Podcast appearances and mentions of tj watt

The new music beds are making their presence known. Chris asks if they're AI. I don't believe they are. How should the Steelers change their defense? Should they bring back a majority of their defensive players or completely overhaul the unit?

In this episode, I discuss the latest on the Steelers with Darren Steele (@DJSBurgh) and Dave Podnar (@ProfPod). We discuss Mike Tomlin's legacy, the head coaching candidates, if Mike McCarthy is a legitimate candidate and if he'd bring back Aaron Rodgers, the options are quarterback, if TJ Watt should be traded, and more!

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. The conversation started with Mark's days at Cal U, aka, Harvard on the Mon. Kaboom said he went to a lot of bowling alley bars back in the day. Mark has moved on to the coaching search and how Art Rooney and Omar Khan will handle this. Mark expects Khan to have ‘a lot of say' in the process. Mark feels like it will be a coach from the same cloth that Bill Cowher and Mike Tomlin were cut from – mid-30's, first-time head coach and *possibly* defensive minded. Mark believes Art's son, Danny Rooney, will have input in the choice. Mark said right now Chris Shula feels like the favorite to be the next guy, just based on their history and the list of coaches they will interview. Mark said if they go with the defensive mind, that guy better have a young, offensive mind with him or have a really convincing plan to change the offense. Where does Nate Scheelhaase rank on Mark's list? Mark got into the challenges of commanding a room and being the ‘leader of men' it takes to be a head coach. Mark said Brian Flores was an intimidating figure and that players were ‘afraid' of him. More w/ Mark – There will, reportedly, be 3-4 more names added to the Steelers list of interviews. Mark feels like the initial 8 names are their main targets, but that's not to say the new ones can't surprise. Mark said Mike McCarthy is too old and hasn't coached in a minute, which makes him feel like they should stay away. If there isn't interest in Curt Cignetti, what about Norwin and Pitt product Mike Shanahan? Kaboom thinks Kevin Stefanski would be a ‘great' fit here because it's not Cleveland. Does Brian Flores have more options than Pittsburgh to be a head coach? What would be the pros and cons of a tank? More w/ Mark – Mark reacted to the stories of how the players reacted when Mike Tomlin told them he was stepping down. Kaboom is skeptical just how good Tomlin will be on television and if he's even all that interested. Mark isn't all that sure if he coaches again, but said the right situation would always do the job. Kaboly said Mike seemed like the same guy to him and wasn't ‘worn out' like a lot of people are saying. What could the staff look like under a new head coach? Kaboom thinks the entire QB room is up in the air, outside of Will Howard, who will serve as a backup at-best. Does Mark have any interest in Malik Willis? Mark felt like Cam Heyward may have hinted at retirement during the season, but his level of play would say otherwise. Is it time to trade TJ Watt? The guys asked Mark if he had any thoughts on the James Harrison disdain for Tomlin. Who was the big-name player that wasn't upset over the Tomlin news? Mark doesn't think it will be that much longer before the Steelers hire their guy.

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray said there will not be an attempt by the Steelers to tank or take a step back to take a couple steps forward. Ray said the arrow is now pointing to 2027 for a QB in the draft because the guys just aren't there this year and the Steelers are selecting 21st. Ray said the Steelers should approach both TJ Watt and Cam Heyward as trade pieces this off-season. Ray said the Steelers' job is attractive due to stability, but the Ravens probably have the best situation since they already have Lamar Jackson in-place. Ray gets the feel that the Steelers have a lot of respect for Sean McVay given the way they have opened their doors to interviewing ‘his' guys. Ray commented on Jeff Hafley getting an interview and talked about knowing Jeff back to his days at Pitt.

Chris Hoke told the midday show that the Steelers should trade TJ Watt. The guys connected that to the Mike DeFabo story that came out earlier today about the players sobbing over Mike Tomlin stepping down as the Steelers head coach. We also got JJ Watt chirping Poni. Shouldn't Watt want to play for a team that can win it all now as his career turns to the back nine? Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show.

After being asked by the text line, The Drive responded to the idea of trading a first for TJ Watt.

We have discovered a portal between Ashley's house and the station and it might be time to put it to the test… We FINALLY Have a game time and it's exactly what Gregg has been predicting for days; Saturday at 5pm. And now all of the pieces of the Divisional round are in place. The Houston defense is really something special and New England will have a tough test next weekend. Meanwhile, the Steelers are headed home and TJ Watt has never won a playoff game. What's next for Mike Tomlin and Aaron Rdogers? :30- The Steelers season is done and that means DK's season is done, so how did his season compare to JSN's and how obvious is it that John Schneider knows what he's doing and isn't afraid to take risks? :45- It's list season and Mariners pitching prospect Ryan Sloan is #6 on the list of the top pitchers and that's pretty damn good!
