Ben Roethlisberger: Back To the Game

Posted: 26th June 2010 by TJ Jenkins in NFL
We all know that Ben Roethlisberger has been, essentially, torn to pieces by not only the media, but by fans. And not just by opposing fans like he’s used to. Fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers have been railing him for his off the field actions as well. I’m one of the guilty parties, and for that, I must apologize to not only Roethlisberger, but ...

Why the Pittsburgh Steelers Should Run the Option

Posted: 14th May 2010 by TJ Jenkins in NFL
Gone are the days of Bill Cowher in Pittsburgh—and with him the days of an unexpected play. No more passes from the wide receivers or the running backs, no more reverses, and no more throwing the defense off of their game. I’m proposing that the Pittsburgh Steelers bring that age back. Let’s throw something at opposing defenses that stop them in their tracks and leaves them scratching their ...
It's inevitable in the NFL, sooner or later you're going to see a rookie have to step into the game and you hope and pray that the veterans and coaching staff have trained him ably. The Steelers aren't generally a team that likes to start rookies, but per usual, the best player will play in this system. No matter if they've been around for five months or five years - if ...

Why Dez Bryant Will Be the Offensive Rookie of the Year

Posted: 2nd May 2010 by TJ Jenkins in NFL
Before his suspension during the 2009 season, Dez Bryant was considered by many as the best wide receiver in college football, and was subsequently gift wrapped to the Dallas Cowboys in the 2010 NFL Draft at 24th overall. The selection was a no-brainer for the ‘Boys and Bryant will more than likely have an immediate and large impact on the receiving game as he should have no problem ...

Pittsburgh Steelers: Casey Hampton Hungry For Another Ring

Posted: 1st May 2010 by TJ Jenkins in NFL
With the world ending in 2012, strange things are beginning to happen now. Perhaps one of the strangest, outside of the Broncos trading up to get Tim Tebow in the first round, is the fact that there’s been multiple Casey Hampton sightings. I know what you’re thinking; he weighs 325 lbs. It’d be stranger for someone to NOT see him. But, the thing is that for the first ...

Pittsburgh Steelers: James Farrior On His Way Out?

Posted: 1st May 2010 by TJ Jenkins in NFL
James Farrior is currently 35 years old and truly showing it by his performance on the field. Though he had over 100 tackles last year he is still regularly abused by opposing teams’ passing attacks. With Lawrence Timmons coming into his own in the middle of the field, the signing of Larry Foote, and the drafting of at least one player that could potentially play on the inside ...

Pittsburgh Steelers: Ted Ginn Could Prove Useful

Posted: 13th April 2010 by TJ Jenkins in NFL
By: TJ Jenkins, Sports Jabber Co-Owner, Pittsburgh Steelers Blogger Last season saw Ted Ginn Jr. watch his playing time decrease in the Miami Dolphins run heavy, pass when you must, offense. Then again, his role in the system could have dropped simply because of the eight prominent drops that he had a year ago. Word around the NFL is that Ginn can be ...
With Santonio Holmes’ latest two legal incidents still under the NFL microscope, one member of the Pittsburgh Steelers has a chance to step up big time and knock the former Ohio State receiver back to the ground. His name? Mike Wallace. With talks of an NFL imposed suspension (and possibly a Rooney imposed one) still going on over Holmes’ questionable Twitter habits, the second year receiver can ...
In the first installment of the Phenomenal One’s NFL Mailbag, our friend Steve asked this: “Do you think that if Ben Roethlisberger gets a suspension from the NFL Dennis Dixon will be able to step in and keep the team in playoff contention?” Let me preface this by saying that I don’t believe that Roethlisberger is going to receive a suspension ...

Troy Polamalu: Put Up Or Shut Up

Posted: 21st December 2009 by TJ Jenkins in NFL
á Last night, we finally saw what we all wanted.á Some heart shown by the Pittsburgh Steelers team that had previously dropped five straight games to teams they should have beaten without a second thought. But, we also saw a lot of things that we didn't want to see. Things like Tyrone Carter making bonehead play after bonehead play.á Last night's game pretty much cemented my opinion that Carter does not need to be ...
