PITTSBURGH, Pa. Al Jefferson Jersey . - Pittsburgh Steelers backup tight end Michael Palmer has as many touchdowns this season as veteran Heath Miller after his one-yard score helped the Steelers to a 17-9 win over Jacksonville last weekend.Yet Palmer just laughs when asked if theres a chance he can one day catch Millers career total, currently at 41 and counting.Nah, that was only my fourth, Palmer said. (And) I was the first read on that play. One yard to go and I caught it for a touchdown. . To catch a touchdown in the NFL, its always exciting, no matter how many you have. Ill bet Heath is just as excited for each one of his.Miller, arguably the best tight end in Steelers history, isnt shocked that the little-used Palmer is making the most of his limited snaps for the Steelers (3-2), who play at Cleveland (2-2) on Sunday.He played some ball in Atlanta (2010-12), so hes been around, Miller said. Its no surprise to anyone in this locker room that hes been playing so well. But he probably told you about Atlanta and his time with (Tony) Gonzalez.When it was confirmed that Palmer did indeed mention Gonzalez, the usually reserved Miller yelled across the locker room to backup tight end Matt Spaeth to tell him the news.If I have to answer any more questions about Palmers touchdown last week, hes going to owe me, Spaeth said.When told that Palmer also mentioned the two of them, Miller didnt appear to be too impressed.Oh, at least he did that, Miller said. Do you have it on tape? Did he at least say some good things about us?Palmer certainly paid his due respect to Miller and Spaeth, the Steelers top two tight ends. And thanks to solid blocking skills and special teams play, Palmer has earned more playing time alongside those two.Part of it is that Ive been here for more than a year now, and the coaches are more comfortable with me, Palmer said. And Im more comfortable in the system, so its just up to me to take advantage of it anytime they give me an opportunity. And when all three tight ends are in there, it gives our offence a lot of options.Ben Roethlisberger obviously has confidence in Palmer, because the Steelers quarterback tried to hit him for another touchdown Sept. 21 at Carolina. The Panthers defensive back had tight coverage and appeared to deflect the pass in the end zone before it glanced off Palmers hands.One area where Palmer also has not fallen short on the Steelers is his beard. Defensive end Brett Keisel sports the ultimate in facial hair. Palmer called Keisel his beard mentor.Thats not true, Keisel said. His is coming in pretty good. Its not as good as mine, but its getting there.Just like Palmers game.Notes: Despite practicing on a limited basis Thursday and Friday, LB Ryan Shazier (right knee) has been ruled out, along with CB Ike Taylor (right forearm) and S Shamarko Thomas (hamstring). . Keisel, Miller, FS Mike Mitchell and SS Troy Polamalu a€” who were given days off this past week a€” are ready to go.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Mark Jackson Jersey . -- Floridas smothering defence returned to form just in time for the third-ranked Gators to keep their winning streak going. Reggie Miller Jersey . Although the deal cannot be made official until the free agent moratorium period is lifted on July 10, Patterson has agreed to a three-year, $18 million extension to remain in Toronto, sources confirm to TSN. http://www.officialpacersprostore.com/kids-cory-joseph-pacers-jersey/ . The former Edmonton Oilers defenceman was with the St. Louis Blues in training camp on a professional tryout. Whitney, 30, had four goals and 13 points in 34 games with the Oilers last season.TORONTO – Tim Gleason and his wife, Candice, woke up on the first day of 2014 and made a life-altering decision that would send the 30-year-old and his family to the city of Toronto. Gleason, who had spent eight seasons in the Carolina Hurricanes organization, decided to waive his no-trade clause and switch teams for the first time since 2006. "We contemplated it for a week or a couple weeks on and off and we just looked at each other and said enough is enough," Gleason explained, "because its an everyday thing of handling whether they want you there or they want you out, if it was better for my career to move on. We woke up and just said weve got to do it and so thats what we did." Gleason was sent to the Maple Leafs in exchange for John-Michael Liles and defensive prospect, Dennis Robertson. He had been a member of the Hurricanes since the fall of 2006 when he was flipped from the L.A. Kings, alongside Eric Belanger, in a deal for now-Columbus defender Jack Johnson and Oleg Tverdovsky. His state of being was considerably different back then. He wasnt married for one and didnt have three young kids, two girls and a boy, to think about. Nor did he own the no-trade clause which allowed him to determine where he wanted to continue his career – there were a handful of teams that he was considering. "Theres a lot more that has to do with [it] than just picking up yourself and going," said Gleason, who averaged 16 minutes this season, down from nearly 20 per game last season. "You want to go to a place where theres an opportunity, obviously and a place where you can fit properly." That fit had evidently run its course with Kirk Muller and the Hurricanes, the end seemingly beginning during a Sept. 21 preseason game in Montreal. Gleason squared off that night with Jarred Tinordi and suffered a concussion from the scrap. His role, upon return from the injury, dwwindled with rookie Brett Bellemore assuming increased opportunity from the Carolina coaching staff. Thaddeus Young Jersey. A fiery presence, who better fits the Randy Carlyle mold than Liles, Gleason is hoping to reignite his career in Toronto. "Its kind of a laid-back situation there," said Gleason of Raleigh, North Carolina, "easy-living, good weather, beautiful place to play. But hockey career-wise, it was a decision that had to be made. This is the hockey place where you want to play." With an injury to Carl Gunnarsson (elbow) and the embarrassment of a 7-1 loss to the Rangers on Saturday evening, a door has opened into the Leafs lineup for the Michigan native. He is likely to step right onto the teams top pairing with Dion Phaneuf. "Were asking Tim Gleason to play the way hes accustomed to playing," Carlyle said of the former Windsor Spitfire last week. "Hes etched out an NHL career being a strong, physical defensive defenceman. We think that he has something to offer to our group." Carlyle was suitably displeased with the performance of his group in its most recent lopsided defeat and singled out the lack of compete as a trait to be improved upon heading into Tuesdays game against the Islanders. "Were not going to have success unless were prepared to go in and win our share of battles in those areas and quite frankly, we didnt do enough of it in the last game," said Carlyle, who is considering a juggling of the entire defence for the game against New York. Described by Leafs general manager Dave Nonis as "very competitive" on the day of the trade, Gleason should, at the very least, be of some help in that regard. It remains to be seen how much aid he can offer to a club thats struggled badly to defend all year and especially of late. The Leafs have allowed 40 shots or more in four of the past five games, including 50 against the Rangers on Saturday.
