Podcast appearances and mentions of Brian Flores

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV. The Pittsburgh Steelers made several coaching staff changes by adding Brian Flores as a defensive assistant, Pat Meyer as offensive line coach and Frisman Jackson as wide receivers coach under Mike Tomlin. But which of them will have the biggest impact on the 2022 season and beyond? Flores is an obvious choice with his pedigree and how closely he works with Devin Bush and Myles Jack while also helping across the defense. But Meyer has a very important task to fix the Steelers offensive line. Comments from Kevin Dotson, James Daniels and other Steelers linemen note how his experience has brought different upsides than they've had in previous coaches. Frisman Jackson's approach appears to be more hands-on with the Steelers receivers, and that could help Chase Claypool, Diontae Johnson, George Pickens and Calvin Austin III set a new tone for the team. Also, a caller asks what it would take for Najee Harris to make second year leap like Jonathan Taylor did for the Indianapolis Colts. Is it more about Harris' improvement? Or does the rest of the offense just have to catch up? Brian Flores / Pat Meyer / Frisman Jackson: Who's the Most Important New Steelers Assistant Coach?

Jeff Mans presents his annual “NFL team of the year” for 2022 and he has chosen the Miami Dolphins. Come in and listen to why he disagreed with the firing of Brian Flores after last season but upon inspection of the “new” system here in Miami, he has decided to buy in. Mans breaks down how the front office has made a number of good moves over the last four years to produce a high-quality roster that has produced many pro-bowl caliber players on both sides of the football. He breaks down what new head coach Mike McDaniel's wide zone rushing attack and west coast pass patterns will do for Tua Tagovailoa, Chase Edmonds, and Jaylen Waddle. Miami made a lot of major upgrades this offseason including a completely rebuilt offensive line and the addition of one of the fastest and most productive wide receivers in the NFL in Tyreek Hill. All of this and more has Jeff Mans Digging The Dolphins in 2022!

The Pirates were swept in Tampa Bay over the weekend. Peter Gammons gave Pirates fans something to hold out hope on – the HOF MLB writer predicts the Pirates to be a World Series contender within 5 years. The guys discussed what it will take for this team and its core to get there. Chris said pulling off a Chris Archer-like trade on another team would be a huge step, but very difficult to execute. Poni said the worst days are behind them and it isn't THAT far away for them to become competitive.  93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff confirmed that Kenny Pickett got third team reps in OTAs and minicamp, but it's hard for some of the reporters to know what they can and can't report. Jeff said the Mike Tomlin factor is what has Mason Rudolph in the #2 spot, but once Pickett gets more adapt, that will change. Jeff believes Teryl Austin will have play calling control of the defense with an assist from Brian Flores.

ABOUT RAY SCOTT AND THE NBA IN BLACK AND WHITEA memoir of hard lessons learned in the racially segregated and sometimes outright racist NBA of the early '60s by celebrated NBA player and first Black Coach of the Year, Ray Scott.Ray Scott was part of the early wave of Black NBA players like Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain who literally changed how the game of professional basketball is played, leading to the tremendously popular financial blockbuster the NBA is today. Scott was a successful 6'9" forward/center after being chosen by the Detroit Pistons as the #4 pick of the 1961 NBA draft, and then again after he was named head coach of the Pistons in 1972, winning Coach of the Year in the spring of 1974-the first Black man ever to capture that honor.Scott's is a story of quiet persistence, hard work, and, most of all, respect. He credits the mentorship of NBA player and coach Earl Lloyd and talks about fellow Philly native Wilt Chamberlain and friends Muhammad Ali and Aretha Franklin, among many others. Scott has lived through one of the most turbulent times in our nation's history, especially the time of assassinations of so many Black leaders at the end of the 1960s. Through it all, his voice has remained quiet and measured, transcending all the sorrows with steadiness. This is his story, told in collaboration with well-known basketball writer, former college player, and CBA coach Charley Rosen. Racism in the world of sports is still all over the news-from Brian Flores's racial discrimination lawsuit against the NFL, to Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva being allowed to compete in the Olympics while African-American runner Sha'Carri Richardson was banned, to the prolonged detainment of Black WNBA star Brittney Griner in Russia. And while we still have much work to do to make equality a reality, The NBA in Black and White answers the question "How did we go from there being only white players in the NBA to the highest paid athletes in the NBA being Black?" and reminds us of the progress we've made toward equal opportunity and fair compensation for people of color.Philly native John Raymond "Ray" Scott's college career began at the University of Portland. After three seasons in the professional Eastern Basketball League, he was chosen as the 4th pick in the 1961 NBA draft by the Detroit Pistons. He spent six years with the Pistons as a stand-out rebounder and deadly shooter from the perimeter, and another five years playing for the Baltimore Bullets and the Virginia Squires. Then, in October 1972, Scott was promoted from Assistant to Head Coach of the Detroit Pistons, thanks in part to strong support from former coach Earl Lloyd who, a decade earlier, had scouted Scott and recommended that he be the Pistons top pick. Two years later he was named NBA Coach of the Year, the first African-American to win the coveted award. From 1976 to 1979, Scott was Men's Basketball Head Coach at Eastern Michigan University. Today, he lives with his family in Eastern Michigan, not far from Detroit. This is his first book. ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE NBA IN BLACK AND WHITE"Scott, who became the first Black coach to be named NBA Coach of the Year in 1974, delivers a moving reflection on his influential career.Fans of the sport will relish Scott's insights, including how the game's been changed by the emphasis on three-point shooting.A valuable addition to hoops history." - Publishers Weekly"This is a truly wonderful book that reveals the difficulties of the quota system and all the other obstacles that African American NBA players had to face when the league began to integrate in the mid-1950s and beyond. It also tells how Ray and many other great Black players managed to achieve the fulfillment of their respective talents. Indeed, Ray was the rare successful NBA player who became a successful NBA coach. Along the way, the plight of 'ordinary' Black citizens who succeeded and/or tragically failed in facing their own racial barriers is addressed. Above all, Ray's honesty, intelligence, and deep understanding of how social injustice influences every aspect of all our collective and individual lives, makes this narrative totally relevant today. There's enough wisdom in here to enlighten and inspire even people who have little or no interest in basketball. Incredibly powerful-a must read." - Hubie Brown, NBA Coach of the Year (1978, 2004), member of the Basketball Hall of Fame"Ray Scott has chronicled his four-decades-long basketball odyssey beautifully. It is a thoughtful and well-written book about the transforming landscape of the NBA. He shares his firsthand knowledge and experiences and adds value to an era not so often discussed. I have been blessed to have known Ray, and blessed even more to have someone who trudged through the early days of the NBA take me along with him for the journey."- Marques Johnson, twelve-year NBA player, five-time All Star"I first met Ray Scott in 1965 when I was a rookie player for the Detroit Pistons. I was scared to death of the challenges I faced trying to make it in the NBA, but Ray welcomed me to the team. As one of the veterans, he organized all the players to work out and prepare for camp together. It meant the world to me, and I have never forgotten how he treated me. Ray's book brought back so many good memories from my NBA days. He was and is a leader and a wonderful example of how we should all respect, get along, and love each other. Ray is a good man."- Tom Van Arsdale, 12-year NBA player, three-time All StarGet the book here:https://www.amazon.com/NBA-Black-White-Memoir-Trailblazing/dp/164421198X

A man who needs no introduction...we have a great one for you today with an extended version of this episode and more to come during the week! In a rare sit down appearance, Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach, Mike Tomlin joins The Pivot for a candid conversation talking about impactful moments over the years and sharing untold stories from Super Bowls to coaching dynamic players to inside look of being the NFL's only current black Head Coach.  Ryan, who played for Coach Tomlin, reminisces through their Super Bowl runs and legendary defense the team assembled in the late 2000's while Fred is eager to ask the question of why Coach didn't try to sign him when he became a free agent after all those high yardage games at Heinz Field. In awe of the relationship Mike T has developed his with the men who played for him, Channing enviously asks what is the secret to earning the respect of all and never having a losing season in 15 years. Continuing the conversation, the guys get into minority hiring around the league and how Brian Flores ended up as part of the current staff after controversy surrounded his release. Coach Tomlin says it was never the intent but describes the addition as a win for the organization to have Flores apart of the coaching regime. Ryan talks about some of his former Steeler Teammates and asks the specifically noting that this will be the first time in 15 seasons that Tomlin has coached the Steelers he has always had Big Ben at the helm to run his offense and how the team will move forward. In a lighter moment, Channing asks about the infamous Jacoby Jones return interference which cost Mike T a 100K fine in 2013 as we get the play by play of what really happened that day. Admiring the legacy Tomlin has formed, Fred, Channing and Ryan all share something special they take from their conversation and the mutual respect they have for his impact on the game.

Mike Tomlin joined Ryan Clark on his podcast today and gave his thoughts on the Brian Flores hire, the career of Ben Roethlisberger and handling Antonio Brown.  Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo joined the show. Ray had no update on Larry Ogunjobi and said it could be something where the Steelers just wanted to see where Ogunjobi is physically. Ray said Ogunjobi is an upgrade over Chris Wormley and could fit into a sub package well. The guys asked Ray what other move they could make, like a backup running back, similar to what they did with DeAngelo Williams some years ago. He said the team is happy with their offensive line.   

Steelers insider Mark Kaboly joined the show. Mark said the Steelers had to sign Minkah Fitzpatrick for the future of the franchise. He talked about the pressure on Devin Bush and how he needs to get back to his rookie form. He got into the impact of Brian Flores on the defense and said the players are “afraid” of his strong personality. Why Brian Flores should be the defensive play caller.

He got into the impact of Brian Flores on the defense and said the players are “afraid” of his strong personality.

A passionate opening rant from Poni after Minkah Fitzpatrick talked about his contract extension with the Steelers. Minkah described the playoff loss to Kansas City as “embarrassing.” Poni said a lot of recent playoff performances fall under that category, even before Minkah's career started. He said there should be a lot of pressure on Mike Tomlin and the entire staff going into the season with the number one paid defense. If not, things must change.  93.7 The Fan reporter Josh Rowntree joined the show. Josh joined following the Minkah Fitzpatrick press conference. Josh commented on what we might see from the defensive play calling this season, but there isn't much given away yet, since so far has been a lot of walk-thru type practices. Josh talked about who will have more input – Teryl Austin or Brian Flores. He said Austin is the defensive coordinator, but the impact from Flores will be “significant.” Josh said Devin Bush made it known that he had some fear last year playing on his injury, but appears to be over that fear, which could make him a better player. He doesn't think Flores will put up with Bush being a “tentative” player in a real game. Josh thinks Flores could have guys ready to roll, like Robert Spillane or Buddy Johnson, if Bush can't get the job done. Josh thinks Bush will be the best of the Steelers inside linebackers. Poni asked Josh about how Terrell Edmunds feels with the strong safety battle, but Edmunds believes he's the unquestioned starter.   Poni's dad was banned from a Mexican restaurant.

Aditi Kinkhabwala joined the guys to react to the Minkah Fitzpatrick deal. The guys asked Aditi how this will continue to transform the Steelers defense going forward, even with an aging front seven. She talked about the pressure it puts on Minkah, the defense, Brian Flores and Mike Tomlin, as the team has the #1 most expensive defense in the league.  

Ray Fittipaldo joins the show to discuss his minicamp takeaways, the Steelers' quarterback depth chart, Brian Flores' impact on the defense and expectations from Myles Jack. We discuss the return of Anthrocon to Pittsburgh this summer. Deshaun Watson spoke for the first time in months yesterday. We find it hard to find a scenario where he plays again, and agree it feels strange to see him speaking in a public setting. With today being as hot as it is forecasted to be, we dive into general pool topics and etiquette.

RAY FITTIPALDO joins the show to discuss his minicamp takeaways, the Steelers' quarterback depth chart, Brian Flores' impact on the defense and expectations from Myles Jack.

Alex joins us to talk about what he has been working on in his game, the impact of Brian Flores and Cam Heyward's leadership, what we can expect from this defense this year and more! 

NICK KOSTOS- Thinks the Warriors are insufferable babies. Also said the Jordan Bulls ruined his childhood. He likes the Celtics in the series and he likes the Rangers tonight. Colin had to run. Chris and Adam discussed what you can and can't do on the toilet. Chris reset the Brian Flores topic. What is Flores' role? How big an impact can he have?EPIC ENDING!

We hear Brian Flores describe his role. What's he really doing here? Can the defense carry the team to wins this year? We discuss. Chris wants to see Tomlin give up play calling duty. Crowley said that Tomlin should be fired if it's not a top-5 defense. Colin said Tomlin should be terminated without a playoff win. We get into the gamesmanship play by Boston last night to alter the height of the hoop before game 3 of the NBA Finals. TAKE IT/FLUSH IT They're going to change the name of the PAT bus to the PRT bus. BOOOOO! More GIGANTIC NEWS: Distributors in the area are running out of IC Light Mango. Crowley ordered a Titanium Max ear/nose hair trimmer. TWITTER POLL! Plus, no personal porta john's allowed at Kenny Chesney! 

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Josh Taylor of KDKA-TV and 93.7 The Fan. If the Pittsburgh Steelers' defense returns to being a top 10 unit, how do they get there? New defensive coordinator Teryl Austin spoke Wednesday about the unit's philosophies. Spoiler alert, they're very much the same as before. But there are elements to the defense that can better benefit the team if they're more aggressive, which is something Austin and Brian Flores are working hard to make happen for Mike Tomlin. Also, Flores and Austin both discussed how Devin Bush has looked in minicamp so far, and they had good things to say. Finally, a way for the Steelers' defense to return to being top 10 actually involves something they can't control: complementary football. The Steelers' offense being better on 3rd downs and having longer drives will also allow the team's defense to play to its strengths even more.

Jon kicks off the final hour of this Wednesday edition of the Jon Chuckery Show with an NFL Squib Kick! On this edition of the NFL Squib Quick, Chuck discusses Jalen Mayfield being excused from mandatory mini-camp, Brian Flores being focused on helping the Steelers win and not the lawsuit, Mike Evans thoughts on Tom Brady, and Jon closes out this edition of the NFL Squib Quick by talking about Matthew Stafford being on track to throw at camp. Next, Jon continues the final hour by talking about why the Atlanta Braves have turned it around. Finally, to close out this Wednesday edition of The Jon Chuckery Show, Jon tries to figure out what the eff is wrong with people.

The Browns have “excused” Baker Mayfield from mandatory minicamp. How long until they “excuse” Deshaun Watson too?  Reset. Steelers insider Brian Batko joined the show. Brian said Mason Rudolph looks the same. The guys asked Brian how things are shaping up as we inch closer to training camp at St. Vincent. Brian talked about the Brian Flores dynamic into the coaching staff.

The Pirates lost the Jim Leyland Cup after being swept by the Tigers in the two-game series. Is there any hope for this team to surprise us beyond the All Star Break like the 2011 Bucs? 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff had the latest from day two of Steelers mandatory minicamp. Chris asked Jeff about the look of the offensive line as of today, which he said hasn't changed for the last few weeks. He said there is a distinction between Teryl Austin and Brian Flores on the coaching staff. He said there's not yelling with Flores, but it is “drill sergeant-esque” with the players. He said Minkah Fitzpatrick is at practice and going through drills, but couldn't say much more. He said Diontae Johnson could hold-in or hold-out, but it has been done in the past by Hines Ward.

Minkah Fitzpatrick is going the TJ Watt route of 2021. The guys debated if that is a good decision on Minkah's part and if it's smart for the Steelers to continue taking contract talks down to the wire while players “hold-in” – doing individual work during practice.  Brian Flores spoke to the media today. The guys talked about how important Flores is to the staff and specifically for a player like Devin Bush. Poni thinks there's a shot Bush gets benched if he can't get it done because if he can't figure it out with Flores he won't figure it out at all.

Will the offense undergo major and better changes under Matt Canada this year? We listen to Brian Flores from today's mini camp and give our What's Cookin' segment, including a throwback clip. 

The new addition to the Steelers defensive coaching staff spoke with the media after practice today. Hear what he had to say about this opportunity. 

The Pirates have won 7 of 10 and 8 of 12, including a three-game sweep in Los Angeles against the Dodgers. Is there any Bucco Fever running wild in Pittsburgh?  Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo joined the show. Ray said George Pickens will be the rookie wide receiver that makes the biggest impact on this team. He said Pickens or Chase Claypool will be the Steelers deep threat. He doesn't expect Diontae Johnson and his contract will be a big issue as it gets later into the off-season, but wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't suit up for training camp due to the risk of injury. Chris asked about the role of Brian Flores evolving over the course of the off-season.

The New England Patriots defense was really good last year ranking in the top 10 in several statistical categories. The Patriots defense however struggled against the run as they had the 24th ranked run defense last season. New England's defense was also slow and needed to add speed over this off-season to better matchup with teams that have a dual-threat QBs and teams that can stretch the field vertically. What adjustments will Bill Belichick and DC Steve Belichick make to improve their run defense this season? JT Sports discusses how good the New England Patriots defense will be in 2022. The Dolphins defense got off to a slow start last year but turned it around during the middle of the season and became one the best units over the second half of the 2021 NFL season. With the firing of Brian Flores and the hiring of new HC Mike McDaniel will the Miami Dolphins defense take a step back this year? McDaniel retained DC Josh Boyer but how much was he responsible for the success Miami had on defense last year which is a big question many fans are asking. The Dolphins have one of the most talented defenses in the NFL with star CB Xavien Howard, DE Emmanuel Ogbah, Jaelan Phillips, and Jevon Holland but with uncertainty at DC how good will the Miami Dolphins defense be in 2022? The New York Jets entire offense struggled last season, from dealing with several injuries to key players and Zach Wilson having an underwhelming rookie season this unit could never find their stride. This off-season the Jets took major steps to improve their offense by drafting Garrett Wilson, Breece Hall, and signing OG Laken Tomlinson to pair alongside their young core. With Zach Wilson going into his second season how much will he improve? What impact will second-year players Elijah Moore and Alijah Vera-Tucker have and could they be in for breakout seasons? Will OC Mike LaFleur also improve in his second year as the Jets offensive play-caller? JT Sports discusses how good the New York Jets offense will be in 2022. The SEC Football conference is widely considered the best conference in College Football with talented players coming and going every year. JT Sports gives his breakout players for every SEC team for the 2022 College Football Season.

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Josh Taylor of KDKA-TV and 93.7 The Fan. The Pittsburgh Steelers announced the retirement of Stephon Tuitt Wednesday. That means the need help on the defensive line next to Cam Heyward and Tyson Alualu to help the run defense improve from being last in the NFL in 2021. That could mean Larry Ogunjobi in free agency or just that the Steelers will need to see if Chris Wormley or DeMarvin Leal can be ready for increased snap on the defensive line. Either way, Omar Khan needs to used the Steelers' newly increased salary cap space of $21 million for something on the roster. That could mean free agency, or even a trade to pick up a solid veteran. Also, Devin Bush and Myles Jack spoke after the Steelers' Wednesday OTAs. Bush explained his injury recovery process not being complete until after last season and how he feels much more comfortable with his knee/ACL. Jack spoke about his excitement to work with Bush and learn under Brian Flores. But both know, they have to be a stellar pair as sideline-to-sideline linebackers who stuff the run and help against the pass.

Chris and Donny broke down his chat with the media from earlier today.   Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo joined the show. Ray reflected on the news of Stephon Tuitt's retirement. Chris asked Ray who the Steelers could target in free agency on the defensive line. Ray thinks they could wait until August to make a move if they aren't comfortable with what they have on the roster. He said the youth on the defensive line must be ready to go moving forward. Isaiahh Loudermilk is a player Ray is looking for to develop into a key piece on the defensive front. Chris also asked Ray about the role Brian Flores will play in the defense and the play calling. Ray hopes Devin Bush can get back to the level he was at when he arrived in Pittsburgh.

More reaction from Stephon Tuitt's retirement. The discussion moved to Brian Flores. It appears the team loves his presence. Chris and Donny discussed how much say and impact Flores will have on the defense.  Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. The Pirates are shocking baseball a little bit right now. They have won 4/5 games over the Dodgers this year and have a chance to complete the sweep tonight in Los Angeles. Greg talked about Mitch Keller adding a sinker to his arsenal. He said why it's fun to watch this team compete every night. Greg got into the history of Dodger Stadium and what it's like to cover a game there. Greg discussed the best press box food in MLB. 

Colin Kaepernick y Brian Flores han sido los estandartes de un movimiento al interior de la NFL que visibiliza un problema muy real a nivel social y político; el racismo. En este episodio Eugenia Ruiz y Sofía Ramírez exploran las diferentes aristas de estos dos casos y algunas perspectivas hacia el futuro.

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV. The Pittsburgh Steelers OTAs wrapped up their first week, and we got our first look at linebackers coach Brian Flores working closely with Devin Bush and Myles Jack. Jack revealed Flores joining the Steelers helped him pick Pittsburgh in free agency, and it's clear there's going to be some up-close work for the Steelers linebackers with Flores. Also, Chase Claypool spoke about having more responsibility in the Steelers locker room as a third-year veteran. As the only Steelers receiver from 2021 at the 2022 OTAs, he's taking on more of a leadership role and helping George Pickens adjust to the NFL. Meanwhile, Pickens sounds confident, but not cocky, as he starts his NFL career while the young offensive players are just starting to get to know each other, with funny stories and interactions between players like Pat Freiermuth and Kenny Pickett.
