The Steelers’ season ended over seven months ago and a new one is about to begin with the Steelers prepping for their final preseason game. Of course, there’s plenty of news coming out of Latrobe. BTSC continues their recap of the past week’s events for our readers. So, let’s all take a look at the week in the ‘burgh together.
Sunday 9/18
Final Score: #Steelers offensive ineptitude equate to a 17-14 loss to Patriots https://t.co/oHvVdzVaUx

The Heinz Corporation is now owned by Kraft, in a way the Steelers are too.
Monday 9/19
One of the more unusual parts of a key play Sunday in which Gunner Olszewski muffed a punt and the Patriots’ Brenden Schooler recovered … was that the Steelers didn’t line up anyone opposite Schooler.

Free release … unimpeded run down the field … in position for big recovery pic.twitter.com/lPfozVOJfw
Unusual? I’d like to add some un-ions of my own. Uncovered! Unimaginable! Unacceptable! Uninspired! Uncle!
Eight quarters into the new season, and frustration has already set in for a Steelers’ offense that has put up only two touchdowns in two games.

According to Trubisky, there were arguments in huddle about the play calling.@MarkKaboly has more⤵️https://t.co/3ULJL8krKh pic.twitter.com/Ng9CUPuOL9
Millennials are quick with a mutiny these days.
Whoa. @HamptonBeerPGH not playing around. They got opinions on the offensive coordinator. pic.twitter.com/HHEutqSkqM

Are scapegoats a good marketing tool to sell beer?
Browns’ HC Kevin Stefanski already has ruled out DE Jadeveon Clowney (ankle), DE Chase Winovich (hamstring) and TE Jesse James for Thursday night’s game vs. the Steelers.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) September 19, 2022
I’ve seen this movie before. The Browns beat the Steelers in the playoffs with major players, including Stefanski on the Covid list.
Tuesday 9/20
James Daniels this season:
— PFF PIT Steelers (@PFF_Steelers) September 20, 2022
⚫️ 78 pass-blocking snaps
0 pressures allowed
⚫️ 84.1 pass-blocking grade
One of just five OL with 50+ snaps yet to allow a pressure this season

Hmmmm. Giving new players time to adjust is an interesting concept.
We have signed WR Jaquarii Roberson to the practice squad and released CB Mark Gilbert from the practice squad. @BordasLaw https://t.co/gLL7ethoLz
— Pittsburgh Steelers (@steelers) September 20, 2022
Welcome back, Mr. Roberson. But can the Steelers quit exposing Mark Gilbert to other teams? This guy is my Redmen.
Six former #Steelers are Modern-Era Nominees for the @ProFootballHOF Class of 2023.https://t.co/7RNlcFa181

I still think that Hines Ward is the most legit Hall of Famer on this list, but will still have to wait a while. James Harrison has a shot. Maybe he should visit voters’ houses like he did in that FanDuel “Closer to the Game” commercial.

Todd Haley may be a bit crazy, and a whole lot bitter. But I don’t think that he’s wrong.
Wednesday 9/21
Former Pittsburgh and Cleveland cornerback Joe Haden is retiring and will sign a one-day contract to retire as a Brown, per sources. His agent, @DrewJRosenhaus , confirmed his client’s decision. pic.twitter.com/kq9xwv7Ohb
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) September 21, 2022
I wonder if Haden feels jilted by the Steelers. The Browns never gave Joe Walter Haden a $22 Million extension like the Steelers did, unless this 1-day contract is worth that much. Cleveland has been known to spend foolishly. Hmmmmmmm.
#Titans are signing safety Andrew Adams off the #Steelers’ practice squad and onto their active 53, per source.
— Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) September 21, 2022
Adams has amassed 35 career starts with the #Giants and #Bucs — totaling 7 INTs, 23 passes defensed and 2 FF. pic.twitter.com/bemu5S1VlZ
As always in these situations...Andrew Adams, we hardly knew ye.
We have signed DB Quincy Wilson to the practice squad. @BordasLawhttps://t.co/PgVooESS3j
— Pittsburgh Steelers (@steelers) September 21, 2022
When I was a kid, the show Quincy starring Jack Klugman as a crime-solving medical examiner was decent, but scary sometimes. I guess you can say that about any practice squad signing. I don’t think Mr. Wilson moonlights in morgues though.
Both Myles Garrett & Joel Bitonio expected to play Thursday.

To misquote Sylvester Stallone in one of the Rocky movies, “I was hoping they wouldn’t show.”
#Steelers S Damontae Kazee was suspended for the next 3 games for violations of the NFL’s substances of abuse policy.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) September 21, 2022
Damn-ontae!!!!!
Thursday 9/22
FINAL: Inconsistent #Steelers fall to Browns 29-17 in prime time https://t.co/B6rJ2oqMMz
— BTSC Steelers (@btsteelcurtain) September 23, 2022
I remember when “Here We Go” was a war cry. Now it’s said with a drawn-out sigh.
Asked Mike Tomlin if he considers making a change a QB or playcallers in the minibye
— Brooke Pryor (@bepryor) September 23, 2022
Tomlin: “definitively no.”
Does Mike Tomlin need to sleep on this? Is it dedication or defiance?
Eleven days after his pec injury, #Steelers star T.J. Watt is out here running sprints and going through an extended pregame workout. pic.twitter.com/W2tTj3iIUm
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) September 22, 2022
This dude T.J.........
All I can say is “Wow!!!!”.
Friday 9/23
Say hello to your newest divisional foe.

I don’t foresee this as being fun.
This was the significant week that was for the Steelers, mixed-in with my black-and-gold loving life. I’m sure next week will be full of Steelers happenings as well, so we’ll have to do this again. Have a great week, but better yet have a BAD one.
