Arians has agreed to become the Colts new OC.

"Roster move: Hoke and Dwyer go on IR. LB Mortty Ivy, SS Damon Cromartie-Smith added to 53."

- The Steelers make the expected move of placing NT Chris Hoke on IR following his announcement of neck surgery in recent days. The Dwyer move is more interesting, not many of us knew his injury was that serious.

Every time the subject of pep talks comes up, I immediately think of something from my formative years as a reporter. It involved a Steelers cornerback named Lee; that was his first name and I’ll withhold his last name. Anyhow, at halftime of a game in Houston that the Steelers were losing, Lee decided to give a pep talk to his teammates. Chuck Noll was in one of his first seasons as Steelers coach. In the middle of Lee’s pep talk, Noll tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Lee, sit down and shut up." Noll then turned to his team and said, "This is what we’re gonna do and this is how we’re gonna do it." Joe Greene told me that at that exact moment, he knew Noll was the right guy for the job. Players don’t want a pep talk, they want a plan, and coaches don’t want promises, they want performance.

The Birds' Book on Ben

"He doesn’t scramble to throw it short, or hit a check-down, or dump it to a back. He’s scrambling to throw it deep. So it’s really our deep players – whether it’s half-field coverage or quarters coverage – it’s important that our safeties are back."
Gus Bradley, Seahawks Defensive Coordinator

"Without fanfare, the Steelers waived WR Limas Sweed off their injured list this week without giving him an injury settlement."
