Steelers latest news and notes

Steelers | Marcus Gilbert works at LT

Pittsburgh Steelers OT Marcus Gilbert worked at left tackle during organized team activities this week while OT Mike X. Adams worked at right tackle. The two players could switch positions in the future so the team can see them at both positions.

Steelers | New blocking scheme in the works

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line coach Jack Bicknell Jr. is installing an outside zone, one-cut blocking scheme in organized team activities in favor of their old power and inside blocking scheme. The Steelers are changing their approach to take advantage of their big and nimble offensive line personnel. Pittsburgh got poor production from their running backs last year, and RB Jonathan Dwyer led the team in rushing with only 623 yards, the lowest total by a rusher in team history since Merrill Hoge ran for 810 in 1991. Bicknell had success with the blocking scheme with the Kansas City Chiefs last year. "We are going to be dedicated to the zone," RB Isaac Redman said. "We are still going to be a power team, but we are going to have this zone scheme in so we can keep the defense on its heels and keep them running."

Steelers | Justin Brown signed

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed sixth-round draft choice WR Justin Brown to a four-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Steelers | Two picks signed

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed third-round pick WR Markus Wheaton and fifth-round pick CB Terry Hawthorne to four-year deals.

Steelers | Talking deal with Emmanuel Sanders
