Could the team move on from any or all of them this offseason? Could and edge rusher like T.J. Watt, Nick Herbig, Alex Highsmith or Jack Sawyer be on the trade block?

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. The discussion began around food and what Mark would eat every day for the rest of his life. He decided on pizza, agreeing with Donny. This all stemmed from Sidney Crosby saying he would eat pasta every day. Mark talked about the debate that has been ongoing this week after Joey Porter slammed Ben Roethlisberger for being a bad teammate. Kaboom said from 2004-2010, ‘you couldn't find a bigger jerk,' but he does believe Ben changed as he matured. Mark shared a story that involved Jason Bay, who won Rookie of the Year in baseball the same year as Ben in football. Did Porter throw more shade at James Harrison than he did at Big Ben? The guys wondered if there would be retribution from Deebo or Ben back at Peezy. More w/ Mark – We are starting to see more and more mock drafts with the Steelers taking Ty Simpson. How extensive will the homework be on QBs? How much money is Mark willing to pay Malik Willis? More w/ Mark – Mark thinks there is a better chance Patrick Queen gets an extension than him getting released. Mark said everyone feels up in the air with the new coaching staff. The guys ran through some pending free agents and if Mark believes they will be back in Pittsburgh. Mark would rather bring back Asante Samuel than James Pierre. Mark expects Joey Porter Jr. to get an ‘easy' $20M/year deal. Is the football future of Broderick Jones in question? Mark laughed at the idea of Nick Herbig being traded for a backup QB. Mark questioned how enamored the Steelers are with Will Howard because he hasn't played a snap. Mark can't believe people still read books.

And which linemen from the group of Mason McCormick, Zach Frazier, Troy Fautanu, Broderick Jones and Dylan Cook will be the biggest beneficiaries of learning under a new staff? Our duo tackles those questions, then pivots to defense. How can Domata Peko help the development of names like Yahya Black, Derrick Harmon and Keeanu Benton along the defensive line? Do those players still have upside that Peko can bring out of them? And is C.J. Ah up to the task of replacing Denzel Martin and coaching the team's vaunted outside linebackers, including C and Nick Herbig? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise gives his thoughts on the attractiveness of the Steelers' coaching job following the departure of Mike Tomlin. Will owner Art Rooney II and GM Omar Khan have an easy time attracting top candidates because of the loyalty they the organization has shown to Tomlin, Bill Cowher and Chuck Noll over the years? Or will the restlessness of the fan base -- even on a successful coach like Tomlin -- dissuade some candidates from pursuing the opening? And what kind of impact will the roster have on interest levels? Do stars like T.J. Watt, Jalen Ramsey, Cam Heyward, DK Metcalf and Jaylen Warren make this team one someone can win quickly with? Or does it need more younger standouts like Joey Porter Jr., Derrick Harmon, Nick Herbig, Zach Frazier, Mason McCormick and Troy Fautanu? Paul tackles those questions and more.

Will T.J. Watt be available for coach Mike Tomlin's defense with the season on the line? Or will DC Teryl Austin need to rely on Alex Highsmith, Jack Sawyer and Nick Herbig at outside linebacker onces again?

Should his re-signing be a top offseason priority for coach Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan? And how does he rank in a loaded 2023 draft class that includes contributors like Nick Herbig, Broderick Jones, Darnell Washington and Keeanu Benton?

This is a big opportunity for Nick Herbig and possibly Jack Sawyer on Monday night. We compared it to the Tyrod Taylor situation with the Chargers back in 2020 that led to Justin Herbert getting his first start.

It sounds like Derrick Harmon will be back on Monday night. Given the defensive rushing stats, they will welcome him with open arms. The numbers make the argument that Harmon is the team's MVP. They allow roughly 100 fewer yards against the run with Harmon in the lineup. The guys talked about the draft structure that has changed since Kevin Colbert retired and why they like the working relationship between Omar Khan/Andy Weidl and Mike Tomlin throughout the process that culminates in late April.

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 analyze T.J. Watt's recent play ahead of an NFL Week 14 matchup with the AFC North rival Baltimore Ravens. Is Watt's play as bad as his critics seem to think? Or has he been better than he's given credit for with sky-high expectations? Are his most dominant days behind him? Or is he reliant on teammates including Alex Highsmith, Nick Herbig, Cam Heyward, Keeanu Benton and Derrick Harmon around him to find room to make plays? And what does the Steelers defense need from him to reach the NFL playoffs? Our duo ponders those questions plus OC Arthur Smith's tight end usage. Why has Pat Freiermuth's role been so diminished? Is Jonnu Smith getting more playing time for valid reasons? Or is he just Smith's personal favorite? Why should the pass catching pecking order be behind DK Metcalf for names like Freiermuth, Smith, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson and Darnell Washington?
