Episode 33 of the Steelers Sanctuary Podcast is out!  Yes it’s another Steelers postmortem, these are becoming all too familiar at this point.  After a 38-3 loss to the Buffalo Bills, no one is safe from our scorn. We pay particular attention to this coaching staff which had yet another bad day at the office.  Neither coordinator is getting it done at this point.  David and I discuss what, if any,...

Episode 30 is out after a discouraging loss to the New York Jets.  It may be time to read this team its last rights after a 1-3 start. On the bright side, Kenny Pickett saw his first game action.  He played well in the second half giving this team some hope for the future. The defense however had another 4th quarter collapse.  Dave R goes on an epic rant about the defense, and the play calling.  Y...

Episode 27 of the Steelers Sanctuary Podcast is out.   Dave and I do not hold back on another terrible Steelers performance. We start off with this anemic offense.  It’s seems clear to everyone but the Steelers that significant changes are needed.  Starting at quarterback, and finishing at coordinator this was truly a team effort of futility. Unfortunately the defense wasn’t much better.  The Stee...

That leads to the next topic of how bad Tomlin has been choosing coordinators.  We review all the coordinators he has chosen, and how they have been below aver...

Episode 25 of the Steelers Sanctuary Podcast comes at you just hours after the Steelers loss to the New England Patriots.   Lots to talk about on offense, and it’s all bad.  We try to get to the bottom of why this offense is so awful.  Is it Canada, is it Trubisky, or a combination of both?  We give some pretty damning stats on the Matt Canada system after just a little over a year.   On defense n...

Episode 24 of the Steelers Sanctuary Podcast is out.  We begin with the news that TJWatt being officially put on injured reserve, and what the Steelers can do to make up for the loss of Watt. Next it’s the “Poni of the week” award and this time this honor goes to PFF for their ridiculous top five defensive players of the week list.  Not a single Steeler on this list is ludicrous. After that it’s a...

Episode 21 is out and we start the pod by rehashing the “clerical error” about the Steelers quarterback depth chart.  Mason Rudolph actually is the third string quarterback as most of us thought he would be.  We still believe he will be traded sooner than later. Next we do our preview of tomorrow’s game versus the defending AFC Champion Cincinnati Bengals.  Lots to talk about here, unfortunately n...

Episode 20 is out and this week we have some fun doing 2022 predictions.  David and I try guessing the Steelers 2022 record.  We go through every game on the schedule, and give our assessment on whether  it will be a win or loss for the Steelers.

At the end of the pod,  I go over my thoughts on the roster as a whole.  Que...

Episode 17 starts with a rundown of the Steelers roster cut down to 80.  Some strange choices were made including outside linebacker Genard Avery. This led us to discussing whether or not the Steelers have left themselves short at outside linebacker.  Is Hamilcar Rashed good enough, or is there another move to come?  Next, Dave and I go over the players to watch in the final preseason game.  We ea...

Episode 15 is out, and it’s a preseason game two review.  There was a lot not to like this week.  This game was almost the complete opposite of last week’s win over Seattle.
