Podcasts about kenneth gainwell

June 17 – Ep. 60: On this episode of The Depot Dive, Ross McCorkle and Alex Kozora kick things off with a discussion on DeShon Elliott's extension and what it means for the secondary and the defense overall. Next, we discuss some of the positive reports about the running back room coming out of spring practices. How will the division of labor be divided between Jaylen Warren and Kaleb Johnson? And how does Kenneth Gainwell fit into that equation? For the third topic, we discuss Arthur Smith's "wishbone" comments and what that might mean for the direction of the offense overall. Will Aaron Rodgers' history or Smith's history hold more weight? We also discuss what that might mean for Roman Wilson's role with everything else going on with the offense. To wrap things up, we answer a listener question about Zach Frazier's potential after a great rookie season.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to react to a busy week in Pittsburgh sports news. Should the GM Omar Khan, coach Mike Tomlin and the Steelers have allocated their offseason budget toward building roster depth for beyond just 2025? With deals similar to the one they made with DK Metcalf? Instead of pursuing a short-term QB solution in Aaron Rodgers? And if they knew Rodgers' indecision would last into OTAs, would they have handled things differently? What are the biggest storylines around OTAs otherwise? Is it the tackle situation with Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu? The receivers room with Roman Wilson, Calvin Austin III and Robert Woods jockeying for position behind Metcalf? is it Darius Slay Jr.'s arrival in the secondary? Or the re-loaded running back room with Trey Sermon, Kaleb Johnson and Kenneth Gainwell joining Jaylen Warren? Our duo tackles those questions, the Penguins coaching search and College Football Playoff expansion and what it could mean for Pitt and Penn State. Then in the third segment, airing on the PG's Pirates YouTube channel, the guys analyze the team's recent hot streak. Is new manager Don Kelly making a meaningful difference compared to Derek Shelton? Or is the offense just getting some better luck? Is Kelly's future tied to Ben Cherington's? Or could Bob Nutting retain Kelly and change GMs this offseason? What should we make of how the club is handling young pitchers Bubba Chandler, Carmen Mlodzinski, Mike Burrows and Braxton Ashcraft? And is Henry Davis finally starting to round a corner?

After Thursday's OTAs practice from the Steelers' South Side facility, Steelers insiders Ray Fittipaldo and Brian Batko share their key takeaways, including what seems to be an increased role for Payton Wilson at linebacker. Has he ascended to a starter next to Patrick Queen? Or is he just a placeholder until Cole Holcomb is healthy? And on offense, what kind of role can we expect from new running back Kenneth Gainwell?

Kenneth Gainwell thinks the running back room is going to be good. Mason Rudolph is making news at OTAs for acting like the starting QB with his leadership and being very vocal. Will Howard has been fine, but hasn't stood out. Broderick Jones is in good shape.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: Paul Skenes has allowed 47 earned runs through 35 starts. 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Kenneth Gainwell thinks the running back room is going to be good. Mason Rudolph is making news at OTAs for acting like the starting QB with his leadership and being very vocal. Jeff thinks members of the Steelers organization are thinking about 2026 for a quarterback and Aaron Rodgers is somewhat wanted but not hughley.

On his weekly Chipped Ham & Football podcast, Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko ranks the team's 2025 schedule by degree of difficulty. Will Myles Garrett and the Browns be the easiest foe coach Mike Tomlin's team sees? Or will they still be able to challenge the offense that's been re-tooled with names including DK Metcalf, Kenneth Gainwell and -- possibly -- QB Aaron Rodgers? How much pressure will offensive juggernauts like the Bills and Lions put on T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, first-round pick Derrick Harmon and the team's new-look defense? Can they slow down stars like Josh Allen, Jahmyr Gibbs and Amon-Ra St. Brown? Or will those guys find success like Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry of the division rival Ravens did in the playoffs last season? And how do Joe Burrow and the Bengals plus J.J. McCarthy and the Vikings factor into all of this? Brian tackles those questions and more.

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo eye potential remaining moves for GM Omar Khan this offseason. Why do trades of high-priced veterans including T.J. Watt and Minkah Fitzpatrick seem unlikely? Even after George Pickens was dealt to the Dallas Cowboys with one year remaining on his contract last week? And how does Watt's contract negotiation fit into that conversation? Our duo ponders those questions, then the future of the Steelers backfield. How quickly will third-round pick Kaleb Johnson eat into Jaylen Warren's workload? Is he a realistic threat to start? And where do other options including Kenneth Gainwell and Trey Sermon fit into the situation. Then in the third segment, the guys preview the NFL schedule release Wednesday night and possible primetime matchups for coach Mike Tomlin's team.

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo react to GM Omar Khan's comments about his receivers at rookie minicamp over the weekend. Does he really believe in the group as constituted, following the trade of George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys? Could Roman Wilson, Robert Woods and Calvin Austin really provide the necessary production behind DK Metcalf? Is Khan sending more smokescreens with an eye toward free agents like Keenan Allen and Amari Cooper? Our duo tackles those questions and more from rookie camp. What should we make of Will Howard's impressive practice performance? Can he push Mason Rudolph and possibly Aaron Rodgers come training camp? Or be a starter for this team in the future? And what difference will Trey Sermon make in the backfield next to names including Kaleb Johnson, Kenneth Gainwell and Jaylen Warren?

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern, primarily the Steelers' decision to trade George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a third-round pick in next year's NFL draft. How does this move fit into a confusing offseason so far, one that's included big additions in DK Metcalf, Kenneth Gainwell and Darius Slay Jr; big subtractions in the form of Najee Harris, Russell Wilson and Justin Fields; plus a protracted pursuit of quarterback Aaron Rodgers? Are general manager Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin serious about competing this year? Or are they looking toward the 2026 NFL draft, in which they now have a basket of picks to pursue a quarterback like Arch Manning, Drew Allar, Nico Iamaleava and LaNorris Sellers? Paul tackles those questions and more on the football front, then talks Pirates and manager Derek Shelton's future after another series loss vs. the St. Louis Cardinals.

On the Monday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo analyze the offensive line after GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin chose not to add to it via the NFL draft. Is that a sign of confidence in young players including Broderick Jones, Troy Fautanu, Mason McCormick and Zach Frazier? What are reasonable expectations for that group this season as they look to provide better blocking to RBs Kaleb Johnson, Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell? And better protection for QBs including Mason Rudolph, Will Howard and --possibly -- Aaron Rodgers? Later, the guys take a look at how the CB room is coming together with names like Donte Kent and Darius Slay joining Joey Porter Jr., Cory Tice Jr. and Beanie Bishop. And they take a look at how AFC North rivals including the Ravens, Bengals and Browns performed in the NFL draft, with big names including Shedeur Sanders, Quinshon Judkins, Shemar Stewart and Malaki Starks entering the fray.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. How much better did general manager Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin make the team's roster this offseason now that the NFL draft is complete? Are the Steelers better positioned to compete following the trade for DK Metcalf; the signings of names like Kenneth Gainwell and Darius Slay Jr.; and the drafting of players including Derrick Harmon, Jack Sawyer, Kaleb Johnson and Will Howard? Was it enough to replace what they lost in players like Russell Wilson, Justin Fields and Najee Harris? And how much hinges on Aaron Rodgers finally signing with the team? Paul tackles those questions, then welcomes Plum hockey coach Jon Gratton to discuss the Penguins' firing of Mike Sullivan as coach on Monday.

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo analyze the offense's backfield following the NFL draft. Is third-round pick Kaleb Johnson a better fit at running back than Najee Harris was? How do their styles compare and contrast? And how will he pair with new teammates Kenneth Gainwell and Jaylen Warren within OC Arthur Smith's system? Our duo tackles those questions. Then later, they offer thoughts on the interesting strategy GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin used in making middle-round selections including Jack Sawyer, Yahya Black and Will Howard. And in the third segment, they analyze the smokescreens the front office used in bringing prospects including Shedeur Sanders and Jaxson Dart in for visits despite choosing not to take either in the end.

Host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey to recap Day 2 of the NFL draft from a Steelers perspective. Was Iowa RB Kaleb Johnson too good a value to pass up at pick No. 83? Or should GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin have waited to dip into a deep running back class with names like Dylan Sampson, Bhayshul Tuten or DJ Giddens or Trevor Etienne? How does Johnson fit within OC Arthur Smith's scheme? And a backfield that already includes names like Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell? And how should we interpret Johnson coming to Pittsburgh with a similar style to the recently departed Najee Harris? Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks QBs as Shedeur Sanders continues to tumble from perceived Day 1 status heading into the draft. How much consideration did he deserve for the Steelers? Who enter Day with long-term QB questions? Would the attention around Sanders have been a bad fit with potentially a No. 3 role in the QB room behind Mason Rudolph and Aaron Rodgers? How does he stack up with other Day 3 QB options like Will Howard and Kyle McCord? And how much consideration did Jalen Milroe deserve before going to the Seattle Seahawks a few picks later?

On his weekly Chipped Ham & Football podcast, Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko welcomes Wes Uhler of the Steelers Nation Radio for a seven-round NFL mock draft of possible picks for GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin. What's the best path for the first-round pick if defensive linemen like Derrick Harmon, Walter Nolen, Kenneth Grant, plus quarterbacks like Shedeur Sanders and Jaxson Dart are all available at pick No. 21 overall? Is CJ West a defensive line name worth knowing in the later rounds if the Steelers pass on DL in the first round? Is Trevor Eitenne the right guy to add to the RB room next to Kenneth Gainwell and Jaylen Warren? And why are Pat Bryant, Malachi Moore and Jalin Conyers among the names to watch in the later rounds? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

Steelers insider Nick Farabaugh from Penn Live dot com joined the show. Nick said his money is on the Steelers taking Shedeur Sanders 21st overall in a few nights. Nick said he heard his meeting with the Steelers went well. Nick's belief is that the Steelers did not expect Sanders to fall to them, but now that it's more realistic, it's becoming very clear how much they like his bravado and confidence. Nick said QB mobility is not a big thing to them since they are clearly pursuing Aaron Rodgers. How much can Sanders move? Nick the mechanics are the things to work on with Sanders – he has it figured out above the shoulders. Nick thinks the plan for Sanders would be to start the guy in 2025 at some point. But how much changes if Rodgers is here? How much do the Steelers like Jaxson Dart? What has changed with the Steelers brass since the Senior Bowl and combine? Out of middle round QBs, Nick likes the idea of Will Howard being the Steelers selection at 83rd overall. Nick doesn't see Tyler Shough happening. Nick confirmed what he has heard about Derrick Harmon, who has some medical red flags going into the draft, which could result in him falling a bit in the 1st round. Poni went through some of the defensive line class and Nick explained why the Steelers should double-dip. More w/ Nick – Nick said the 2026 QB class will be better than what we see this year and that he personally wouldn't draft Shedeur Sanders on Thursday night. Nick said the Steelers clearly value the ‘high-floor' that Sanders has, but questioned how much better that makes them in the AFC. Nick doesn't think there is a ton of blue chippers in this draft, so trading back will all depend on who is on the board. Nick is pretty adamant that the Steelers are not going to trade George Pickens and they will wait until after the draft to talk contract. Nick thinks 3rd round or later is the spot for WR, but doesn't think there's a guarantee that one gets picked early. Where does Roman Wilson fall into things on offense? Poni asked Nick about some guys that could fall to them on Thursday. More w/ Nick – The guys talked about the concerning idea of the Steelers drafting Shemar Stewart on Thursday night, who Nick compared to DeMarvin Leal. Nick doesn't like the idea of the team taking a big safety in the 1st round either. Nick expects the 3rd or 4th round pick to be a runner. Nick isn't sold on the Steelers signing a veteran RB unless they come away without one this weekend. Nick said the Steelers really like Kenneth Gainwell in that backfield as the third man. How could it work if the Steelers have a trade back scenario?

Host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey to discuss the Steelers' interest in running backs ahead of the NFL draft. What should we make of the fact that nine of the team's 30 pre-draft visitors play the position? How much belief should OC Arthur Smith have in internal options like Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell? Will GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin look to make a big splash and take a projected Day 1 option like Omarion Hampton to replace Najee Harris as a 1,000-yard caliber back? Or will they look to Days 2 and 3 with an eye toward building depth in the form of names like DJ Giddens, Bhayshul Tuten, Dylan Sampson, Ollie Gordon II, Jaydon Blue, Kaleb Johnson, RJ Harvey and TreVeyon Henderson?

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo recap their final seven-round mocks ahead of the NFL draft next week. Why did both choose Oregon DL Derrick Harmon over other DL options like Walter Nolen and Kenneth Grant? And projected first-round options at other positions like Jahdae Barron at CB, Omarion Hampton at RB and Shedeur Sanders or Jaxson Dart at QB? Will coach Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan chase speed at RB on Day 2 with names like Dylan Sampson and Bhayshul Tuten? How would those guys pair with internal options like Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell? Can Tyler Shough and Will Howard be capable backups to Mason Rudolph and -- possibly -- Aaron Rodgers quickly? And why are OT Logan Brown, WR Konata Mumpfield, Ty Robinson, Jamaree Caldwell and Yahya Black among names to watch as potential Day 3 games? Our duo tackles those questions and more. For more sports, visit post-gazette.com.

On their weekly Steelers NFL mock draft tracker video, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko react to the week in projected picks for the team from around the Internet. -Does GM Omar Khan's heavy focus on QBs like Shedeur Sanders and Jaxson Dart in top 30 visits signal a preference to target that position over defensive line and names like Derrick Harmon, Kenneth Grant, Walter Nolen and others? Or should we not read too far into the players coach Mike Tomlin is seeing up close? -What does it mean for defensive line scouting that Harmon has visited the team but names such as Nolen, Grant, Darius Alexander and Alfred Collins have not? -Should we give Kyle McCord and his prodigious stats at Syracuse a longer look as a later-round QB option? -Is Emeka Egbuka underrated as a complement to George Pickens and DK Metcalf? -How closely should we be watching defensive linemen projected for later rounds? Names like Ty Robinson and JJ Pegues? -Is Bhayshul Tuten the home run hitter this backfield needs next to Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell? Or should the Steelers being looking more at power backs like Omarion Hampton, Kaleb Johnson or Devin Neal? -Do defensive backs like Maxwell Hairston and Denzel Burke make any sense?

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. How closely should GM Omar Khan, coach Mike Tomlin and the Steelers consider drafting a RB in the first round to replace Najee Harris alongside Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell? Are names like Ashton Jeanty, Omarion Hampton and Kaleb Johnson worth forgoing other positions of need to select? Do they need a defensive lineman like Derrick Harmon, Walter Nolen or Kenneth Grant more? And what should we make of colleague Gerry Dulac's reporting that RB could be an option in "any" round? Paul tackles those questions as well as the Pirates' series finale with the Tampa Bay Rays. Was Paul Skenes able to steady the ship after a 1-5 start to the season? And how hostile will fans be toward owner Bob Nutting, GM Ben Cherington and manager Shelton with the home opener looming Friday?

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo react to comments from Steelers GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin at NFL owners meetings over the weekend. Why do they not seem to be in any kind of rush to seal the deal with QB Aaron Rodgers in NFL free agency? Does Rodgers' reported workout with Steelers WR DK Metcalf signal that a deal may be imminent? Or at least inevitable? What does it all mean for QB Mason Rudolph now that he's back under contract in Pittsburgh? And do positive comments about George Pickens signal that they team really believes in him for 2025 and beyond? Our duo tackles those topics, as well as the future of the running back position as the NFL draft looms. Should Khan pursue a marquee name to team with Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell in the backfield? Think an Ashton Jeanty or Omarion Hampton? Or are there depth options like Quinshon Judkins, Kaleb Johnson and others who could fit just as well?

On their weekly podcast, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey react to the Steelers' offseason moves so far. How do moves for names like DK Metcalf, Kenneth Gainwell, Darius Slay and -- potentially -- Aaron Rodgers compare to GM Omar Khan's action in his first two seasons? Does this group compare well with the 2023 NFL free agency class that included Elandon Roberts, Larry Ogunjobi and Isaac Seumalo? Or the 2024 group that included Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, Patrick Queen and DeShon Elliott? Will a lack of NFL draft picks naturally lead to a less bountiful offseason? And how should the stockpiling of compensatory picks for 2026 factor into this conversations? Later, the guys get into some college talk with Pitt, Penn State and West Virginia all stating spring practice. Are eyes on Drew Allar in Happy Valley as he looks to shake off a College Football Playoff loss to Notre Dame? Can he get the most out of a loaded roster that includes returnees such as Nick Singleton, Kaytron Allen and more? And are receiver transfers Devonte Ross and Kyron Hudson enough to help the passing game as it loses Tyler Warren to the NFL? In Morgantown, what kind of difference can the return of coach Rich Rodriguez make? And can Eli Holstein, Desmond Reid and the Panthers emerge from mediocrity? Our duo tackles those questions. Then in the third segment, airing on the PG Pirates YouTube channel, Adam and Jason get into predictions for the Pirates and the MLB season. How many wins will manager Derek Shelton's club rack up? Can Paul Skenes, Mitch Keller and the pitching staff push them over the .500 mark? Or will the lineup led by Oneil Cruz, Bryan Reynolds and Ke'Bryan Hayes continue to struggle like it has in years past? What should we make of Carmen Mlodzinski earning a rotation spot? How will the catching situation play out with Endy Rodriguez making the Opening Day roster and Henry Davis starting in Class AAA? And why haven't we hear from owner Bob Nutting this spring?

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. Are GM Omar Khan, coach Mike Tomlin and the Steelers having a better or worse NFL offseason than their AFC North rivals? How do the Steelers acquisitions of names including DK Metcalf, Darius Slay, Kenneth Gainwell and -- potentially -- Aaron Rodgers stack up with what the Browns have done in extending star pass rusher Myles Garrett? What about the Bengals and their key extensions for receivers Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase? Or the Baltimore Ravens with WR DeAndre Hopkins? Paul tackles those topics, the reacts to the latest from Pirates spring training as they prepare to open their season Thursday.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the Steelers starting running back situation entering the 2025 season. The team let Najee Harris go into free agency, without even making a significant attempt to re-sign him, and they added only former Philadelphia Eagles third-down back Kenneth Gainwell in the free agency process. There is still a draft to go, but it seems clear that the Steelers intend to hand the reins at running back to Jaylen Warren in 2025. Is that wise? Harris was a four-time thousand-yard rusher, something Warren has not done in his pro career. But he's never had the opportunity to, either. Warren will be getting the lion's share of the reps for the first time, and while he's been the change-of-base back, he's been statistically dominant when compared to Harris in the three years they shared the Steelers backfield. So will Warren work out as RB1? Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On their weekly Steelers NFL mock draft tracker podcast, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko recap the week in projected picks for the team from around the Internet. -Is Derrick Harmon of Oregon emerging as the new consensus first-round choice, as receivers like Emeka Egbuka, Matthew Golden and Luther Burden III fade following the DK Metcalf trade? And how does Harmon compare to other possible Day 1 options like Michigan's Kenneth Grant? -Why do RB Omarion Hampton and CB Jahdae Brown remain popular choices despite the Steelers signing Kenneth Gainwell and Darius Slay at their respective positions via NFL free agency? -What should we make of the volatile draft stock of QBs like Shedeur Sanders and Jaxson Dart? How realistic are they as Day 1 options for the Steelers as the drama swirling around Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson persists? -Will Alfred Collins be available as a potential late Day 2 option on the defensive line?

On his weekly Chipped Ham & Football podcast, Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko welcomes NFL Network's Judy Battista to react to the team's moves -- or lack thereof -- in NFL free agency. Did GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin do enough to improve the roster beyond the big trade for WR DK Metcalf? Is it impossible to grade the team's moves until we know how the QB drama will resolve, with Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson and Mason Rudolph all still among options who may start? Do moves for names including Darius Slay, Kenneth Gainwell, Malik Harrison and others move the needle enough to make the free agency period a success? Or are they smaller moves without much impact? Our duo tackles those questions, then reacts to moves across the AFC North with the Browns acting aggressively to extend Myles Garrett and acquire Kenny Pickett in a trade; the Bengals locking up key weapons for QB Joe Burrow by extending Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase; and the Ravens bringing in names including DeAndre Hopkins to help Lamar Jackson. Brian and Judy end the show with conversation about how the game of QB musical chairs between the Steelers, Giants and Vikings may end.

On their weekly Steelers NFL mock draft tracker video, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter analyze the week in projected picks for the team from around the Internet and the impact NFL free agency is having on them. -Should the Steelers still be considering Day 1 WR targets including Emeka Egbuka, Luther Burden III and Matthew Golden? Or did the DK Metcalf trade fill the need at that position alongside names like George Pickens, Calvin Austin III and Roman Wilson? -What do the Steelers need in a defensive tackle after choosing not to address the spot in free agency? Are they all in on great run-pass combos like Derrick Harmon and Kenneth Grant? Or will they look at more specialized names like Darius Alexander? -Where could they choose a QB after missing out on younger free agents like Justin Fields and Sam Darnold? Is Jaxson Dart on Day 1 a live option? Or should projected later-round picks like Will Howard still be their focus at this position? How does the signing of Kenneth Gainwell affect plans for the RB room? Will they bring in a big name like Ashton Jeanty or Omarion Hampton? Or are their later-round names to watch who could make sense in a committee with Gainwell and Jaylen Warren? -And will GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin consider drafting a CB early? Or are the Steelers finally well stocked at that spot after signing Darius Slay and Brandin Echols to a group that already included Joey Porter Jr., Cory Trice Jr. and Beanie Bishop?

New Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell speaks to reporters at his introduction Thursday. He explains why he wanted to play for coach Mike Tomlin after winning the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles last season; his level of excitement to work with Jaylen Warren in the Steelers' two-back system following the departure of Najee Harris in NFL free agency; and how he sees his fit in coordinator Arthur Smith's two-back system.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. How much should Aaron Rodgers be worth to the Steelers in NFL free agency? Is he worth $40 million or more per year? How much would be too much to pay him as negotiations drag on, with Russell Wilson still available in the market? And should GM Omar Khan, coach Mike Tomlin and Co. consider seeking a trade for the Patriots' Joe Milton III? Paul tackles those topics, then gives his thoughts on the Kenneth Gainwell signing. Is the former Philadelphia Eagle an adequate replacement for Najee Harris? Or just a placeholder next to Jaylen Warren for now? And should the Steelers still pursue an NFL draft running back like Ashton Jeanty, Omarion Hampton or Quinshon Judkins in later rounds if they're available?

Send us a textDrew and Rob team up on "2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates" to break down the New York Giants' season finale against the NFC East champion Philadelphia Eagles. The cohosts dive into every aspect of the game, analyzing the key plays, standout performances, and critical moments that defined this divisional matchup.  For the Giants, this game marked the end of a grueling 2024 season. With the team entering the game at 3-13, many fans were split on whether to root for a win or hope for a loss to secure a higher draft pick. Drew and Rob discuss how this controversial debate shaped the atmosphere heading into the game and reflect on the team's performance under these circumstances.  A major storyline was the absence of former Giant Saquon Barkley, who sat out for the Eagles while just 101 yards shy of breaking the NFL's single-season rushing record. Drew and Rob explore how Barkley's absence impacted the game and the emotions tied to seeing him in a rival uniform after years as a cornerstone of the Giants' franchise.  Speculation surrounding the future of Head Coach Brian Daboll and General Manager Joe Schoen also took center stage, with rumors suggesting this may have been Daboll's final game leading the team. The cohosts analyze how the game—and the season as a whole—might influence the Giants' leadership decisions heading into 2025.  The Eagles, having locked up the NFC's No. 2 seed, rested many starters, including their quarterback Jalen Hurts. The Giants faced rookie quarterback Tanner McKee, who led an offense featuring younger players like Kenneth Gainwell, Will Shipley, and Jahan Dotson. On the Giants' side, Drew Lock made his fifth start of the season and looked to build on last week's career-best performance against the Colts. Drew and Rob evaluate Lock's play, assessing whether he could factor into the Giants' future plans.  The Giants also aimed to snap a decade-long losing streak at Lincoln Financial Field while chasing their first NFC East win of the season. Drew and Rob review whether Big Blue finally overcame these hurdles or fell short again. They also touch on the performances of key players, the coaching staff's approach, and how this game sets the stage for the offseason.  Whether you're celebrating a rare divisional win or lamenting another tough loss, Drew and Rob's postgame reaction has all the insights, analysis, and banter Giants fans crave.

The Philadelphia Eagles soared to victory in the Keystone State clash against the Pittsburgh Steelers, silencing doubters with a dominant passing performance! After all the criticism surrounding the struggles of the passing game and the misinterpretation of AJ Brown's quotes, Jalen Hurts unleashed was highly efficient and connected with Brown and DeVonta Smith for big gains consistently all game. This begs the question: Does Hurts not get enough credit as a passer as he should? Another offensive player who stepped up in big spots was Kenneth Gainwell. Do you think the coaches should lighten up on Saquon Barkley's workload in the season's final few games and give Gainwell more touches to help keep Saquon fresher for the playoffs? Join the conversation and tell us your takeaways from the Eagles' 10th straight victory! Like, Comment, and Subscribe for more!    / a2dradio  Facebook:   / a2dradio  Instagram:   / a2dradio  X:   / a2dradio  Website: http://a2dradio.com/2_______________ Thank you for your continued  support!Specialized Physical Therapy: https://specializedphysicaltherapy.com/Boaggiosbread: https://boaggiosbread.com/Alan Foy: https://www.exprealty.com/
