CAM Heywood split the responsibility





Mike Mitchell and the longest Will Allen with bad Angle in Steelers 20-16 loss to the Giant in metropolitan stadium on Saturday night. And coach mike tomlin pointed out that the secondary let Giant run guard Rashad Jennings, what should be a good harvest jammed into a 73 yard touchdown. However, Cameron Heywood pile due to its own fault caused by the big play Steelers defense last season.
Heyward do not maintain his gap, Jennings, through a huge hole after the guards, broke into the open areas and no more than cornerbacks Cortez Allen and William gay end area.  “I’m fully responsible,” Heyward told Steelers TV after the preseason opener. “I didn’t get it done.” Tomlin didn’t quite see it the same way as the Steelers’ defensive end. “We’ve got to get it on the ground in the secondary. They’ve got to be 8, 10, 12-yard runs, not 78-yard runs,” the eighth-year coach said. "This is clearly a gap - integrity is the core problem, but I'm more concerned about is that when these things happen, we try to reduce explosion."
Heyward, however, refused to give himself even the slightest pass for Jennings’ touchdown.  Or dismiss it as knocking off the rust in a meaningless game.  “We can’t say it’s only preseason,” said Heyward, one of the Steelers’ defensive leaders. "We’re treating every game like we want to win. I put a lot of pressure on myself, and I messed up for this team. It won’t happen again.”

Johnny not on Pittsburgh Steelers' radar



pittsburgh steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers As polarizing a figure as Johnny Manziel is, he can probably get Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers fans to agree on one thing. Pittsburgh Steelers The majority of fans on both sides would love to see him start Sept. Pittsburgh Steelers 7 when the Browns visit Heinz Field for the regular-season opener between the bitter rivals.The Steelers season-ticket holders would pay double to see the quarterback who reached celebrity status before throwing his first NFL pass receive a baptism/comeuppance from Dick LeBeau’s defense. Browns fans might be just as eager to see Manziel in Pittsburgh, though obviously for a different reason. The Browns have gone through quarterbacks at an alarming rate since the NFL returned to Cleveland in 1999. They desperately need someone to stop the cycle, and Browns fans might want to see if Manziel can conjure up the magic that made him a legend at Texas A&M right from the start even if the circumstances for his NFL debut in Pittsburgh could be a recipe for disaster. Manziel, speaking to Browns reporters at the NFL Rookie Symposium, said his goal is to start this season. But the former Heisman Trophy winner conceded that he is still well behind Brian Hoyer, who will enter training camp as the No. 1 quarterback. I asked a handful of Steelers defensive starters before the end of offseason practices whether they would like to see Manziel under center for the season opener, and I didn’t get much more than a collective shrug of the shoulders. Pittsburgh Steelers “It don’t matter,” veteran cornerback Ike Taylor said. Pittsburgh Steelers “We’re trying to win ballgames. It doesn’t matter who is at quarterback.” Mike Mitchell agreed. “To be honest I just want someone that’s going to throw me a pick,” Pittsburgh Steelers the Steelers free safety said. “I don’t really care who it is. Pittsburgh Steelers I want the quarterback that’s the most confident, the most prepared, so when I take it from him, no excuses. That’s what I want every week.” Pittsburgh Steelers Defensive end Cameron Heyward played his college ball at Ohio State, so he can understand, Pittsburgh Steelers even if only to some degree, the scrutiny Manziel is already under in the Buckeye state. “It’s tough. Everybody’s looking for him to mess up,” Pittsburgh Steelers Heyward said. “He’s a great player. I wish him the best.” Pittsburgh Steelers So, would Heyward like to get the first crack at Johnny Football, so to speak? Pittsburgh Steelers “Whoever’s in there I’m going to have fun either way,” Heyward said with a smile, Pittsburgh Steelers.
