re not the same defensively, not the same offensively. They’re 1-2 and looking at another tough game -- perhaps another loss...

RB controversy: Parker or Mendenhall?

By Bob Smizik | Tuesday, 12:30 a.m. There’s nothing quite like a defeat, particularly to the Super Bowl champions in the second game of the season, to stir things up. Gone are the days when everything was running so smoothly that the Steelers were...

Not all dark after loss to Bears

By Bob Smizik | Monday 12:15 a.m. It looked easy, and I’m not talking about those Jeff Reed field-goal attempts. I'm talking about how well the Steelers opened the game against the Chicago Bears yesterday with Ben Roethlisberger having his way...
