Around The 412

Smitty and Tyler discuss all the latest surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode we tackle some questions from social media including going forward with Justin Fields as opposed to Russell Wilson, what that might look like from a financial perspective, adding offensive talent to the roster, Jim Rooney's comments, the idea of drafting Ashton Jeanty and if we'd give up our memories as...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins! The team has continued their up and down season, winning two of three since we last recorded. Alex Nedeljkovic made history by scoring a goal over the weekend. Marcus Pettersson has been a hot name on the NHL Trade Market and just might be playing his best hockey of his career as the deadline nears. Anthony Beauvillier has scored 12...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins! The team has continued their season of high highs and low lows as of late. They seem allergic to closing out games. What works for them for the first 50 minutes just seems to totally collapse as the stakes get higher in the course of a game. How much change will this lead to? Well, it's already started. The team appears to finally h...

Smitty and Tyler discuss all the latest surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team's season has come to an end following another Wild Card weekend loss. This one came at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens and was the fifth consecutive loss for the team. We aren't here to discuss that specific game to much degree, but rather the bigger picture. Plenty are calling for Mike Tomlin's firing, but tha...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins! The team has put together a nice little stretch of hockey to find themselves sitting just outside of a wild card spot. They secured 5 of 6 possible points over the last week and continue to get scoring from up and down the lineup. Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust continue to find the back of the net with regularity, and they've really...

Smitty and Tyler discuss all the latest surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team dropped the PA rivalry game in a dominant performance from the Philadelphia Eagles. A performance that shows just how good the Eagles are and where the Steelers are hopefully heading as they re-tool the roster under their model. Up next for the Steelers? A divisional matchup with the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins! The team has actually had a nice little run as of late. They've won 5 of their last 7 and find themselves back into the wildcard mix. The biggest factor in this is just that the goaltending (while still not good) has at least somewhat stabilized, and they aren't sinking the ship. Contributions from Blake Lizotte, Philip Tomasino and...

Smitty and Tyler discuss all the latest surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team got a measure of revenge by beating the Cleveland Browns on Sunday to improve to 10-3 on the season. They did so without George Pickens, which will be the case for at least one more game. What should the plan of attack be without their most talented pass catcher? DeShon Elliott and Larry Ogunjobi will both try to...

Smitty is flying solo on this one to discuss the Pittsburgh Steelers' win over the Cincinatti Bengals on Sunday and go over the Hard Knocks premiere. Russell Wilson and the offense moved the ball with ease against a porous Bengals' defense. Arthur Smith and Russ had a great gameplan and the yards and points were both easy to come by. TJ Watt, Nick Herbig and Donte Jackson all got takeaways for a S...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins! The team has dropped back-to-back games and sits in last place of the Metropolitan Division. Despite them trending in the wrong direction over the last few seasons, this is a totally new low under Mike Sullivan. Sidney Crosby isn't even on pace to be a point per game player this season. They're not getting the secondary scoring they...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins! The team has points in 4 straight games, which on the surface doesn't sound all that bad. Then you realize those 4 games were against the Detroit Red Wings (OTL), Columbus Blue Jackets (L), San Jose Sharks (SOW) and Tampa Bay Lightning (OTL). Mike Sullivan's team continues to trend in the wrong direction as they blew their 8th multi...

Smitty and Tyler talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins. Kyle Dubas has begun his shakeup of the 2024 roster. The team traded Lars Eller to the Washington Capitals for a couple of draft picks in the first of likely many more moves to acquire future assets as this team enters a transition period. We discuss what could be coming next, how we got here and how quickly the Pens can get to the other side o...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode we discuss the team's win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday. TJ Watt, Cam Heyward, Patrick Queen and company held Jayden Daniels and the Commanders offense in check for the most part. Daniels had by far his least productive game of the season. Russell Wilson and the Pittsburgh offense took some time to get...

Smitty and Tyler talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins. The team has bounced back a bit over the course of the last week. They've earned points in 3 straight games, though one of those was a shootout loss in which they blew a 3-1 third period lead to the New York Islanders... Anyway, a big reason they've collected some points as of late is Evgeni Malkin jumping up to play on Sidney Crosby's LW. The...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode we discuss the team making a couple of moves at the NFL Trade Deadline to gear up for the stretch run. The team's search for WR help finally came to an end when they acquired WR Mike Williams from the New York Jets in exchange for a 2025 5th-round pick. A player they wanted to meet with in free agency, finally lan...

Smitty and Tyler talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins. The Pittsburgh Penguins sit at dead last in the Eastern Conference. While we may not have expected them to contend for a Stanley Cup, this is certainly not where we expected the team to be sitting either. The team looks lifeless most nights. They've blown two-goal leads in 3 of their last 5 games and have had leads in 4 of their last 5. Somehow...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode we discuss the team's win over the New York Giants. The Steelers broke out their color rush uniforms for Monday Night Football and found a path to victory despite their slow start. The defense struggled to contain the likes of Darius Slayton and Tyrone Tracy but held the Giants to field goals in the first half. Th...

Smitty and Tyler talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins. The last week has not been kind to the Pittsburgh Penguins. It started off well with Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby sharing a night of milestones in a 6-5 OT thriller but has gone downhill since then. 3 straight losses (just one point collected) has left them with more questions than answers. The team doesn't know where to turn in net with Tri...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode we discuss the team's win over the New York Jets. Russell Wilson made his team debut and settled in nicely after a slow start. Unlocking something in the passing game that we hadn't seen with Justin Fields. The exact reason that this move was made. Giving his playmakers such as George Pickens and Pat Freiermuth op...

Smitty and Tyler talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins. The regular season is underway for the Penguins and they're off to a predictable 2-2 start. How they got there has been another story. Evgeni Malkin has been on a tear to begin the season, currently tied for the league lead in points. Sidney Crosby has yet to register a goal and has just 3 assists. They've already sat Tristan Jarry for back-to-...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode we discuss the team's win over the Las Vegas Raiders, in which the team eclipsed 30 points for the first time this season. We give our thoughts on the game including Patrick Queen looking more and more comfortable, TJ Watt being TJ Watt and Najee Harris having maybe his best day as a Pittsburgh Steeler. Justin Fie...

Smitty and Tyler talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins. The regular season is underway for the Penguins and the entire NHL! On this episode we go through our yearly predictions of who will lead the team in goals, assists and points. We also list who we think will be the biggest disappointment and who the team's breakout player will be. Finally, we go through how we believe the Metro Division standin...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode we discuss the team's loss on Sunday Night Football to the Dallas Cowboys. In a game largely dominated by the Cowboys, the Steelers were in it until the final seconds thanks to the defense's ability to take the ball away. That said, Dak Prescott and the Cowboys moved the ball with ease against TJ Watt and company...

Smitty and Tyler talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins. The regular season is just around the corner, and we have some questions as the preseason wraps up. What's the level of concern about injuries to players such as Blake Lizotte and Alex Nedeljkovic? Should the team be operating differently in the preseason to preserve their players? Should preseason standout Harrison Brunicke get a run with the...
