Wednesdays used to be almost as memorable on the South Side as Sundays on the North Side.
Wednesday was the day the Steelers practiced third downs, the first-team offense against the first-team defense, in a best-of-five showdown for platoon supremacy.
And when coordinator Dick LeBeau's defense engaged coordinator Ken Whisenhunt's offense, it got competitive.

"It turned into a game sometimes, especially when we had pads on." Continue
It was that intense, that heated, that meaningful, even if it was just another practice.
