JuJu takes a “team friendly” deal with a one-year, $8 million contract.  It’s not as though he didn’t have options. Out of nowhere we hear that Steven Nelson asked to explore trade options and the Steelers granted the request.  Nelson’s departure compounds the weakening of the secondary with the loss of Mike Hilton. We also talk about other personnel changes that happened this past week:...

The Steelers made a surprise acquisition last year, bringing in Eric Ebron.  In 2017 it was Joe Haden. With little cap space in 2021, can Kevin Colbert work some magic to shore up some glaring weaknesses? What wasn’t a surprise was the signing of BJ Finney . He is a sorely-needed veteran presence for an offensive line that is disappearing before our eyes as Matt Feiler moves to the Chargers i...

We review six draft candidates for the offensive line, focusing on tackles. Sam Cosmi Alex Leatherwood Christian Darrisaw Tevin Jenkins Jalen Mayfield Liam Eichenberg Big Ben is locked and loaded for 2021. How does his new deal help the Steelers? BJ Finney takes a 12 month lap around the NFL. Could he be back in Pittsburgh just in time to shore up this O-line? Looking at Chris Simms’ Top Six QBs i...

PButch is back to talk with us about how the Steelers should approach 2021 and beyond.  Bet the farm on next year?  Create cap space and write off next year? Art Rooney met with Ben on Tuesday and said “Ben assured me that he is committed to coming back to help us win, and I told Ben that we would like to have him back to help us win a championship. We both understand that the next step...

We interpret Kevin Colbert’s GM-speak, "As we sit here today, Ben is a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers.” By March 17 all teams have to meet the salary cap. With an overhang of at least $14 million, what’s the best way for the Steelers to get under the limit? Art Rooney assures us that we’re not in rebuilding mode. What are the chances of the Steelers being competitive next year? COVID constraine...

Pouncey retires having achieved all-pro first team twice and second team three times.  He was selected for the pro bowl nine times and was named to the Hall of Fame All-Decade team.  Will this push Ben to make a different decision?   JJ Watt parts ways with the Texans.  Primanti Brothers said they would  rename themselves “Watt Brothers” if he lands in Pittsburgh. Could hi...

Tom Brady won his seventh Super Bowl ring, surpassing the Steeler's number of Lombardi Trophies. We recorded this session with about 3 minutes left in a championship that could have been used to anesthetize a patient undergoing surgery. Brady had three TD passes and won the MVP. Does Nick NOW believe TB is the GOAT? In some good new for Pittsburgh, Alan Faneca and Bill Nunn took their rightful spo...

We send our condolences to the Rooney family who lost matriarch Patricia - wife of Dan Sr., mother of AR II - who passed away this week at 88. She was another pillar in a family who built and maintained a team with integrity and pride. Ben Roethlisberger: "I don’t care bout my pay at all this year!” With $40m of cap hit kicked down the road until it reached a dead end in 2021, Ben says he want to...

While Vance McDonald’s announces his retirement, Maurkice Pouncey’s situation remains up in the air. What does it mean for Ben’s future when one of his best friends on the team retires and the other is in flux? The coaching ranks are shoring up with Matt Canada being named offensive coordinator and long-tenured tight-ends expert, Alfredo Roberts, taking the reigns over for that position group.&nbs...

There were MAJOR changes in the upper coaching echelon.  One change was long overdue. Another change needs an explanation and the third was a head-scratcher.  Meanwhile the NFL seems to be sniffing around our vaunted front office. HANDS OFF! The Steelers will pick 24th in the 2021 draft. We’ll touch on it during this episode before launching into a deep dive in the coming weeks. From a c...

*Steelers suffer yet another embarrassing, early playoff exit at the hands of a heavy underdog. How, after going down 28-0, and somehow clawing back to within striking distance did they blow it in the end? Did Pouncey’s bad snap and Ben’s ensuing INT render the subsequent collapse inevitable? Why the defensive deference to Baker? Were TJ and Minka in the game?   This game was more of the...

Why was this a de facto victory for the Steelers? Although we dispel the thought of Mason as heir apparent to Ben, we talk about his best performance as a pro and how he fits into the Steeler future. Next men up: McDonald, Wormley, Williamson, Elliott, Rader What to make of this offensive line? Is Ray Ray McCloud regressing? Sideline roughhousing: Carlos Williams & Isaiah Buggs Preview of Stee...

With the Steelers languishing for the better part of three quarters, Ben Roethlisberger places a bomb on the outstretched hands of Diontae Johnson to complete a 39 yard touchdown that sparked a 21 point explosion over the three possessions to overcome what was looking like an insurmountable deficit. The defense was inspired by the offensive awakening, holding the Colts to 3 points and 148 offensiv...

This three game slide has been brutal, not only on our record, but on our high hopes to end on a high note as the Ben Roethlisberger era winds to its inevitable end. BUT, in this episode, we focus on the positives: QB talent is plentiful Young talent still on their first contract We also talk about what the Steelers can do to build for the future. We have levers to pull. Visit the website www.stee...

Game Themes Father Time has Caught Big Ben Offensive line is unrecognizable Anemic offense wears defense down Cincinnati leverages third-string QB  Super Bowl hopes are dashed GAME RECAP 1st Half Complete offensive futility - 40 total yards Better play calling 2nd Half First two drives give hope, but offense fizzles Defense firepower drained as time went on Visit the website www.steelersoutpo...

Game Themes The offense is broken Tomlin denies philosophical issue  Why keep Ben if you have to protect him like this? O-Line horrible & injured Dionte & Ebron still terrible Claypool needs to take next step Not enough explosive players (RB) The defense is phenomenal, but depleted   Offense put them in hole (time of possession) Allen eventually figured out blitzing Too many inju...

We felt this coming. There were too many games that hinged on slash plays beneficial bounces of the ball for us to be comfortable with an undefeated record. The under-rated Washington Football Team dialed in to a depleted, worn-out, predictable Steelers team. Playing 3 games in 12 days, the Steelers showed signs of fatigue. More injuries. MORE dropped passes An almost non-existent run game What ca...
