Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve laughed at Mario Cristobal being a name thrown around for the Steelers job – suggesting Curt Cignetti as the only college coach in this cycle he would expect to get looks. Steve talked about a few teams that don't send personnel to events like the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine. Steve doesn't understand how Mike McCarthy would make sense with this job. Steve thinks it could be too early for someone like Nate Scheelhaase as a head coach and he wants to see him work as an offensive coordinator first. Steve pointed out some key differences in Fernando Mendoza and Will Howard, the latter called an ‘OK' prospect by Steve. Steve got into the arm talent and strength traits that don't often slip through the cracks if there isn't much more to their game, like Anthony Richardson in comparison to Josh Allen. Should the Steelers call Sean McDermott? Steve said Yes.
The guys reacted to speculation that Mario Cristobal could be worked into the mix of Steelers coaching candidates. There's also a report out there from ESPN that some coaches are worried about the Steelers job because Art Rooney II is ‘cheap' and the organization needs to bump up salaries and size of staff. We will find out something when the new coach is hired – if it was a Rooney money thing or a Mike Tomlin thing when it came to staff size. Imagine if someone like Chris Shula said ‘no' to the role because he knew his staff would have limitations. Shouldn't the Steelers have savings from not having to pay Tomlin anymore?

Steve Palazzolo, host of Check the Mic, joins JD Bunkis to react to the breaking news of the Buffalo Bills firing head coach Sean McDermott. The pair analyzes the controversial interception call during the Bills' loss on Saturday, Josh Allen's volatile performance, the Denver Broncos' chances without Bo Nix, if Sam Darnold is up for the challenge against the Los Angeles Rams, CJ Stroud's disaster-class and future in Houston, if the Chicago Bears gave the game away.

Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve mentioned a couple of coaches that he thinks deserve second chances – Kevin Stefanski and Robert Saleh. Steve said when all things are equal he would hire an offensive head coach, but don't count out the hiring ability of the defensive minds. Steve thinks the way the Packers defense fell off greatly sans Micah Parsons is a reason to stay away from Jeff Hafley in the process. Steve said he doesn't know enough about Nate Scheelhaase to project what he could be as a head coach. Steve said Brian Flores still intrigues him. Out of the LA DCs, which one does Steve like more? Steve would ‘jump' at the idea of Matt LaFleur if the Packers didn't want him anymore.
So, the Steelers players loved Mike Tomlin, but hated the coordinators? We revisited the Mike DeFabo piece for this segment. That doesn't make sense. With the power Tomlin held, he hired his coordinators. How can you praise the person who put the people you hate in place? It's also telling that Art Rooney said nobody on the current staff would be considered as the next head coach. That indicates they weren't the owner's guys.

It's been 9 years since the Steelers last playoff win, but 20 years since an all-time Steelers playoff win.

Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve wouldn't say the Steelers have ‘no chance' on Sunday in Detroit, but he likes the Lions in the game. Is Aaron Rodgers playing close to a Matt Stafford level? Steve doesn't think the Lions defense is as bad as Poni thinks. Steve said Aidan Hutchinson will be a problem on Sunday. Steve said the interior of the offensive line is where the Steelers can attack on Sunday because that has been an injury-riddled group for the Lions, but he still expects the Detroit offense to be tough to stop. The Vegas sharks are expecting 50+ points in the game and Steve thinks that will happen. Chris shared that he wants to see Myles Garrett break the all-time sack record against the Steelers.
The Steelers are 7-point underdogs in Detroit this Sunday. Is that disrespectful? The Lions have some impressive W's on the season. The Steelers do too. Even with the Lions currently outside looking in to the NFC playoffs, are they one of the best teams in football? The Lions are a good team, but the defense is having a rough season. Can the Steelers stay in this game or even win it? Is Aaron Rodgers playing well enough to keep them in it? Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show.

Smith's Sayings – What did Arthur Smith say to the media earlier today? Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve isn't sure if Steelers fans should be ‘excited' about Adam Thielen, but he can do some things the Steelers haven't gotten all season in terms of simplicity. He thinks Thielen can do things underneath on pass plays that would probably help them. Steve said DK Metcalf has never been a great all-around receiver, so he always needs a complementary piece with him. Steve doesn't understand why Pat Freiermuth has been neglected in this offense. Poni asked if the Arthur Smith offense is broken, but Steve said they aren't alone. Steve thought the Darius Slay signing was a good one when it happened. Steve said Derrick Harmon has been pretty good, just dinged up this season. He thinks it's frustrating to watch a team with 3 good edge rushers not do anything very creative in their blitzes. Steve thinks the Ravens win a close game against the Steelers on Sunday. Donny Football Debrief – We heard some of the highlights of Donny's interview with former Steeler Breiden Fehoko.

Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve said he would rate Aaron Rodgers a 5.5/10 right now and Mason Rudolph a 4.5/10 – answering the same question Poni asked Pomp in the 3 pm hour. Steve isn't convinced Rodgers is playing better football than Ben Roethlisberger did in his last couple years. Steve described Rodgers as ‘a tick off' in his last few games. How good has the Steelers offensive line been in protection of Rodgers? Steve isn't sure why Darius Slay would go right back into the Steelers lineup. Does Steve think the Steelers should have regret trading George Pickens? The guys asked Steve how good Darnell Washington has been and what kind of potential he has at over 300 pounds. Steve picked the Steelers to beat the Bears, sighting how lucky Chicago has been.

Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve was skeptical of Will Howard when he transitioned from Kansas State to Ohio State, and he mostly got proved wrong last season as Howard won the national title. Steve pointed out some issues, but why he was impressed by his work last season. Steve said a lot of people can easily knock Howard, or any OSU QB, for being surrounded by great receivers, but he showed that he can get the ball to playmakers. Steve doesn't think Aaron Rodgers has lost anything physically, but he has his games/moments where he is showing signs of his age. Steve worries about how consistent Mike Tomlin is and why the Steelers should reach their cap on the same thing every year.
Another thing Jon Gruden to The Fan Morning Show today was how much he loves Will Howard. How much are you buying in? Chris thinks it is totally overboard stuff from Gruden and that we can't keep building up these expectations for a guy that barely practiced before the season. Chris went as far to say Howard won't start more than a half season worth of games as long as he's wearing black & gold. Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show.

Smith's Sayings – What did Arthur Smith say to the media earlier today? – Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve thought the Steelers probably should have added something to the offense at the deadline, but thinks there might be a little bit left in the tank of Marquez Valdes-Scantling. He said MVS has a lot of issues in his game, but if he can still run and have that connection with Aaron Rodgers, it could pay dividends. Steve said we live in a ‘championship or bust' world, which could blind people to future assets. Is the defensive output going to even out? The guys had Steve react to the Steelers cutting DeMarvin Leal earlier today. Is Steve more about traits or production at the college level? Steve picked the Steelers to win in LA. – Donny Football Debrief – Antonio Brown has been taken into custody by US Marshals on an attempted murder charge. What does all of this mean for his HOF candidacy?

Cam Heyward told reporters that players deserve the brunt of the blame for why the defense is playing the way it is. One thing Poni points to is the fact that TJ Watt is so resistant about moving around. Should we be worried that Watt has lost a step? It seems like the Steelers' detriment is continuing to rely on their players even as they continue to age. Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve agrees with Poni and thinks the Steelers have the ingredients to beat the Colts on Sunday after 2 straight losses. Will this be the season that the Mike Tomlin .500 or better record comes to an end? Steve thought things would work on the Steelers defense, but that has not happened. Steve said they should use the advantage of all 3 edge rushers and make sure the defense never knows where they are coming from. What are the Steelers getting in Kyle Dugger? Donny Football Debrief – The Irsay family is going to auction off some pieces of memorabilia of Jim Irsay. What is the coolest piece?

Does the TNF curse end for Mike Tomlin? He has yet to win a Thursday night game, on the road, within the division in his illustrious career. The Bengals are missing their best offensive player and best defensive player in this game. The Steelers lost in Cleveland last year on TNF, but Poni said that game was under way different circumstances. The guys said if you consider yourself a contender, this is a chance to make a statement. Poni said he doesn't have any bad feeling about this game. KDKA TV's Bob Pompeani joined the show. Poni told Bob he would get his nipples pierced if the Steelers lose this game. Bob thinks Pat Freiermuth and Jonnu Smith will be more involved tonight. Pomp doesn't think the Steelers are in trouble in the division even if they lose the game tonight. Bob doesn't understand why the Steelers struggle so much on the road on Thursday nights. Why did Mike Tomlin hype up Joe Flacco so much? Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve is stationed in Cincinnati as the Steelers get set to play the Bengals there tonight. Steve explained why the Cincy run game has been invisible and why the offensive line is still bad. Steve didn't love Shemar Stewart coming out of school, but said he has the appearance of a disruptive player. He described Stewart as a ‘bull in a China shop,' but the Bengals will miss Trey Hendrickson. Steve thinks the back end of the Bengals defense provides some potential. Steve explained why Broderick Jones didn't get a great grade in the Cleveland game, when Myles Garrett was mostly shut out. Why are the Bengals LBs so bad? Steve said the Steelers will win, but it won't be easy.

Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve broke down the Browns' trades over the last couple of days, which included moving Joe Flacco and swapping corners with Jacksonville. What was Steve's impression of the Dillon Gabriel debut? Steve thinks spreading out the Browns defense is the best play. What are some things the Browns do well? Steve is confused as to why Pat Freiermuth has been phased out of the Steelers offense. Steve doesn't think the Bengals got that much more dangerous with the acquisition of Flacco. If the Ravens start 1-5, Steve feels like the tide will finally be turned on the Steelers being the favorite in the division.
