Less than a month away from the MLB trade deadline, should the Pirates consider moving Bryan Reynolds? For the right return, the guys said it isn't out of the question. The guys said if Reynolds is moved, it has to net a big time pitching prospect in return because that is what this roster lacks the most.   The Steelers plan on running the wheels off Najee Harris. Is that a smart move? Even though Le'Veon Bell was seemingly treated the same way, there were years with LeGarrette Blount and DeAngelo Williams that played key time in case of injury. The guys tossed some names around that the Steelers should consider to backup Harris before it's too late.   The best ‘American' songs. 

We're back to share our thoughts on which running backs could trap your fantasy team in 2022? Who are the names to avoid?

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV. The Pittsburgh Steelers made several coaching staff changes by adding Brian Flores as a defensive assistant, Pat Meyer as offensive line coach and Frisman Jackson as wide receivers coach under Mike Tomlin. But which of them will have the biggest impact on the 2022 season and beyond? Flores is an obvious choice with his pedigree and how closely he works with Devin Bush and Myles Jack while also helping across the defense. But Meyer has a very important task to fix the Steelers offensive line. Comments from Kevin Dotson, James Daniels and other Steelers linemen note how his experience has brought different upsides than they've had in previous coaches. Frisman Jackson's approach appears to be more hands-on with the Steelers receivers, and that could help Chase Claypool, Diontae Johnson, George Pickens and Calvin Austin III set a new tone for the team. Also, a caller asks what it would take for Najee Harris to make second year leap like Jonathan Taylor did for the Indianapolis Colts. Is it more about Harris' improvement? Or does the rest of the offense just have to catch up? Brian Flores / Pat Meyer / Frisman Jackson: Who's the Most Important New Steelers Assistant Coach?

We've got a list of 10 players on the DO NOT DRAFT list, and it's all based on ADP. We also have some news (10:50) as Miles Sanders seems a bit frustrated with his role ... DO NOT DRAFT running backs include Javonte Williams (13:15) and Travis Etienne (19:05) for Dave. There is only one quarterback on the list and it's Joe Burrow (21:50) for Heath. When are we comfortable drafting these guys? ... At tight end, Heath says Kyle Pitts is going too early (26:15) but there is some disagreement. Meanwhile, we talk about four wide receivers who might be going too early with good debates on CeeDee Lamb (33:45), Diontae Johnson (36:15), D.K. Metcalf (39:00) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (44:15).

DOUG FARRAR of USA Today - Thinks Tomlin is great and teams would line up to hire him if he were ever fired. Doug thinks Trubisky will fit w/ in what Matt Canada wants to do in this offense. Doug called Kenny Pickett "good Kirk Cousins." Doug thinks that Diontae Johnson is a good player, but not as good as some of the other guys that have been paid this offseason. Doug called Brian Flores one of the best defensive minds in the league. "Najee Harris does everything well, and nothing spectacularly."We name Chris Mueller child. Starkey Mueller? How about Starkey Seibol. JIM COLONY jumped on with us. Is this man really retired? We play an Albert Breer clip talking about the NFL's appeal process. EPIC ENDING

Ray thinks the "Diontae Johnson ship sailed" when Christian Kirk signed his deal with Jacksonville. Ray was surprised by Ross Tucker's comments on Najee Harris. Ray thinks he can be an Emmitt Smith type back!!! He's that kind of back. Not a breakaway speed guy. "There's no reason Najee Harris can't be Nick Chubb. I think he's every bit as good as that guy." Ray addressed what the cost would be to slap the franchise tag on Johnson. Ray thinks Larry Ogunjobi can be really impactful. Colin had an unwelcome visitor knock on his door last night.  Crowley doesn't think the NFL ever should have become the morality police. The show debates. DORIN DICKERSON has been added to the Fan Morning Show!

The Good Morning Football Podcast begins with the Giants looking to transform their team. Hosts Peter Schrager, Kyle Brandt, Sara Walsh, and Super Bowl Champion Jason McCourty discuss the expectations on Kayvon Thibodeaux and Daniel Jones.  Turning our attention to running backs, Kyle explains why Jonathan Taylor will not win the rushing title this year. Jason lays out plans for the Patriots to go further in the playoffs before Broncos RB Melvin Gordon drops by to discuss Russell WIlson joining Denver and his rivalry with teammate Javonte Williams.  Staying in the AFC West, the table explores Derek Carr saying the Raiders are being overlooked. The Good Morning Football Podcast is part of the NFL Podcast Network. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Baldy gives us an overview of how he sees the AFC North playing out this year, including why he thinks Baker Mayfield is still a legit NFL starting QB and why Najee Harris is due for a breakout season. 

June 28, 2022 - Season 12, Episode 145 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Tuesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking more about the Pittsburgh Steelers current salary cap situation on the heels of the contract numbers related to the signings of quarterback Kenny Pickett and defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi both hitting the NFLPA. We also discuss a $3.5 million error made by the NFLPA that needs to be straightened out.Alex and I look at the Steelers projected usable salary cap space as of Tuesday morning and have a long talk about how much of a buffer the team will decide to keep going into the 2022 regular season. We discuss the possibility of the team maybe restructuring the contract of outside linebacker T.J. Watt later in the offseason.An additional segment from The Pivot Podcast interview with Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was released since our last show so Alex and I recap two main talking points that we took away from it. One is the impact of the Steelers loss to the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl on the Hall of Fame candidacy of wide receiver Hines Ward. The other centers around the NFL game changing related to how the Steelers defense used to play back in 2010 and prior.Former Steelers inside linebacker Vince Williams had some interesting things to say during his interview on The Arthur Moats Experience With Deke podcast so Alex and I make sure to cover a few items from that show.As part of us continuing to preview Steelers players ahead of training camp get underway, Alex and I spend the Tuesday show discussing Ulysees Gilbert III, Kendrick Green, Joe Haeg, Najee Harris, Pressley Harvin III, and J.C. Hassenauer in this episode.

OTAS and minicamp are behind us and training camp is right around the corner. With the first episode of our team preview mini series, Andrew and Mike take a deep dive into the Steelers fantasy outlook for this season, dissecting all positions.Enjoy a Najee flag-plant from Andrew and find out why the underlying data doesn't have Mike quite as optimistic. Players discussed in this preview include: Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett, Najee Harris, Diontae Johnson, Chase Claypool, George Pickens, Calvin Austin, The Muth and a handful of comparable players from other squads.

Chris Meaney (@chrismeaney) previews the 2022 Miami Dolphins on this episode of Mean Streets. He looks at the Dolphins from an NFL Betting and Fantasy Football perspective. What will Tyreek Hill's numbers look like now that he'll be catching passes from Tua Tagovailoa and not Patrick Mahomes? The Dolphins picked up three new running backs in the offseason, including Chase Edmonds, Sony Michel and Raheem Mostert. Who will emerge as the RB to own in fantasy or will any?Meaney talks up Najee Harris as a strong target in round 1 of your Fantasy Football Drafts.

We revisit Ross Tucker saying that Najee Harris isn't a "guy." We name RB's that are better than him. We have him about 9 or 10th in the league. Mack thinks he will be a stud this year. If he's not a top-5 back is he a failure? NEIL WALKER- Neil Walker had a 5am flight out of Pittsburgh to Denver. Neil says the Pirates should offer Cruz a contract and put him in a position where he has to say "no." Neil says when he was young that players told him "get to arbitration healthy." Neil had a bear in his yard. Colin saw Neil go cliff diving this weekend. Neil weighed in on the Tony La Russa comments. EPIC ENDING

Someone in the Pirates organization says that the team will win a World Series in the next five years. Wishful thinking? Should the Pirates pay Oneil Cruz right now? Angel Hernandez sucks. GET MONEY. THE FIVE: Can you take a moral victory from the Bucs getting walked off twice and losing late against the Rays? Najee Harris...top-5 RB? If your RB is your best player, what does it really get you? Are the basebrawls good for MLB? Are the lightning a dynasty? Did you soak in the College World Series? TWITTER POLL! Crowley is trying to court his neighbors. He's nervous. We all used to hit lightning bugs with whiffle ball bats. 

How good is Najee Harris? Is Hines Ward a HoF? Someone was mean to Crowley on Twitter. 

On the fly episode with a long time best friend and neighbor ! Avalanche won the Stanley cup .. AFC West predictions again.. Why Russ isn't the #4 QB. Jonathon Taylor or Najee Harris? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Ross Tucker says that the national narrative on Tomlin is that he's a top five coach in the NFL. He said Tomlin would have his choice of 10+ coaching jobs if he were ever fired. He has the Steelers winning 7 or 8 games this year...Ross never would have tanked. He thought the Steelers nailed this with giving Ben one more year and they still got their QB. Ross doesn't think Najee Harris is a "guy, guy." Doesn't think he's a special player, just a solid one. "He's not a guy, guy. I don't think  we will ever talk about him as one of the top-5 running backs in the NFL." Gnarles Barkley "Crazy" is the song we will play when we read Poni tweets. Again, we love him. DONNY FOOTBALL! Donny gave us a running update and he said he's getting dates!  9:48- EPIC ENDING

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV. Mike Tomlin spoke on the Pivot Podcast about how he's excited of facing the challenge of not having Ben Roethlisberger on the Pittsburgh Steelers. His reasoning is the talent around the roster will balance the team with players like Larry Ogunjobi, Myles Jack, Mitch Trubisky, James Daniels and others. But he also has made a concerted effort to make Cam Heyward teach Najee Harris the ways of Steelers leadership. Also, is Levi Wallace the Steelers' new CB? Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV covered Wallace when he was on the Buffalo Bills. Now she talks about whether Wallace can be the Steelers' top cornerback or if that job falls to Ahkello Witherspoon, Cameron Sutton, or a free agent that Omar Khan might find.

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by former NFL tight end Dorin Dickerson, also of 93.7 the Fan. The Pittsburgh Steelers made a good free agency move to add Larry Ogunjobi, but backup running back is another position they must address. Najee Harris shouldn't take as big a load of touches in 2022 as he did in 2021, and if Benny Snell isn't ready, Mike Tomlin and Omar Khan need to have options to spell their star RB. Jordan Howard, Wayne Gallman and Justin Jackson are all candidates, but who's the best option? Also, former NFL tight end Dorin Dickerson weighs in on whether Rob Gronkowski is the GOAT tight end, and how he sees the Steelers offense working in 2022. Hint: Dorin sees tight ends being a big part of the future, and explains why he thinks Pat Freiermuth will become a top 5 NFL TE before the season is over.

We start with the news of Rob Gronkowski retiring from football, whether we think he'll return, and where he sits among the all-time tight ends. Then, we show-and-tell our favorite media stories from the fantasy football offseason, including Leonard Fournette and Najee Harris showing up to camp overweight, Zach Wilson and Mac Jones kicking off best-shape-of-my-life season, and Russell Wilson's first months in Denver.

Host Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF) welcomes in Sigmund Bloom (@SigmundBloom) of Footballguys.com for a wide-ranging conversation. Sigmund talks about where he would prefer to pick in a 12-team snake draft, which guidelines he's following in this year's fantasy drafts, and whether he's still committed to an early-TE strategy. Sigmund and Pat worry about Matthew Stafford's elbow issue. A longtime Steelers fan, Sigmund paints a bleak picture of the Pittsburgh offense in 2022 and explains why he's out on Najee Harris, Diontae Johnson, and others. Sigmund and Pat discuss takeaways from the pandemic. Sigmund talks about great food, great music, seasonal hurricane threats, and other elements of life in New Orleans. Which Chiefs WR should you be targeting in drafts? Should you be targeting Courtland Sutton or Jerry Jeudy? Is a Javonte Williams breakout imminent, or will Melvin Gordon get in the way? And is there a Kenny Golladay rebound season coming? Sigmund and Pat weigh in. Sigmund offers up a long list of players he's targeting and avoiding this year.

The Steelers have the 4th most cap space in football. Why aren't they using it? Will they use it? ESPN's Brooke Pryor joined the show.

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The Pittsburgh Steelers offense was the worst performing in the first quarter unit in the NFL last year. Was offensive coordinator Matt Canada to blame for the slow starts? Does that put him on the hot seat? Or were there other reasons that give hope for the offense to turn things around? Why Mitch Trubisky and Najee Harris play a big role in fixing that. Also, did the Steelers do enough on the offensive line by signing James Daniels, Mason Cole and brining back Chukwuma Okorafor? Or should they have committed more in the NFL Draft?

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV. The Pittsburgh Steelers made sure to sign Minkah Fitzpatrick for a big payday to keep their superstar safety on the roster, making him the NFL's highest paid safety. He joins T.J. Watt as being some of the top paid players in the NFL at their positions. But with Mike Tomlin working a reboot at quarterback with Mitch Trubisky and Kenny Pickett, the Steelers need another addition somewhere on the roster with the money freed up in the salary cap after Stephon Tuitt's retirement. Whether it's defensive line, cornerback, offensive line or backup running back, it's clear a move is needed as the Steelers are trying to compete now rather than later. Also, with Fitzpatrick and Watt as the new highest paid stars, they represent the future of the Steelers' leadership after Cam Heyward. But who else on the team joins them as future leaders for the locker room? Najee Harris, Pat Freiermuth, and others fit the mold.

June 10, 2022 - Season 12, Episode 139 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the main takeaways and things we learned the last three days concerning the Pittsburgh Steelers and their mandatory minicamp.Alex and I discuss the wide receivers and cornerbacks moving around these last three days. We focus on the wide receiver depth chart and which player might have the best shot at winning a 6th and final spot if six in total are ultimately part of the Week 1 53-man roster.We discuss the Steelers quarterback pecking order coming out of mandatory minicamp. We also talk about an interesting comment made by Steelers running back Najee Harris from this past week.Alex and I go over our biggest concerns coming out of minicamp and if we think outside players not currently under contract might be in the plans moving forward into the summer.The Steelers have made a few changes and hirings when it comes to their scouting department, so Alex recaps the latest on that subject.We talk briefly about Steelers kicker Chris Boswell and him potentially getting a new contract before Week 1 of the regular season.We wrap up this Friday show by answering a few emails we received from listeners.

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers finished minicamp Thursday, and it's time to talk abut who were the top winners. Among them were Kenny Pickett, George Pickens, Mitch Trubisky, Zach Gentry and others. But where did they rank? And why did they stand out? There's a lot that was shown that suggests how Matt Canada is setting up the offense for more 12 personnel with double tight end looks. Gentry and Pat Freiermuth could make for a talented tight end duo in the NFL an dbe a perfect balance for Trubisky, Pickett and Najee Harris in the run game.

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Nick Farabaugh of SteelersNow.com and the Locked on Pitt podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers began minicamp Tuesday at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex. The team's pass catchers made big plays and stood out during two minute drills. Pat Freiermuth and George Pickens caught impressive touchdowns while Connor Heyward and Najee Harris also looked impressive. With such young players on offense, Matt Canada has some interesting options to build the Steelers' passing attack with play action, deeper passes and concepts that weren't used much around Ben Roethlisberger. But with Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph, there are more mobile quarterback options available. Also, Najee Harris spoke out for the first time in minicamp/OTAs about his weight, what he's worked on to improve, and what he's done to be a leader for the Steelers. Finally, Pat Meyer showed drills with the Steelers offensive line that suggested the offense will use more outside zone run schemes. But how can that further help the Steelers' offense?
