After years as a partner in global firms, I've watched countless associates struggle with the billable hour for reasons that have nothing to do with their talent or work ethic. What often derails them are avoidable habits: reconstructing time at the end of the month, underbilling to appear efficient, overlawyering simple assignments, taking on too much work at once, relying on one partner for all their hours, failing to bill fully legitimate work, and assuming non-billable hours will meaningfully count toward their annual target. In this episode, I walk through the seven most common pitfalls I've seen across firms and explain exactly how they show up in day-to-day practice. These aren't theoretical issues. They're the real behaviors that cause associates to miss targets, lose credibility, or burn out. If you've ever wondered why your hours don't reflect the amount of time you know you're putting in or why the math never seems to add up, this conversation will help you identify what needs to change and how to regain control of your billable life. At a Glance 00:00 Why the billable hour creates so much anxiety 02:08 How late time entry leads to lost hours 03:41 Why underbilling backfires 04:29 How overlawyering wastes time and damages trust 05:29 What to clarify with partners before starting work 06:22 The danger of saying yes to everything 07:31 What to do when teams overload you 07:59 Why relying on one partner is risky 09:28 Legitimately billable work associates forget to record 10:15 How travel time rules differ across firms and clients 11:03 The trap of "fake billable hours" 13:59 Why unbilled time erodes your evaluation 14:27 A final reminder to examine your billable habits Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts & Spotify Do you enjoy listening to Big Law Life?  Please consider rating and reviewing the show!

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter to analyze T.J. Watt's recent play ahead of an NFL Week 14 matchup with the AFC North rival Baltimore Ravens. Is Watt's play as bad as his critics seem to think? Or has he been better than he's given credit for with sky-high expectations? Are his most dominant days behind him? Or is he reliant on teammates including Alex Highsmith, Nick Herbig, Cam Heyward, Keeanu Benton and Derrick Harmon around him to find room to make plays? And what does the Steelers defense need from him to reach the NFL playoffs? Our duo ponders those questions plus OC Arthur Smith's tight end usage. Why has Pat Freiermuth's role been so diminished? Is Jonnu Smith getting more playing time for valid reasons? Or is he just Smith's personal favorite? Why should the pass catching pecking order be behind DK Metcalf for names like Freiermuth, Smith, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson and Darnell Washington? And to what extent have the TEs failed to live up to preseason expectations? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Minnesota is the 13th state to go down this path, but its program is among the nation's most ambitious. MPR News host and politics editor Brian Bakst talks with his guests about eligibility criteria, how people can tap into the program and what they and their employers need to keep in mind.Guests:Dana Ferguson is a political reporter for MPR News.Greg Norfleet is the Paid Leave director for the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development, also known as DEED.Justin Terch is a consultant with Terch and Associates, a human resources consulting firm.

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery... I found myself reflecting on the journey that brought me here. It has been a week filled with gratitude and appreciation for what we are building at A Z and Associates, and the moments that continue to shape who I am. Last week Carla and I had the chance to sit with the Lions team for their meeting, and instead of teaching, we were asked questions. Questions about our past, about the struggles we lived through, and how we found a way to rise. It forced me to revisit what shaped the success we have today, not only in business but in our marriage, in our finances, and in our belief that we could rebuild everything we once lost. When I think about that time, I remember how consumed I was by loss. The debt, the lawsuits, the fear of opening the door, the nights I could not sleep because I was drowning in worry. I punished myself for years, sitting in a dark place where I could not appreciate my life or my family. I missed moments with my daughters because I was stuck staring at everything I did wrong. What I did not realize then was that I was only in my twenties, and my whole life was still ahead of me. Five years later everything changed. Ten years later it changed again. Fifteen years later I could barely recognize that version of me. Every problem had a solution. Every mistake had a way forward. I just did not see it because I refused to get up and keep moving. If I could go back I would tell myself to dust off and trust the process. Life gives us the chance to redeem ourselves, but only if we stop sitting in the pit. That reflection followed me into the next day as we hosted our top producers roundtable. This room was filled with new faces, people who once looked at that lunch on social media and said I want to be in that room. And they are. They stepped toward their vision. They spoke it out loud. They worked until that moment became real. We took the group through a vision plan exercise, something I personally live by. I keep an album in my phone labeled vision plan filled with images and statements of everything I want to build. When I looked at my album from two years ago, I realized I have already accomplished ninety percent of it. Some goals took months, others years, but each one reminded me of what is possible when you see it every day and work toward it with intention. A vision gets you started, but a standard keeps you going. That came up again when I sat in church and listened to the pastor speak about the standards we must set for our own lives. Standards give you the certainty that solutions exist. When I began to create the right habits, when I woke up enthusiastic and ready to compete, I found answers faster. But waking up full of fear, full of anxiety, with no discipline to counter it, only drags you deeper. The prime 3 deposits are a standard. Taking care of your body. Feeding your mind. Becoming a student of your business. Those standards pulled me out of the darkest places of my life. They allowed me to overcome things most people will never experience. Enthusiasm ties it all together. I heard a story on a podcast about how airport dogs are chosen. They are not selected based on breed. They are selected based on enthusiasm. The dogs that pace, bark, jump, and engage with people are the ones they take. Not the ones laying quietly hoping for pity. Enthusiasm fuels curiosity. Curiosity fuels action. Action creates separation. When I look at our top thirty, I see that same energy. They show up hungry. They learn fast. They execute immediately. They do not wait for the perfect moment. They create the moment through action. That attitude compounds quickly and becomes momentum. We are heading into the final five weeks of the year and I see the enthusiasm in those who are still pushing. Some agents are chasing two more deals. Some are chasing four. They want to hit the stage at Ignite. They want to finish the year strong. While the rest of the industry is slowing down, they are speeding up. And because they are moving with intention, they will get what they are chasing. Most agents take it easy during the holidays. They convince themselves that buyers and sellers disappear. But those who outwork, out market, and out focus the competition will dominate the month of December. If you treat these next five weeks with fire, you set yourself up for the strongest start to 2026. I expect next year to bring challenges. I expect competition to rise. That is exactly why I stay in the lab, sharpening every skill, adjusting every system, and preparing for what is coming. That certainty comes from the standards I live by. If you want to rise, you must build the standard long before the results show up. Reader reflection questions What standard do you need to recommit to in order to face your next challenge with certainty instead of fear Where has your enthusiasm faded, and how would your results change if you restored it What is one vision you can bring closer to reality by taking action on it today instead of waiting for the perfect moment Notable quotes "A vision can get you going but a standard is what keeps you going." "Everything has a solution but I wasted years sitting in the pit convincing myself I had none." "Enthusiasm creates separation because it turns curiosity into action." Follow A.Z.

On the Monday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christipher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo react to the NFL Week 13 loss to the Buffalo Bills at Acrisure Stadium. Did coach Mike Tomlin's team show a lack of fight in defeat? How could the effort level not be an indictment of Tomlin and his coaching staff that includes OC Arthur Smith and DC Teryl Austin? And does this team lack the one clear strength past Tomlin teams have needed to recover from long losing skids? Our duo tackles those questions, plus QB Aaron Rodgers calling out practice and film-watching habits. What does it show about the players' commitment level? Can he still get on the same page with receivers including DK Metcalf, Jonnu Smith, Roman Wilson, Calvin Austin III, Darnell Washington and Pat Freiermuth? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Deb Nevins, Director of Product Strategy at POCN, emphasizes the expanding role and importance of Nurse Practitioners and Physician Associates in the American healthcare system.  These professionals have evolved from being an extension of the physician to becoming autonomous clinicians who handle a wide range of patient care, including diagnosing, prescribing, and creating treatment plans for a significant portion of the patient population. In many cases, NPs and PAs are filling care gaps in rural and underserved areas and applying a more holistic approach to healthcare in an increasingly virtual healthcare environment. Deb explains, "POCN is an organization that has been around for over 10 years now. It started really with the mission to support nurse practitioners and physician associates and help them practice at the top of their license. And we do that multiple ways, but specifically we like to say it's a learn, earn, care, and connect model. So we provide educational insights to them. We allow them to connect with each other on our platforms, and we also bring them forward to pharmaceutical companies to help them better understand the role that they play in patient care today."   "Well, it's really interesting because both nurse practitioners and physician associates have really stepped up their responsibilities and roles since the timeframe when COVID started, where there was such a backlog. So they used to be thought of as more physician extenders or as mid-levels, but we can no longer say that. So nurse practitioners, physicians, and associates will handle everything with patient care from the initial intake, counseling, diagnosing, creating the treatment plan, prescribing medications, doing the follow-up, and ensuring that they're managing during side effects or anything like that that might happen. They support the patient with access challenges as they try to get their medications. So they basically do almost everything that a physician, an MD or a DO would do, except that they're not doing surgery or they're not doing super complex cases, but they have autonomy."  #ElevatingCare #VoicesInCare #PatientsFirstCare #POCN #WomenInHealthcare #VisibilityMatters #HealthcareLeadership #AmplifyNPs #AmplifyPAs pocn.com Download the transcript here

For Janet Cheung, every space begins with a feeling. Born in Sydney, raised in Hong Kong, and now based in Singapore, she brings a global rhythm to design. As Studio Principal at Peter Silling and Associates, Janet has spent over fifteen years shaping hospitality experiences that move people, from grand hotels and casinos to quiet cocktail bars that hum with intimacy. To her, design is emotional choreography, a song written in light, texture, and rhythm. A place, she says, should guide you like music does: through arrival and build-up, pause and reveal — each note drawing you closer, not just to the space, but to the people within it. In this conversation, Janet shares how thoughtful design can help us linger a little longer, build connection, and even heal. From the memories that spaces hold to the universal truths that transcend culture, she reminds us that behind every great interior is a story that stays with you long after you've left. [Her Story] 1. How living across Sydney, Hong Kong, and Singapore shaped her global eye for design 2. She describes every project as a song, layered, intimate, and unforgettable 3. A glimpse into some of the signature spaces she's crafted 4. Why the future of design and luxury is rooted in emotional sustainability, in how a space can comfort and heal 加入會員，支持節目： https://careher.firstory.io/join 留言告訴我你對這一集的想法： https://open.firstory.me/user/cky6u8bgpwpn00858w0xrike6/comments Powered by Firstory Hosting

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.This episode is part of my initiative to provide access to important court decisions  impacting employees in an easy to understand conversational format using AI.  The speakers in the episode are AI generated and frankly sound great to listen to.  Enjoy!Public safety, disability rights, and remote work collide in a courtroom story with real‑world consequences. We walk through how two veteran gas dispatchers, armed with a two‑year record of high performance from home, challenged a return‑to‑office mandate—and won a sweeping jury verdict that included $2 million in punitive damages.We start with the nuts and bolts: what dispatchers actually do, why their work is safety critical yet desk‑based, and how secure laptops and telephony kept operations running during lockdown. From there, we trace the pivot: accommodations granted, then revoked; medical department approvals clashing with labor threats; and the extraordinary step of cutting off paid sick leave while approving FMLA. The defense centered on public safety, citing catastrophic explosions and onsite backups, but the plaintiffs countered with hard numbers, overtime logs, and a key question: if home connectivity was truly life‑or‑death, why were no safeguards required during two years of remote operations?We unpack the legal thresholds under the ADA and New York State law, then show how the New York City Human Rights Law flips the burden, forcing employers to prove an accommodation won't work or creates undue hardship. The judge sent the case to a jury, finding genuine disputes over what counts as an essential function for a dispatcher. The verdict? A decisive rejection of the “office presence is essential” defense, substantial back pay and emotional distress awards, and punitive damages signaling reckless disregard for rights. The takeaway is practical and profound: documented remote success now sets the benchmark, and employers must bring specific, quantifiable evidence—not speculative risk—to deny accommodations.If you care about modern workplace law, unionized environments, or how post‑pandemic facts are rewriting “essential functions,” this deep dive offers a clear playbook and cautionary tale.

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.This episode is part of my initiative to provide access to important court decisions  impacting employees in an easy to understand conversational format using AI.  The speakers in the episode are AI generated and frankly sound great to listen to.  Enjoy!A top performer with a life-threatening migraine condition built a 15-year career, earned awards, and worked remotely with a documented accommodation—until a post-merger culture shift demanded office presence and everything changed. We walk you through the allegation-filled timeline: the hot leads routed to younger men in the New York office, the confrontation that preceded a stroke doctors tied to job stress, and the series of decisions that, the complaint says, turned a medical safeguard into a career liability.We dig into the mechanics of discrimination and retaliation claims: how account assignments can become tools of pretext, why a disputed Citadel loss matters years later, and what it means when a PIP leans on contested narratives despite recent high performance. You'll hear how the continuing violations doctrine can bridge older incidents into a timely hostile environment claim, and why plausibility at the motion-to-dismiss stage hinges on a minimal inference—not courtroom proof. The distinction between granting an ADA accommodation and honoring it in practice sits at the core: resources withheld for remote staff, an ultimatum to attend training in person despite written permission, and the message that office presence equals opportunity.We also examine leadership statements that allegedly acknowledged past bias, rapid promotions for younger male colleagues, and the juxtaposition of a 2023 sales excellence award with a 2024 PIP. The legal stakes are high: timeliness defenses, comparator debates, and whether penalizing a stroke survivor's accommodation can be seen as extreme and outrageous conduct. Ultimately, we ask a broader question many workplaces face now: when office-first culture collides with health, is performance enough to protect an employee whose life depends on remote work?If this deep dive helped you see the issues more clearly, follow the show, share this episode with a colleague, and leave a quick review telling us where you stand on accommodations versus culture.

Behind every great community is a mentor who showed someone the way. David Schmit, founder of Schmit & Associates, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss why thoughtful design and collaboration matter in today's housing market. Designing Walkable Neighborhoods People Love If given the chance to design his dream community anywhere, Schmit says he'd choose “a hillside in Italy.” He values close, human-scaled communities that feel personal to residents. “We used to design everything around the car,” he says. “But magic happens when scale shifts from the car to the person.” Schmit sees density as a tool for creating vibrant communities that connect residents with their environment. Instead of “endless” subdivisions, he favors smaller villages, mixed-use developments and thoughtful, pedestrian-first layouts. Putting Thoughtful Design in Place One of Schmit & Associates' signature projects is Harmony in Auburn, Georgia, a collaboration with Mayor Linda Blechinger that began in 2017. What started as a need to relocate City Hall grew into a broader vision for revitalizing the town center. Working with designer Lew Oliver and landscape expert P. Allen Smith, Schmit helped shape a community of affordable homes, surrounded by lush landscaping and unique details, including pollinator gardens and intimate green spaces. Phase two is underway, and the completed project will include nearly 300 homes priced from the $300,000s to $400,000s. In Acworth, Schmit again partnered with the public sector — this time alongside the JW Collection. On a highly visible, three-acre site in downtown Acworth, the team crafted a walkable mix of residential and commercial space. “The idea was to create this really close-knit space integrated into the downtown area with walkability at its core,” said Schmit. “There are townhomes, mixed-use buildings with commercial spaces, and there’s a restaurant that I’ll be building to put my son into business. That will be a bar with craft cocktails and elevated pub food.” Schmit also teamed with Integral Group to revive Carver Village, a long-dormant Atlanta Housing Authority site along Pryor Road. The first phase includes 227 homes priced from the $300,000s to $500,000s, and future plans include retail and build-to-rent opportunities. What Makes a Schmit & Associates Community? Across every project, Schmit says four guiding principles shape the design: Natural Environment: He wants to understand the land, including its edges, textures and trees, to better determine what opportunities are available. Human Experience: How will residents live, work and gather? Every Schmit & Associates community is developed with a “lead with people” mentality. Built Environment: Schmit emphasizes the importance of designing structures that support resident lifestyles. Whether through walkability or flexible floor plans, he develops communities that allow residents to thrive. Economics of Community: Schmit considers both private returns and public benefits such as growth, community vibrancy and long-term value before beginning a new project. Inside Five Men: A Story of Mentorship and Meaning Schmit's new book, Five Men, explores how mentorship has shaped his personal and professional life. Told in a conversational style, the book weaves Schmit's experiences with five mentors who shaped his life: his father, a high school baseball coach, a priest, the late Dr. Brisbane Brown and two career guides. Schmit said, “The story is about the essence of these relationships and what mentoring can mean in your career path.” Today, Schmit meets regularly with young professionals and encourages them to seek meaningful connections. He challenges them to ask questions while building strong relationships with those around them. Schmit said, “Ask the question, be bold and keep the word ‘relentless' in your vocabulary, which means you just don’t stop.” Tune into the full episode to learn more about upcoming Schmit & Associates' communities and how mentorship drives industry success.

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder and Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter to sort through the offense's current issues. Is OC Arthur Smith to blame for what's gone wrong during the skid of four losses in the last six games? Or is the execution simply not good enough right now? From QB Aaron Rodgers having a rough outing against the Los Angeles Chargers. To backup Mason Rudolph missing open receivers in the NFL Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears? And what are the chances Smith will be on coach Mike Tomlin's staff next season? Our duo tackles those questions, then some of Chris' grades from his film study. Is DK Metcalf's skill set just a bad fit with what the Steelers are trying to do right? Especially in comparison to George Pickens, the guy Metcalf replaced as WR1? Were safeties Jalen Ramsey and Kyle Dugger bad against Caleb Williams and the Bears offense? Or were schematics to blame for their blown coverages? Is the young offensive line led by Broderick Jones, Troy Fautanu, Mason McCormick and Zach Frazier becoming a strength? And is Yaya Black prepared to fill in for the injured Derrick Harmon this week on the defensive line? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.What happens when the biggest workplace experiment in modern history becomes admissible evidence? Five years after COVID reshaped how we work, we take a clear-eyed look at remote work's legacy—what it proved, who it protected, and why some employers are trying to forget the results. We trace the arc from lifeline to legal battleground, exposing how rigid return-to-office policies are pushing out the very people who kept companies alive: disabled workers, pregnant employees, caregivers, and older staff who thrived with reasonable flexibility.We dig into the details behind the headlines, from constructive discharge tactics and moving performance goalposts to the tech-driven surveillance that quietly captured mountains of unpaid labor. Along the way, we unpack real cases, including a federal jury award tied to remote feasibility and disability rights, and a new Manhattan complaint alleging revoked flexibility and weaponized metrics. The throughline is simple: when the work got done from home—consistently and measurably—that record matters. Blanket policies that ignore it aren't just shortsighted; they carry legal risk.Beyond the courtrooms, we talk about what ethical, effective design looks like now. Location should map to duties and outcomes, not vibes or nostalgia. Feasibility analyses, transparent criteria, and outcome-based metrics create clarity for teams while honoring the realities of health, parenting, and aging. Remote work is not a luxury for many; it is the difference between employment and exit, stability and crisis. If the experiment proved anything, it is that millions delivered under extraordinary strain—and that proof deserves respect.If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs the receipts, and leave a rating or review so more people can find it.

In this episode of Do The Work | Mindset Mastery, I talk about what it means to truly be a student of life and business. Every day is full of lessons some that we see right away and others that show up later as the results we experience. Whether it's in our health, our business, or our relationships, everything connects back to the choices we make, the awareness we have, and how willing we are to learn. Becoming a Student of Life I've always prided myself on being the student. Whether I'm talking to a brand-new agent or someone with twenty years in the business, I want to know how they did it how they got that deal, what they said, what they learned. The lessons are everywhere, but only if you're paying attention. Too often people show up thinking they already know. They stop taking notes. They stop asking questions. And that's when they stop growing. That lesson hit home during a dinner with Carla when I met a young realtor from Alabama. He had big goals and a lot going on a real estate business, a logistics company, property management, and even a master's program. But what stood out was how he never stopped talking about himself. He wasn't listening. He wasn't learning. He was chasing acknowledgment instead of wisdom. And I thought to myself, that's where so many people miss it. They think being busy means being productive. But real growth doesn't come from doing more things. It comes from mastering one thing and becoming the best at it. The Power of Intrinsic Value Being a student is what builds intrinsic value your inner worth, your certainty, your standard. It's not what you project, it's who you are when no one's watching. That's why at AZ & Associates, I teach agents to build their personal brand, to show people who they are and what they stand for. Certainty comes from doing the work daily, from sharing what you're learning, from showing up consistently. We push our agents to post videos, to share their lessons, to document their progress because that's how you build trust. But most people miss this because they think they already know. They hear the same message and assume it doesn't apply to them. Yet those same words sound completely different to the person who's actually doing the work. The difference isn't in the message it's in the level of application. Setting the Standard As we head into 2026, the standard has to be higher. Being a student means showing up, asking questions, applying what's being taught, and learning from every situation. It's not just about money or status. It's about character and trust. I only do business with people I can trust people who hold themselves to a standard. Because your business will always reflect your consistency and your character. Don't chase attention or followers. Chase growth. Build certainty. Build intrinsic value. When you do that, you attract the right people, the right opportunities, and the right clients. Conclusion Life and business are about being the student always learning, always refining, always showing up. Be the person who listens more than they talk. Take notes. Apply the lessons. Set a standard that others have to rise to. Because at the end of the day, your results will always reflect how coachable you are and how much you're willing to grow. Reflective Questions Where in your life have you stopped being the student? How can you raise your standard to build more trust and certainty? What lesson is life trying to teach you right now that you've been avoiding? Notable Quotes "A jack of all trades is a master of none. Focus on one thing and become great at it." "Certainty isn't arrogance it's knowing that it's only a matter of time before you figure it out." "Your business will always reflect your consistency and your character." Follow A.Z.

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo sort through the NFL Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. Why did coach Mike Tomlin seemingly abandon the two-high safety looks that had worked for his defense in recent weeks? What were the "schematic issues" that linebacker Patrick Queen blamed the loss on after the game? And how can Tomlin and DC Teryl Austin get this expensive unit led by T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Jalen Ramsey, Kyle Dugger, Payton Wilson and others back on track yet again. Our duo tackles those questions, plus backup QB Mason Rudolph's performance in place of injured starter Aaron Rodgers. How did Rudolph show why the No. 2 role is what he deserves? Will Rodgers be able to start next week after not dressing Sunday? And how can either QB get more out of pass catchers including DK Metcalf, Pat Freiermuth, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson, Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington?

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.The rules at work often feel invisible until they hit you in the paycheck, the bathroom break you can't take, or the termination you didn't see coming. We put a name to that operating system—employonomics—and trace how it quietly moves power, money, and risk from employees to employers through legal frameworks and everyday practices that look neutral but bite hard.We unpack how discrimination becomes profitable when arbitration buries public scrutiny, how noncompete agreements suppress wages and stall careers, and why wage theft thrives through misclassification and “exempt” titles that don't match the job. We go inside the mechanics of performance improvement plans that prepare the legal runway more than they coach, and we interrogate return-to-office pushes that serve leases over outcomes. Along the way, we connect the dots between vague HR feedback, algorithmic quotas that shrink basic dignity on the warehouse floor, and the keystone that holds it all together: at-will employment, a rule that converts managerial preference into a shield and shifts the burden to workers to prove the unprovable.There's a different path. We spotlight for-cause termination as a credible alternative that builds trust, show how Montana's model changes the incentives without freezing management, and outline practical ways organizations can trade secrecy for standards—dropping noncompetes, paying for every hour worked, and giving real due process in performance decisions. When policies stop hiding harm and start honoring fairness, engagement improves, talent sticks, and culture becomes more than a poster in the lobby.If you want a workplace that rewards merit without erasing humanity, press play, share this with someone stuck under “policy,” and add your voice.

On the Saturday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Brian Batko look at keys for NFL Week 12 against the Chicago Bears. Can DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson, Darnell Washington, Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith generate more yards after the catch? Regardless of whether Aaron Rodgers or Mason Rudolph is the starting quarterback? Is that the key to this passing game reaching expectations for OC Arthur Smith? And what can be learned from that group's early-season success? Our duo tackles those questions, then makes predictions for whether T.J. Watt, Jalen Ramsey, Cam Heyward, Joey Porter Jr., James Pierre and the defense can contain a dangerous Chicago offense led by Caleb Williams, Rome Odunze, D.J. Moore, Colston Loveland and D'Andre Swift. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
