Gerry and Ed Discuss the New England Game

Separated at Birth

Since the New England game is tomorrow, I thought I would break this story first. Pittsburgh Sports Buzz has just learned some incredible news about the New England Patriots coach Bill Belicheat, I mean Belichick. While working on a story for the game I came upon a photo which I'll reveal here. There has been no DNA testing to prove this but I have noticed a striking resemblance between Bill Belichick and a famous television star. I have put their pictures side by side so that the Pittsburgh Sports Buzz readers can decide for themselves. Here you go.

YOU MAKE THE CALL!

Did I get your attention?

I think I got a few people's attention with the major announcement post, but I'm hoping to hear from some more that are interested in what it will be. Send a comment or email me at stegmasterj@yahoo.com to let me know what you're thinking it will be.

Running Right

Recently Ike Taylor was discussing Mike Wallace's running form and how he doesn't even run right. He puts his arms up and just doesn't use proper form.
Wallace's response to that was, I do run right, I run right by all the defensive backs.

Speed Kills.

The answer

The answer to yesterday's post in the Pittsburgh Sports Buzz was Steve McClendon. That is the life of an undrafted NFL free agent. When you're signed to the practice squad it is never a certain thing that you will be on the practice squad the whole year. You could be dropped the next day because of the circumstances. An injury could happen and the need could arise for a player on the practice squad or an injury could happen and cause the team to release a player on the practice squad. If the team likes what they see, at the first chance the player will probably be resigned, if not the player will try to hook up with another team. Steve McClendon went through all the transactions listed in the post. He has gained some experience and looks to be a valuable player for the Steelers now. After Casey and Chris went down he has filled in at nose tackle well. Maybe McClendon is another in a line of free agent signings that the Steelers struck gold on. For now, he has been solid and allowed the Pittsburgh Steelers to continue the success of the defensive line.

Can you guess who this is?

Signed to the Steelers active roster on October 30, 2010
Re-signed to the practice squad on October 11, 2010
Released on October 7, 2010…
Signed to the active roster on October 2, 2010

Released from the practice squad on November 25, 2009
Signed to the practice squad on December 2, 2009

Answer tomorrow if you haven't figured it out already.
