Podcast appearances and mentions of Mason Rudolph

Dave Dameshek wouldn't be too surprised if tonight resulted in an opportunity for Mason Rudolph to get some revenge on the Browns. PFT Commenter would much rather travel across the country with Aaron Rodgers over Tom Brady, and Missi Matthews previews tonight's matchup in Cleveland. Plus, the Week 3 Pick Six and more

TJ Watt has officially been placed on IR so he is out for at least the next 4 games. What will the Steelers look like when he returns? Cam Heyward said Malik Reed will be the next man up. Poni compared Reed to Tyrone Carter, who filled in for Troy Polamalu at times when Troy missed games due to injury.  Chris Hoke joined Cook & Joe earlier today. He suggested a route that could see Mason Rudolph playing important snaps for the Steelers this season. Poni thinks it's ludicrous. The guys agreed that Kenny Pickett will be the way the team goes if Mitch Trubisky struggles, not Rudolph.  NFL Picks: TB -2.5 @ NO, IND -3.5 @ JAX

Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike talked about the impact of losing TJ Watt for 4-6 weeks and how the defense/team can adjust. The guys congratulated Mike for predicting a Steelers win and getting the score on the nose. He gave his report card of Mitch Trubisky on the day and his general thoughts on the QBs debut with Pittsburgh. Mike talked about what Trubisky can do to keep the people rooting for Kenny Pickett off his back. Mike said he's hopeful the Steelers crank it up a little bit on offense with the absence of Watt on defense because it will be hard to win games their way the entire season. The guys asked Mike about where the Patriots are right now and how people aren't used to seeing Bill Belichick in the position he's in. He wondered how long Robert Kraft gives Belichick to get something done in the post-Tom Brady era. The guys asked about Brady and if there's any shot he retires midseason due to struggles in his marriage. Mike said the Cowboys have likely made all the calls they planned on making to trade for a QB with Dak Prescott hurt as Mason Rudolph is still a member of the Steelers roster. He doesn't expect Dallas to go anywhere outside the organization to fill the void. 

A breakdown of Mitch Trubisky chatting with the media earlier today. He was asked about some miscommunication with George Pickens and why there was no connection between himself and the rookie WR. Chris said Trubisky is a former 2nd overall pick that played with the fear of a player with zero pedigree. Poni wondered if it was almost a cry for help in hoping Mike Tomlin and Matt Canada will allow him to take more risk in the offense. After what Tomlin said over the summer, all he is looking for is an ordinary quarterback that doesn't turn the ball over or screw things up. The guys said this offense might work against teams like New England, but when Tampa Bay and Buffalo come up on the schedule – good luck.  Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show.

The Steelers will be w/out Watt for some time, but not the full season. How do the Steelers handle his loss? Dorin says the defense is going to have to give different looks. Chris said this is where Austin and Flores make their money. He also points to Highsmith needing to continue to step up. We all agree that T.J. Watt should never play a preseason game again in his life. GET MONEY. Colin thinks he saw an undercover agent. He saw a nun wearing a neck brace speed walking. Was the Steelers win over the Bengals a fluke? How much stock do you put in a week 1 performance? TWITTER POLL: Is Bill Belichick the best NFL coach of all time? Rich Eisen says the Cowboys should overpay for Mason Rudolph. 

Ray Fittipaldo says the Browns logo looks like the Keebler Elf. Ray said that he's hearing that Najee Harris did re injure his foot. He thinks the Steelers will be creative defensively to try to make up for the loss of Watt. Ray thinks the Steelers will open up the offense if the game story dictates they do that. Ray thinks Steelers fans have realistic expectations for Trubisky and won't boo him on Sunday. Ray says the Steelers should ask the Cowboys for a 4th round pick for Mason Rudolph.

Colin said Joe Gibbs is underrated.  Colin says there's a fanbase that we should all hate more than any others.

Rich recaps to the mindboggling end to Monday Night Football's Broncos-Seahawks game where Denver's rookie head coach Nathaniel Hackett chose to pull Russell Wilson off the field and go for a 64-yard field goal instead, and reacts to Wilson's post game comments where he said all the right things but might have been thinking something different. Fox Sports NFL Analyst and former Broncos lineman Mark Schlereth tells Rich how Denver HC Nathaniel Hackett poorly managed the end of his team's MNF loss to Pete Carroll's Seattle Seahawks. Rich and the guys debate the Dallas Cowboys' options at QB in the wake of Dak Prescott's thumb surgery including turning to backup Cooper Rush or bringing in a veteran place holder like Jimmy Garoppolo or Steelers' backup Mason Rudolph.

ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi Kinkhabwala – Aditi joined the guys to talk about the Steelers win over the Bengals yesterday and the other stories out of the AFC North. She said the TJ Watt injury could take down the Steelers season, but there are other big-time players on that defense. She got into the Najee Harris injury and talked about what the team should do if he's out for a few weeks. Aditi talked about how the Steelers offensive line and run game will need to be more aggressive and physical to match the rest of the division – citing what the Browns were able to do successfully yesterday. Aditi said she exchanged texts with someone connected to the Bengals complaining about some coaching decisions. Aditi thinks Mitch Trubisky was smart and made good decisions in the win and the blame should be pointed to the offensive line. She talked about week one being a big learning curve and it's not always a telltale sign on what is to come for the whole season.  There are reports that Mike McCarthy and the Cowboys have a list of every available quarterback in the league. Jimmy Garoppolo appears to be at the top of the list. Where is Mason Rudolph? And should Dallas consider a retired QB like Phillip Rivers or…Ben Roethlisberger? Jay Glazer reported yesterday that we won't see Kenny Pickett all season – do you believe that? Zac Taylor was majorly outcoached by Mike Tomlin yesterday. The guys can't believe Taylor didn't challenge the touchdown/non-touchdown scored by Ja'Marr Chase. 

We breakdown the week 1 matchup of the Pittsburgh Steelers vs the Cincinnati Bengals and discuss how we feel the team played and what specific players played well and what others have some work to do. Why does the offense seem as lack luster as they were with an aging Big Ben? Does an injury to a starting QB for a high powered NFC team spell trade potential for Mason Rudolph? Go Steelers!

Does this change the season outlook for the Steelers? How about the Bengals? Colin wants to see more from Najee Harris. 6:26- GET MONEY 6:32-  THE FIVE 6:48- TWITTER POLL: Grade Mitch Trubisky's performance. We got into the call on Minkah at the end of the game.

“Bleav in Steelers” hosts Ike Taylor and Mark Bergin discuss how quarterback Mitch Trubisky will start for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The guys share their thoughts on how the quarterback battle played out between Trubisky, rookie Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph. Other topics include other observations from the Steelers' depth chart, the team naming its captains, the Steelers deciding to retire Franco Harris' No. 32 jersey and keys to the Week 1 matchup against the Bengals. The guys also briefly discuss Le'Veon Bell's upcoming boxing match against Adrian Peterson.

Merril Hoge ended up taking the locker of Franco Harris as a rookie with the Steelers, Mr. Wednesday has a white knuckle road rage experience, Craig Shoemaker has stories for ages, and Mark Madden doesn't buy the clerical error story regarding Mason Rudolph's depth chart debacle.

Tom and Jacob discuss Mike Tomlin's reasoning for the re-release of the depth chart that swapped Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph in the race for QB2.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike said the depth chart “error” was out there to help the trade value for Mason Rudolph. He said it doesn't help Kenny Pickett or Rudolph, and it would not take 19 hours to fix the mistake. The guys asked Mike if anything can be done with the new cap space by the TJ Watt contract reconstruction – he said the team could wait until after week one to sign a player with the extra money, but the Steelers aren't historically a team that chases names during the season. The Ravens have yet to sign Lamar Jackson to a big extension – Mike doesn't see a deal happening until Jackson hires a real agent. He described the contract as a “major issue” because Jackson reportedly wants a fully guaranteed deal, but thinks if Jackson had an agent it would be easier for something to get done. Mike's Steelers season prediction: no record given, but has them winning the AFC North, led by Kenny Pickett. 

Mason Rudolph was asked today if he has asked for a trade. He kept it professional, saying it was up to his agent and the Steelers front office. Should he have handled anything differently this offseason? Does he deserve better? Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show.

Award-winning 93.7 The Fan reporter Josh Rowntree joined the show. Josh talked about a near battle he got into in the Steelers locker room today with a national cameraman. The guys jumped to the team and Josh talked about what Mason Rudolph said today. Josh said he wouldn't blame Rudolph for requesting a trade. Josh gave his report on what to make of Diontae Johnson and the injury that could keep him out of Sunday's game. He said the vibe from Johnson wasn't very optimistic. 

Diontae Johnson was injured in the Steelers final preseason game. Despite Mike Tomlin saying Johnson would return if it were a regular season game, Johnson disputed that, and his status for Sunday is in question.  The contract of TJ Watt has been restructured, which gives the Steelers flexibility to add a player as the regular season comes around. Should the Steelers kick the tires on Eric Fisher? They don't need a generational talent at left tackle, but they need someone better than Dan Moore Jr. Poni speculated the team having money open to bring back Joe Haden. Chris said that concerns him for two reasons – they seem to be happy with the offensive line and they aren't happy with their corners. The guys agreed fixing, or at least attempting to fix the offensive line is the first move you have to make.  Award-winning 93.7 The Fan reporter Josh Rowntree joined the show.

Megan Gailey and Megan Connolly are back for a brand new Megan Fun of Sports! The podcast starts off with the Megans exclaiming how excited they are for the NFL season to begin! After giving out their Moron's and Mensch's of the Week, they debut their new betting segment where they each gave some NFL bets. Next they dove into all things NFL including: the Hard Knocks finale, previewing their respective favorite teams seasons (Colts and Patriots), Trey Lance's issue with Jimmy G still on the team, the Steelers depth chart mishap and if the Bears should build a dome stadium? Then after quickly going through some NBA and MLB news the duo gets to college football where Brian Kelly finds himself in the news again, Gailey's Purdue Boilermakers lost a close game and the playoff expands to 12 teams. They round out the show discussing the legendary careers of Serena Williams and Sue Bird.

Doug went into great detail on how a depth chart was released in Buffalo. He said the head coach would give it to the PR director who would then circulate it around the building to make sure everything was okay. Doug says the Steelers could have been playing Cincy as much as the Pittsburgh media w/ their depth chart shenanigans. Doug says the Bengals probably aren't preparing all that much for a backup QB, but instead studying the Matt Canada system. Doug thinks that Kenny Pickett is a better QB now than Mason Rudolph. Doug broke down the difference in practice snaps between QB1, 2, and 3. He said Mason MAY get 5% of the snaps this week, but maybe not even that many. Doug says every new stadium should have a retractable roof. He doesn't think the Steelers will ever play outside the city limits.Doug says that in Buffalo he'd like to have 3.5 mil in cap space going into a season. He thinks the Steelers should add an OT and shouldn't wait around.  Doug thinks the offensive line should have gelled already. We discuss that the Steelers haven't done enough on the offensive line and they should have seen this coming. Doug has now put the onus on Matt Canada to figure this out. Doug says that he thinks Myles Jack is going to have a good year. 

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Tony Serino of the AFC North Talk Podcast and SteelerCountry. The Pittsburgh Steelers admitted they made a mistake on their first depth chart of the regular season and that Kenny Pickett was really QB2. But some people think it wasn't a mistake, and more about conspiracies that run wild among Steelers fans. Which one was most believable? And was this really about trying to work a Mason Rudolph trade? And when does Mitch Trubisky hand over the offense to Pickett? Also, Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals dominated the Steelers last year. But the way to get to Burrow is more about how the Steelers dominate other parts of the Bengals' roster. We'll break down how it will come down to stopping Joe Mixon, limiting Burrow's deep shots and winning with four pass rushers. That will require aggression from Cam Heyward, Larry Ogunjobi, T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, along with detailed coverage from Cameron Sutton, Levi Wallace and Ahkello Witherspoon to limit big plays to Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

The BIG Steelers announcement from today: Franco Harris will have his number retired by the franchise during the Christmas Eve matchup with the Raiders this year for the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception. This will only be the third jersey retired by the Steelers, following Ernie Stautner and Joe Greene. Does this open the door for more legendary players to have their numbers retired by the team, since there are more qualified players than Franco to not have the honor? The guys think Franco's involvement with the team over the years was a big deciding factor.  Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the Post-Gazette joined the show. Ray believes the clerical error that resulted in listing Kenny Pickett as the third QB in yesterday's release. Ray is happy the switch was made because he feels Pickett should be the team's backup on Sunday. Ray said Devin Bush being a starter doesn't mean that he's safe to keep that spot and Robert Spillane is right behind him awaiting his chance. He got into who may have play calling duties for the defense on Sunday. Ray commented on Mason Rudolph and where he might be mentally after being thrown around the ringer again. The guys asked Ray about the team captains and he shared that Mitch Trubisky being a captain is normal – Mike Tomlin has only twice not named the starting QB the captain. Ray predicts the Steelers to finish 8-9 and also referenced offensive line trouble. 

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jeff Hathhorn of 93.7 The Fan. The Pittsburgh Steelers named Najee Harris and Mitch Trubisky as their new offensive captains along with T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward and Miles Killebrew for defense and special teams. But are Harris and Trubisky the right faces for the team? Chris Carter and Jeff Hathhorn think so, and that this could be the right tone Mike Tomlin wants to set for when Kenny Pickett may someday take over the for the offense and as a leader. But Pickett was listed as QB3 on the Steelers depth chart, behind both Trubisky and Mason Rudolph. That doesn't mean he lost out at training camp, but it does show a glimpse into how the Steelers want to handle the backup quarterbacks spot while Pickett continues to adjust to the NFL. Also, are the Steelers cornerbacks Ahkello Witherspoon, Cameron Sutton and Levi Wallace ready to take on Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Tyler Boyd and the Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers?

Copy and Paste. Ctrl C + Ctrl V. Apologies for any clerical errors in here. Mike Tomlin said that was what happened to the Steelers week one depth chart when Kenny Pickett was listed as the third string QB behind Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph. Pickett is in fact the backup. The guys had their fun with that. So now that it's settled, what does it mean for Sunday? How much of a leash does Trubisky have as the starter and a captain? A lot of blame was thrown on the Bears for Trubisky's struggles in Chicago – are we sure Matt Canada can fix that? Poni thinks Tomlin is looking ahead to when Pickett could start.  KDKA TV's Bob Pompeani joined the show. Bob had his hands full earlier today with the Steelers' technical difficulties during the Mike Tomlin press conference. Bob explained what happened with the Steelers coverage of the press conference today. He believes the depth chart incident was a “clerical error,” as Tomlin said. Bob said he was in the dark on the Franco Harris jersey retirement announcement until it happened. Bob predicts the Steelers to finish 9-8 because of the offensive line concerns. A bonus Pomp prediction – Buffalo and Philadelphia meet in the Super Bowl. 

As of now, the depth chart says Mason Rudolph is the QB2 and we react to that and if it makes any sense for that to be the case. 

ESPN ‘First Take' commentator Stephen A. Smith tells Rich why the Dallas Cowboys are in for another long and frustrating season, why he's predicting a Buffalo Bills vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers Super Bowl despite a big push from the Los Angeles Chargers in the AFC, and says why the Brooklyn Nets should be applauded for not giving in to Kevin Durant's trade demands.  Bills LB Von Miller tells Rich why he opted to sign with Buffalo after winning the Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams and what it would mean to finally deliver a ring to Bills Mafia, what makes Buffalo QB Josh Allen so special, and what it's like playing the role of wise veteran in the locker room. Rich and Brockman recap LSU's painful loss to Florida State and Georgia's domination of the Oregon Ducks, and react to the Pittsburgh Steelers naming Mitchell Trubisky their starting QB over rookie Kenny Pickett and veteran backup Mason Rudolph.

93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff reacted to the newly released Steelers depth chart, which has Kenny Pickett as third string. Jeff shared the same theory as Donny – saying Mason Rudolph will basically be a safety net for the week one game in Cincinnati, which is a perfect example of someone living in his fears. Jeff thinks Mike Tomlin in a way is having fun with the media with this move. Chris asked Jeff about Devin Bush being an undisputed starter on this defense ahead of Robert Spillane. Jeff mentioned the other things that stood out to him with the depth chart – including Levi Wallace not being listed as a starter, but he said there are a lot of options and combinations with the defensive backfield. 

BREAKING NEWS: Steelers depth chart for Week 1 is out – Kenny Pickett is listed as third string. Mason Rudolph is the backup even though Pickett took most of the training camp and preseason reps at second string. Chris and Donny agreed – it doesn't make any sense. What is the reasoning?  93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff reacted to the newly released Steelers depth chart, which has Kenny Pickett as third string.

Chris and Donny still in disbelief over Kenny Pickett at QB3.  More reaction to the Steelers week one depth chart with Kenny Pickett as QB3. Is Mike Tomlin throwing a bone to Mason Rudolph? The stunning move of the day is Rudolph over Pickett for the backup spot behind Mitch Trubisky. Chris is puzzled and said it doesn't make sense for Tomlin to go this route. A guy that was once pulled for Duck Hodges still finds his way as the backup QB. Chris said it makes more sense if the Steelers would have drafted Malik Willis or a more raw talent in the draft, not the most “pro-ready” rookie quarterback. What does this move accomplish? Chris said nothing.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers fielded several calls from other NFL teams about quarterback Mason Rudolph for trade interests. However, Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan aren't interested in moving their 5th year quarterback unless it's for the right price. Some may see that as a mistake with Kenny Pickett and Mitch Trubisky on the roster, but Chris Carter argues why it's a smart move to hold onto Rudolph with two unproven quarterbacks ahead of him on the depth chart. Speaking of depth charts, it's time to break down the expected 53-man roster with predictions, explanations of who will go on IR, and who might be coming to the Steelers, including former Baltimore Ravens safety Tony Jefferson after Damontae Kazee's injury.

Rich reacts to the Mariners giving rookie OF Julio Rodriguez a huge long-term contract and makes a desperate plea for someone to take out the Houston Astros before his Yankees have to face them in the playoffs.  Rich explains why it's not too soon for the 49ers to throw QB Trey Lance into the fire as their starter over Jimmy Garoppolo. ‘Brother from Another' co-host Michael Smith and Rich discuss his new gig on Amazon Prime's ‘Thursday Night Football' coverage, says why Trey Lance's early struggles as the 49ers QB1 could pay off huge dividends down the road, why Kevin Durant and the Nets were able to mend fences after a summer of strife, why Russell Westbrook should swallow his beef with Patrick Beverley and “beg” to stay with the Lakers and why Lamar Jackson negotiating his own contract with the Baltimore Ravens might not be in his own best interests.  Rich reacts to Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin officially announcing his QB depth chart among Mitchell Trubisky, Mason Rudolph and Kenny Pickett for the team's final pre-season game this weekend.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive line has a major guard problem with James Daniels and Kendrick Green. But is the answer to trade for J.C. Tretter? And can Kevin Dotson get healthy enough to fix the problem? The answer might need a move from Omar Khan, or just more creative scheming for the Steelers mobile quarterbacks in Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett or Mason Rudolph. Speaking of Rudolph, the calls to trade him for a draft pick miss the mark. Chris Carter sees that as a bad idea, and he references what the Steelers went through in 2019 with Rudolph and Devlin Hodges when Ben Roethlisberger got hurt. Rudolph should be a "break glass in case of emergency QB." And that's fine. Also, Robert Spillane, Chase Claypool, Mason Cole and even Devin Bush were players who looked better on a film review of the Steelers' preseason win over the Jacksonville Jaguars than they did live.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, with a bonus episode. The Pittsburgh Steelers won their preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars 16-15. But Kenny Pickett impressed again and maybe made his biggest push to surpass Mason Rudolph Saturday night as he looked efficient with the first team offense. Meanwhile, Rudolph did throw his own game-winning touchdown. Has Pickett passed Rudolph? And will either of them catch Mitch Trubisky? Also, the offensive line looked terrible. And a lot of this stems from James Daniels' poor play. He could be the key to fixing it all. Finally, safety play from Terrell Edmunds and Damontae Kazee were a very good sign for the defense.
