What's next for the quarterback position in Kade Bell's offense after Eli Holstein was benched in the fourth quarter?

Where do the Panthers stand injury-wise? And what does this loss in their ACC opener mean for them going forward? Our duo answers those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Seahawks did a good job taking DK Metcalf out of the game yesterday. Mullsy does not think that Mike Tomlin will win another playoff game with the Steelers. The Steelers gave up a touchdown run on 3rd and goal from the 19 yesterday. Poni thinks that Walker wasn't even touched on this play. Callers talk about the game.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to sort through the controversy surrounding the future of the Backyard Brawl rivalry between Pitt and West Virginia. Who shares more blame for the future for the series going on hiatus? Pat Narduzzi, Allen Greene and the Panthers? Or Rich Rodriguez, Wren Baker and the Mountaineers? Would both teams benefit from some non-conference scheduling flexibility? Or should this game be played every year? And how should College Football Playoff resume conversations influence the conversation? Our duo tackles those questions and more before the teams square off Saturday. How much pressure will Narduzzi be under if Pitt loses the game as a 7.5-point favorite? How encouraged should fans be by a possible 3-0 start for the Panthers? And who will prove to be the hero for Pitt on Saturday? Eli Holstein? Braylan Lovelace? Desmond Reid? Or someone else?

Pat Narduzzi hit on a lot of topics at his weekly press conference on Monday. Today, we're looking at five things he said that stood out, from the rivalry with West Virginia to the offensive line, the cornerbacks and more - all on the Tuesday edition of the Morning Pitt.

Andy Gresh joins to discuss what the Steelers are getting in Jabrill Peppers, if he was surprised he was let go in New England, his story about Pat Narduzzi, how many Big Macs he ate in one sitting.

Mike Tomlin talked today. He's not worried about Broderick Jones. Mullsy isn't feeling very optimistic after Sunday. He got beat every way imaginable. These struggles are even more concerning because Rodgers looked very good. A caller is very concerned about Jones. It's Dick Lebeau's birthday! Poni thinks the chat with our guest from PFF might get contentious. Is Broderick Jones already a bust? Why didn't the Steelers give him more help on Sunday? We shift to a conversation about sumo wrestling. A caller somewhat defends Jones, citing that he's engaged. Payton Wilson had a rough game on Sunday, Mike Tomlin isn't a ball treatment specialist. Aaron Rodgers received a horrid PFF grade. PFF grader John Kosko joins to explain himself. He references a dropped interception by the Jets and the myriad of screen passes. Bryce Young was ranked ahead based on the grades. They did not credit him with any "big time throws". Could Tyreek Hill be a real option for the Steelers? Is he washed after a rough 2024? He might have more legal trouble on the horizon. Is he worth it? Would KC be the best fit for him anyway? Our PFF guest thanked us for having him already. Poni runs down the BFF QB rankings. Dolphins reporter Armando Salguero joins to discuss the Tyreek Hill rumors and the financial implications. He points out several potential issues with Hill. Could the Dolphins trade him if they lose this weekend? Who is on the Mt Rushmore for Westmoreland County athletes? Jabrill Peppers signed with the Steelers today. He can still play and he's dynamite against the run. A frank discussion about Abraham Lincoln. Andy Gresh joins to discuss what the Steelers are getting in Jabrill Peppers, if he was surprised he was let go in New England, his story about Pat Narduzzi, how many Big Macs he ate in one sitting. Donny Debrief with Sean - looking at the PFF team from Week 1, there's no Steelers but a ton of Jets. Tomlin Takes: We hear various comments he made from today's press conference.

Post-Gazette insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable analyze the state of play with Pitt football as the Backyard Brawl rivalry game vs. the West Virginia Mountaineers looms this weekend. Are the QB Eli Holstein, OC Kade Bell and the Panthers meeting the grade offensively? Particularly in the running game with Desmond Reid? How did depth DBs Shawn Lee and Shadarian Harrison look in extended run against Central Michigan? And what does it mean for coach Pat Narduzzi's squad that WVU star Jaheim White is dealing with an injury following his team's loss to the Ohio Bobcats over the weekend? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to react to Pitt football's season-opening beating of Duquesne and look ahead to a Week 2 matchup with Central Michigan.

Should coach Pat Narduzzi and OC Kade Bell be concerned about the lack of rushing production beyond Desmond Reid? What does Duquesne receiver Joey Isabella's big day mean for the Pitt secondary? And why was Blue Hicks among the standouts at receiver for Jason? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

What stood out in Pat Narduzzi's weekly press conference on Monday? From blocking for the run game to injuries, we're breaking down five of the most notable things Narduzzi said on today's Morning Pitt.

Post-Gazette Pitt Panthers insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable react to coach Par Narduzzi's injury updates on key offensive and defensive line players ahead of the football team's matchup with Central Michigan this weekend. Could right tackle Ryan Baer return quickly after missing the latte portions of the win against Duquesne with what Narduzzi described as a "stinger"? How confident should fans feel about backups at offensive line positions? And why was there a lot to like about the defensive line depth? With names like Joey Zelinsky and Zach Crothers performing in the absence of Jaeden Moore? Our duo tackles those questions, then reacts to major non-conference wins for the ACC over the weekend. Is the conference proving itself after Florida State upset Alabama and Miami triumphed over Notre Dame?

Jack starts with the Six Pack: -Miami seems like the team to beat in the ACC. -LaNorris Sellers and Garrett Nussmeier are on Jack's Steelers QB wishlist. -Kalen DeBoer is not the guy for Alabama. -Bill Belichick makes his UNC coaching debut and Jack is not ready for it. -Isiah Kiner-Falefa returns to the Toronto Blue Jays after being waived by the Buccos a few days ago. -NFL season starts Thursday! -Jack has a plea for Pat Narduzzi... Pitt beat Duquesne 61-9, BUT something Jack didn't like from that game was Desmond Reid returning punts. Yes, he scored a PRTD in the game, but Jack says Reid is too impactful to be their punt returner. Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith was also returning punts too, apparently. -BREAKING: Jaylen Warren is signing a two-year extension with the Steelers. Jack reacts.

What can we learn about Pat Narduzzi's team after a blowout win over an inferior opponent? Is Eli Holstein back to his best after starting last season hot and petering off at the end because of injuries? Is Desmond Reid already staking his claim to another All-American season? Will the special teams give the Panthers a boost this season after Reid's punt return TD and Kenny Johnson's long kick return? And what can the defense led by Kyle Louis take from this contest into games against more challenging opponents in the ACC? Our duo answers those questions and more.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to give season predictions for the Pitt Panthers football team at the start of the 2025 season. How cool is it to see coach Pat Narduzzi's team facing crosstown rival Duquesne in the season opener? Is Eli Holstein capable of a season like Kenny Pickett had in 2021 en route to an ACC conference championship? Is Desmond Reid's health the most important factor for OC Kade Bell's offense? And is Pitt a top three or four team if it can follow through on linebacker Kyle Louis' vision of finishing games? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: Starkey's mailbag. Could Kenny Pickett ever come back? Who will finish 1-2-3 in the AFC North? The PM guys made a joke about Joe's 60th birthday and him also thinking the Pirates are close, but Greg didn't acknowledge it! Jeff helps us preview the Pitt season. Head coach Pat Narduzzi wants someone to bring him ribs after the Duquesne game. Penn State still has an Ohio State problem and James Franklin is 1-10 against Ohio State.

Hour 2 with Jason Mackey: Ray Fittipaldo thinks the Steelers would be ok in the short term with Yahya Black in the short term. Black has the potential to be a solid player. Calvin Austin hasn't practiced or done much in the last three weeks. Pat Narduzzi said the maturity level is different for this team and the players.
