LATROBE, Pa. – How does an offense that produces a 4,000-yard quarterback, two 1,000-yard wide receivers and a 1,000-yard running back be part of a team that finishes 9-7 and fails to make the playoffs?

By finishing tied for 21st in the NFL in red zone percentage............
The Steelers spent an entire period of Tuesday’s afternoon practice working on the red zone, and both Ben Roethlisbergerhttp://www.steelers.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.steelers.com/team/roster/ben-roethlisberger/54dda34e-9e43-4c57-9397-1143ddced5d6/) and Byron Leftwichhttp://www.steelers.com/assets/nflimg/icon-article-link.gif (http://www.steelers.com/team/roster/byron-leftwich/1c056731-bcbb-4953-acad-047f272bf685/) looked sharp in the drill.............................

The other highlight of the practice was the work Daniel Sepulveda did on kickoffs. This was the second time at camp where Sepulveda has impressed with his ability on kickoffs, and Tomlin said he will get work at it in the Saturday game against the Giants.

“I was very impressed with him, not only with distance, but also with ball placement and hang-time,” said Tomlin. “He’s got a skill-set that lends itself to potentially helping us in that area. We were prepared to explore it last year, but we put the brakes on it because he was coming off a knee injury and we didn’t know how that double-duty would wear on him over the course of an entire football season. He’s a viable candidate in that area, at least to share the duties with Jeff (Reed).”

Huzzah!

Tomlin also said Danny will get a chance to kickoff against the G-Men.

Danny is also a better tackler than Towel Boy Skippy.
