#Cardinals (http://www.steelersuniverse.com/search?q=%23Cardinals&src=hash) placed rookie 6th round pick WR Ryan Swope from Texas A&M on the reserve/retired list, ending his career. Dealt with concussions.

Swope was selected in the 6th round of this year's draft, so that's already one draft pick that never made it.

Big hit to the Ravens. With Boldin and Pitta both gone they don't have anyone to throw the ball to except Torrey Smith.

Ed Dickson will be the starting TE , not as good of hands as Pitta but he has some moves after the catch for a big guy ..he will do ok ... replacing Bolden is the bigger issue in my mind and not only for the production aspect but he was clutch in big games , he could take over a game with his toughness and I do not see anybody on that roster with that same mentality or toughness ...that loss is going to haunt them perhaps more than Ray Lewis or Ed Reed IMO

Pitta will be huge he was supposed to be a big part of their offense this year and their number 1 redzone target.

Pitta has shown much more than Dickson. I think it's going to be a pretty big drop off, especially when they're running two TEs.

I said when they dumped Boldin that it was going to be a huge loss. It's even bigger now without Pitta. Boldin carried them through the playoffs last year.

no question in 2 TE sets it will be HUGE , the drop from 2-3 is more significant than from 1-2 in this case IMO , Dickson has skills not the same skills as Pitta but skills none the less and its not like they are asking him to put up Shannon Sharpe like numbers( but they may need him to ) Pitta was far from that kind of TE himself

And there aren't many more receiving options in Baltimore. At least, not proven guys. Jacoby Jones isn't that strong of a #2. And then there's a lot of unproven guys behind him. Streeter, Melette.

Camera angle and a few too many Big Macs, apparently...


Steak is a welcomed change of pace. In Green Bay, Lacy admitted, he's been splurging too much on fast food.

During off-season practices, he weighed in at 238 pounds, a high number that, believe it or not, might be kind.

Back in Geismar, over the July 4th weekend, Mom gave him hell.
"You better start running! You better start running!" Wanda yelled.

Chris Culliver (http://www.nfl.com/player/chrisculliver/2495142/profile) tore his ACL (https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/363117281426944001) on Thursday, a source who spoke to the cornerback told NFL.com's Ian Rapoport on Thursday night. An MRI confirmed the injury, which occurred during a punt return drill in practice.







It's exceedingly likely that Culliver will undergo surgery that will wipe out his 2013 season.
