Last of the Killer Bees
You have over time become my favorite Steelers Podcast. Loved that you acknowledged Chris Boswell’s contribution to our last Playoff win, along with his status being the only current Steeler player with claim to that fame.
I used to get upset when the “Killer Bee” status was only attributed to Ben, Brown and Bell.
What about the great Defensive lineman that Cam Heyward replaced?
BRETT KEISEL? He recovered Lamar Woodley’s forced fumble to seal the win in Super Bowl 43.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can't run, can't win

Q: What are your thoughts on Tomlin's offensive tendencies and the middle of the field?

I think the middle of the field is getting more play than in the past, with quarterbacks trusted to throw through traffic and receivers involved in routes they weren't running earlier. It marks a shift from a stiff, run-first approach to a more diversified passing game that can still support a Power Run when the front is set up. The real test is whether the run game can be effective with less mobile quarterback play and how coaching adapts to maximize both run and pass options.

Let's get physical

Q: Today's J1Q comes from Matthew, who says, DK, I remember hearing that in the past, the big issue with Broderick Jones' struggles transitioning to the NFL was that he was used to being able to overpower the competition, so he didn't have to rely on technique as much.

The host explains that Broderick Jones needs to adjust by embracing NFL-level technique, with focus on footwork, engagement angles, and a steady commitment to technical fundamentals rather than relying on sheer strength.

My greatest worry

Q: Do you think that there's the possibility of moving on from a star like TJ Watt under Mike McCarthy?

The host argues that TJ Watt won't be traded and that the team values its three-edge-rusher setup, expecting him to be part of the plan while maintaining loyalty and big-dollar investments in the pass rush.

Running back hierarchy?

Q: Today's J1Q comes from Dan Kleppel in Atlanta. He says, DK, I get the subtle difference between your actual reporting of the quarterback competition in the spring, and what Mike McCarthy had to say on the matter earlier this week. Do you think that's the gamble they're willing to take if some team wants to put him on their 53 after limited snaps in three preseason games?

The host discusses how the team's plan may involve exposing Will Howard to the ones in preseason to gauge his development, but emphasizes that the real decision will come from how Howard performs and how the coaching staff values his future potential, rather than any scripted preseason role.

Tackle-free camp? Sure!

Q: Is there any risk to players or the season with a reduced tackling approach in practice?

The host explains that while live tackling is reduced in practice, players will still be tackled in games, and drills will focus on safer techniques to maintain performance without increasing injury risk.
