Pregame Show podcast (9/20)--A full breakdown of the Steelers-Patriots game
Q: If they do use the tush push on someone besides a quarterback, who would be a legitimate candidate?
Jalen Warren would be a logical candidate; he could also be John New Smith or Darnale Washington as they have the size and capability to push the pile forward.
Pregame Show podcast (9/20)--A full breakdown of the Steelers-Patriots game
Q: How do you think Aaron Rodgers is moving right now?
He is moving okay, but at 41 years old, he needs to avoid being under constant pressure behind a struggling offensive line.
Pregame Show podcast (9/20)--A full breakdown of the Steelers-Patriots game
Q: What do you think Mike Tomlin's long-term plans are for the kickoff return position?
I think he has been scared off of Caleb Johnson and realized the importance of kickoff returns this season, needing someone more experienced back there.
Breakfast With Benz podcast (9/17)--Previewing the Patriots
Q: Is second place in the AFC East a realistic goal for the Patriots?
Yes, if they maintain health and get strong performances from their key players, it could be achievable.

Q: How's the defense under Mike Vrabel so far?
The defense has struggled with explosive plays due to the absence of their best player, Christian Gonzalez, but they are adapting to a more aggressive scheme.
