Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Steelers Hangover: QUEEN FOR A DAY! Patrick Queen Shines as Steelers Beat Saints 16-10 in Paris
Q: What team in the AFC do you fear the most at this point?
The hosts disagree: Tate and Daniel say no AFC team particularly scares them, while Shannon says teams with strong quarterbacks and competent coaching could exploit Pittsburgh's soft coverage.
Let's Ride: Know Your Steelers Enemy, Week 8 vs. the Browns
Q: Do you see a problem with our secondary or basically the scheme as there's always a few chunk plays lately? Every corner in their lifetime has played some sort of man coverage. Do you think we should be playing more of it?
Hartman says the Steelers tailor their defensive approach to their available personnel, using zone schemes when their corners are better suited to them. He would like to see more man-coverage concepts as the season progresses.
Let's Ride: Know Your Steelers Enemy, Week 8 vs. the Browns
Q: Do the coach and quarterback's egos get in the way to force a passing game that may be flawed to spite the run game?
Hartman thinks it could happen but does not expect it. He believes Aaron Rodgers recognizes that running the ball may be the Steelers' best path to winning at this stage of his career.
Let's Ride: Steelers Keys to Victory vs. the Browns, Week 8
Q: What exactly are you thinking as it pertains to offensive keys to victory?
Smith says DK Metcalf and Jeremy Bernard need to beat coverage, Aaron Rodgers must recognize openings, and the offensive line and running game must control the line of scrimmage. Pittsburgh should avoid third-and-long by staying ahead of the chains.
Let's Ride: Steelers Keys to Victory vs. the Browns, Week 8
Q: If you were drawing up a plan to try and really stymie this Browns offense, what does that look like?
Smith says the Steelers could pressure Deshaun Watson more than they have so far, while using safety Deshaun Elliott's return to help stabilize the secondary and allow more creativity in coverage.
