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.

Has Yahya Black proven that he's the top reserve offensive lineman behind Cam Heyward, Keeanu Benton and Derrick Harmon?

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.

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.
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?
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? Former NFL GM Michael Lombardi joined the show. 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.

How important is this game for George Pickens? Could the paradigm on Pickens change completely if he goes off in a Steelers win? It could be that simple. But is it up to the team? The guys think Pickens requesting a trade isn't out of the question. The guys also credited Najee Harris for how he handled things this season. Roman Wilson hasn't been activated and the Steelers also released Scotty Miller. Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve gave his take on the Ravens offense without the use of Zay Flowers, who is out Saturday night. Steve talked about the lack of depth the Steelers have at receiver. Steve admitted he has been a Najee Harris apologist, but Jaylen Warren should be getting more snaps in this game. Steve thinks there should be situations when we see Justin Fields on the field throughout the game. Can the Steelers win a rock fight? The guys asked Steve about the future of George Pickens and how much the rest of the league trusts him. Steve predicted a 27-20 Ravens victory.

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Christopher Carter welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to react to news that WR George Pickens may miss more time than expected. How can QB Russell Wilson and OC Arthur Smith compensate for the injury? Will we continue to see more of depth receivers including Mike Williams, Scotty Miller, Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin III? 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.

How much has losing Roman Wilson impacted that? Led by Pat Freiermuth, how has the tight end room consisting of Darnell Washington, MyCole Pruitt, Connor Heyward and Rodey Williams fared?

On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey reacts to Andrew McCutchen's latest injury and what it means for his future with the Pirates.

Or are Van Jefferson, Scotty Miller and Quez Watkins getting less credit than they deserve?
In his weekly YouTube appearance, Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise joins host Adam Bittner to weigh Steelers GM Omar Khan's options if he can't complete a trade for San Francisco 49ers star Brandon Aiyuk. Would Khan be justified to feel content with names like Van Jefferson, Quez Watkins and Scotty Miller behind George Pickens? Or should he be looking at other options like the Seattle Seahawks' D.K. Metcalf, who played with QB Russell Wilson? Is Roman Wilson still a viable option as a No. 2 this year? And would a return for JuJu Smith-Schuster make any sense after he was cut by the New England Patriots this week? Our duo tackles those questions, then gets into some Pirates talk.

Were manager Derek Shelton's comments this week about playing good baseball until this current 10-game losing streak too generous?

Jason tackles those questions, then gets into some Steelers topics. Is there really a competition at tackle? Or are Troy Fautanu and Broderick Jones the obvious starters despite offseason coach speak?

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive, presented by Mike's Beer Bar, host Christopher Carter welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to recap the first day of OTAs on the South Side. Is there an actual competition between Justin Fields and Russell Wilson for the No. 1 QB job? Or just a lot of talk about it? What kind of pressure is on George Pickens as he becomes the top wideout and how is he handling it? How did new receivers including Quez Watkins, Van Jefferson and Scotty Miller look on Day 1? And did we gain any clarity on how things might be working out at tackle between Dan Moore Jr., Troy Fautanu and Broderick Jones? Why can names like Dean Lowry, Isaiahh Loudermilk and DeMarvin Leal potentially take advantage of Cam Heyward's absence amid his contract dispute? And what other questions does this team need to answer before training camp? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

May 10. 2024 - Season 14, Episode 130 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers signing free agent WR Scotty Miller to a one-year contract since our last show. We discuss what Miller brings to the team, the state of the wide receiver room right now and much more concerning that position group. The Steelers 2024 rookie minicamp gets underway on Friday, so Alex and I go over the roster that was released and several other preview items ahead of the annual event in Pittsburgh. Steelers RB Najee Harris was back in the news on Thursday, and we tell you why. We discuss how we both think it's crazy to believe the report that Harris would have asked the Steelers to not pick up his fifth-year option this offseason. Might former Steelers OLB Bud Dupree be brought back in the coming days, weeks, or months? We attempt to answer those questions on the heels of a Thursday report concerning him. Later in this show, Alex and I are joined by Gregg Bell, who covers the Seattle Seahawks for The News Tribune, and Chris Tomasson, who covers the Denver Broncos for the Denver Gazette. We ask Bell about the possibility of the Steelers acquiring Seahawks WR DK Metcalf via a trade after June 1. We also get his thoughts on new Steelers QB Russell Wilson, who obviously played several years for the Seahawks after starting his NFL career in Seattle. As for our interview with Tomasson, we get his thoughts on if he thinks the Broncos might be looking to trade WR Courtland Sutton at any point during the offseason. We also get his thoughts on Wilson landing with the Steelers after playing the last two seasons with the Broncos in Denver. As always, we ask that you follow Bell and Tomasson on Twitter/X at @gbellseattle and @christomasson, respectively. You can read the work of these two beat writers at https://www.thenewstribune.com/profile/218712645 and https://gazette.com/users/profile/chris%20tomasson/, respectively as well. Alex and I then quickly recap what Bell and Tomasson told us on Friday. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 93-minute episode and we end it all by answering several emails we have received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.
