  • 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.

The real identity
Q: Chris, do you think the soft zone tackle to catch defensive schemes that have been pretty effective to date will continue to be effective?
Halleck says the scheme has worked because it limits scoring and helps force opponents to settle for field goals. He expects it to remain effective as the players gain continuity, while noting that Joey Porter Jr.'s absence has required the defense to adapt.
Having fun yet?
Q: Isn't it time we started calling the Six Offensive Lineman Formation, established in Dublin and reformed in Paris, by an appropriate name given the time that we're all viewing back home?
The listener suggests calling it the Continental Breakfast Formation. Kovacevic likes the name and says the Steelers' use of six offensive linemen and their run-heavy approach made sense against a Saints team that struggled to stop the run.
Appreciate Keeanu!
Q: Do you see any concerning parallels between the Steelers 2020 offense under Ben Roethlisberger and this year's under Aaron Rodgers?
Halleck sees limited parallels. Roethlisberger's reduced mobility forced the offense into short passes and predictable formations, while Rodgers still moves in the pocket and attempts deep throws. Dropped passes, receiver availability, separation, and matchup factors have also affected the results. Halleck says the running game may draw defenses toward the box, creating opportunities downfield, but the Steelers need to complete more deep passes.
The case for Downs
Q: Have you been able to observe any of Will Howard or Drew Aller's play in practice since Camp Wrapped? And how do each of them look?
Hallick says media access does not include full team drills, but he has seen both quarterbacks working on focused development sessions with coaches and players. He says they are learning the offense and contributing to game preparation, and could compete for a role next summer if the Steelers do not draft a quarterback in the first round.
Tackle, tackle, tackle!
Q: Why is no one saying the Steelers need another offensive lineman?
Halleck says the line is performing well at preventing pressure, and attributes Aaron Rodgers' high sack total to frequent passing and holding the ball longer. He suggests running more and using quick passes and run-pass options.
