Coach Mike Tomlin said the 2010 season ultimately will determine what the Steelers were able to accomplish during training camp.

Toning it down
Antonio Brown hopes for a repeat performance after catching three passes for 84 yards and a touchdown against the Lions.
What will be different, the rookie wide receiver said, is how he acts after making a play.
Brown earned the nickname "Rod Tidwell" from his fellow wideouts because of his after-the-catch theatrics against the Lions.
He attributed those to the excitement of playing in his first NFL game.
"I'm a humble kid," Brown said. "You'll see a lot more of me throwing the ball back to the ref."


I guess the vets told him the same thing I was thinking. "Good job, kid. But make the team before you start the showboating."

Troy's knee made it through camp - that's a good start right there.

Yep. And although Willie's Achilles tendon happened before camp started, every other player made it though without a major injury. Now let's hope they get through the preseason in as good of shape. :drink:
