Podcast appearances and mentions of patrick queen

The Steelers have signed Jaquan Brisker, which had Poni in a fun move. He likes the move for the Steelers defense, even though it's a little bit more money to that side of the football. 2 of the questions Poni wanted to ask to start the show – is Brisker one of the 10 best Pittsburgh natives to play for his hometown team? And is he a Top 5 Penn State football player to play for the Steelers? BREAKING: Jeff Capel will return as Pitt head coach next season. Steelers reporter Nick Farabaugh from Penn Live dot com joined the show. Nick, a Pitt grad, said he is ‘beat down' by the news of Jeff Capel coming back to the basketball program next season. Nick doesn't think another ‘big' free agent will be signed by the Steelers after the Jaquan Brisker acquisition, but some smaller moves will be made. Nick said the expectation is for Aaron Rodgers to come back, but you just never know. Nick pointed out that Patrick Queen got paid by the Steelers today, the third day of the league year, so a trade for him is very unlikely.

March 12 – Ep. 93: For today's episode, Joe Clark and Ross McCorkle discuss the first week of free agency and the Steelers' various additions, losses, and retained players.

Finally we discuss the latest Will Howard hype in Pittsburgh and debate whether it's real or not. To end the show, we answer a listener question about how free agency shifted draft needs.

What has happened in the last hour as the new league year is here in the NFL? The Bills got Bradley Chubb, the consolation prize for them losing out on Trey Hendrickson. The Ravens front office will speak in moments about their interesting start to the offseason. Javon Hargrave isn't coming back to Pittsburgh – he's headed to Green Bay. The Steelers made a few moves official, including the Cam Heyward extension and re-signing of Cole Holcomb. Are the Patrick Queen trade rumors slowing down? ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi believes the words of Eric DeCosta that the Ravens were fully preparing to have both Maxx Crosby and Trey Hendrickson as their edge rushers next season. Aditi dove into some of the medical concerns that allowed the Ravens to back out of the deal with the Raiders. She said it was always going to be contingent on what the Ravens' doctors took away from the physical on Crosby. Aditi has it on good authority that the Ravens were ‘excited' as of yesterday to bring Crosby in. Aditi told the guys the Ravens didn't do anything fishy here and DeCosta would never be one to go the shady route. Aditi doesn't think any team will be afraid to do a deal with the Ravens because of this. Aditi disagrees that the Ravens are ‘better off' with how this worked out, even after keeping the pair of 1st round picks. Aditi said Hendrickson is not a game-wrecker the way Crosby is.

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to analyze the team's move on Day 1 of the "legal tampering" period ahead of NFL free agency. What kind of replacement will Rico Dowdle be for Kenneth Gainwell within coach Mike McCarthy's offense? Will he be the No. 1 running back over Jaylen Warren? Or will they split carries? What does the signing mean for Kaleb Johnson following a disappointing rookie years? What will Michael Pittman Jr. add to the receiver group across from DK Metcalf? And how does Jamel Dean bolster the secondary next to Joey Porter Jr., Asante Samuel Jr. and Jalen Ramsey? Our duo tackles those question, then ponders widespread trade rumors involving Patrick Queen. Could GM Omar Khan really be looking to move on from him after he showed improvement in 2025? What could the Steelers reasonably use Queen's cap space on if they moved on from him at this stage? And where would Queen's potential departure leave the middle linebacker group that includes names like Cole Holcomb, Payton Wilson and Malik Harrison? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Live around 5 p.m., Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to a quiet Day 2 of the "legal tampering" period before NFL free agency begins Wednesday. Has Steelers GM Omar Khan done enough to make his roster better with the additions of Michael Pittman Jr., Rico Dowdle and Jamel Dean? Or are clearer answers at the quarterback and guard positions still needed? Is Kirk Cousins a reasonable solution at QB if Aaron Rodgers decides to retire? Or should new coach Mike McCarthy focus on developing backup Will Howard? And what should we make of trade rumors swirling around linebacker Patrick Queen? Paul tackles those question, plus all the the action around the AFC North. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss if Patrick Queen could be on his way out of Pittsburgh, following a bunch of trade speculation. Where would the team pivot? What's the most sensible resolution? We then discuss the team signing RB Rico Dowdle and how he fits into what they want to do. Cameron Johnson was brought back to at least compete for the punting job. What could a Chris Boswell contract extension look like? Should Nate Hobbs be on the team's radar?

The Steelers are reportedly shopping for a mid-round pick for Patrick Queen. Queen was just an ok signing, but it was fun to watch him troll Baltimore. Would you disagree with trading Patrick Queen?

Following a riveting Pitt basketball win, Poni started by praising Mullsy for his Patrick Queen scoop yesterday. Now we are hearing more and more scuttlebutt about the Steelers trying to trade their big-money inside linebacker. BREAKING: The Steelers have signed Cameron Johnston, the punter that signed with the team a few years ago and got cut going into last season. Back to Queen – was he a Mike Tomlin guy? Mike McCarthy isn't under the pressure to keep Queen around and the Steelers could free up some cap space to be used elsewhere. Has Queen ever been a good player without a player like Roquan Smith next to him? The guys want the potential draft compensation to be in 2027 and not 2026.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss the first day of NFL free agency (contact period). The Steelers and Colts struck a deal sending WR Michael Pittman Jr. to the Steelers for a late-round pick swap. They also signed Jamel Dean to a three-year deal and brought back Asante Samuel Jr. and Cole Holcomb. Does the Holcomb deal tell us anything about Patrick Queen's future? The team also lost Kenny Gainwell to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. What do we make of all these moves and what do we believe is next? Let's go for another Steelers Afternoon Drive and discuss all this!

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the first day of prospect interviews at the 2026 NFL Combine, which began on Wednesday morning with linebackers.

Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Noah Hiles welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko to react to GM Omar Khan's comments at the NFL combine. What should we make of Khan saying he has "no deadline" for QB Aaron Rodgers to return? How important is it for the team to get him signed quickly after Khan indicated he expects a decision from Rodgers sooner than it came in 2025? What are the implications of Rodgers' potential return to a QB room that also includes Mason Rudolph and Will Howard at present? And what impact will Rodgers have on other offseason decisions? Our duo tackles those questions, then weighs potential trade options. Will Khan look to repeat his 2025 blockbuster moves for DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith? Or will this be a quieter spring? Would the Eagles' A.J. Brown be a good fit as a player known to be in the mix to move? Or would the Steelers be better off investing in a younger player in the NFL draft like Jordyn Tyson, Denzel Boston, Makai Lemon or Carnell Tate? And which players will other teams be asking Khan about? Does T.J. Watt top the list? And could others including Ramsey and Patrick Queen merit consideration as well? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

What are the biggest questions facing GM Omar Khan amid the coaching staff transition from Mike Tomlin to Mike McCarthy? How does the new staff -- which includes OC Brian Angelichio and DC Patrick Graham -- feel about expensive veterans on the roster including Jalen Ramsey, Jonnu Smith and Patrick Queen? 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? And how are things progressing on the QB front, where Aaron Rodgers' future is uncertain and the free agent and trade candidates are lacking beyond names like Malik Willis?

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.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss how Mike McCarthy's staff stacks up to Mike Tomlin's in terms of quality and quantity. Will there be a noticeable difference in that regard? We also discuss if the team will go big for a WR in free agency, what to make of all the smoke surrounding Patrick Queen and how Mike Tomlin's role on the competition committee goes away with him no longer being a head coach. Let's go for another Steelers Afternoon Drive and discuss all this! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mark Kaboly thinks there's a better chance that Patrick Queen is extended than cut. It's hard to tell who will be back for the Steelers with Mike McCarthy taking over. Mark would be a little bit surprised if Calvin Austin is back because he's going to hit free agency.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Mark and Joe share their Myron Cope stories. Should the Steelers take Ty Simpson in the first round? If you pick Ty Simpson, you are admitting you aren't confident in Will Howard. Mark Kaboly thinks there's a better chance that Patrick Queen is extended than cut. It's hard to tell who will be back for the Steelers with Mike McCarthy taking over.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss how players would have to adapt to new philosophies, approach, schematics, personality, etc...with a new head coach and staff coming in. Could this also impact their draw to outside free agents? Anthony Weaver had his in-person interview with the team on Friday, how legitimate is his candidacy? We also discuss if Patrick Queen could be on his way out, how scouts operate this time of year without the coaching staff in place and much more.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey and Donny Football: Ray Fittipaldo would trade Jalen Ramsey and cut Patrick Queen. Ray doesn't think the Steelers can pay Ramsey $17 million to be a safety. Ray hasn't heard anything about Mario Cristobal and has been quiet. Ray thinks that Anthony Weaver is "a serious candidate" for the Steelers head coaching job. The most important numbers to look back on during the 2025 season.

Ray would trade Jalen Ramsey and cut Patrick Queen. Ray doesn't think the Steelers can pay Ramsey $17 million to be a safety. The money they save on Mike Tomlin's big salary could go be spent to hire additional coaches. Ray hasn't heard anything about Mario Cristobal and has been quiet. Anthony Weaver is "a serious candidate" for the Steelers.

The new music beds are making their presence known. Chris asks if they're AI. I don't believe they are. How should the Steelers change their defense? Should they bring back a majority of their defensive players or completely overhaul the unit?

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss all signs pointing to the Ravens being set to hire Jesse Minter as their next head coach. The Steelers showed early interest but for one reason or another, an in-person interview never materialized. Is Chris Shula still the leader in the clubhouse for the job, despite the recent smoke surrounding Mike McCarthy being the favorite? What do we make of James Harrison saying Patrick Queen has already been cut? What about Najee Harris saying Mike Tomlin told him to not return to the team?

We also discuss Patrick Queen winning the team's "Chief" award and Derrick Harmon winning the team's "Joe Greene" award.

Joe does not look into the transfer portal as much as he used to. Mark Kaboly joins the show from the awards ceremony from the Steelers facility. Patrick Queen gets the award for being the most cooperative to the media. Derrick Harmon won the rookie of the year award. Are the Steelers better off facing Lamar Jackson than Snoop Huntley?

Mark makes his prediction for Steelers-Ravens to decide the AFC North.

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo react to the NFL Week 17 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Was QB Aaron Rodgers locked in on the wrong receivers with DK Metcalf out amid his suspension? Should names like Scotty Miller, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Adam Thielen be getting the ball as much as they did? Why wasn't Pat Freiermuth in the game more despite proving he's one of the team's better playmakers? Where were RBs Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell? And can OC Arthur Smith turn the passing game struggles around in time for Week 18, when the Steelers will face the Ravens in a winner-take-all game for the AFC North title? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders the team's run defense. Was yet another solid outing from the guys up front proof that this unit is ready to face Derrick Henry with the season on the line? To what extent can key players like Cam Heyward, Derrick Harmon, Jack Sawyer, Payton Wilson, Patrick Queen and others slow him down? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Patrick Queen is impressing Joe. Chris Hoke thinks that Queen plays better when the defensive line is keeping him clean and Queen can fly to the football. The Steelers will see the Chargers, Bills, Texans, or Jaguars, more than likely, in the first round if they make the playoffs. Hokie would rather play the Chargers and does NOT want to play Buffalo.

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Noah Hiles welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to react to the NFL Week 15 Monday Night Football victory against the Miami Dolphins. How much credit do coach Mike Tomlin and OC Arthur Smith deserve for this team's most complete victory of the season? What adjustments did Smith make to get Aaron Rodgers, Kenneth Gainwell, DK Metcalf, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and the offense on track after a shaky first 25 minutes? Why was Tomlin more aggressive in going for fourth downs with the Connor Heyward tush pus? Is Gainwell becoming the offense's most dangerous weapon? And how did Cam Heyward, Alex Highsmith, Patrick Queen, Jalen Ramsey and the defense clamp down on De'Von Achane and the Dolphins running game after struggles the past two weeks against James Cook and the Bills and Derrick Henry and the Ravens? Especially without T.J. Watt? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Then later, the guys ponder this team's NFL playoffs chances and the ability of "castoffs" including Valdes-Scantling, Asante Samuel Jr. and Kyle Dugger to give it the boost that it needs come January.

On the Wednesday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter to sort through the team's issues with run defense. Who are the proverbial squeaky wheels up front right now? Can Patrick Queen do a better job of finishing plays? Is Keeanu Benton showing enough positive signs in his third season? Or is consistency an issue for him right now? How is fifth-round NFL draft pick Yahya Black performing, relative to expectations and amid numerous injuries up front to names like Derrick Harmon? And what tweaks can coach Mike Tomlin and DC Teryl Austin make schematically to set Cam Heyward, T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith and Co, up for more success? Our duo tackles those questions and more, then analyzes the deep passing success vs. Baltimore. Was OC Arthur Smith most responsible for calling a better game? Or was the execution simply better from QB Aaron Rodgers and top receiver DK Metcalf? Where do Adam Thielen and Marquez Valdes-Scantling fit into this passing game when it's clicking moving forward? Will they see heavy targets or remain in the background? What does the future hold for Roman Wilson after is benching? And what role should RBs Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell have in the passing game down the stretch after major contributions against the Ravens? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo react to an important NFL Week 14 victory against the Baltimore Ravens. Specifically, they ponder the success of the deep passing game. How did QB Aaron Rodgers get it back on track with the help of pass catchers including DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin III, Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell? How sustainable is this success the rest of the way as coach Mike Tomlin's team and OC Arthur Smith's unit looks to clinch the AFC North? How much improvement can the offense still make? And what impact will injuries to tackles Broderick Jones and Andrus Peat make? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks defense. How did coach Mike Tomlin's defense contain Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry in the running game compared to the games in Baltimore last season? Why do Alex Highsmith and T.J. Watt deserve a lot of credit for stepping up amid injuries to Malik Harrison and Derrick Harmon? What role did cornerbacks Joey Porter Jr., James Pierre and Brandin Echols play? And why was Patrick Queen quietly one of the unit's more effective players? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise react LIVE to the Steelers' NFL Week 14 with the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. This show is presented by FanDuel. Can Aaron Rodgers bounce back from three injury-riddled weeks and make magic on offense aside names like DK Metcalf, Jaylen Warren, Kenneth Gainwell and Calvin Austin III? What difference will newly activated receivers Adam Thielen and Marquez Valdes-Scantling make for OC Arthur Smith's unit? And will tight ends Darnell Washington, Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith be more involved? Our duo tackles those questions and ponders the defense as well. Can T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Nick Herbig, Keeanu Benton, Payton Wilson and Patrick Queen do a better job of containing the run? Or will Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry run wild like James Cook of the Bills did last week? And how will Jalen Ramsey and coach Mike Tomlin's secondary perform? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

The Steelers defense gave up 249 yards rushing to the Bills, the most by an opponent in Acrisure Stadium history. The defensive line and linebackers are not staying in their gaps. Hokie doesn't think Patrick Queen is good at getting off blocks.

The Ravens are not getting Derrick Henry the ball enough. Rob thinks we're looking at two great coaches that maybe have to move on. Rob thinks talent is the only reason why the Ravens will probably win the division. Rob was right, Patrick Queen doesn't have the tenacity to be a great linebacker.

Live around 5 p.m., Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise weighs in on the Steelers' losing skid of five losses in their last seven games. This show is presented by FanDuel. Specifically, he gives his thoughts on whether the preseason concerns about old age are proving valid. Do guys like Aaron Rodgers, Jalen Ramsey, Cam Heyward and T.J. Watt still have the ability to life this roster to an AFC North title and NFL playoffs appearance? Or have their abilities to transcend losing streaks diminished. And is it reasonable to expect younger players including Joey Porter Jr., Patrick Queen, Jaylen Warren, Darnell Washington and others to step up in the closing weeks of the season? Paul tackles those questions, plus the highlights from coach Mike Tomlin's weekly news conference Tuesday. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise react LIVE to the Steelers' NFL Week 13 with the Buffalo Bills at Acrisure Stadium. This show is presented by FanDuel. How did QB Aaron Rodgers look in his return from injury? Did he look like he could have played last week instead of backup Mason Rudolph? Were pass catchers including DK Metcalf, Darnell Washington, Roman Wilson, Jonnu Smith, Pat Freiermuth and Calvin Austin III able to find more space than they have in the last several weeks? Were Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell able to continue their momentum in the backfield? How much pressure were T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Nick Herbig, Patrick Queen and others able to get on star Bills QB Josh Allen? And did Mike Tomlin make enough adjustments with Jalen Ramsey, Kyle Dugger, Joey Porter Jr. and others in the secondary to to avoid domination? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo sort through the NFL Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. Why did coach Mike Tomlin seemingly abandon the two-high safety looks that had worked for his defense in recent weeks? What were the "schematic issues" that linebacker Patrick Queen blamed the loss on after the game? And how can Tomlin and DC Teryl Austin get this expensive unit led by T.J.
