The Steelers have been picked to win the AFC North by Rob Gronkowski. Do they have a chance to pull that off? Chris quickly said no and sees the Steelers as a 10-win team, at most. Poni doesn't think the gap is all that wide, but said the Bengals are a real wild card. Donny thinks the Ravens will win 14+ games and just too good for the Steelers to keep up with.

The guys don't think the Ben Roethlisberger excuse should still be used by pundits around the league. Chris thinks it's a tired argument from Greenberg and others on the subject. Poni isn't convinced Rodgers is better than what Russell Wilson gave them at QB last season. Are there some sneaky challenging games on the Steelers schedule?

Once Pomp brought up Rib Fest, the guys asked about Edmund Nelson, but Pomp promised that the infamous graphic from a Steelers preseason game. Pomp broke down the Steelers schedule and gave his prediction on the season. Would the Steelers run it back with Aaron Rodgers if he and the team have success in 2025? Pitt's over/under is 6.5 wins in 2025 and Pomp said he would take the over. Bob also likes the over for Penn State, which is sitting at 10.5 this season. Pomp gave Keegan Bradley his flowers for not picking himself for the Ryder Cup team. The guys asked Pomp what games we would get besides the Steelers-Jets matchup on our TVs in Week 1. Donny Football Debrief – We know the TOP college football game of the weekend, but what are some other great ones?
Adam Crowley had a birdie tell him that the Steelers checked in on Jakobi Meyers. Should Steelers fans get their hopes up in finally getting a wide receiver two? Aaron Rodgers talked about his targets for this season. Apparently the Steelers want the Raiders to take on some of Meyers' deal for a potential trade. But why? Do they want to use other money for Cam Heyward or other targets? Adding Meyers makes the two tight ends the Steelers have a cherry on top of two solid wide outs. Poni says that if the Steelers want to be taken seriously in the AFC, they need to make the Raiders an offer they can't refuse.
A classic QB debate to start the show. Should the Steelers use a short-term IR spot on Will Howard?

Dan said there is a lot to be excited about when it comes to Pirates pitching in 2026. Will we see Chandler in the bulk relief role for the remainder of the season? Dan thinks Konnor Griffin has an outside chance to break spring training with the club going into 2026, the way Jared Jones did last year. Griffin has good early returns in Altoona and Dan wants to see the bump up to AAA before the season is over.

Poni says that he's heard people express concern over Jonnu Smith's health and potential availability. Mullsy thinks the Steelers only need one featured wide receiver.

Yahya Black had a two sack game last night. Poni immediately has a Poni take as he thinks Black is the next Vita Vea. Vea apparently approached Poni after the Bucs-Steelers preseason game last week and was, for a lack of a better word, motivated by what Poni may or may not have said.
Skylar Thompson balled out in the Steelers final preseason game. Many people believe that Rudolph vs. Thompson should be a real battle. 60% of Twitter voters believe Thompson is better than Rudolph.

Poni thinks it's the best defense in the AFC. How did we rank the Steelers defensive starters? Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray is curious how much we will see of the starting defense tonight. Ray said the only way DeMarvin Leal is kept is if the Steelers roll with 5 edge rushers, which they haven't done in recent memory. Is there any reason to be concerned with Jack Sawyer so far? Ray said the Steelers will have an interesting decision to make with Nick Herbig after this season. Ray indicated that Skylar Thompson could find himself a roster spot because Will Howard did not play at all in the preseason. How is Ray feeling about the run game to this point in the preseason? Ray doesn't expect Calvin Austin to play tonight and he projected the receiver room for the initial 53-man roster. Mega Matchups.
Cam Heyward practiced yesterday, but did it mean anything? Was it a sign to the team that he is back? Is it winning him back any fans?

We looked at a list of other notable DTs and how well they were playing, if at all, at Cam's age. 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show.

Did the starting unit show enough in training camp to make you feel good about Rodgers not playing at all in the preseason? Poni had Jeff react to the report that Dalton Risner was scheduled to visit the Steelers. Jeff talked about the leadership of Rodgers and the differences he has noticed between him and other Steelers QBs since Ben Roethlisberger. Will the middle of the field be used?

Ben Roethlisberger thinks that Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf could potentially be special. Poni points out that Ben wanted Mitch Trubisky to be the guy over both Rudolph and Pickett. Ben also said afterwards that Pickett could be great. Poni says that 1100 yards and 8 touchdowns for DK Metcalf would not be a special season. Former MLB pitcher Matt Clement joined the show. Matt says that his call-up was similar to that of Bubba Chandler today, however that Padres team that called him up was a World Series team, and not a last place team. Clement says that he struggled his last few months in Triple A, just like Chandler did. He also says that moving from a starter to a bullpen arm is a big adjustment. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike says that he thinks Rodgers should be playing in the preseason due to the hostile environment week 1 at his former home. He also says that this is just part of the Aaron Rodgers experience. Mike says it was smart for Heyward to start practicing so that he can avoid injury in the regular season.
Aaron Rodgers won't play in the preseason. This is the first example of Rodgers taking advantage of Mike Tomlin. Even late in his career, Ben Roethlisberger played in preseason games. Is it a mistake for the Steelers to not have Rodgers at least get his feet wet? The injury concern is there, sure, but there is a real chance the offense comes out flat in Week 1. Our voiceover guy with another banger. The Steelers brought in Dalton Risner for a visit – a guard that played good football for a 14-win Vikings team last season.

Aditi thinks Pickett had a good chance to be the Browns starter if he did not get hurt early in training camp. Poni told Aditi he was upset by the praise for Shedeur Sanders after the first preseason game. Are the Steelers making a mistake by not playing Aaron Rodgers in the preseason? Aditi definitively said Rodgers will get more leeway from Mike Tomlin to do things no other QB has been able to do since Ben Roethlisberger retired. With Cam Heyward practicing yesterday, Aditi said it's a sign of good faith by the player that their demands will be met – but you can't guarantee that's the case.

Jim Nantz thinks that the Aaron Rodgers experiment will work for the Steelers. Gabe Davis left the Steelers facility without a contract again, as confirmed by Josh Allen. Mullsy says that it is a no-brainer for Davis, and that he should sign with Buffalo. Terry Mclaurin was absent from the Commanders preseason game last night. Should the Steelers try to acquire Terry? Aaron Rodgers talked to the media today, and raved about Roman Wilson once again. Rodgers also said that he has a built-in laugh track because he's the old guy.

The Steelers will play their only home preseason game tomorrow night and Poni is wondering how fans will treat Cam Heyward once he runs out of the tunnel. Would it be outlandish for people to boo?

ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi is surprised the Cam Heyward and Chris Boswell stories popped up so late into the offseason.

Aditi has Eagles-Browns this weekend, so she talked about the injury to Shedeur Sanders after a terrific preseason debut. Where will Kenny Pickett be on the Browns depth chart when the season starts?
Mike Tomlin said that this defense can do historic things. The joint practice against the Bucs went so badly that Todd Bowles decided to rest his starters on offense tomorrow.

Poni says that Chris Boswell and Cam Heyward are both the best of the best at their position. Mullsy thinks that Chris Boswell is more likely to continue his elite performance than Cam Heyward is.

Mike says that Heyward shouldn't have signed the contract last year if he wanted to renegotiate his deal after a good season.

If Heyward were to retire, the Steelers would be able to get the roster bonus back from him. Mike also says that he has never seen a kicker hold out. Florio says that the Steelers made up rules on contracts are dumb.

Poni doesn't think anything is solved soon and thinks the crowd reaction on Saturday night will be interesting. We also had a gripe with the Steelers countdown, sighting Artie Burns as a ‘fan favorite.' Is Kraig at fault? Former MLB pitcher Matt Clement joined the show.

A new wrinkle to the ongoing Cam Heyward contract saga involves the possibility of him missing regular season games.

The comments made by Cam Heyward didn't help matters yesterday. The waters are getting murky with the whole situation and the legacy of Heyward seems to be taking shots left and right.
