Cowher was not available for comment Saturday, when the Steelers do not have any media availability except for the TV and radio networks covering that weekend's game.
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher was a "bonehead" as a Cleveland Browns assistant coach in the 1980s and knew nothing about coaching defensive backs, former NFL safety Tim Fox said on a weekly TV show in Boston.
While previewing Sunday's Patriots-Steelers game in Pittsburgh on a NESN sports channel show, Fox said he wasn't impressed with his brief association with Cowher when the Steelers' coach was in the early years of his NFL coaching career and Fox was ending his playing career.

After nine seasons in the NFL, the first eight with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Stewart is happy to still be in the league and on a team that has high expectations, even though he was brought in to back up second-year starter Kyle Boller.
Stewart, 31, is two seasons removed from leading the Steelers to the AFC championship game and earning an invitation to the Pro Bowl.
Stewart was cut by the Steelers and spent last season with the Chicago Bears before being released in March and signing a one-year contract with the Ravens in June for the veteran minimum of $760,000.

One of Dan Rooney's greatest strengths during his 45 seasons with the Steelers has been a knack for relating to his players.
Dan Rooney was only 5 when he was introduced to pro football by his father, Art, the Pittsburgh' Steelers' founder and patriarchal leader.
However, Dan Rooney had been running the Steelers for years, without the title, and it was he who hired a relatively unknown assistant with the Colts, Chuck Noll, as the Steelers' coach in 1969.

Harris was a quiet, serious, painfully slow-moving personality who shifted into a faster, more-competitive mode when he pulled the Steelers' black helmet over his dark, bearded face.
It was a fitting culmination to a storybook 1,055-yard rookie season that inspired formation of "Franco's Italian Army," a Steelers rooting section.
He also was versatile enough to catch 307 passes over 13 seasons (12 with Pittsburgh, one with Seattle), and will be remembered for the "Immaculate Reception" he made to defeat the Oakland Raiders in a 1972 first-round playoff game -- the first postseason win in Pittsburgh history.

 Monday Night Football
PITTSBURGH — A familiar sight will be missing when the Pittsburgh Steelers play their first Monday night home game in two years.
The Steelers won their last eight Monday games there and were 18-7 overall on Mondays, while going 182-73 in Three Rivers, which was imploded in February as construction on adjacent Heinz Field neared completion.
This uncharacteristic loss of their homefield advantage is one reason the Steelers are eager to make Heinz Field into what Three Rivers was until a few years ago — loud and unfriendly, a stadium in which opposing teams find it difficult just to hear, much less to win.

Washington had fewer sacks with the Colts over the last three seasons than Gildon, but also had fewer sack opportunities in Indianapolis' 4-3 defense than he would likely get in Pittsburgh's 3-4.
Gildon is due to make $3.65 million this season, a relatively high salary by Steelers standards for a player whose production has dropped significantly over the last two seasons.
Free-agent linebacker Marcus Washington, who had 16 sacks the last three seasons for Indianapolis, wrapped up a two-day visit Thursday in Pittsburgh.

 Steelers' defense applying pressure - except on the coach (phillyBurbs.com)
PITTSBURGH - For a man who spends hours a day teaching his Pittsburgh Steelers defensive players all about pressure, Dick LeBeau doesn't seem to feel any himself.
LeBeau, the primary designer of the widely copied Blitzburgh zone-blitz defense of the mid 1990s, was rehired by coach Bill Cowher to bring back the very pressure that once was the trademark of the Steelers' defense.
Maybe that's why LeBeau seems to be enjoying himself so much this season, and not just because the Steelers are 4-1 going into Sunday's game at Dallas and his defense is a very big part of that turnaround.

Noll committed the Steelers to building through the draft, and last season every player on the Steelers' roster was a home-grown product - either selected in the draft or signed as a free agent.
It's funny Noll should make a statement like that, because it's almost the same thing Dan Rooney said about the Steelers' head coach, and at the time they were about 1,000 miles apart.
When Noll took over, Pittsburgh had had only four winning seasons in 19 years, and had won only 18 games in the previous five seasons.

 A name in the game - The Boston Globe
Barring a trick play or unforeseen mishap, Willie Parker, a full career behind Jerome Bettis in Hall of Fame credentials, should be the Pittsburgh Steelers' first ballcarrier in the AFC Championship game at Denver.

Parker's speed is something the Steelers haven't had, and it could make them more dangerous this time of year.

Before the game, Bradshaw will visit the Steelers locker room and stand at midfield among the Steelers captains for the coin toss.
