Was coach Mike Tomlin's team able to come through and win the AFC North to earn a spot in the NFL playoffs? Was QB Aaron Rodgers able to overcome the absence of receiver DK Metcalf and tight end Darnell Washington and put up points alongside names like Jaylen Warren, Kenneth Gainwell, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Calvin Austin III, Adam Thielen, Scotty Miller, Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith? How well were Cam Heyward, Derrick Harmon, Joey Porter Jr, Jalen Ramsey and the defense able to contain Derrick Henry and the Ravens offense? And how did T.J. Watt look in his return from his collapsed lung? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

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 assess Aaron Rodgers' play at QB this year. Does he deserve the "inconsistent" label after his latest performance against the Browns? Can his personnel plausibly be blamed with DK Metcalf absent? Or did should Rodgers still have been expected to do more with Kenneth Gainwell, Jaylen Warren, Adam Thielen, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Pat Friermuth, Scotty Miller and others available as options? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks defense. How close is the unit to living up to Mike Tomlin's preseason expectations that it be "historic." What's the biggest factor in the turnaround over the past month? Is Derrick Harmon the simple answer? Or is it more complicated than that. How much credit do Tomlin and DC Teryl Austin deserve for the secondary, which has shined with an ensemble cast that includes Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr., James Pierre, Brandin Echols, Asante Samuel Jr. and Kyle Dugger? And how many offenses remain in the AFC playoff picture that could pose problems for this group? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Noah Hiles welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to look ahead to the team's NFL Week 18 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens that will determine the AFC North race. 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? And if so, are those guys ready for the challenge of slowing elite Ravens running back Derrick Henry? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks offense. How can OC Arthur Smith and QB Aaron Rodgers get more out of the unit than we saw last week against the Browns? Especially with DK Metcalf and possibly Darnell Washington out of action? Can they compensate with personnel like Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Adam Thielen, Scotty Miller, Pat Freiermuth and others? And get RBs Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell more involved?

Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldo react to the NFL Week 17 loss to the Cleveland Browns at Huntington Back Field. What went wrong for coach Mike Tomlin in his latest loss to a team with a bad record? Why was OC Arthur Smith's unit unable to overcome the absence of receiver DK Metcalf? What does it mean for the AFC North winner-take-all game against the Ravens next week that Aaron Rodgers struggled so much in the passing game alongside pass catches including Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Scotty Miller, Adam Thielen, Jaylen Warren, Kenneth Gainwell and Pat Freiermuth? What the latest on TE Darnell Washington's injury? And how much credit do Cam Heyward, Jack Sawyer, Kyle Dugger, Jalen Ramsey and the defense deserve for keeping the team in the game despite the absence of T.J. Watt?

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.

Mike Tomlin had no problem with the Steelers targeting MVS three times. Aaron Rodgers made the wrong decision going at MVS compared to Kenneth Gainwell and Pat Freiermuth. Decisions, Decisions in the Steelers loss to Cleveland. Aaron Rodgers going to MVS that many times on the final drive was a very poor decision. Why did the Steelers throw a go ball to Scotty Miller on 4th and 1 instead of run the spartan play?

Hour 3 with Bob Pompeani: Joe Starkey calls the show and takes back his Super Bowl pick for the Steelers. Joe thinks the Steelers thought too much about Garrett. Aaron Rodgers going to MVS that many times on the final drive was a very poor decision. Why did the Steelers throw a go ball to Scotty Miller on 4th and 1 instead of run the spartan play?

The NFL does not rig games, the Steelers just played poorly. Aaron Rodgers had Adam Thielen wide open underneath on the 4th and 1, but he threw a go ball to Scotty Miller instead. The Steelers probably would have won yesterday if DK Metcalf played. The Steelers also could have prevented this situation by adding a real WR2 at the trade deadline. PM Team Professors.

Should there be a lot of confidence in the Steelers in Cleveland without Metcalf? It doesn't feel like as big of an absence because of how Rodgers has been playing. Guys like Scotty Miller have emerged. The Steelers must run the ball. Can they prevent Myles Garrett from wrecking the game? Green Bay defeating Baltimore on Saturday could be huge.

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 NFL Week 16 victory against the Detroit Lions. Did coach Mike Tomlin's team prove it is built for late-season and NFL playoffs success after beating the potent Lions offense led by Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs and Amon-Ra St. Brown? Why were Alex Highsmith, Jack Sawyer, Derrick Harmon, Cam Heyward and the run defense able to have so much success against Gibbs? How much of a strength is the running game becoming on offense. With Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell finding huge holes even behind a patchwork offensive line? And is this an identity that can be maintained in the coming weeks? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders DK Metcalf's altercation with a fan in the stands at Ford Field. Could the NFL suspend him? And if so, what impact would that have on QB Aaron Rodgers and a passing game that's hit its stride the past few weeks with names like Adam Thielen, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Scotty Miller in the mix?

What was working for OC Arthur Smith's unit, led by QB Aaron Rodgers; RBs Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell; WRs Adam Thielen, Scotty Miller and DK Metcalf; and TE Darnell Washington? And how much praise do Cam Heyward, Derrick Harmon, Jack Sawyer, Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr. and the defense deserve for limiting the Lions' potent offense? Especially in the absence of T.J. Watt?

Brian shows us his map of the places he's gone in the U.S. Phillip Rivers is signing with the Colts practice squad! He is 44 and is a semifinalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Roman Wilson was inactive because the Steelers wanted Scotty Miller to be the backup punt returner.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: The Mike Tomlin Press Conference 12-9-2025. John Harabaugh and the Ravens requested and spoke with the lead NFL officials over the controversial calls in Sunday's game. Phillip Rivers is signing with the Colts practice squad! He is 44 and is a semifinalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Roman Wilson was inactive because the Steelers wanted Scotty Miller to be the backup punt returner.

Where are things at with Roman Wilson right now? He was a healthy scratch on Sunday and the Steelers went with Scotty Miller instead due to his special team's prowess. How many receivers have left on good terms with the organization since Emmanuel Sanders? We are struggling to name any – that either didn't burn a bridge in Pittsburgh or had success elsewhere. The future for Wilson can't be bright if he's getting benched for random veterans like Miller. Why didn't the Steelers trade for Jakobi Meyers when they had the shot?

93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. With Broderick Jones popping up on the injury report, Jeff said it would be Calvin Anderson filling in on Sunday if Jones can't play. Jeff believes Isaac Seumalo will be back. Will Pat Freiermuth have another big game against the Bengals? Jeff isn't sure what will get Jonnu Smith going and where he fits in this offense right now. Jeff still doesn't understand how this defense let Joe Flacco do what he did a few weeks ago. When will we see Asante Samuel on the field? Jeff doesn't think it's a slam dunk for Marquez Valdes-Scantling to get a helmet because Scotty Miller is back at practice.

Paul Skenes is just a few hours away from winning his first Cy Young award. But the big story surrounding him today is from a report that he has ‘dreams' of playing for the Yankees. The story claims that a current teammate has heard Skenes talking about the dream multiple times. The guys speculated who could have leaked this. We also discovered that the man who wrote the article has local ties to Pittsburgh. 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss the injury report and statuses of Calvin Austin III, Zach Frazier, TJ Watt & Scotty Miller. We dive into what Teryl Austin & Arthur Smith had to say about the defensive performances and how Micah Parsons presents a different challenge than Myles Garrett.

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko to analyze the early results from first-round NFL draft pick Derrick Harmon. Is he proving why he was worthy of being the team's first-round NFL draft pick, even over fellow standout rookies like the Giants' Jaxson Dart? How is his play opening up room for other members of the defense? Including names like T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Patrick Queen and Keeanu Benton? And how much room does he still have to grow as a rookie within coach Mike Tomlin's defense? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponders the team's situation at wide receiver next to DK Metcalf. Why was Roman Wilson mostly invisible in NFL Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns? Even with Calvin Austin III out of the lineup because of injury? Is it a simple question of matchups and OC Arthur Smith's preference for tight ends like Darnell Washington and Jonnu Smith? Or is Wilson falling short in some areas? Why hasn't Scotty Miller been able to make a strong training camp and preseason translate to regular season games? And could Omar Khan make a trade for a receiver to help QB Aaron Rodgers, following a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter on the topic? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ray thinks Roman Wilson is eventually going to get an opportunity, but Aaron Rodgers trusts Scotty Miller and Ben Skowronek. Ray doesn't expect the Steelers to add a wide receiver at this point. "They like Calvin Austin as a No. 2 receiver."

Mike Tomlin is confident in his receiver group. Is he? The Steelers have looked around for WRs throughout the offseason and have yet again come up empty as the season is set to begin for real. He talked up Scotty Miller, Calvin Austin and Roman Wilson in his weekly presser. We looked at the stat lines for WRs in last season's opener and they were comical. Did the Steelers make a mistake by trading George Pickens? Poni thinks fantasy football is a good story teller to how people really feel about the Steelers.

In this clip from the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey to ponder the Steelers' worst-case scenarios in 2025 and what could lead to them. Is the quarterback room good enough as a whole? From Aaron Rodgers with question marks as a 41-year-old to Mason Rudolph as a backup in the event Rodgers is injured? Or could those two doom the team if they're not playing at their best? What happens if DK Metcalf is injured? Do coach Mike Tomlin, GM Omar Khan and OC Arthur Smith have enough depth there in the form of Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson and Scotty Miller? Or do they still need to make a move at some point? And have the communication issues in the defensive backfield been rectified? Or will Jalen Ramsey, Darius Slay Jr. and Juan Thornhill fall into similar traps that Minkah Fitzpatrick did in leading the group last season? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

Ray thinks the Steelers will pay Chris Boswell next year. Rookies who go on IR early recently haven't been able to work their way back in their rookie year if they can't be evaluated during preseason. He would expect Howard to be on IR the whole season unless there's an injury. Joe thinks Scotty Miller will be on the field before Roman Wilson because Aaron Rodgers likes him.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey and Donny Football: Ray thinks the Steelers will pay Chris Boswell next year. Joe thinks Scotty Miller will be on the field before Roman Wilson because Aaron Rodgers likes him. Duquesne defensive back Antonio Epps joined the show. Epps is a three-year starter and All NEC honoree. Pitt and Duquesne play Saturday at noon at Epps has the chance to play the field he grew up going to.

In this clip from the Monday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo project the team's 53-man roster for the offensive side of the ball. -How will coach Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan sort out the logjam at QB? Will Skylar Thompson win the No. 3 job behind Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph, sending Will Howard to injured reserve? -Why does Trey Sermon have a chance to make the team at running back behind Jaylen Warren, Kaleb Johnson and Kenneth Gainwell? -Is Scotty Miller a lock to be WR4 behind DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin III & Roman Wilson? What other wideouts will make the roster? -Will Connor Heyward make the team as a fourth tight end alongside Jonnu Smith, Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington? -Which offensive linemen will join starters including Broderick Jones, Troy Fautanu and Zach Frazier?

Ray 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. Scotty Miller may have an increased role with Rodgers. Steelers beat the Panthers 19-10 to close preseason.

In this clip from the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo analyze which Steelers have boosted their stock the most during the NFL preseason. Does Roman Wilson looked poised for regular playing time alongside DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III at wide receiver? Will Scotty Miller play an unexpectedly important role as he quickly becomes a favorite target for QB Aaron Rodgers? What will Yahya Black's role be on the defensive line? Will his snap counts be more in line with projected starters like Keeanu Benton, Cam Heyward and Derrick Harmon? Or other presumed depth options like Isaiahh Loudermilk? And has Broderick Jones shown that he's ready for the rigors at left tackle alongside young teammates like Troy Fautanu, Mason McCormick and Zach Frazier? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

In this clip from the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo analyze which Steelers have seen their stock drop the most during the NFL preseason. Has Cory Trice Jr. run out of time to prove he can stay healthy and earn a cornerback spot behind Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr. and Darius Slay Jr.? Is Will Howard in danger of landing on IR or even losing his roster spot amid strong outings by Skylar Thompson in the competition to back up Mason Rudolph and Aaron Rodgers? Why hasn't Robert Woods been able to hold off names like Scotty Miller and Roman Wilson in the receivers battle behind DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III? Is DeMarvin Leal officially a bust on the defensive line? And why has the running game been so week? Do offensive linemen including Broderick Jones, Troy Fautanu and Zach Frazier deserve the blame? Or are RBs like Kenneth Gainwell and Kaleb Johnson showing shortcomings as well? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

In this clip from the Friday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey to analyze the Steelers' situation at receiver. Is Calvin Austin III's role in trouble, with Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo reporting that the receiver is set to miss the rest of te NFL preseason win an injury? Could GM Omar Khan still sign a veteran like Odell Beckham Jr., Amari Cooper or Gabe Davis? And where do Scotty Miller, Roman Wilson and Jonnu Smith fit into the conversation? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

In this clip from the Wednesday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette insider Christoper Carter to ponder winners from Steelers training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. Why was Payton Wilson able to meet sky-high expectations at middle linebacker? How has Darnell Washington asserted himself in the passing game alongside names like Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith? Has Yahya Black proven that he's the top reserve offensive lineman behind Cam Heyward, Keeanu Benton and Derrick Harmon? Is Scotty Miller now a lock to make the team after demonstrating chemistry with Aaron Rodgers? How much does Jalen Ramsey appear poised to transform this defense after the late offseason trade that brought him to Pittsburgh in exchange for Minkah Fitzpatrick? And has Broderick Jones successfully shaken off a rough first week to show he can be a strength for the offensive line? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

In this clip from the Wednesday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette insider Christopher Carter to ponder the losers at Steelers training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. Could Robert Woods miss the team at receiver, having possibly been surpassed on the depth chart by names like Roman Wilson and Scotty Miller? Or does he still have a chance to find chemistry with QB Aaron Rodgers? Where does Isaiahh Loudermilk fit in the pecking order on the defensive line after rookies Derrick Harmon and Yahya Black had strong outings? Is Cory Trice Jr. in danger of losing a roster spot amid yet another injury? And with competitors like Beanie Bishop and James Pierre putting solid tape together? And could Skylar Thompson be a threat to Will Howard as the No. 3 QB behind Rodgers and Mason Rudolph? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

On the Tuesday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette sports columnist welcomes insider Ray Fittipaldo to react to Cam Heyward's comments about his contract dispute with the Steelers. Did Heyward have valid critiques of dealing with GM Omar Khan's front office, a year after signing a contract extension? Why don't his comments seem to have helped his favorability among fans? And will he find a resolution that prevents him from missing regular season games? Later, the guys analyze the preseason victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars and what it tells us about the offense. Specifically, they discuss how valuable Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu can be if they're both healthy and playing well at tackle this season; the encouraging contributions of receivers including Roman Wilson and Scotty Miller; and the importance of quick throws from QBs Mason Rudolph, Skylar Thompson and, eventually, Aaron Rodgers. They also give their thoughts on the overall roster depth and small offseason improvements that may have been overshadowed by big moves for Rodgers, Jonnu Smith, DK Metcalf and Jalen Ramsey.

93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff said the arrow is pointing up on Broderick Jones after a strong finish to training camp. Jeff thinks Troy Fautanu is finding where he was at the end of camp last year before the injury sidelined him for the whole year. The guys asked Jeff about Kaleb Johnson and his finish to camp after an underwhelming performance on Saturday. How much work will these guys see in the second preseason game with a joint practice being held tomorrow? Jeff said Jalen Ramsey has been the most impactful player on the field over the course of camp. Jeff voted Aaron Rodgers as the offensive MVP of camp, at least for the last week of work. Jeff noted that Scotty Miller has been the most consistent player on the offense through camp.

The latest on the Cam Heyward front makes it sound like the Steelers are not in the mood to pay him, per Adam Schefter. It sounds like he wants more than just a little sweetener on the top of his deal. Is there some animosity because the Steelers paid multiple guys on the defense this offseason, but not Heyward? The guys think the team was the side leaking things to ESPN. Do the Steelers have the ability to roll over some money from next year or would Heyward also turn that down? We also listened to the final Mike Tomlin chat with the media at Saint Vincent College. 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show.

Did Rudolph deserve more consideration as the starter from coach Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan prior to the signing of Aaron Rodgers? Are his preseason results worth taking seriously, especially without key offensive pieces like DK Metcalf and Jonnu Smith in the lineup? And if Aaron Rodgers struggles to lead OC Arthur Smith's offense, how quickly should Tomlin consider turning to Rudolph? Paul tackles those questions and more from the win against the Jaguars. What should we make of big nights from Scotty Miller, Roman Wilson and Darnell Washington? How good can Payton Wilson be at middle linebacker? And should Skylar Thompson get a chance to make the roster at QB amid Will Howard's injury?

On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, Post-Gazette insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo discuss burning topics heading into the final week of Steelers training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. Is depth at receiver still a concern behind DK Metcalf? Or have Roman Wilson and Scotty Miller done enough in the eyes of GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin to resist a free agent signing or trade involving veterans such a Amari Cooper or Allen Lazard? And where does the injured Calvin Austin III fit into that conversation? Then later, the guys ponder which depth corners are best positioned to make the 53-man roster behind Darius Slay Jr., Joey Porter Jr. and Jalen Ramsey. Will Brandin Echols or Beanie Bishop ultimately get the nod as DC Teryl Austin begins the process of paring down his roster in the coming weeks? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

Post-Gazette insiders Christopher Carter and Brian Batko recap practice at Steelers training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. They detail notable veterans who will miss the NFL preseason opener Saturday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, including T.J. Watt, Jalen Ramsey, Jaylen Warren, DK Metcalf and others, according to coach Mike Tomlin. They also note the progress of the offense in practice, particularly in attacking the middle of the field with QB Aaron Rodgers and WR Scotty Miller. Will Rodgers have more success there than predecessors Russell Wilson and Justin Fields did in OC Arthur Smith's offense? And could Miller have a bigger role than expected alongside names like Calvin Austin III and Roman Wilson? Then later, the guys explain why Yahya Black has continued to impress on the defensive line and offer their thoughts on Cam Heyward's hold-in as he reportedly seeks another new contract after signing a lucrative extension just one year ago.

The Steelers depth chart is out. There were a few takeaways. One of them being the bloom being off the rose that is Roman Wilson in training camp, who is currently listed as their 5th receiver. The training camp returns on Wilson are disappointing. How much do we take this into account given how we know Mike Tomlin claims to not pay attention to his early depth charts? We are hearing people watching practice say Scotty Miller has looked noticeably better than Wilson. The guys dug into Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth being listed together as TE1. And are we in for a punter battle for the ages?

The guys asked Michael about the idea of a Terry McLaurin trade and if the Steelers have a shot to make it happen. Michael talked about some major differences he's finding between the college and pro game. Will the Steelers have success with Aaron Rodgers? He thinks arm strength is one of the most overrated attributes for a QB. Michael thinks the Steelers need to win a playoff game to claim success in 2025. The guys asked Michael about the Steelers change in philosophy with some flashy free agent moves. Michael listed some guys he feels like played for the Steelers that should get more Hall of Fame consideration. Steelers Auction House – Round 2.

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 how the trade to acquire tight end Jonnu Smith has continued an offseason-long trend of catering to the personality and scheme of offensive coordinator Arthur Smith -- putting the pressure on him to increase the performance of his offense. The Steelers acquired Smith, making him the third former Smith protege on the current roster, joining Cordarrelle Patterson and Scotty Miller. In addition to players that have played for Smith before, the Steelers have also made moves to help better fit his scheme, grabbing Aaron Rodgers instead of Russell Wilson and drafting Kaleb Johnson instead of keeping Najee Harris. Smith did a good job last year in his first season as the Steelers offensive coordinator, but the unprecedented level of service to his scheme and personality fit this offseason definitely ramps up the pressure to be an above-average offense in 2025.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss status updates for Cam Heyward, Chris Boswell, MyCole Pruitt, Donte Jackson and Mason McCormick. Could we see Spencer Anderson step in for the injured McCormick? The team surprisingly moved on from Scotty Miller to likely get Calvin Anderson back in the mix as an added OL. We discuss why we haven't seen Roman Wilson, how important this game is for the future of Russell Wilson and if we need to see more of the 3 OLB look this week.

And could the Justin Fields package make another appearance starting with the Week 15 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Including: Does Pro Football Focus value the wrong things when grading Minkah Fitzpatrick, especially in comparison to DeShon Elliott? And what should we make of the Eagles right now? From Saquon Barkley's brilliance to the purported feuding between Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown?

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news. Specifically, he wonders whether the Steelers will re-sign George Pickens this offseason if QB Russell Wilson and the passing game prove they can succeed with names like Pat Freiermuth, Mike Williams, Darnell Washington, Scotty Miller, Calvin Austin III and Van Jefferson amid Pickens' injury. Will Pickens be worth the headaches he causes? Or could coach Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan look to the NFL draft for a replacement after next season? Later, Paul gives his thoughts on the Pirates' trade with the Cleveland Guardians for 1B Spencer Horwitz at the MLB Winter Meetings. Will Horwitz make them better at 1B? Should fans have been hoping for a more proven option? Will the rotation miss Luis Ortiz? And what should be the next orders of business in MLB free agency and the trade market?

December 9, 2024 - Season 15, Episode 62 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers' Sunday afternoon hone win against the Cleveland Browns and how it effectively eliminated their divisional foe from playoff contention. Before we dive deeper into breaking down the Steelers' Sunday win against the Browns, Alex and I go over the pregame news that mostly centered around WR George Pickens being made inactive for the contest with a hamstring injury. We discuss the notion that Pickens was made inactive Sunday as some sort of punishment, and we push back on that based on comments made after the game and how the tera leaves add up to him truly being injured. We also discuss the decision that was made to make DL Dean Lowry inactive on Sunday as well. With the pregame housekeeping all out of the way, Alex and I dive into the Steelers' win against the Browns and we start on the offensive side of the football. We discuss the play of Steelers QB Russell Wilson against the Browns, some key throws that he made and how he got rid of the football a lot quicker on Sunday. We go over the offensive attack the Steelers had on Sunday against the Browns and the play of several other individual players. We also peek at some early offensive linemen grades from Pro Football Focus as well. We make sure to give flowers to appropriate players and that include Mike Williams, Scotty Miller, Pat Freiermuth and Jaylen Warren for plays they made on Sunday. Alex and I then go over the play of the Steelers' defense on Sunday against the Browns. We talk about the long touchdown pass allowed, the three sacks and two defensive takeaways with the early one from DT Keeanu Benton being a catalyst. We also discuss the good, bad, and ugly from that side of the football. Steelers DT Cameron Heyward continues to have a very impressive 2024 season, so Alex and I make sure to highlight more of that coming out of Sunday's game. We also hit on a few special teams notes that we have coming out of Sunday's win against the Browns. We discuss several key stats from Sunday as part of our game recap discussion. Alex and I look at the Steelers' last four games and what the team needs to do to clinch a playoff spot in Week 15. We also discuss the expectations and excitement for the 2024 Steelers in the playoffs. The Tuesday episode of AFC North Hard Knocks should be an entertaining one once again, so we look ahead to that later in the show. This 100-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted, and we close things by answering a few emails that we recently received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.
