Filed under: Steelers , AFC North Two weeks ago, Willie Reid was thought to be battling for a roster spot, now could he possibly start the season as the No. 4 receiver? It's still unlikely, but as Limas Sweed keeps dropping passes, it's a fair to ask if the Steelers can depend on a rookie who has dropped three passes in the past two weeks. While Sweed is watching his chances slip through his fingers,...

Filed under: Steelers , AFC North , Pittsburgh As Allen Rossum turns punt return after punt return into negligible gains, Willie Reid continues to stand on the sideline in sweats. But thanks to Santonio Holmes injury, the Steelers will take the wraps off of the second-year wide receiver tonight. He won't get to return punts or kicks, but he will likely see plenty of time as a fourth wide receiver....

No. Was it watching Gary Russell and Verron Haynes tote the rock a combined 34 times? Nope, not that either. It was my pregame dining experience, which had a distinct...
