Pittsburgh Steelers Podcast | Steel City Underground

Joe and Brian are back to discuss the top three areas that the Pittsburgh Steelers should be most concerned with this offseason. While quarterback talk is all the rage right now, the hosts selections might surprise you: including a rundown of the team’s impending free agents and which ones are most likely to be re-signed, as well as which ones will likely leave town. Questions or Comments? Call th...

Joe and Brian are back to discuss a number of happenings in Steelers Nation over the last week including the hiring of Brian Flores and a hornet’s nest of topics that came out of Kevin Colbert’s recent press conference. It goes without saying that quarterbacks also come up again, with Colbert discussing excitement over Mason Rudolph’s opportunity to Deshaun Watson being linked with the Steelers hi...

Joe returns with a lighter-hearted episode right off of the heels of Super Bowl LVI and Valentine’s Day. The SCU team picked their favorite players, so there’s plenty of love to show – but did you have the same vibes about the Super Bowl, its commercials, and halftime show? Joe breaks down some of these trivial and unimportant topics in an entertaining episode to officially open up the NFL’s offse...

The band is back together, as Brian hops aboard the latest episode to join Joe in discussing several of the Steelers topics covered during his absence. Chief among these topics is Ben Roethlisberger's replacement, which continues to be a hot storyline which doesn't appear to be dying down anytime soon. Brian fills in some of the blanks from Joe's recent takes and offers some of his own suggestions...

Joe returns with an early free agent edition of the SCU Podcast, covering all of the Steelers players with currently expiring contracts. In the business that is football, every free agent can’t be re-signed. However, there are some who are also replaceable. Joe talks about his highest priorities among this year’s expiring contracts, and which players may be expendable too. Questions or Comments? C...

Joe returns with another rant about the Steelers future at the quarterback position, this time with more details about the Steelers current options and why they should stick with them! Yes, everyone groans about Mason Rudolph or Dwayne Haskins: but have they been given a fair shot yet? And why do people believe another team's failed project will instantly have success in the Steel City? Some of th...

Joe has tracked down Brian to talk about another series of Steelers offseason stories, beginning with a number of retirements rippling through the NFL. The hosts also discuss bad Steelers takes from local media, Mike Tomlin’s coaching tree, and the Cincinnati Bengals playoff run, while Brian shares some extra thoughts about potential suitors to Ben Roethlisberger’s throne. Questions or Comments? C...

It’s been a crazy month Steelers Nation. From Ben Roethlisberger’s farewell at Heinz Field, to the Steelers making the postseason – and exiting early – it’s been a rollercoaster ride for fans. The thrills continue as every single person or entity with an opinion has speculated about Big Ben’s successor, including players who aren’t even available as free agents. Joe covers who is available, who co...

Joe and Brian are back after the dust has settled from the entire NFL Super Wild Card Weekend, as well as any fallout from Mike Tomlin’s Tuesday press conference. The duo talks about some of the high expectations fans had at Kansas City and why that was unrealistic. They also take a top-to-bottom overview on how this season panned out and explain how this was far from a failure for a team that cou...

The latest SCU Podcast breaks down the unlikely 7th seeded Pittsburgh Steelers traveling back to Kansas City to face a Chiefs team that walloped them back in Week 16 of the regular season. Could things be different this time around? Joe Kuzma is joined by former Chiefs OL Joe Valerio, who has some stories of legend that correlate to the present day – including some insight into Sunday night's game...

The final game of the NFL’s newly expanded 17-game regular season took hold with a primetime showcase in Las Vegas between two division rivals: and touted as a “win and in” scenario that almost ended up with a “kiss your sister” dynamic instead. Sunday Night Football featured a contest between the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers which nearly witnessed a miracle that would have shuffled...

Joe and Brian are practically brainless after lasting through not one, but two overtime games in order to see if the Steelers would make the postseason – and they did! Ben Roethlisberger gets one last ride as Pittsburgh sweeps Baltimore (and Cleveland) this season. The hosts breakdown how the Steelers outlasted the Ravens and what else may lie ahead in the coming days. Questions or Comments? Call...

In the next-to-last week of the 2021 regular season, Steelers Nation shed tears alongside Ben Roethlisberger during his potentially final game at Heinz Field. Antonio Brown once again made headlines – and not for his play, rather, lack thereof. And the Bengals took care of business at home against the Chiefs to win the AFC North. However, Week 17 was all about Big Ben and Pittsburgh’s outside shot...

Joe and Brian are back. This time the hosts are doubling up on a short week, covering the aftermath of the Steelers big win – and Ben Roethlisberger's send-off – against the Browns, as well as looking ahead to Sunday's matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. The Steelers aren't out of playoff contention yet, but they do need a miracle to help them get into the postseason. Plus, T.J. Watt's overwhelming...

The sense of reality and urgency seems to be lost on teams that have the tools to win, but continue to live in an alternate reality once they get into scoring position. The reality of Week 16 was lost on many teams trying to knock on the playoff door. Listen as Terry Fletcher explains who is, and isn't, living in a fantasy land. Questions or Comments? Call the Steel City Underground Fan Line and h...

Joe and Brian are exhausted. In fact, they’re “too old for this stuff!” (To quote a famous movie line!) Mike Tomlin, Kevin Colbert, the Steelers offensive line, Adrian Klemm and yes, even a preview of Monday Night’s upcoming game against the Cleveland Browns are jam-packed into this special year-end episode. There’s a lot to digest here, including what could be Ben Roethlisberger’s final home game...

**** FIXED AUDIO *** It wasn’t a Hallmark Movie ending for Pittsburgh in Kansas City, but Joe and Brian didn’t expect much to begin with as the Steelers fell to the Chiefs 36-10. However, that doesn’t mean the game wasn’t even more disappointing – but is it an indication that the Steelers season is over? The hosts explore this topic and a plethora of others (including Brian’s impending house arres...

It wasn’t a Hallmark Movie ending for Pittsburgh in Kansas City, but Joe and Brian didn’t expect much to begin with as the Steelers fell to the Chiefs 36-10. However, that doesn’t mean the game wasn’t even more disappointing – but is it an indication that the Steelers season is over? The hosts explore this topic and a plethora of others (including Brian’s impending house arrest) and ask some quest...

Joe and Brian are back to bring you good tidings heading into the holidays by starting with the most important one of them all: Festivus! Yes, there are airings of grievances, including some against Melvin Ingram (who jumped ship from Pittsburgh to Kansas City) but also retracted ones as well, with Pressley Harvin. The duo previews the upcoming road trip for the Steelers playing at Arrowhead again...

In Week 15 of the NFL, there has been a similar trend of Week 14 with coaches going for it on 4th down in the red zone or not taking an extra point to tie a game and go into OT. What The Football? (WTF!) The Ravens passed on a field goal attempt to come away with zero points, and then mind-bogglingly went for it all with a two-point attempt that ultimately cost them their second game in two weeks:...

Noah Freeman joins Joe Kuzma to review the aftermath of the Pittsburgh Steelers 19-13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. While the Steelers offense never truly got going on Sunday, the defense did the unthinkable, pitching a second-half shutout and forcing four turnovers… largely in part to having all of their big guns back, such as Joe Haden. Some other schematic changes helped Pittsburgh’s defen...

There’s still a subset of fans upset about not drafting Dan Marino. Yes, we’re talking 30-some odd years ago, and only now because for the last five years, they’ve wanted the Steelers to draft a quarterback in the first round to replace Ben Roethlisberger. As usual, Joe Kuzma hops on the horn to talk (yet again) why first round picks are ill-advised, and to point out why the Steelers have only use...

Joe returns after a mini-bye hiatus to talk Titans with Davey Hudson, Executive Producer of 3&OUT, FOX Sports Knoxville, WKGN 1340 105.7, and the BLEAV in Titans podcast. Believe it or not, the Steelers and Titans share a lot in common, including some former players as well as playoff contention outcomes over the years. Tune in for some updates on Sunday's game and how the outcome could affect bot...

In week 14 of the WTF podcast, Terry discusses the Raiders of the Lost Ark in Vegas. But there’s also some going’s on in Jacksonville, who fired their first-year head coach Urban Meyer. (Is kicking a kicker really motivational? I don't think so!) The Buffalo Bills continue to struggle with their ground game, and the AFC is wide-open too, mainly because COVID in on the warpath again leading into We...

It was a tough one Steelers Nation… but they sure did make it interesting! After surrendering 29 points to the Minnesota Vikings, and a career day to their returning running back Dalvin Cook, the Steelers somehow got to within eight points near the end of the game, with its final play still leaving the result in the balance. Joe and Brian are up late to cover this one, which had enough bizarre mom...
