Podcast appearances and mentions of tj watt

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.

Steelers insider Nick Farabaugh from Penn Live dot com joined the show. Nick shared that he will NOT be in attendance for Morgan Wallen this weekend even though he is a fan of his music. Nick expects Joey Porter Jr. to get a deal done with the Steelers before the season starts, on the heels of a pair of his class of 2023 teammates getting paid. Nick thinks we see Alex Highsmith and TJ Watt in black & gold this season following the Nick Herbig contract extension. Nick isn't sure if Highsmith goes the hold-in route like we've seen from players in the past. Nick projects Keeanu Benton getting 16-18 million bucks if the Steelers sign him long-term. Is Darnell Washington TE1?

The Pirates took 2 of 3 against the Astros as they set sail for a massive 6-game stretch against the Braves and Dodgers. How will this go? If things go well, who breaks out? If things don't, who is to blame? There's also a massive concert in town this weekend. Can the Pirates weather the storm of the Braves and Dodgers?

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. After Nick Herbig signed his extension with the Steelers, are Alex Highsmith or TJ Watt on the block? Was Highsmith actually ‘sick' yesterday when he missed practice? Ray said we won't really know how Highsmith will feel about this unless he openly breaks his silence before training camp. Ray doesn't expect the recent signings to deter the Steelers from signing Joey Porter Jr. to a new deal. Is Pat Freiermuth at risk of losing more reps? Ray isn't sure if Robert Tonyan makes the team even though he signed a deal with the Steelers today. Is Yahya Black a future nose tackle in the Steelers defense? Ray projected around $25M/year for Porter.

If the Pirates bullpen played to even an average level, they would be 12 games over .500 this season. Poni wondered if the Pirates should kick the tires on a Bailey Falter reunion. The biggest insider in all of baseball suggested the Pirates could still deal Carmen Mlodzinski, but would that make sense since the team needs bullpen arms more than anything? What if a Mlodzinski trade netted a true late-game reliever in return? With the Pirates recent success of trading away borderline starters, should they try it again?

Steel City Insider Podcast is back with exclusive observations directly from Pittsburgh Steelers minicamp and OTA practices. Steelers beat writer Jim Wexell joins Jeremy Hritz to break down everything he saw on the field, including Aaron Rodgers' eye-opening connection with Roman Wilson on a stunning 70-yard completion that had everyone talking. We also discuss:

Mike and Charlie projected the dominoes to fall after the Rams' blockbuster trade for star DE Myles Garrett. Fox Sports NFL reporter Greg Auman joined Sports Talk. Auman discussed the action around the NFL world this offseason, previewed the NFC South, and evaluated the Saints' offseason moves. Mike told a story about former Saints DE Doug Atkins. Charlie reset the NCAA Baseball Tournament bracket.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we wrap up the team's minicamp. What do we make of TJ Watt saying his stubbornness is the reason we haven't seen him rush much other than over the RT? Alex Highsmith was absent with an illness per the team, after several questions were raised about him not being in attendance. Could Keeanu Benton be the next guy in line for an extension? What do we make of the pressure vs sack conversation? What about impact plays as a whole? Let's go for another Steelers Afternoon Drive and discuss all this! Learn more about your ad choices.

Mike McCarthy said Nick Herbig ‘deserved' his new deal with the Steelers, after inking a contract that makes him one of the highest-paid ‘reserve' players in NFL history. It's a $100M+ deal for the Steelers third edge rusher on the depth chart. Are the Steelers going to make it more of a true 3-man rotation if they don't deal TJ Watt or Alex Highsmith? It's hard to take down the snaps for the two players ahead of Herbig.

Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike thinks it will be difficult for Aaron Donald to return to the NFL because it's so much easier said than done. But does he ponder it a little bit more because Myles Garrett will now face a lot of the attention? Mike reacted to the Nick Herbig deal and thinks the Steelers are opening up business for Alex Highsmith or TJ Watt. He said teams always make the call, it's just a matter of how long those conversations are. Mike thinks this will actually strengthen the case for Joey Porter Jr. to get paid this offseason. Mike still thinks the trade discussion with TJ Watt begins with a 1st round pick, noting a lot of the recent trades in the NFL. How complicated would a Watt trade be?

A read & react to some Steelers sound today from mandatory minicamp – the likes of Cam Heyward, TJ Watt and Nick Herbig shared answers with the media. ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – The guys asked Aditi about getting to work with Russell Wilson this fall with the NFL on CBS. Aditi remembers working with Nate Burleson in his early days of television. Aditi gave her reaction to the Steelers extending Nick Herbig. What does it mean for the fellow pass rushers? What does it mean for others up for contracts? Aditi gets the sense that Aaron Donald will play football this season. Donny Football Debrief – The Steelers are reportedly in talks with Keeanu Benton on a new deal. He shares an agent with Nick Herbig and would be the second player of the 2023 draft class to get a deal.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss the Steelers giving EDGE rusher Nick Herbig a four-year $100M contract extension. What does this mean, if anything for the futures of TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith? How will the team use Nick Herbig in 2026 that could be different from his role up to this point? Does there have to be an odd man out this season? We also discuss the team signing Darnell Savage, what went down at mandatory minicamp and much more.

Hour 2: Did the Steelers make a mistake not trading TJ Watt like the Browns did with Myles Garrett? Could Aaron Donald come out of retirement with the Rams? And the guys draft the Pittsburgh athletes with the most aura.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss the Cleveland Browns trading star EDGE rusher Myles Garrett to the LA Rams for Jared Verse, a first-round pick, a second-round pick and a third-round pick. What are the impacts on the Steelers by this, and should we have remorse about not moving TJ Watt? We then discuss the deal that sent AJ Brown to the New England Patriots and how it impacts the AFC.

A massive trade in the NFL just an hour before the show, with the Browns sending Myles Garrett to the Rams in exchange for Jared Verse and a 1st round pick. There is, reportedly, more to the trade that we will find out later. Garrett rewrote the NFL record book with single-season sacks last season and has been a Steelers nemesis for years. This makes the road a bit easier for Pittsburgh, but the same can be said for the teams in Baltimore and Cincinnati. Chris has a little FOMO on this because the Steelers didn't do it with TJ Watt when they had the chance. Does this matter for the Browns since they consistently mess up the pick at QB? The full terms to the Myles Garrett trade are out. The Browns get Jared Verse, a 2027 1st round pick, a 2028 2nd round pick and a 2029 3rd round pick. Is Aaron Donald going to come back since the Rams are loading up to win another Super Bowl? Is AJ Brown on the move next? How much better would he make the Patriots?

En este episodio de The Terrible Morning Shot exploramos una de las grandes preguntas de los últimos años en Pittsburgh: ¿qué habría pasado si Matthew Stafford hubiera llegado a los Steelers? ⬛ Más allá del quarterback, analizamos si esa decisión realmente habría cambiado el rumbo de la franquicia o si los problemas han sido más profundos. Tomamos como ejemplo el manejo de una superestrella como T.J. Watt y debatimos si los Steelers han sabido maximizar el talento de sus mejores jugadores para convertirlo en el éxito colectivo que todos esperan.

Hour 1: Is TJ Watt still a top-ten pass rusher in the NFL? A car caller throws a segment off the rails. And Nick Farabaugh joins the show to go over the latest Steelers news and rumors. Hour 2: Is Bubba Chandler pitching for his job tonight in Toronto? Matt Clement joins the show to talk about Chandler's Pittsburgh future and other Pirates stories. Hooters says they are becoming “family-friendly” and Dom is not happy about that. And could Sunday Night Football move to Amazon Prime? Hour 3: Mark Kaboly joins the show for the entire hour! Was Mike McCarthy the only coach that could've brought Aaron Rodgers back to Pittsburgh? The weather for Memorial Day weekend isn't looking good right now. And a caller pulled a prank on Chris yesterday. Hour 4: Chris looks at where the Pirates stand right now going into Memorial Day. The debut of "Do You Trust Dom?" Is Primanti's still what it once was? And Dom did not like Stephen Colbert's final Late Show last night.

Is TJ Watt still a top-ten pass rusher in the NFL? One NFL analyst doesn't think so. Mullsy goes through the top ten list and the guys ranked above him, and wonders if the list is right. Have we seen the best football that Watt has played?

The NFL free agency floodgates have officially opened, and Omar Khan is wasting no time aggressively rebuilding Mike McCarthy's roster. We are breaking down the blockbuster trade and extension for our new WR1, Michael Pittman Jr., alongside the massive free-agent signing of veteran cornerback Jamel Dean to lock down the boundary. We also discuss the bittersweet departure of 2025 Team MVP Kenneth Gainwell and analyze the rest of Pittsburgh's early offseason moves, including Rico Dowdle and Cole Holcomb.

Omar Khan joined the Deebo and Joe podcast to say that the Steelers are in communication with Aaron Rodgers and his agent. He did not elaborate on that. Poni thinks that this means that things are not going well with the Steelers and Rodgers. The Steelers created the impression that the Rodgers situation would not drag on this year, and obviously, it has. Mullsy says that Rodgers acts like he does not want to be the center of attention, but that is definitely not the case. How close is TJ Watt to not being a good player anymore? Mullsy thinks that he is closer than most people think. Is it even worth it for the Steelers to bring Aaron Rodgers back at this point? Donny Football Debrief – The first MNF game has been announced, but we don't know where the game will take place. More NFL schedule leaks.

Brendan Howe and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss the chances of the team's first-round pick being in Pittsburgh for the NFL Draft, the concept of a TJ Watt trade and the potential fallout and what we think the grace period will be for Mike McCarthy.

At least one Steelers insider reached out to Poni to say the Gerry Dulac report on TJ Watt being floated for a trade is ‘complete BS.' Chris and Donny guessed Mark Kaboly, who tends to enjoy poo-pooing any big news. Another layer on this is Nick Herbig, who got interest from another team, but the call reportedly ‘went nowhere.'

Steelers insider Nick Farabaugh from Penn Live dot com joined the show for a little Fair Game w/ Farabaugh. Is TJ Watt getting traded and is his contract even tradable? Nick is worried about Nick Herbig being blocked from a starting role as somewhat coming up on a contract year. Nick told the guys why a safety will be considered in the 1st round because of the lack of depth at the position in this year's class. The discussion went back to Herbig and if the Steelers would pay/tag him after this season. Nick believes the Steelers would bet a ‘significant haul' if they traded Herbig right now. Nick doesn't think TE will be considered in the 1st round, even if Kenyon Sadiq is still on the board, but it should be on the table in the middle rounds. Donny Football Debrief – We now know the 16 players that will be attending the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh.

Steelers correspondent Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Mark now believes Aaron Rodgers will be back with the Steelers before we reach the draft in 13 days. That being said, Mark doesn't see Rodgers going as far as announcing the Steelers draft pick on 4/23. If the Steelers select a QB, will that spell the end for his guy Mason Rudolph? Mark doesn't think the Steelers were ever really interested in the Kirk Cousins idea. More w/ Mark – We joked with Mark about us meeting his nephew last week at the Pirates' home opener. Mark said the chance of the Steelers trading TJ Watt is ‘zero, none.' This discussion sparked into a debate over the edge rushers and what the future could look like for Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig. Out of others that are up for contract, who will and won't get paid? We found out that Kaboom really likes Sebastian Joseph-Day, one of the sneaky Steelers free agent signings. More w/ Mark – Mark shared his take on Poni hoping the Penguins and Pirates throw him a bone. We tried getting to the bottom of the Pirates City Connect apparel being shared with the morning show, but nobody else at the station. Mark shared that he is a fan of Denzel Boston as we quickly approach the draft. If Vega Ioane is still available at 21, will the Steelers rush to the podium to draft the left guard? Mark was salivating at the idea of Gennings Dunker joining Mason McCormick and Zach Frazier on the interior of the Steelers offensive line.

A very interesting nugget shared by Gerry Dulac in his chat today – the idea of trading TJ Watt or Alex Highsmith. Right now, Nick Herbig is blocked from becoming a starter, but is due for a new deal after this upcoming season. Are they too late trying to move on from Watt? What type of return could they be looking at right now?

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. The guys asked Ray about the visitors to the Steelers in the pre-draft process, including Makai Lemon. Ray thinks there will be plenty of starting talent found on the second day of the draft. Ray speculated how the Steelers may have their WR board configured. What did the Packers WR corps look like in the Mike McCarthy heyday in Green Bay and how could the Steelers turn theirs into that? Ray shared why the Steelers may consider taking a safety in the 1st round. Ray doesn't think the Steelers would receive a 1st round pick in exchange for TJ Watt at this point, but thinks the team's ask would be way too high for him in a trade. Ray had an interesting name, two weeks out, that the Steelers could call at 21st overall.

Donny Football Debrief – The justice department is coming after the NFL with an anticompetitive case facing the consumer.

The Steelers are meeting with Makai Lemon, who finds himself in the top tier of WR entering the 2026 NFL Draft. He is joined by Carnell Tate and Jordyn Tyson in that group. If Lemon is not going to get out of the Top 15, should the Steelers trade up? Is there anyone worth making the ‘Devin Bush' trade for? Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show.

The discourse surrounding the 30th pick in the NFL Draft reveals a tapestry of historical significance interwoven with the complexities of player selection. I embarked on a thorough examination of this particular slot, engaging in a dialogue with my esteemed colleague, Ed Cleese, who elucidated the nuances and notable statistics associated with pick number 30. Over the span of 90 years, the prevalence of defensive backs selected at this juncture stands out, with a staggering 10% of choices culminating in this position. This discourse is not merely an exploration of numbers; it transcends into a narrative that encapsulates the fortunes and misfortunes of players who have donned the mantle of the 30th pick. We traverse the annals of time, highlighting both the forgettable selections and the heavy hitters that have emerged from this position, culminating in a rich discussion about the implications of these choices on franchises and their legacies. In our conversation, Ed delineates various players, illustrating how the landscape of the NFL Draft has evolved. The analysis extends to the cases of Keith Browner and Andre Johnson, whose stories serve as reminders of the unpredictability inherent in drafting decisions. Browner, a defensive lineman whose career was marred by legal troubles, stands juxtaposed with Johnson, an offensive tackle who, despite being a first-round selection, failed to leave a mark on the field. This juxtaposition underscores the dichotomy of success and failure that haunts the draft, reminding us that the selection process is fraught with risk, and often, the most promising prospects may falter under the weight of expectation. Ultimately, our dialogue culminates in an affirmation of the extraordinary talents that have emerged from the 30th pick, particularly emphasizing the illustrious career of TJ Watt, a player whose prowess on the field has not only redefined expectations but has also solidified his place among the legends of the game. We find ourselves eagerly anticipating the upcoming draft, poised to witness the next chapter unfold in the storied history of the NFL, as we reflect on the past and look forward to the future of football.Mentioned in this episode:Sports History Theme SongThis theme song was produced by Ron "Tyke" Oliver of Music Meets Sportz https://sites.google.com/view/sportsfanztastic/sports-history-network?authuser=0

Nick Wilson and Jonathan Peterlin react to Marcus Spears' claim that the Browns are wasting Myles Garrett's prime years. They discuss the 'Cleveland tax' on player legacies and compare Garrett's situation to other elite pass rushers like Maxx Crosby and TJ Watt. The conversation also evaluates the Browns' rebuilding strategy and potential quarterback upgrades. 01:00 - Nick's Golf Struggles 03:15 - Marcus Spears on Garrett 09:31 - Browns Rebuild Strategy

Send a textThe kind of football that makes Pittsburgh feel like Pittsburgh isn't an accident—it's a choice. We open the playbook on what defines the Steelers now: the city's unmatched stadium atmosphere on the North Shore, the legends who set the bar, and the decisions that could turn a short window into a serious run. From the animated Mount Rushmore debate to reliving Polamalu's chaos and Hines Ward's grin-through-the-hit toughness, we map the DNA that still drives this team.Then we get current and honest. Mike McCarthy's hire lands with mixed energy—some want a long-haul architect, others see a proven leader who understands Pittsburgh's culture and knows how to assemble a staff. Bridge coach or not, the task is clear: pick a quarterback path and build hard around it. We lean into the Rodgers question—one more year of elite processing and on-field coaching—or hand the keys to Will Howard and commit to development. Either way, the roster must match the vision.That's where the draft and free agency come into focus. Wide receiver is priority one: a WR2 who separates, wins late in the route, and stretches safeties. We talk names, traits, and how a true vertical threat reshapes the offense. From there, we zero in on tackle depth to keep the quarterback upright and a secondary upgrade to survive a league engineered for points. And yes, we tackle the TJ Watt question head-on—what loyalty, value, and timing mean when your best players carry big contracts and bigger expectations.If you love real Steelers talk—stadium lore, coaching nuance, cap realities, and a draft board that actually fits the scheme—you'll feel at home here.

“I take the blame on defense, we thought we earned it but it was a young mindset.” Jared Verse We love sports because it's all about the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, but for the athletes who play the game, it's all the moments in between that truly impact one's journey and mindset. Heading into Super Bowl weekend,  we look ahead to the big game with one of the most dominant young players in the NFL, LA Rams Jared Verse — the 2024 Defensive Rookie of the Year and one of the league's most disruptive young edge rushers. Jared joins The Pivot Podcast for a deep-dive into the chess match called professional football. The young star breaks down how film study, technique, and a relentless motor have helped him terrorize NFL quarterbacks, rack up pressures and tackles for loss, and evolve into a true game-changer for the Rams' defense.  We get into LA's last two season endings in heartbreak loss, going inside the mindset after his team's NFC Championship loss in Seattle as Jared opens up in a reflective and humbling tone about what went wrong, who's to blame and how to recover mentally from the disappointment. He talks about his MVP quarterback Matthew Stafford, leadership from Sean McVay and special advice from Aaron Donald that has changed his approach to the game. In opening up about this loss that still stings, and how this feeling will fuel his offseason preparation — from extra hours in the lab to the mindset tweaks that separate good defenders from great ones. Plus, he shares what it's like to learn from and compete with the best: the time he challenged Aaron Donald to a brutal one-on-one workout, came out the other side exhausted but inspired, and walked away with lessons on grit, fourth-quarter toughness, and the habits of elite defenders.  Jared also talks about the defensive stars he studies, the moves and counters he's adding to his repertoire, and how guys like Donald, Myles Garrett, Micah Parsons, TJ Watt and others helped shape his approach — even facing San Fran's Trent Williams on his welcome to the NFL moment and how it woke him up to another level. He also shares his thoughts on his former college teammate Keon Coleman's struggles in Buffalo and what he thinks will come of it all. From film breakdowns to mental insight to edge rushing philosophy, teammate dynamics, and how the greats build a game against the very best — this is one of the most personal, candid reflections of a top athlete opening up on the highs and lows of playing sports at an elite level.
