  • Great Steelers Pod

    This would be a 5 star review if you guys could fix Alan’s audio issues. One of the few places you can get accurate info on the Steelers with out a bunch of excessive opinion. And the opinion you do get is well reasoned, and not just click bait.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Expecting More out of DK Metcalf? | Steelers Morning Rush
Q: What's the word on DK so far?
He has the most targets on the team but lacks deep connections and is facing double coverage.
Expecting More out of DK Metcalf? | Steelers Morning Rush
Q: Has Metcalf always had issues with his drops or is this new?
He has dropped a higher percentage of his catches this season, compared to previous seasons.
Communication the Problem Again? | Steelers Afternoon Drive
Q: Alan, what is the routine at away games? Do you walk the field pregame?
As print writers, we are not permitted on the field before or during a game, so I don't walk the field.
Do Steelers Need a True Nose Tackle? | Steelers Morning Rush
Q: What are your thoughts on the current defensive strategy regarding nose tackles?
The current defensive alignment has shifted towards a 5-2 setup, reducing the need for traditional nose tackles who can only play that position.
Do Steelers Need a True Nose Tackle? | Steelers Morning Rush
Q: Hey guys, I understand the Steelers like pass rushing alignment, but don't you think it's worth a roster spot to have a Casey Hampton type on the bench?
The utility of a nose tackle is pretty diminished... I think it becomes really difficult to justify week in and week out, the presence, but I think they should probably have one on their practice squad.
