Pittsburgh Penguins Lack of Physicality Remains Costly for Depth Chart
The Pittsburgh Penguins missed the playoffs last season for the second year in a row for a few reasons and today we focus on the roster’s depth chart. More specifically of the depth chart was the lack of toughness that plagued the team in 2023-24. Physicality is an underrated part of hockey and can change momentum.

They need to avoid getting pushed around and be more physical including a stronger net front presence.
Steelers Predicted to Sign Veteran QB to ‘Baker Mayfield-Style’ Contract

Once The ‘Tight End Of The Future’ For The Steelers, A Car Crash Sent Brent Jones To An 11-Year Career With 49ers
It is funny how much circumstances can dictate outcomes. Particularly in the NFL, where just 0.023 percent of high school football players advance to the professional level, so many outside factors can influence a player’s success or lack thereof. One three-time Super Bowl winner started his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but unfortunate circumstances forced him to pivot to a long and successful career with the San Francisco 49ers.
