Why will all eyes be on Broderick Jones, Kaleb Johnson and Derrick Harmon? Are they prepared to live up to lofty expectations?

On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo react to the team's first training camp practice at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. They explain why it's way too soon to panic about a rough start for Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf, who connected just one time in four attempts Thursday. Why Metcalf is optimistic about the way OC Arthur Smith plans to use him. And how other pieces including linemen Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu; backs Jaylen Warren and Kaleb Johnson; tight ends Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith; and receivers Calvin Austin III and Roman Wilson still have time to come togehter. Later, the guys analyze the defense and what we can learn from where names such as Jalen Ramsey, Juan Thornhill and T.J. Watt are lining up.

Post-Gazette insiders Gerry Dulac & Ray Fittipaldo recap Day 2 of practice at Steelers training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. They explain why Aaron Rodgers is looking more comfortable after completing a beautiful pass to DK Metcalf; why we have yet to see Jonnu Smith in extended action at tight end; the stakes for Calvin Austin III and Roman Wilson as they look to fend off a possible signing at WR that could limit their playing time; and Broderick Jones' physical transformation as he moves back to LT.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the Steelers' first practice day of training camp in Latrobe. He gives thoughts on the news of the day, as new faces including Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith took to the Saint Vincent College practice field for the first time and as returning stars like T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward and Jaylen Warren look to build toward the franchise's first NFL playoff win since 2017. He also weighs in on former Steelers quarterback Justin Fields' injury scare in his first practice with the New York Jets, plus the Pirates' sweep of the Detroit Tigers at PNC Park.

Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf weren't on the same page and showed they have aways to go. Joey Porter Jr. and Kaleb Johnson might have had the two best days of anybody out there.

In this Wednesday evening show, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers reporting to Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, PA earlier in the day for the start of their 2025 training camp. We first discuss the team placing G Isaac Seumalo on the Active/NFI list at the start of training camp with a soft tissue injury. We talk about how he will miss the start of training camp and who is likely to fill in for him at left guard until he is healthy. We talk a little bit about how the Steelers are really a healthy team overall heading into training camp this year. Steelers HC Mike Tomlin talked to the media Wednesday afternoon, so we go over a few key things that he had to say at the start of camp. We focus a lot on what Tomlin had to see about the expected cornerback usage in 2025 when it comes to the top three in that position group, Joey Porter Jr., Jalen Ramsey, and Darius Slay. Steelers GM Omar Khan also had a press conference on Wednesday, so Alex and I parse the main talking points to come out of his media session. There's a lot to recap from Khan when it comes to possible additions moving forward and future contract extensions this summer. We discuss how active Khan has been this offseason with him also keeping a close eye on the 2026 NFL Draft. We go over what he had to say about the decision to trade away S Minkah Fitzpatrick a few weeks ago as well. Fresh off of signing his new contract last week, Steelers OLB T.J. Watt also had a formal press conference on Wednesday. Alex and I make sure to parse the several key things that he had to say during his media session.

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko to react to the revelation of the team's new throwback uniforms, inspired by its original look from 1933. Is it too loud like the infamous "bumblebee" uniforms of the last decade? Will we miss the block numbers from the 1970s that characterized the last few years of throwbacks? And what tweaks could they have made to the kit? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks training camp later this week at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. Why are Jack Sawyer, Kenneth Gainwell, Ben Sauls and Sebastian Castro among potential camp phenoms to watch? Will the offense led by Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf be the unif that's further along to start? Or will continuity on defense with T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward help that unit excel despite welcoming new faces including Darius Slay Jr. and Jalen Ramsey?

Can names like Zach Frazier, Mason McCormick, Joey Porter Jr. and Jaylen Warren take the next step in their careers to establish themselves among the best at their position in the NFL? Are Juan Thornhill, Kaleb Johnson, Cory Trice Jr. and Jack Sawyer dark horse candidates to make impacts? And where do receivers Calvin Austin III and Roman Wilson fit into the conversation? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the Steelers' new 4-year contract with linebacker T.J. Watt, which averages significantly less than the reported $40 million per year he was seeking. Did GM Omar Khan make a good deal, solidifying his team's future after acquisitions of big name veterans this offseason, including DK Metcalf, Aaron Rodgers, Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith? Or did he hamstring the future for a core that includes names like Derrick Harmon, Keeanu Benton, Joey Porter Jr., Zach Frazier and Broderick Jones?

How will Jaylen Warren cope with names including Kaleb Johnson, Kenneth Gainwell and Trey Sermon jockeying for carries in the backfield? Does Roman Wilson need to show he can be a contributor in the receiving corps next to DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III? And are Cordarrelle Patterson and Connor Heyward fighting for their jobs? On defense, Is Beanie Bishop in trouble following the move for Jalen Ramsey? Have DeMarvin Leal and Isaiahh Loudermilk run out of time to prove they deserve rotational spots on the defensive line?

In this Monday episode, Alex Kozora is back after a long weekend off and we get right to discussing the latest concerning Pittsburgh Steelers OLB T.J. Watt and his ongoing contract situation.

San Francisco 49ers WR Jauan Jennings is back in the news on Monday morning as he reportedly wants a new contract or to be traded. We look at if Jennings could potentially land with the Steelers via a trade and what kind of new contract he's likely looking for this summer. As a Monday morning, most of the NFL's 2025 second round selections remain unsigned. We discuss why that's the case this year and who is most likely to blame for that. We discuss the Steelers not having to worry about that problem this year and we look back at the contract that C Zach Frazier signed last year as a second round selection. On the heels of Ross McCorkle doing a 2025 passing and receiving stats exercise during the Friday show, Alex and I go over the changes he submitted over the weekend. Alex and I discuss a few loose stat projections that he has right now for the Steelers tight ends, QB Aaron Rodgers, and WR DK Metcalf as well.

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko to discuss what's at stake for the team's rookies during training camp, which begins next week at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. What does first-round NFL draft pick Derrick Harmon need to do to solidify his status as a presumed defensive line starter next to Cam Heyward and Keeanu Benton? How much of him will we see in the preseason? And does he have a chance to fly under the radar a bit with big-name veterans including Aaron Rodgers, Jalen Ramsey, Jonnu Smith and DK Metcalf joining the team as well? Can Kaleb Johnson seize starter duties at running back? Or are committee duties with Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell the best he can hope for?

On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter welcomes podcaster Dave Dameshek to get his assessment of the team ahead of training camp next month at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. They begin by pondering which young players could be x-factors in 2025, with a specific focus on the 2023 NFL draft class that included Joey Porter Jr., Broderick Jones, Nick Herbig, Keeanu Benton and Cory Trice Jr. Will those guys be the difference makers if coach Mike Tomlin and Co. are going to have a good season? Or, if they struggle, could they drag the whole team down regardless of what new faces like Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf and others bring to the table? Later, the guys look to Steelers history for lessons in leadership that could help the current squad. And Dave plays a game of "What If?" Imagining what might have happened had Ben Roethlisberger retired after his 2019 arm injury, and whether names like Jordan Love, Justin Herbert or Jalen Hurts could be the team's franchise quarterback right now.
