Podcast appearances and mentions of tj watt

Ken and Lima debate whether the Browns should chase Marvin Harrison Jr., who has barely been targeted this season, and decides they don't need another sullen receiver. They then break down tonight's Steelers matchup, where a banged-up offensive line and a resurgent TJ Watt could make it a real test for Deshaun Watson. After a Jordan Schultz clip on Todd Monken's belief in Watson, they discuss how Pittsburgh might rush him and rattle him mentally.

Mike DeFabo of The Athletic joins Afternoon Drive on The Fan. He talks about the Joey Porter Jr. trade, the challenge ahead of Deshaun Watson in the Steelers defense, this stage of TJ Watt's career, and more.

FOOTBAHLIN MERCH:https://footbahlin-with-ben-roethlisberger.clockwise.io/products3.5 yards per play will punch you in the gut no matter who you root for. After the Patriots game, we're in the basement with beers and a stack of ugly facts, trying to explain how the Steelers can win time of possession and still look nonfunctional on offense. We start where football usually starts: the offensive line. When protection breaks down, the run game dries up, third downs become a cliff, and even a veteran quarterback ends up taking shots that make you relive every brutal hit you've ever seen.From there, we get into the stuff fans are arguing about all week: are defenses “cracking the code” with pressure looks, is the scheme too big, and what does Mike McCarthy mean when he says he wants to “turn the volume down”? We also talk drops and confidence, including what we'd do to get DK Metcalf back in rhythm, why reps aren't the real issue for pros, and how you can help a receiver by calling the right types of targets at the right time.On the other side of the ball, the defense holds New England to 13 points and TJ Watt looks like TJ Watt, but we're honest about why that scoreboard number can still feel shaky. Then we bring in Evan for the family dinner and the fan pulse check, before we preview the Bengals and what Cincinnati's weapons will test in coverage and pressure.If you enjoy real locker-room perspective mixed with straight talk, subscribe, share this with a Steelers fan who's spiraling, and leave us a review. What's your one fix you'd make first: O-line changes, play-calling changes, or a faster passing plan?

Jones & Keefe | Friday 9/18/2026

Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. Steve can't believe that he is still answering questions about Joey Porter Jr. every week. Steve said ‘he's just not an elite corner.' Steve added that he would categorize Porter as ‘good, not great.' What could the Steelers get for Porter in a trade? Steve doesn't think it would be a 1st or 2nd round pick, since it requires a payday to Peezy. Steve was mad at Poni for falling for the TJ Watt proclamation that he was given a negative play for his pick six Sunday afternoon by Pro Football Focus. It turned into a little argument over PFF's overall grading system.

Another turn in the Joey Porter Jr. saga as the Steelers corner left practice today with a trainer. Yesterday, he did not have an injury designation following practice. This changes the equation quite a bit. The guys both admitted to miscalculating the situation and thinking we were at the point where we would see Porter playing on Sunday. Now, it's hard to be very sure of that. Should the Steelers just take any trade offer for Joey Porter Jr. at this point? Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show.

ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – We reacted in real time to the Steelers injury report, which included a new turn in the Joey Porter Jr. status. The Steelers listed Porter as ‘limited' with the note of ‘NIR/conditioning.' That tells everyone Porter is not hurt. How long can the Steelers claim Porter isn't conditioned enough to play? Aditi reminded us that in 2021, TJ Watt stepped on the field in Buffalo to start the season and was ready to go, which makes the conditioning aspect of this a little fishy. What is the Porter perception around the league? Aditi hasn't talked to Porter, so she can't say the price he is asking for. She has spoken to other teams, however, and none of them are jumping at the chance to trade for JPJ. Does Porter pass the eye test for other teams? How does this end? Could Porter bet on himself? We also reacted to Troy Fautanu not practicing today and Michael Pittman being limited. What are the rules with teams handling injuries? Aditi will be in Baltimore this weekend for Ravens-Saints and talked up Tyler Shough as a fun QB.

FOOTBAHLIN MERCH:https://footbahlin-with-ben-roethlisberger.clockwise.io/productsThat toe-tap touchdown in Super Bowl XLIII is burned into NFL history, but the real story lives in the details nobody sees. We sit down with my teammate and brother Santonio Holmes for the first time ever to walk through what led to that catch, what he's thinking before the snap, and how years of offseason corner-route reps turned into six points on the biggest stage in football.Before we rewind to Tampa, we start with the present. The Steelers are 1-0, and we break down what the Week 1 win tells us about the offense with Aaron Rodgers: protection questions, a run game that has to grow up fast, third-down struggles, and why drops and penalties from receivers can be a Week 1 symptom of limited preseason game speed. We also talk scheme, including why empty formations can help Rodgers diagnose pressure and get the ball out, and where the risk shows up when the offensive line is under stress.Then we give the defense its moment. TJ Watt changes the game with a pick-six, and we talk about the mindset and technique that separates great defenders from everyone else, plus a key coverage play that shows veteran discipline and avoids a pass interference flag. We even end with The Footbahlin Family Dinner sponsored by Giant Eagle where we share some off-field stories, including how Jerry Rice personally taught Santonio Holmes the basics of golf.If you love Steelers football, NFL film-room details, and the real anatomy of a clutch moment, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave us a review. What's the greatest catch you've ever seen, and does this one still hold the top spot?

"Who's more disciplined: USF or the Army?" Dan accused Brian Hartline of being un-American for USF's incredible last-second victory against Army, and he's here to defend himself against those accusations. He also explains what it was like to recruit WR at Ohio State, his thoughts on the Tampa vs. Miami Cuban Sandwiches, and plays a game of Douche or No Douche. Then, Myles Garrett gets surgery, TJ Watt is the better brother, and Jaxson Dart thrives. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

When the dust was settled, we didn't see Joey Porter Jr. yesterday in the Week 1 win over the Falcons. Are his days in a Steelers uniform numbered? Would the Steelers buck the trend of not negotiating in-season to get something done with Porter? What would be more shocking – a deal getting done now or the team trading him? It feels like there is some beef and bad blood between JPJ and the team. What is the deal with this ‘ramp up' period for Porter to get back on the field? The guys alluded to TJ Watt signing on the dotted line right before the start of the season a few years back and looking like the best player on the field about 12 hours later. How much are we buying the back injury? How does this saga end? How much power does Omar Khan have now compared to before? The guys think it's weird that the Steelers didn't even make an offer for the longest time. Is it true that Porter requested a trade and why did it happen so late? If Joey Porter Jr. continues to sit out and it starts to impact games – like the Patriots or Bengals having huge games in Porter's absence – will the team start to turn on him? How does it differ from the Le'Veon Bell situation? The guys think Jalen Ramsey and Cam Heyward are the two players that would be interested in hearing from if it continues.

Will the role change at all for TJ Watt in 2026? If the Steelers go with the ‘less is more' approach with Watt, will it lead to better overall results? Mike McCarthy likes what the team has on the edge – their strongest position group. Are we over the days of saying Watt is a top tier edge rusher? Poni sees a bounce back year for Watt and he finishes top 5 in sacks. Will the change in usage help out the former DPOY? KDKA TV's Bob Pompeani joined the show. Pomp is curious by the line on the game with the Steelers still sitting at just 3.5-point favorites in this game. What does that say about the nation's outlook on the Steelers? Pomp said it's a Bijan Robinson game because they can't lose to whoever is at QB for the Falcons. Pomp thinks there is too much to lose for Joey Porter Jr. if he doesn't play in this game due to his contract dispute. Bob has the Steelers finishing 10-7, but said it's not good enough to win the AFC North. Pomp believes the Steelers will win a playoff game on the road. Power Rankings – Steelers MVP candidates.

After the 2 trades over the weekend that sent Broderick Jones to Dallas and Kaleb Johnson to Green Bay, the Steelers are left with very little from 2021 and beyond. They haven't had a 1st Team All Pro player drafted since TJ Watt, who was selected almost a decade ago. Was Kenny Pickett the worst pick of the lot?

After the 2 trades over the weekend that sent Broderick Jones to Dallas and Kaleb Johnson to Green Bay, the Steelers are left with very little from 2021 and beyond. They haven't had a 1st Team All Pro player drafted since TJ Watt, who was selected almost a decade ago. Was Kenny Pickett the worst pick of the lot? Joey Porter Jr. talked to the media today. Will he play in Week 1? He couldn't commit to playing in games if he does not receive a new contract. We found one player in Steelers history that actually sat out games, but that was a rookie Mike Merriweather in 1988. Donny Football Debrief – 19 years ago today, one of the greatest upsets in college football history kicked off what would be perhaps the craziest the sport has ever seen.

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?

On today's show Pat and the boys are live from Saint Vincent College in Latrobe PA with the Pittsburgh Steelers having their first full padded practice from training camp.

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!

Today was the first day of Steelers practice. How did everyone look today? The quarterback breakdown is going to be something to follow the entire way. Do we still think the Steelers have done Mason Rudolph wrong? Is he going to be the backup? We didn't hear much about Will Howard today. 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff gave us a rundown of how practice is different under Mike McCarthy in comparison to Mike Tomlin. Poni wanted to hear something about each QB today. Jeff told us TJ Watt moved around when lined up on defense and it's something we could see from all of the edge rushers this season. Jeff said Broderick Jones still looks thin even though he's healthy enough to practice. Jeff touted Asante Samuel Jr. as an MVP of the first day. What do players think of the lack of tackling at camp? ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi talked about the note-taking aspect of covering training camp when coaches keep the tempo very high. She said for some people, it's all about the team's health. Aditi talked about the movement of TJ Watt in the defensive alignment and she hopes he stays with it.

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.

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.
