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 assess Aaron Rodgers' play at QB this year. Does he deserve the "inconsistent" label after his latest performance against the Browns? Can his personnel plausibly be blamed with DK Metcalf absent? Or did should Rodgers still have been expected to do more with Kenneth Gainwell, Jaylen Warren, Adam Thielen, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Pat Friermuth, Scotty Miller and others available as options? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks defense. How close is the unit to living up to Mike Tomlin's preseason expectations that it be "historic." What's the biggest factor in the turnaround over the past month? Is Derrick Harmon the simple answer? Or is it more complicated than that. How much credit do Tomlin and DC Teryl Austin deserve for the secondary, which has shined with an ensemble cast that includes Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr., James Pierre, Brandin Echols, Asante Samuel Jr. and Kyle Dugger? And how many offenses remain in the AFC playoff picture that could pose problems for this group? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Or will DC Teryl Austin need to rely on Alex Highsmith, Jack Sawyer and Nick Herbig at outside linebacker onces again? And if so, are those guys ready for the challenge of slowing elite Ravens running back Derrick Henry? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks offense. How can OC Arthur Smith and QB Aaron Rodgers get more out of the unit than we saw last week against the Browns? Especially with DK Metcalf and possibly Darnell Washington out of action?

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder and Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo analyze coach Mike Tomlin's recent aggressiveness on fourth downs. Why has the traditionally conservative coach been taking more chances? Is it a high degree of faith in the team's "tush push" play with Connor Heyward?

Live around 5 p.m., Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise analyzes the Steelers' offseason following this dismissal of $10 million CB Darius Slay and the benching of WR Roman Wilson. How much heat does GM Omar Khan deserve for signing the 34-year-old Slay to such a rich contract? Would the team have been better off investing that hefty salary elsewhere? Or does he deserve credit for the emergence of James Pierre and Brandin Echols within coach Mike Tomlin's defense? On the other side of the ball, was Khan's faith in Wilson as a viable receiver in this offense warranted? Or is the promotion of Adam Thielen and Marquez Valdes-Scantling from the practice squad a de facto admission that the team's plan at the position was inadequate behind DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III? Paul tackles those questions and also gives his thoughts on Philip Rivers joining the Indianapolis Colts as they compete with Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers for an AFC playoff spot.

93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff talked about TJ Watt no-showing in a game against a pair of backup tackles. When will the Steelers start to use their TEs? Jeff doesn't understand why Pat Freiermuth is being frozen out of this offense, but credits him a ton for taking the high-road in chats with the media. The guys noted how Jonnu Smith wasn't brought up by Aaron Rodgers today in his media session. What happened with the Darius Slay breakup? Jeff talked about what Adam Thielen looked like on his first day, but isn't sure whose spot he takes in the lineup. Jeff doesn't think Marquez Valdes-Scantling has gotten much of a true opportunity to show what he has left. Ravens 28, Steelers 17 is Jeff's prediction for Sunday in Baltimore.

Tomlin Tuesday had the guys a bit fiery following the loss to the Bears with a very odd takeaway from Mike Tomlin – blaming the punting/kickoff game for a big reason why the Steelers lost the game. Poni put the ‘mediocre' mantra on Tomlin and said it was unfair of him to put it on Mason Rudolph. What is Mike's record since the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger? Tomlin was also a wise ass to Chris Carter after asking an X's & O's type question. The Bears dirty, bouncy balls played the big factor. Some stats on Mike Tomlin in his last few years as head coach.

Mike Tomlin isn't worried about Aaron Rodgers after the other night. Poni thinks it was a bad enough game to scare him about the season's future with him at QB. At what point are we ready for Mason Rudolph? There should be bounce back games against the Bengals and Bears, given their defenses. Even if the Steelers go to Rudolph and he bails them out again, it still makes Tomlin look bad. What would the threshold have to be for you to bench Rodgers?

The NFL trade deadline has come and gone, and the league looks completely different. MTP Power Rankings hosts Dave Clarke and Bob Kelly are here to break down every blockbuster trade, every questionable move, and every new contender as we head into Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season. The Jets blew it up in dramatic fashion — Sauce Gardner traded to the Colts, Quinnen Williams shipped to the Cowboys, and Breece Hall rumored to be the next big name on the move. Dave calls it the biggest in-season rebuild in years, while Bobby questions whether either trade actually moves the needle. Did the Colts overpay for star power? Can Quinnen Williams fix a Cowboys defense that just got embarrassed by the Cardinals? The guys also break down the rest of the trade deadline deals: Rashid Shaheed heads to the Seahawks to give Sam Darnold more speed on offense to pair with Cooper Kupp and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jakobi Meyers heads to Jacksonville, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling brings veteran experience to the Steelers offense. Dave argues that Pittsburgh made one of the smartest under-the-radar moves of the deadline, while Bobby calls it “too little, too late.” Then, it’s on to the rankings — and there’s a major shakeup at the top.The Buffalo Bills reclaim the #1 spot after a statement win over the Kansas City Chiefs, dominating on both sides of the ball. The Buccaneers and Eagles stay steady at two and three, while the Patriots continue to climb behind Drake Maye’s control and maturity under Mike Vrabel’s leadership. The Rams, Colts, and Lions round out a competitive top tier, while teams like the Broncos and Seahawks are quietly building resumes that can’t be ignored. The Bears are another story — shocking the Bengals in what Dave calls “the craziest game of the season.” They praise Caleb Williams for his ability to deliver under pressure and highlight DJ Moore’s near-touchdown that flipped the game. But Bobby doesn’t let the special teams off the hook, calling their kickoff coverage “unacceptable.” Both agree Chicago’s arrow is pointing up, but they still need cleaner execution to stay in playoff contention. Other topics include the Packers’ embarrassing loss to the Panthers, Steelers’ defensive turnaround, and Bo Nix’s underrated run in Denver. The guys agree this season feels more unpredictable than ever, with few dominant teams and plenty of parity across the league. Dave also takes aim at the officiating inconsistencies and revisits the debate over the “tush push” — calling for a rule change after too many controversial calls. By the end of the episode, every team gets its place: contenders, pretenders, and those officially crossed off for the season.

On the Thursday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise to analyze reports that free agent CB Asante Samuel Jr. will visit the Steelers next week. Would GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin securing a deal with the veteran make up for their quiet NFL trade deadline? Or would it still be reasonable for fans to want to see more new faces beyond Kyle Dugger and Marquez Valdes-Scantling? What are the chances Sameul ever arrives here considering broad interest in him from teams around the league? If the Steelers miss out, will they regret not adding a CB next to Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr. and Darius Slay Jr.? And what should we make of reports saying Khan was close to completing a deal for Jakobi Meyers or another WR to pair with DK Metcalf as a weapon for Aaron Rodgers? Our duo tackles those questions and takes stock of the Steelers' place in the AFC pecking order.
