Pittsburgh Steelers Podcast | Steel City Underground

Joe and Brian are back with this special edition of the Steel City Underground Podcast, breaking down all of the Pittsburgh Steelers moves as the team trimmed their roster down from 80 players to the what is the first 53-man roster of the 2022 NFL season. What were some of the surprises? Who might be back on the team as more moves are made? And what do the hosts think of the two cutdown day trades...

Joe and Zac play Monday Morning QB discussing the Steelers preseason finale against the Detroit Lions. What players may have won a spot on the 53-man roster? What areas could the team improve by adding someone else’s roster casualties? And just who is the Steelers starting quarterback for Week 1? Will it be Mitchell Trubisky? Is there a scenario where Kenny Pickett is the starter? Is there a chanc...

Did someone say Killer P's? Right, we may have gone a bit overboard with this show's title, but we're going to get serious for a moment and attempt to hammer out which players are on the bubble to make the 2022 Steelers' initial 53-man roster. Joe and Brian discuss the quarterback competition, how or why Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett, and/or Mason Rudolph will play – and how much, against the Lion...

This isn’t your usual postgame recap! Following the Steelers win over the Jaguars on Saturday, Pittsburgh’s quarterback competition may have gone nuclear in terms of heating up. Joe and Zac discuss whether Kenny Pickett has ascended to potential starter status – and if so, what becomes of Mitchell Trubisky and Mason Rudolph? The hosts also talk about Benny Snell, Mark Robinson, the offensive and d...

Brian’s back on this edition of the Steel City Underground Podcast as he rejoins Joe to discuss the Pittsburgh Steelers upcoming preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars this weekend. As the team travels to Florida several news items dropped, including Kenny Pickett’s upgraded status for the game as well as some other starters switching spots. Could Mason Rudolph be traded? Should the Steel...

Holy cow! Have you ever seen a preseason game that was so much fun? Joe and Zac never have – and its doubtful anyone else has either! The hosts breakdown the Pittsburgh Steelers 32-25 preseason victory over the Seattle Seahawks. There’s a HUGE focus on the competition for the starting quarterback job, with perhaps some surprising comments. The offensive line’s positives and negatives are also high...

It’s a late week edition of the SCU Podcast and we’ve made it folks! Football is back! The Pittsburgh Steelers hosts the Seattle Seahawks to kickoff their 2022 NFL preseason slate at the newly named Acrisure Stadium. Joe and Zac are on the horn with the call from everything involving quarterbacks to cornerbacks. Mitchell Trubisky is the starter, but how much will he play? Does Mason Rudolph get a...

Joe and Zac reconvene as football returns to the Steel City! This weekend the Pittsburgh Steelers will play in their first preseason game of the 2022 NFL season. Ahead of that excitement there’s a ton of news and notes to cover, including training camp storylines, Derek Watt’s contract, position battles other than quarterbacks, and how the national media has (mostly) got their stories wrong! How d...

Joe is back reporting once again from his humble confines at Steelers training camp with some more updates from Week 2 of practice sessions. The quarterback position is still up for grabs as Mitchell Trubisky leads the pack in drills but the team alternates back to Mason Rudolph as a “two” and sometimes even a “one” depending on who you listen to. Joe speaks on how to interpret some of the news co...

Joe and Zac are back to cover more of Pittsburgh Steelers training camp as the team put on pads for the first time in Latrobe on Monday. Tune in to hear more about the quarterback battle between Mitchell Trubisky, Mason Rudolph, and Kenny Pickett, as well as a potential non-story about Najee Harris, which receivers are standing out, and whether or not backs-on-backers was a dud. Questions or Comme...

Joe is back with his observations from the first two days of Steelers training camp. Everyone had certain impressions heading back to Latrobe, but within two days there are some clear takes on how the Steelers are handling business: especially with their search for a new starting quarterback! A number of other players, including rookies, are turning heads, as well as some other surprises. Tune in...

Welcome to a special mid-week edition of Steel City Underground Podcast as Joe Kuzma reports from Latrobe, Pennsylvania following the first day of Pittsburgh Steelers training camp.

Joe and Brian are back, this time piggybacking off of our episode earlier this week to see if the Steelers could be overlooked this season. The focus shifts to the schedules, as each AFC North team is put under the microscope with win-loss predictions. Where do the Steelers fall in comparison to their division rivals? Tune in to find out! Questions or Comments? Call the Steel City Underground Fan...

Joe and Zac are back to quarterback this Monday edition of the Steel City Underground Podcast, as they look ahead to the 2022 NFL season. Everywhere the hosts look, it appears that talking heads aren’t giving the Pittsburgh Steelers a chance to win much of anything this season. A lot of rankings have them in the basement, but have the Steelers regressed this offseason? Pittsburgh is looking for Be...

Former Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell is apparently calling his football career quits – and moving onto the boxing ring. A local sports radio personality posed the question as to whether or not Bell belongs in Pittsburgh’s Hall of Honor. Joe jumps on this edition of the SCU Podcast to discuss that possibility as well as where the running back stands in Steelers history, and if he would ever be...

Zac is back as he joins Joe for another variety style episode of the Steel City Underground Podcast. With training camp around the corner, there’s certainly news about players – such as Diontae Johnson and his impending contract situation. But aside from that tidbit, the hosts jump to the bigger news of the weekend, as Heinz Field will no longer be known as Heinz Field! With a new sponsor already...

Joe returns on this short holiday week with some new, fun things to talk about on the latest SCU Steelers Podcast. He covers what games stand out on the Steelers 2022 schedule, including on personal bucket list item as well as some other relevant storylines we may be seeing throughout the season. Questions or Comments? Call the Steel City Underground Fan Line and have your question played on our p...

Brian rejoins Joe to start digging into who is in danger on the Steelers roster this upcoming season. There are a number of players who are operating under short contracts, but are all of those athletes in jeopardy? And is every member that's on the proverbial "hot seat" someone who suits up on Sundays? Or are some coaches in the crosshairs as well? Take a trip as Brian joins us from halfway aroun...

Joe and Zac start your Steelers week off right with some random news and notes from around the National Football League before finishing off their position group previews by adding to the Minkah Fitzpatrick contract talk last week with a cursory look at the remainder of Pittsburgh's secondary. The Steelers return Cameron Sutton and Ahkello Witherspoon as cornerbacks, but also signed Buffalo Bills...

Joe and Zac return from the Happiest Place on Earth to bring you some similar happy Steelers stories. New Steelers GM Omar Khan started making a splash last week, making Minkah Fitzpatrick the NFL's highest-paid safety. Then he doubled-down by adding a veteran defensive tackle, Larry Ogunjobi, on a one-year deal. The hosts discuss how both moves impact Pittsburgh, as well as if any other signings...

Joe and Brian boomerang back around to another preseason Pittsburgh Steelers position group preview (say that three times fast) as the hosts look at the offensive linemen. Last season was a mess for the Steelers offensive line, namely because injuries and expectations failed heading into training camp. That carried into a lack of continuity during the regular season as well. But did the organizati...

Joe and Zac return to continue SCU's coverage of the Pittsburgh Steelers offseason with some random news and notes, as well as an overview on the remaining skill position players. Last year the Steelers were criticized for using a first round pick on a running back and also passing on offensive line to secure one of the NFL Draft's top tight ends. How might that decision factor into what transpire...

Noah Freeman joins the show as he plays backup to Joe's thoughts about the Steelers current quarterback competition. Most folks see this as a one or two horse race. However, Noah is also in the camp of "don't give up on Mason Rudolph" as the duo explains that Pittsburgh's search to replace Ben Roethlisberger is a lot more even at this time than many think. While Mitchell Trubisky could be the Week...

Joe Kuzma flies solo on a new edition of "No Content June" as he takes a premature look at predicting the Steelers end-of-Summer cuts to trim their current 90-player roster down to 53. This season's edition of the "Way Too Early" roster predictions is a bit more difficult. As Joe explains, there's a lot of names at different positions, but only so many slots available. Who makes the proverbial cut...
