It looks like Byron Leftwich not only is going to be a good fit for the Steelers , but he also will likely play Thursday. From TCP :
Byron Leftwich waited nine months to get back on the practice field. Now that he’s done that, his first NFL action is likely only days away.
Signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, the quarterback brought in to replace injured backup Charlie Batch impressed during his first two practices with the team on Monday, so much that coach Mike Tomlin said “it looks like he’ll be able to play” Thursday when the team plays the Buffalo Bills in Toronto.
“I was impressed simply by the fact he was a quick study,” Tomlin said after a rain-soaked afternoon practice at Saint Vincent College. “He was able to step out there and step in the huddle, spew the verbiage out, get people lined up and actually get the ball around.”
Leftwich might have been a lower-tier starting QB, but he is a top-tier back-up. It w...

Last night featured one of the most important events in the world of sports.
Oh, and the Olympics held their opening ceremonies.
The event I am referring to is the annual Battle of Pennsylvania between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philthydelphia Eagles . The reason it’s important is most years, that game signifies the start of the preseason, which, by extension, means the start of the football season. And truly, what event is more important than football season?
Actually, pl... more
Steelers beat writer/loveable curmudgeon Ed Bouchette appeared on ESPN last Friday to discuss the upcoming season.
As you watch the video, I’m sure you’re thinking the same thing I am. Who’s the chick interviewing Uncle Ed? Where’s that sexy Dana Jacobson ? She may be a Michigan girl but seeing as the Detroit Red Wings crushed the Penguins to win the Stanley Cup, I see no reason for her to hold a grudge against Pittsburgh. What’s the point of employing a woman wh... more
What is going on here?
Three days into their 2008 training camp and yet more misery has struck the Pittsburgh Steelers . This time the unfortunate victim was punter Daniel Sepulveda , who was lost for the season with a torn ACL.
This calamity is strange for a number of reasons, the most obvious being the fact it was a real football injury even though it happened to a punter. This brings me to the second strange circumstance. I don’t care much about punters, except when they s... more
Well, that didn’t take long.
A little more than twenty-four hours into the Pittsburgh Steelers 2008 training camp, two key members of the defense found themselves placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list. This means they are not officially part of the roster, not permitted to work out with the team, and if they remain on the list at the end of camp, they would not be allowed to play until the sixth game of the regular season.
NT Casey Hampton was placed on the list for b... more
