Mark Kaboly@MarkKaboly_Trib“To be honest, every year I ever had was below my standards,” Polamalu said. “I have expectations from myself. I have a lot to improve on.”
Mark Kaboly@MarkKaboly_TribRamon Foster has a pulled hamstring. Might need to sit a couple days.
This is the brilliance in what they're doing. If in fact Colon's skill set is better suited for guard than tackle then he could be a brilliant one. In my opinion by the end of last season Gilbert had evolved already to an above average right tackle. I would expect continued and rapid growth in his play now that it's been decided he'll stay put at right tackle. So essentially, no matter how rapidly Adams does or doesn't develop the Steelers should be well above average in 4 out of 5 offensive line positions.

- A few other impressions from the Steelers' OTA today: Chris Rainey, the seventh-round running back, is someone you're REALLY going to like. ... Don't rule out Curtis Brown at starting corner. His athleticism is exceptional. Could use a pick or two. ... Emmanuel Sanders said his foot is healthy. We'll see. ... Encouraging to see Baron Batch on grass. The Mewelde show is a little stale. ... If Ben is happy to be changing offenses, then I'm batting cleanup for the Pirates tonight. (Wait, what?)
(someone on twitter has already corrected him about Rainey being a fifth round pick)

Joe Starkey@JoeStarkey1Lasting image from Steelers OTA today: Chris Rainey, running very fast. Wow
I always like how our QBs don't wear a special QB jersey during the camps, instead wearing the same one as everyone else.

@E_Sanders88 says new offense is built around a lot of play action #steelers
OTAs -Day One It was back to work for the Steelers on Tuesday at the first day of OTAs at the UPMC Sports Performance Complex on the South Side, and it was a packed house, with the majority of the veterans on hand.

Agreed Zu.
It is exciting to think about much improvement is possible in all areas of our offense with a solid offensive line....
On a positive note, our YPC was pretty good outside the red zone last year even with a patch work line....imagine if we get some holes this year.

Mike Bires@mikebiresSteelers RB Isaac Redman said today that TE/H-Back David Johnston is now strictly a fullback
Mike Prisuta@DVEMikeRB Isaac Redman said Haley offense is "kind of emphasizing getting the ball to the running backs a little bit more. We'll see how it goes."
Mike Prisuta@DVEMikeRedman on learning the Todd Haley offense: "It's tough on everybody. We're just trying to get the hang of it. We'll see how it goes."
I thought only Ben was have a tough time with it.
Mike Bires@mikebiresMissing today from 2nd Steelers OTA was D-end Brett Keisel, who's back home in Wyoming for a family function. He'll be here next week
Mark Kaboly@MarkKaboly_TribNT Steve McLendon is listed at 280. He told me today he is 325 -- plenty big enough to fill in until Hamp is healthy
Mark Kaboly@MarkKaboly_Trib#Steelers great Dermontti Dawson at OTAs today. Just asked receptionist if he needed a pass to go watch practice. I think it's OK, Dirt.
