We are 1 hour away from the NHL Trade Deadline. The Penguins have yet to make a move. Will they? Is it a failure on the part of Kyle Dubas if they stand pat? Could a small move pay big dividends the way some of the others have for Dubas this season? We also reacted to the Evgeni Malkin play from last night that could end up in suspension and Sidney Crosby practicing today. Would you rather the Penguins make a splashy buy or a splashy sell? The guys are OK if a little deal is made. BREAKING: The Penguins have acquired Elmer Soderblom from the Red Wings for a 3rd round pick.

Nick thinks Dylan Cook is the frontrunner to be the starting left tackle in camp. This is a deeper guard class. Mel Kiper has the Steelers picking Ty Simpson.

Who will have a better career: Marc Bugler or Will Howard, Brandon Lowe, and Fair Game with Nick Farabaugh

Joe sees the rationale for Will Howard, but it isn't a great plan. Nick said the Alabama offensive line was bad for Ty Simpson, but the tools are slightly above average. He needs some seasoning and Nick thinks he's more of a second round pick. Nick thinks a developmental quarterback like Drew Allar, who has great tools, should be considered in the middle rounds.

If the Steelers do not take a wide receiver, Nick thinks they might take a guard. He also thinks that Ty Simpson is a big wild card on draft night. 

Fair Game w/ Steelers reporter Nick Farabaugh from Penn Live dot com joined the show. Nick thinks there are legitimate concerns with Ty Simpson being a 1st round pick and thinks the Steelers have more pressing needs than to take a flier on him. Nick can see the Steelers trading up to draft a WR instead of just staying put because he believes there is a drop off between the top 2-3 at that position and the rest of the 1st round names. He thinks Jordyn Tyson could be the one to fall out of that group. Is Simpson a better prospect than Will Howard? Nick thinks it's more likely that the Steelers take a QB on the second night or third day of the draft, and that could be Drew Allar. Nick said there were some interesting prospects that went back to school. Nick said Garrett Nussmeier, who has clear connections to Mike McCarthy has ‘tanked' his stock going into the draft process. The Steelers have 5 picks in the top 100 right now and Nick expects them to draft a pair of receivers with that at their disposal.

We had some fun with the way Sidney Crosby says ‘pasta' as Canada gets set for its second game later today.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani: This is a very solid wide receiver class in the first round. Nick Farabaugh thinks the No. 21 pick will be a wide receiver. Nick thinks Garrett Nussmeier or Drew Allar makes sense in the middle rounds. The Steelers could take a shot on a mid-round quarterback because they're going to have 11-12 picks and there are good prospects who will fall for various reasons.

This is a very solid wide receiver class in the first round. Nick thinks the Steelers will sign a receiver and draft a receiver who can both start. He projects Calvin Austin to make $6-7 million per year and thinks Austin will be back as a WR4. Nick thinks Garrett Nussmeier or Drew Allar makes sense in the middle rounds.

The general answer is that no one cares where McCarthy is from, only that he can win games for the Steelers A Senior Bowl Edition of Fair Game with Farabaugh!

Nick gives updates on who the Steelers are interested in for the open coordinator positions.

Mike McCarthy is excited to work with Will Howard. He seems to be the only one. Why is McCarthy so excited about Howard? Does the Tye Simpson rumor from Farabaugh change the plans at quarterback? What is the status of Aaron Rodgers? Bryant McFadden joins the show! BMac is excited that McCarthy is the HC of the Steelers. He loves the passion McCarthy has becoming the Steelers coach.

Nick Farabaugh thinks McCarthy is a low ceiling, high floor coach when the Steelers needed a high ceiling head coach. Nick gives the Steelers a C. Nick thinks Will Howard has upside, but he doesn't do well under pressure and doesn't have great footwork. Nick thinks that Garrett Nussmeier is an interesting name. The Steelers could look at Drew Allar, too.

Fair Game with Nick Farabaugh. Is it fair to say that the Steelers will hire one of the Rams coaches as their next head coach? Nick answers the question if the Steelers will have a new head coach this time next week. He says that a dark horse candidate to get an interview that hasn't is Sean McDermott.

Nick would hire Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula as the Steelers next head coach. The Rams have the lowest paid defense in the NFL and Shula gets a ton out of them as a solid defense. Nate Scheelhaase could be the offensive coordinator. Is this the time for the Steelers to hire an offensive coach so a solid coordinator doesn't leave after only a couple of seasons?

The Rams have the lowest paid defense in the NFL and Shula gets a ton out of them as a solid defense. Nate Scheelhaase could be the offensive coordinator. Is this the time for the Steelers to hire an offensive coach so a solid coordinator doesn't leave after only a couple of seasons? Do Steelers fans really just want Will Howard to play next year?

Fair Game w/ Farabaugh – Steelers insider Nick Farabaugh from Penn Live dot com joined the show. Nick thinks it's fair to say that either of the Rams coaches (Chris Shula & Nate Scheelhaase) could end up being the next head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He said they love the Sean McVay tree and people connected to his staff. Nick expects the Steelers to trend toward a younger coach, that hasn't been a head coach yet, and also don't have to have a defensive background. Nick believes the Steelers job is a better one than the Dolphins job, which could be another spot for Shula in this cycle. Nick isn't sure if Scheelhaase is hired this time around, but the Browns are a team to watch if he's not offered by the Steelers. Nick isn't over-the-moon about Ejiro Evero as a Mike Tomlin replacement, but Anthony Weaver is one that hasn't gotten enough love so far. Nick also feels like Robert Saleh should be considered for this job, even though the Steelers have yet to request an interview with him. Would Jesse Minter be a fit in Pittsburgh? Nick isn't fired up over Jeff Hafley, who is interviewing here today. Nick buys into what Art Rooney said the other day – that the Steelers will not go through a full rebuild.

Poni is still coming down from the high he got once we heard the news of Mike Tomlin stepping down after Monday night's loss to the Texans. He said it's fun that we actually get to talk about this and it's not all just a hypothetical this time. Should we be as excited as we are though? The guys talked about people having second thoughts. What would we prefer – previewing a game or having the chance to talk about the next head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers? Are callers ready to tell us to be careful what we wish for?

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Joe announces that he will be rejoining TribLive! Joe will once again be a columnist at the Trib. The Steelers lack of a passing game is what did them in. Nick thinks Tomlin would do broadcasting for a year then go and coach somewhere if he decides to leave. Should the Steelers bring back Aaron Rodgers?

Joe announces that he will be rejoining TribLive! Joe will once again be a columnist at the Trib. The Steelers lack of a passing game is what did them in. The Steelers scored three points off three turnovers. The Texans went 10/13 on third down and they wore down the Steelers defense. If the Steelers turn down the option for 2027, maybe Art Rooney would say they want to give Tomlin one more chance, but Tomlin might not want to do that.

Steelers Insider Nick Farabaugh joins the show. Nick thinks that it is fair that the Steelers are underdogs on Monday, even though they are playing the game at home. He also thinks that the Texans are the best defense the Steelers have played all year. Nick says that the Steelers should win if they score more than 17 points.
