Cowboys are preseason favorites for SB, if no injuries...

They will win the NFC East but for the NFC Seahawks/Cardinals/Packers/Panthers are stronger IMO.

Getting concearned about Steelers back up QB's. Gradkowski would have been great fit but it's pretty obivous he is injury prone and needs to be let go. Laundry Jones 4 INTS right now. Vaugh is not ready. May need to find some expeirince QB to replace Gradkowski.

Laugh all you want over the most over exaggerated so-called dirty play. Last time I checked Carson Palmer is still in the league having a pro bowl career so stop acting like it was a career ending injury. And yeah Kimo von Oelhoffen name does ring a bell to Carson Palmer, they are good friends in real life

Truth! I'm actually surprised any fan not named a Bengals fan would even bring it up. Same exact play happened against Tom Brady one year on opening day against KC that cost him that season. Big Ben got hit in the knee this past season by a Rams DB that cost him a few games. No Steelers fans cried sour grapes. I also love when people claim that the Bengals would have won if Carson wouldn't have gotten hurt as though Big Ben has never bought the Steelers back from a double digit deficit especially since it was early in the first quarter. Carson had a few years to get the Bengals to the Super Bowl following that season and it didn't happen. [Edited 8/18/16 17:02pm]

Yeah that one looked pretty dirty. Another problem Bengals had was Chad Johnson, a great WR if he wanted to but turn into a clown attention whore.

Steelers hosting ex-Saints CB Keenan Lewis

The Pittsburgh Steelers continue to turn over every rock to improve their secondary.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reports the Steelers are hosting veteran cornerback Keenan Lewis on Tuesday. It's the first visit for Lewis since he was cut by the New Orleans Saints last week.

The Times-Picayune first reported the visit.

Lewis, a former third-round pick, spent his first four years with the Steelers, starting 16 games in 2012. He then left for New Orleans in 2013.

The Saints cut Lewis due to injury concerns. The 30-year-old corner played in just six games last season and sat out workouts this offseason.

Lewis contended over the weekend that he was cut because he didn't get along with defensive coordinator Dennis Allen. Coach Sean Payton said Monday that Lewis not being on the field was the reason the team released the corner.

The Steelers had one of the worst secondaries in the NFL last season, a group Mike Tomlin has attempted to improve this season. At this stage of his career, it's uncertain what Lewis can bring to the table, due to injures, but the Steelers will at least take a gander at the veteran.

Meh. I always thought he was a little overrated but damn sure better than Cortez Allen

and Antwon Blake sorry ass. Some Steeler fans lost their damn minds when left for New Orleans in free agency a few years ago and blamed management for it but Keenan actually took less to go play for his hometown Saints and it didn't help he was in Mike Tomlin's doghouse one year for being a little too arrogant for his own good. He was also injured his first year with the Steelers.

He's decent and makes a few plays but it wasn't like he was a sterling corner. Willie Gay is even better at this point in his career cerebral wise but Lewis may be more athletic if healthy.

I guess it won't hurt to kick the tires and he knows the system which further tells me the team

doesn't feel 1st round pick Artie Burns is ready to contribute right away.
