Though free safety Ed Reed in Baltimore Ravens jerseys had a history of confrontations with the guy in Hines Ward Steelers jersey and he had frequent accusations of Ward for being a cheap-shot artist, said he’s happy that the Pittsburgh Steelers’ combative wide receiver isn’t suspended for Sunday’s season opener.

Ward was arrested for driving under the influence this summer, but hasn’t been convicted.

“The DUI was something that happened, and I’m sure Hines took care of that with the courts and community service or whatever it may be,” Reed said. “It’s an unfortunate situation. You don’t want to see any player in that situation. As far as suspension goes, you never want to see a player out of the game either. It’s not even a decision of mine to comment on. “

Ed Reed also suggest that he is looking forward to play against Hines Ward.

“Whatever happened, happened. I’m just glad he’s all right, that there wasn’t anything tragic that came out of that. They took care of that situation and that’s behind them. We’re going to play football, and he’s going to come at me, and I’m going to go at him the way we do.”

Free safety who wears Ed Reed Ravens jersey and Pittsburgh wide receiver in Hines Ward Steelers jersey are obviously not the best of friends. They play for their respective teams on the field.

Howver, about an hour before Wednesday’s practice and four days prior to Sunday’s season opener between the bitter AFC North opponents, Reed showed his sympathy to Ward over his DUI arrest July 9 in his home state of Georgia and said he was glad that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell did not suspend Ward for Sunday’s showdown.

“The DUI was something that happened, and I’m sure Hines took care of that with the courts and community service or whatever it may be,” Reed said. “It’s an unfortunate situation. You don’t want to see any player in that situation. As far as suspension goes, you never want to see a player out of the game either. It’s not even a decision of mine to comment on. Whatever happened, happened. I’m just glad he’s all right [and] that there wasn’t anything tragic that came out of that because we know about situations where that has [occurred]. They took care of that situation and that’s behind them. We’re going to play football, and he’s going to come at me, and I’m going to go at him the way we do.”

Hines Ward is among Steelers four captains

The Steelers signed eight players to their practice squad today and named four team captains for the 2011 season.

The eight players are running back John Clay, tight end/fullback Jamie McCoy, wide receiver Tyler Grisham, offensive tackle Trevis Turner, guard John Malecki, defensive lineman Corbin Bryant, linebacker Mortty Ivy and defensive back Da’Mon Cromartie Smith.

The guy in Ben Roethlisberger Steelers jersey and the guy in Hines Ward Steelers jersey will serve as captains on offense, James Farrior on defense and Arnaz Battle on special teams.

Undrafted free agent tight end Wesyle Saunders survived cut day Saturday and will likely put on Pittsburgh Steelers jerseys next weekend when the defending AFC champions open the season at Baltimore.

The 6-foot-6, 270-pound Saunders hoped to be drafted but his stock took a hit when he was forced to undergo foot surgery. He went undrafted, though the Steelers were impressed enough by his athleticism to take a chance.

 “He’s got a tremendous up-side,” said coach Mike Tomlin. “He didn’t play football a year ago, but all of those were negatives in terms of him being able to show what he’s capable of. So, when you get to this point, we look at where he’s capable of going. By no means is he a finished product.”

The guy in Hines Ward Steelers jersey was one of 11 Steelers players who were filmed for roles as football players in The Dark Knight Rises — the third installment in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. In the scene, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Hines Ward receives a kickoff and begins to return it before terrorists set off a series of explosions and hold the stadium hostage. Quarterback in Ben Roethlisberger Steelers jersey was also as the quarterback for the Gotham Rogues. The production crew reportedly brought over 10,000 fans into the stadium as extras, and the filming lasted nearly 10 hours. Along with Roethlisberger and Ward, fellow Steelers Willie Colon, Maurkice Pouncey, Mike Wallace, Heath Miller, Aaron Smith, Ryan Clark, Troy Polamalu, James Farrior and Casey Hampton also appear as Gotham players. A few other noticeable Pittsburgh faces make cameos as well. Former Steelers coach Bill Cowher returns to Pittsburgh as head coach of the Rogues, with Steelers director of football operations Kevin Colbert playing his assistant.

Pittsburgh mayor Luke Ravenstahl, who played football at Washington & Jefferson College, also makes an appearance as the kicker for the visiting Rapid City Monuments.

Hines Ward underwent a road full of twists and turns

It’s been quite the offseason for future Hall of Fame wide receiver who wears Hines Ward Steelers jersey. After the Pittsburgh Steelers lost in SB XLIII to the Green Bay Packers, Ward headed out to Los Angeles to begin training for Dancing with the Stars. And there is no doubt that Ward would go on to win over legions of new fans and ultimately bring home The Mirror Ball Trophy. However, at the peak of his celebrity, Ward was brought down a few notches by a DUI arrest in LA in July. An injured finger forced him to miss the beginning of Steelers’ camp, but he’s been back in the fold and looking sharp since coming off the Physically Unable to Perform List. He caught a nifty touchdown in Pittsburgh’s convincing win over Philadelphia in last Thursday’s preseason victory. With the third preseason game approaching this weekend, Ward will have one final shot at getting himself ready for the new season before likely shutting it down in the preseason finale.

Hines Ward is still productive

Rarely has anyone ever considered the Steelers to be a powerhouse on offense, however, the Steelers’ offensive unit has bloomed into a star-studded group with the perfect balance of veteran leadership, as well as up-and-coming young talent since 2004. Among them, we can’t ignore the guy wearing Hines Ward Steelers jersey.

Last year, Hines Ward saw a dramatic drop in production, amassing 755 yards on 59 catches. Part of this can be blamed on the emergence of Mike Wallace, but we can’t deny that Hines Ward’s best years are behind him.

However, there is no doubt that Hines Ward will still be able to produce, though not as much as he has in past years.

Ward is still a terrific possession receiver, who can still find ways to get open with his crisp route running and veteran experience, which will pave the way for his teammates.

With that said, even though Ward might be not the best blocking receivers in the league, his contributions to the team are invaluable, and he will still be able to make plays in what may be his final year as a professional football player.

Hines Ward remains flexible for dance training

Wide receiver who wears in Hines Ward Steelers jersey looks as “spry” as ever, according to offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, and it’s showing on the field.

The veteran receiver in Pittsburgh Steelers jerseys enters his 14th NFL season and is coming off a pair of offseason surgeries to his knee and thumb. He even began training camp on the physically unable to perform list. But since returning to practice, 35 years old Ward looks as fresh and limber as ever.

Part of that can be attributed to his offseason training for Dancing with the Stars, which allowed him to be even more flexible. Ward had only 59 catches last season, his lowest total in 10 seasons, but that doesn’t stop him being one of Ben Roethlisberger’s most reliable targets.

He still does a good job using his body to shield off defenders to make critical third-down catches and keep the chains moving. From my point of view, it might be not a bad idea for those football players to take part in dance training.

Hines Ward’ Opinion of Head Injuries

It’s a hot topic recently that players suffer from head trauma. The one who wears Hines Ward Steelers jersey admitted that he has lied to doctors after suffering concussions.

“I’ve lied to a couple of doctors saying, ‘I’m straight, I feel good,’ when I knew I’m really not straight. But I don’t think guys really about the future when they’re playing currently in the NFL.” That’s exactly why the NFL needs standards in place to protect players from head injuries: because they won’t protect themselves. The drive to battle through those things is probably part of what makes them great players, but it’s not in their own best interests.

The evidence strongly suggests that head trauma has a profound effect on players after their football career have ended.

Too many NFL players suffer concussions, and too many of them bear the ill effects after their playing careers are over. That’s something the league can address without radically changing the game, and it’s something that needs to be taken care of. Football players like Ward need to be protected from themselves, maybe he should stop taking hits after he’s gotten a concussion.

Hines Ward highly praises Pouncey as the youngest starter

Pouncey was the first Steelers offensive rookie since Ron Shanklin in 1970 to start every game during the regular season.

Pouncey in Maurkice Pouncey Steelers jersey, the youngest starter on the Steelers, has embraced a leadership role.

“I just love everything about him,” said veteran wide receiver who wears  Hines Ward Steelers jersey. “He’s a hard worker, he’s always hustling and he’s got a little bit of nastiness to him. Being the leaders of that line, you need to have that, and I think they’re all starting to follow his lead.”

“I have seen more leadership from him,” Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said. “He’s being more vocal in his group, which is a good thing. He’s earned that. If he takes a big leap between year one and year two, that would be pretty extraordinary.”

“This year I’m so much more comfortable, especially with calling defenses,” he said. “It’s just a lot different, a lot different scenery now. I’m not too worried about what’s going on in practice, I can go out there and comfortably call stuff and go out there and perform.”

In addition to strength, Pouncey has the athleticism to get to the second level of blockers, the signature of former Steelers great Dermontti Dawson.

Pouncey said he is always prepared.”I’m an aggressive player, and I won’t back down,” Pouncey said. “As an offensive lineman, you can never show anybody a weakness.”

Hines Ward was born in Seoul, South Koreaon March 8, 1976. He has an African American father, Hines Ward Sr., and Korean mother, Kim Young He. His family moved to Atlanta and East Point, Georgia when he was one, and Hines Sr. went to Germany to serve a tour of duty. Hines’ parents divorced the following year, and after Hines Sr. convinced a family court that Kim could not raise Hines Jr. independently, because she did not speak English, Hines Jr. lived with his paternal grandmother Martha Ward until he was seven. He has become an advocate for the social acceptance of foreigners in Korea, especially mixed-race youth.

Under the guidance of coach Mike Parris at Forest Park High School in Forest Park, Georgia, Ward showcased his athletic skills as a quarterback, and was two-time Clayton County Offensive Player of the Year.
