Podcasts about jurkovec

In their weekly Pitt football mailbag podcast, Post-Gazette insiders Noah Hiles and Christopher Carter answer reader questions. Among them: Is Alabama transfer Eli Holstein the new favorite to start for the Panthers at quarterback? Can he have more success than past transfer portal additions such as Phil Jurkovec and Kedon Slovis? And how will the offensive coaching staff change after assistants Tim Salem (tight ends), Andre Powell (running backs and special teams) and Dave Borbely (offensive line) were let go? Our duo tackles those topics and more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson respond to several complaints still flying about Pitt QB Phil Jurkovec ahead of Pitt's senior night on Thursday.

The Florida State Seminoles sit at a perfect 8-0 on the season after their victory over the Wake Forest Demon Deacons this past Saturday. The Seminoles jumped out early before cruising to an easy 41-16 win. This weekend, FSU heads north for a showdown with the Pittsburgh Panthers. It's been a rough season for the Panthers and head coach Pat Narduzzi. After opening the season with a victory, the Panthers have struggled to only one additional win on the season. Heading into Saturday, Pitt stands at a record of 2-6 with a tough four game stretch (including Florida State) to finish the season. Can the Panthers turn their season around on Saturday with a win over the Seminoles? We'll discuss that more with Corey Cohen of the Pitt Talk Network. Each week, as part of our Line of Scrimmage series, we'll be speaking with members of the beat that covers FSU's upcoming opponent, getting all the details from those who know those teams best. Entering this season Pat Narduzzi had compiled a 62-41 record at Pitt, with his worst season being 6-5 in 2020. The Panthers came in as a possible dark horse for the ACC championship game but this season has been far from successful. Phil Jurkovec went from NFL draft prospect just two-three years ago to demotion, the Panthers are 2-6. High level, what has gone wrong for Pitt? Let's focus on the quarterback position (if not covered already). Jurkovec transfers in from Boston College and was rather abysmal with a 50% completion percentage. He was moved to tight end and Christian Veilleux has been behind center since the Louisville game. What happened to Jurkovec and tell the fans what to expect from Veilleux? The backfield is a two-headed monster in C'Bo Flemister and Rodney Hammond Jr. The two backs are pretty close in carries and yards but do they have similar styles on the field? The Panthers have a pair of talented wide receivers in Konata Mumpfield and Bub Means. But for the first time this year, I think FSU is facing a pretty legitimate tight end receiving threat as well in Gavin Bartholomew. How might we see Pitt get these three involved on Saturday?  Finally on offense, let's take a look at the line. The big guys have allowed 16 sacks on the season and only allowed the Panther to average 3.5 yards on the ground. It's a young offensive line with four underclass men and one senior. Where has this line struggled and is there an area they've been successful? Flipping over to defense, it's a defensive line that has accounted for 14 of the team's 23 sacks. The Panthers appear to have a decent rotation on the inside with David Green, Deandre Jules and others while Dayon Hayes and freshman Samuel Okunlola are the names to know on the ends. What has allowed this group to have success in the backfield and is there an area teams have found success against this defensive line? Solomon DeShields leads this linebacking corp. On paper, this has shown to be a solid group stats wise and PFF grades wise. How would this group grade so far? Let's jump back to the secondary. Donovan McMillon is the safety that flies over the field making the tackles while Phillip O'Brien and MJ Devonshire have split four interceptions on the season at cornerback. This appears to be a solid group. How will they stack up against Keon Coleman and the talented Seminole receivers? And finally, thoughts on how Saturday plays out Learn more about your ad choices.

In this week's Morning Pitt Mailbag, we're comparing Kedon Slovis and Phil Jurkovec and discussing quarterback recruiting - plus a lot more.

Austin Bechtold is joined by Pitt insider Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for a conversation surrounding Noah's breaking news that Phil Jurkovec not only lost his starting quarterback job but is transitioning to tight end. How will Jurkovec fair, and what is Pitt getting in Christian Veilleux? Austin and Noah also look ahead to the upcoming Pitt basketball season. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hour 3: WPIAL Insider Karlo Zovko joined the show. Phil Jurkovec is moving to tight end. Can he actually play the position??? Does this take away from Gavin Bartholomew, who already is getting limited reps? Dorin thinks he will be targeted more and Christian Veilleux will get him the ball. Crowley thinks the Jurkovec situation is a bad look. Karlo thinks Narduzzi is trying to instill confidence in Phil and do the best he can. It helps the locker room. Phil can work out as a tight end, go through pro day activities, and try to make an NFL team by being tough and physical. Karlo was on staff at Pitt until August and said no one in the building thought a 1-4 start was even possible. Karlo Zovko gives us a look around the WPIAL and the KDKA High School Football Game of the Week between Gateway and Penn-Trafford. Fort Cherry's Matt Sieg, for Dorin, might be one of the best athletes in WPIAL history. He is a track star too. He's thrown for 1,900 yards in 1 1/2 years. Mike Martz thinks the Steelers offense is stagnant. The Bears scored 40 points last night against the Commanders! Everyone has a game where they score a lot other than the Steelers. Kenny Pickett remains solid against pressure. Dorin and Austin present this week's Odds and Ends presented by FanDuel for the Steelers-Ravens matchup!

Former Pitt quarterback Phil Jurkovec is moving to tight end. WHAT?! Austin Bechtold initially questioned the move, but understands the reasoning behind it. Will he catch any passes?

Former Pitt quarterback Phil Jurkovec is moving to tight end. WHAT?! Austin Bechtold initially questioned the move, but understands the reasoning behind it. Will he catch any passes? We hear from Matt Canada on an alleged burner account, the Steelers offense, and much more. Canada and Najee Harris have each other's backs. Check out the first-ever Pitt volleyball broadcast tonight as the Panthers host Georgia Tech at 1 p.m. in a ranked matchup!!

Boston College football is heading to Army, and they will face a new offense, one that has lots of similarities but still different than the wishbone. And how will the Army defense look against Thomas Castellanos, Lewis Bond and Jeff Hafley's offense. Finally, Pitt has had enough of Phil Jurkovec, and his season looks to be over.

On this week's Panther-Lair Show, Chris and Jim are joined by Noah Hiles from the Post-Gazette, who hops on to talk about Phil Jurkovec getting benched and a lot more.

In this hour, Pitt Radio Network's Pat Bostick joins Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson to talk about football with news reported that QB Phil Jurkovec is being benched after four games. October 5, 2023, 8:00 Hour

Phil Jurkovec has been benched and the bye week isn't even halfway over yet. So obviously we gotta talk about that. We spend some time answering some questions from the fans we took on Twitter before looking at the rest of the week 6 slate. Leave a review if you liked the show, we really appreciate it!Podcast Twitter: @semplefipodWritten Articles: imrealangry.substack.com

Callers are tired of hearing from Mike Tomlin.  Aditi Kinkhabwala from the NFL on CBS joined the show. Aditi gave a behind-the-scenes look on the comments made by Spero Dedes on Sunday about Matt Canada saying the Steelers are not built to come back in games. She said Dedes felt back afterwards, but he shouldn't be getting any blame. She disagreed with the statement made by Canada and that the Steelers do have players they should be able to build a high-powered offense around.  Donny Football Debrief – Phil Jurkovec has been benched as Pitt's QB.  Pickett's Points – The guys broke down what Kenny Pickett said to the media earlier today. 

Pitt broadcaster Pat Bostick joins the show. Virginia Tech is a struggling program, but so are the Panthers. The Hokies probably think they have a good chance to win and Pitt needs to prove itself. We don't know if Phil Jurekovec will start. This is a game Bub Means needs to get going. Pat can see 7-9 sacks for Pitt! The game plan really doesn't change much, in Pat's eyes, if Christian Veilleux or Phil Jurkovec start. 

Pitt showed life before Jurkovec's injury, the Pirates with a historical comeback, the Texans could be sneaky tough next week and Ron and Joe make their picks for tonight. 

For today's Morning Pitt, we've got our regular Mailbag feature, but first, we have to talk about quarterbacks again after Pat Narduzzi announced Thursday that Phil Jurkovec is slated to start Saturday night's game against North Carolina.

Karlo Zovko joins the show. Karlo still has some faith in Phil Jurkovec! He doesn't think it's time to completely give up on him. Rodney Hammond needs more carries. North Carolina is a talented team that Karlo doesn't think Pitt will beat. Narduzzi makes opponents beat them through the air, which is what Drake Maye does. Crowley makes a major admission about Kenny Pickett. Karlo doesn't feel good about Matt Canada and will not speak too negatively about Kenny Pickett. He has full faith in Pickett and worked with him at Pitt. The Steelers offense is vanilla. The Canada offense at Pitt was definitely different! Central Catholic and North Allegheny is THE GAME of the season. It's old school vs. new school. Run first vs. air-raid offense. 15k tickets have been sold. It could be a preview of the WPIAL Championship game. 

Listen. This Week 4 slate is fantastic. You don't have to watch Pitt until Jurkovec is riding the bench. Watch a team you normally would not! It's good for you!If you enjoyed the show, give us a follow on Twitter @semplefipod!

In their weekly Pitt mailbag video, Post-Gazette beat writers Noah Hiles and Christopher Carter answer reader questions. Among them: Why won't coach Pat Narduzzi bench QB Phil Jurkovec after poor performance in the Backyard Brawl against West Virginia despite showing willingness to bench starters at other positions? When will tight end Gavin Bartholomew get more targets in the passing game? What is the reason that receivers aren't producing in Frank Cignetti Jr.'s offense? And should backup Christian Veilleux get a look at QB? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of Football UnScripted, Corey Cohen welcomes obnoxiously pitt girl from the Sickos Committee Podcast to break down Pitt's pathetic loss to West Virginia in the Backyard Brawl, Phil Jurkovec's disgraceful performance that should be his last in a Pitt uniform, the coaches stubborn refusal to bench him and instead lose two winnable games, and where Pitt goes from here as they stare down the barrel of a 3-win season.

It was an ugly one on both sides but especially for Pitt. Jurkovec can't start again...can he? We discuss...

After a poor performance and poor morale in Saturday's loss to WVU, can Pitt afford to continue to play transfer quarterback Phil Jurkovec?

Nicholas "Harry" Callas listens to Pittsburgh sports fans and wonders if Pitt can win games moving forward with this quarterback.

The Backyard Brawl is tomorrow night. Who is under more pressure – WVU HC Neal Brown or Pitt QB Phil Jurkovec? The guys think Brown could be coaching for his job, especially if Pitt blows them away. But after the performance and postgame remarks from Jurkovec, the fans will be screaming for the backup if he repeats that show tomorrow night.

But after the performance and postgame remarks from Jurkovec, the fans will be screaming for the backup if he repeats that show tomorrow night.  Are WVU fans at the point where they just want Neal Brown fired so they can start over?  How far should the leash be for Phil Jurkovec if he struggles again tomorrow night? The guys debated if it would be smart for Pat Narduzzi to bench a transfer QB or if it gives a bad wrap for future transfers. 

In their weekly Pitt mailbag video, Post-Gazette beat reporters Noah Hiles and Christopher Carter answer reader questions. Among them? How much should the loss to the Cincinnati Bearcats on Saturday at Acrisure Stadium change expectations for the Panthers? Why were quarterback Phil Jurkovec and receiver Bub Means so out of sync in the defeat? Why wasn't coach Pat Narduzzi and his staff -- including coordinators Frank Cignetti and Randy Bates -- better prepared for what Cincinnati QB Emory Jones and coach Scott Satterfield had to throw at them? And should transfer quarterback Christian Veilleux start the Backyard Brawl against West Virginia instead of Jurkovec? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Phil Jurkovec, Pitt's new QB, ripped fans for booing them on Saturday. Was he way off base here? Then, Chris Mack joins us in-studio for some Steelers talk. 

The new starting QB at Pitt made some eye-opening comments about the fans that were booing Pitt on Saturday. Anything but a terrible look here? 

In this episode of Football UnScripted, Corey Cohen welcomes Ryan from Those Guys You Know to break down Pitt's loss to Cincinnati, Phil Jurkovec's inability to throw on target (1:19), Jurkovec calling the fans pathetic (12:00), the need for Jurkovec to get benched and when it might happen (16:59), the lack of offensive production under Frank Cignetti (27:03), and an early look ahead at the Backyard Brawl (49:18).

In their weekly college sports video, Post-Gazette sports writers Noah Hiles and Abby Schnable recap the first week of training camp for both Pitt and Penn State football. Is Penn State's Drew Allar or Pitt's Phil Jurkovec facing more pressure in 2023? And what should we make of the latest conference realignment news?

Former Steeler Willie Colon joined the show. Willie gave the skinny on Kwon Alexander, who the Steelers signed over the weekend. He said Alexander was the x-factor of the Jets defense last year and was very surprised the Jets didn't bring him back after hitting free agency. Willie gave credit to the Steelers front office for getting Alexander at this point in the off-season and some former Steelers he compares to. Willie shared his thoughts on Aaron Smith and James Harrison being named to the next class of the Steelers Hall of Honor. He highlighted some moments with Smith, who helped him out as a rookie and helped him develop into a pro player. Willie talked about how intimidating Harrison was, but that he does have a very soft side to his life. He mentioned how physically strong Harrison is, but that he really studied the game a ton. Willie thinks the Steelers are a playoff-bound team. George Pickens said he is the best receiver in the world. He said he plays angry because he believes he is one of those guys that should get the ball in his hands on every single play.   Donny Football Debrief – Phil Jurkovec and Kedon Slovis both on the Maxwell watch-list. Who will have the better season?

Chris Peak and Jim Hammett from Panther-Lair.com went live Wednesday night for an hour of Pitt sports talk on the Panther-Lair Show. Topics include players who have surprised us, bad predictions, expectations for Phil Jurkovec and more.

Rapid Fire starts with thoughts on Notre Dame's next apparel deal reportedly coming down to a choice between Under Armour, Adidas and Nike.  Other topics include: * Thoughts on what Irish athletic director Jack Swarbrick says are Notre Dame's top priorities while negotiating the new deal.  * Thoughts on Swarbrick saying adding more Big Ten opponents could be in store for the Irish if they stay with NBC in the next TV contract. * The NBA Draft is Thursday night and ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowksi has traditionally tipped picks on Twitter, but he says he's not going to do that this year. Do you like it when reporters tip picks when you're watching a draft? * Phil Jurkovec's relationship with Brian Kelly and Tommy Rees when he was at Notre Dame. * A documentary is coming on the Columbus, Ohio school Bishop Sycamore High that found a way to get a game against IMG Academy on ESPN a couple years ago.  Shop for Irish Breakdown gear at our online store: https://store.irishbreakdown.com Join the Irish Breakdown premium message board: https://boards.irishbreakdown.com Stay locked into Irish Breakdown for all the latest news and analysis about Notre Dame: https://www.irishbreakdown.com Subscribe to the Irish Breakdown podcast on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

Rapid Fire starts by debating which has the better chance to happen this season: Audric Estime rushes for at least 1,200 yards or one of Notre Dame's wide receivers tops 900 yards? Other topics include: * Thoughts on Irish safeties coach Chris O'Leary in the wake of safety Paul Menke Jr committing to Duke. *Did former Irish quarterback Phil Jurkovec transfer first to Boston College and then to Pittsburgh just to play against Notre Dame? * Chicago Bears defensive lineman Justin Jones had some choice words on Green Bay Packers fans this week. We share and discuss them.  * Film maker Kevin Smith of Clerks and Jay and Silent Bob fame says there are some classic movies that need a current reboot. One of them is the Bad News Bears. Smith would envisions Kelly Leak (Jackie Earl Haley) and Amanda Wurlitzer (Tatum O'Neal) who are grown ups coaching against each other in the Little League world. Would you watch that? We also have other suggestions for similar reboots.  *A crazy ex-girlfriend story.
