2007-08-12 03:14:00 PACKERS.......13 STEELERS.......9 Boxscore The home debut of Head Coach Mike Tomlin was a tale of two halves. The first half held all the scoring for the Steelers, as well as all the defense. The team lost all its momentum at the half. All aspects of the Steelers game were lackluster in the second half, though there were a few bright spots.

Camp Update: Offensive Line Shake-Up
2007-08-08 17:31:00 In practice Tuesday Steelers RT took reps as a starter, replacing Max Starks on the line. In return Starks took snaps as the second team left tackle. The move was not to demote Starks, but to get him some experience on the left side. And judging from the game on Sunday, he needs some work. In one play on Sunday, Starks completely whiffed on a block and the play resulted in a loss of yards. Also, More About: Update , Camp , Line
