  • Study: The Steelers Must Break Their Opening Drive Drought

    2 days ago | steelersdepot.com | Clayton Eckert

    Slow starts have been a bugaboo for the Pittsburgh Steelers for quite some time, including no opening drive touchdowns on offense in the entire 2024 season. Another facet is zeroing in on Week One opening drives, as Dave Bryan and Alex Kozora went down the rabbit hole in a recent Terrible Podcast, learning Pittsburgh’s last one was way back in 2008. The goal today is to see how this compares to every NFL offense to gain context.

  • Study: Can Aaron Rodgers Improve Pittsburgh On 1st Down?

    1 week ago | steelersdepot.com | Clayton Eckert

    Today, I wanted to look at new Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and how he fared as a first-down passer last season. Early down success can obviously lead to many good things on offense, and the hope is to see if Rodgers’ recent resume presents any optimism (or vice versa) for the Black and Gold in 2025.

  • Study: DeShon Elliott Earned His Pay Raise

    1 week ago | steelersdepot.com | Clayton Eckert

    Days ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers gave starting strong safety DeShon Elliott a contract extension. Today, I wanted to examine and provide some reasons why he earned his substantial pay raise through his performance in 2024, his first season with Pittsburgh. The primary reason is being a sound tackler last season. Per Pro Football Focus (PFF), where I pulled all the stats for this article, Elliott ranked 45th in total snaps with 824.

  • Study: Will Aaron Rodgers Fix Pittsburgh's Red Zone Offense?

    1 week ago | steelersdepot.com | Clayton Eckert

    Continuing to evaluate new Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers, today’s topic is red zone passing. It’s a shortened area of the field where accuracy is extremely important to convert the opportunity with a trip to the end zone. The goal is to see what Rodgers offered last season in comparison to the top 25 QBs in red zone attempts. What could that mean for 2025? For starters, Rodgers had 83 attempts inside the 20, fifth-most in the NFL. So, there were ample opportunities compared to his peers.

  • Study: Can Aaron Rodgers Improve Pittsburgh's Passing Over The Middle?

    2 weeks ago | steelersdepot.com | Clayton Eckert

    Today, I’m continuing to look at elements of new QB Aaron Rodgers’ play and what it could mean for the 2025 Pittsburgh Steelers. Over the middle of the field is a part of the passing game that can exploit a defense if used properly. The downside is that many, including head coach Mike Tomlin, think turnovers happen in the middle of the field, which is valid.
