Podcast appearances and mentions of tj watt

Mike McCarthy told reporters today that the contract talks with Joey Porter Jr. are at an ‘impasse' with the regular season quickly approaching. Should the Steelers pay him? Should they seriously listen to trade offers? If another team offered a 1st round pick, the guys think they would make the move. It's all about getting that 1st round QB in 2027. Is Porter better than fans give him credit for? Jalen Ramsey wants to see Joey Porter Jr. get paid. Would it mean more if those comments came from someone like Cam Heyward or TJ Watt? Could Peezy hold out into the season? WTOV's Jack Hillgrove joined the show. Jack thinks the motion to keep 4 QBs is growing more and more by the day. Jack believes Max Iheanachor could be the starting right tackle by the mini-bye between Weeks 4 & 5, if not sooner. Jack said the Joey Porter Jr. extension should have been done first over the 3 other members of the 2023 draft class that got deals this offseason. Should the Steelers consider cutting Roman Wilson if they can organize a trade to bring in another WR?

Mike McCarthy had some high praise for third-round pick quarterback Drew Allar. A CBS report suggests that some plays Allar has made in camp looked better than the actual result. Allar vs Howard debate continues. Some reports also suggest Allar is clearly outplaying Howard. Poni asks the question: if Allar has outplayed Howard so much, what is the point of Howard being on the roster? ESPN published an article about Hall of Famers on all 32 NFL teams. They have two shoe-ins for the Steelers: Aaron Rodgers and TJ Watt. Ray Fittipaldo joins the show! Max Iheanachor left practice with an injury. Ray says Max was watching practice and it wasn't serious enough for him to leave the facility completely but he did not return to practice. Ray says that Allar has been fine but is also a rookie that has made some mistakes. McCarthy has praised Mason Rudolph as well. Does that mean he will be the backup? Ray says he does not know. Aaron Rodgers had some choice words for Roman Wilson after he might have run the wrong route leading to an almost interception. Brandin Echols also left practice with an injury today.

Footbahlin Merchhttps://footbahlin-with-ben-roethlisberger.clockwise.io/productsThe Steelers finally have real football again, and training camp already feels like a different world. After years of one steady routine, we're adjusting to Coach McCarthy's camp and asking the question every fan in Pittsburgh is thinking: when the vibe changes, does the identity change with it? We start with the big picture shifts fans notice right away, from familiar traditions to the little details that make a team feel like itself.Then we dig into the headline that sparked the loudest reactions: no tackling in training camp. We break down why that hits a nerve for a franchise built on physical play, and we weigh it against the reality of player safety and the NFL being a season-long game of attrition. We also talk through the nuance, because “no tackling” does not have to mean “no contact.” Wrapping, leverage, thud tempo, and consistent technique can still build a tough defense, but goal-line moments and true accountability are harder to recreate without going to the ground.From there, the conversation turns to the preseason and the quarterback plan. How much should Aaron Rodgers actually play if he knows the offense, and what do those snaps cost Mason Rudolph and the younger quarterbacks competing for the future? We also hit the early camp buzz: offensive line optimism once pads come on, creative pass rush looks with TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith moving around, secondary updates, and the skill players getting people excited. Listen, share this with a Steelers fan who needs to hear it, and leave us a review with your take: are you buying the no tackling approach or not?

Hour 2: The show is apparently very popular in veterinary offices. Broderick Jones has gained weight this offseason, and it's a good thing! And Bob Pompeani and Mike Florio join the show to break down the latest around the Steelers and the NFL.

Bob Pompeani joins the show to talk about Donny's homecoming, Jones' weight gain, Mike McCarthy's decision to not have live tackling at training camp, what he expects from TJ Watt, the Pirates' bullpen management, if what happens against the Reds should dictate what the Pirates do moves-wise before the deadline, if he'll be on the Nightly Sports Call tonight, Mullsy's golf shirts, and more!

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss what Alan took away from the availabilities of DK Metcalf, Omar Khan, TJ Watt, Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers. What do we make of the team placing Joey Porter Jr. on the PUP list, after originally only stating Jalen Ramsey and Donte Kent would be put on the list. What do we make of Broderick Jones being cleared to participate? Do we take Aaron Rodgers at his word for this being his last season and how he feels about Roman Wilson?

Chris Carter joins us from his vacation to talk about the Steelers! Bill Barnwell's list yesterday of Steelers who could be worth a first round pick in a trade. Chris says that five out of the six Steelers on the list make some sense but a first-round pick for Keanu Benton is not something he would expect. He thinks that Benton would fetch a second-round pick and command a high price tag in the free agent market but not a first-round pick in a trade. A lot has been made about the potential upcoming Joey Porter Jr. extension, what will a Benton extension look like?

Hour 1: Chris is riding solo for the show today! Where does confidence stand with the Pirates right now coming out of the All-Star break? Chris takes issue with Austin Bechtold's appearance. And Nick Farabugh joins the show for his weekly Fair Game segment, but Mullsy keeps making a blunder during the interview. Hour 2: Matt Clement joins the show to break down the Pirates post-All-Star break. Dom sent out a political tweet yesterday, but did it scare him away from doing it again? And are network TV NFL pregame shows about to become a thing of the past? Hour 3: Mark Kaboly joins the show in-studio for the full hour! There is major drama at The Open Championship with Bryson DeChambeau, and Chris can't get enough of it. Will TJ Watt actually have a good season this year? And Dom confronts Kaboly for muting him on Twitter. Hour 4: Chris reacts live to the breaking news that the Pirates-Guardians game tonight has been postponed due to the smoke. The guys try pickle beer together on the air. And FOX apparently wanted Game 7 of the 2016 World Series to be played on two different nights.

The Pirates have a very little chance to win the NL Central because the Brewers have created such a gap. But what about a wild card spot? Fan Graphs gives them the best chance of any team outside looking in to make the postseason. The site gives the Pirates just under a 42% chance to make it to October. Are they better than the Cardinals, Diamondbacks and Marlins? Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Jon Gruden continues to praise the work of Will Howard as we have yet to see him in a pro game. Ray thinks it's more of the same and added what we have heard so many times from Mike McCarthy so far. Per usual, Ray said the offense in the preseason will be vanilla, so it could come down to what we see in practice. Ray reacted to the idea that 6 Steelers, including Keeanu Benton, would fetch a 1st round pick in return if traded. Ray expects a bounce back year from TJ Watt and thinks he will have a 12-sack season. When will the Joey Porter Jr. contract buzz start to pick up again and when will that deal get done? How long will it take for Max Iheanachor to become the starter at right tackle? Poni took us on a ride through some football preview books.

People around the NFL said that there are 6 guys on the Steelers that are worth a first-round pick. Apparently, NFL executives think that the Steelers could get a first rounder for Keeanu Benton. Mullsy thinks that the league believes that TJ Watt's best days are behind him at this point. Poni thinks that TJ could still feasibly get to 17 sacks this year. Mullsy disagrees with this pretty strongly. The contract extension deadline is up, meaning that George Pickens will not get a new extension with the Cowboys and he will play the 2026 season under the franchise tag. Poni is confused as to why Steelers fans still think the George Pickens trade was a good idea. Donny Football Debrief – Quite the performance from Intern Dom today on the morning show quiz.

Crowley makes such a bad error when Chris Carter joins the show that he has to leave the studio. Chris Carter joins the show to talk about if Joey Porter Jr.'s game is getting disrespected, where TJ Watt ranks among pass rushers right now, if Aaron Donald is planning on coming out of retirement, and more!

Hour 1: Is it time for the Pirates to take Mitch Keller out of the starting rotation? The guys debate if soccer players are soft.

Hour 4: The guys go through their colleges' acceptance rates. How different is dating now compared to previous years? And Jeff Hathhorn joins the show to break down the Jared Jones controversy from last night.

Is TJ Watt a top-10 pass rusher in the NFL right now? Dorin says he would rather block Watt than Nick Herbig. Pat says it's not a foregone conclusion that the Steelers will pay Joey Porter Jr.

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Did Cam Heyward get respected by ESPN today after he was left off their list of Top 10 DT? Will we see a more motivated TJ Watt this season as he faces a new challenge in a new defense? At what point will Derrick Harmon take over as the Steelers best defensive lineman? Ray dove into what the Steelers have along their defensive front. Ray thinks it's a little bit of a pipe dream that the Steelers could land Baker Mayfield next offseason. When will Joey Porter Jr. get his payday? What did Ray think of former Steelers talking down on Mike Tomlin and his defense?

Do the Penguins have their eyes on Elias Pettersson? That could be their new target if the Jason Robertson sweepstakes fall through. One problem… the Poni scuttlebutt isn't good. He got a message from someone around the Canucks that gave a pretty horrid review of Pettersson and his overall attitude. This sounds like a situation the Penguins should just stay away from.

Ray Fittipaldo joins to discuss Joey Porter Jr's place among the CBs in the league, is TJ Watt still a game wrecker? Ray thinks he's still top 5.

ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi thinks the TJ Watt ranking among the NFL executives is pretty fair considering the dip in numbers he had in 2025. Aditi said she didn't put Watt on her All Pro ballot last year. How much would it help Watt to move around a little bit?

NFL executives voted TJ Watt as a top 10 edge rusher in football recently, having him at number 7. Is this reasonable? Mullsy does not think that TJ is the 7th best edge rusher in football, and says that he was surprised to see so many Steeler fans agree with him. Mullsy also says that you can make the argument that TJ isn't the best edge rusher on his own team.

The Pirates lineup is out for tonight. Marcell Ozuna is in it, against a righty, showing that the injuries have really started to stack up. What are their options dwindling down to with the amount of injuries they are currently dealing with? We heard from Konnor Griffin, one day after being placed on the IL that will keep him out 8-10 weeks.

Mullsy also says that you can make the argument that TJ isn't the best edge rusher on his own team. Endy Rodriguez has been placed on the IL with a left glute strain. The Pirates are getting killed by the injury bug right now. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Aaron Donald commented with the eyes emoji on a post about him and Myles Garrett potentially teaming up in Los Angeles. Mike says that it would be almost impossible for NFL teams to stop both Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald on the same defensive line, even if Donald is only like 80% of the player the last time we watched him play. Mike says that Brandon Aiyuk needs to file a petition to the league to get reinstated and placed on the 49ers roster. Today is Jack Lambert's birthday. Mike was a huge fan of his.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Munaf Manji and Dave Essler open their Tuesday, July 7, 2026 show by revisiting Monday's card, where a first five innings call on Atlanta cashed even as the Braves bullpen later surrendered an eleven run ninth inning, while a three star Dodgers team total over covered a wild extra innings win over the Rockies. From there the two work through a full Tuesday baseball slate, starting with Milwaukee and St Louis opening a day night doubleheader behind Jacob Misiorowski, before turning to a headline matchup between the Chicago Cubs and Baltimore Orioles, where Matthew Boyd opposes Shane Baz. Both hosts lean toward Chicago after examining Boyd's strong run support and Baz's fly ball tendencies coming off a heavy pitch count start. The conversation moves to Sacramento's trip to Detroit, where J.T. Ginn faces Tarik Skubal, with the hosts split between concerns over Ginn's recent home run rate and Skubal's own workload questions after a 104 pitch outing. Atlanta's visit to Pittsburgh draws a long discussion of both bullpens, with Hurston Waldrep opposing Paul Skenes, and Munaf ultimately backing the Pirates on the money line despite a rough recent stretch for the Pittsburgh ace. Boston and the Chicago White Sox follow, with Payton Tolle against Noah Schultz, and both hosts landing on the home underdog White Sox given a hot recent stretch and command questions surrounding Tolle. A rapid tour of the rest of the card touches Arizona and San Diego, Cleveland and Minnesota, Seattle's trip to Miami, and a Houston and Washington matchup featuring Tatsuya Imai and Andrew Alvarez, along with starts from Zach Wheeler, Trevor McDonald and Michael Lorenzen. After a quick mention of a new Pregame.com discount code, the show pivots to football for the latest entry in its NFL win total series, a detailed breakdown of the Pittsburgh Steelers heading into 2026. The hosts walk through an offseason that brought a new head coach in Mike McCarthy, the return of Aaron Rodgers for a final season, and a retooled receiving corps built around DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr, Darnell Washington and Pat Freiermuth. Weighing an accomplished pass rush duo in TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith against an aging offensive line and a defense leaning on veterans, both hosts land on the over for Pittsburgh's eight and a half win total, pointing to a favorable schedule and a division full of first year coaching staffs. The episode closes with Tuesday's best bets, an over in the Arizona and San Diego game from Dave and a Marlins money line pick from Munaf built around a dominant home pitching performance, before the two tease Wednesday's show and its look at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Joe Pisapia, Derek Brown, and Andrew Erickson don't hold anything back as they debate the league's biggest overrated stars.

Ken and Lima go around the division with radio hosts Bob Haynie (105.7 The Fan in Baltimore), Mo Egger (ESPN 1530 in Cincinnati) and Andrew Fillipponi (93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh) and discover that Lamar Jackson looks sharp but Baltimore's offensive line is a mess, while Cincinnati's linebacker corps remains a glaring unaddressed weakness heading into camp. Pittsburgh is in full delusion mode banking on Aaron Rodgers to recapture 2010 magic, with Drew Allar being completely rebuilt from scratch and TJ Watt apparently worth somewhere between a first and a fifth depending on who you ask. The Sorsby debate made its way around the division too, with all three hosts agreeing he should not be playing but Mo Egger making the case he is must-watch television regardless.

Nick Herbig joins Just Football to celebrate his massive $100 million contract extension with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Nick breaks down the moment he found out the deal was done, what it means to be a Steeler for life, and the role his big brother played in shaping his career. He opens up about learning from TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith, the intense Wisconsin summer workouts, his growing sack totals, and the mental stress of the contract negotiation process. Plus, Nick talks Aaron Rodgers, his Hawaii roots, the "Area 51" nickname, and plays a Steelers-only 20-0 Draft game to close things out.
