4.7 out of 5 stars from 134 ratings
  • So close to 5 Stars

    Best Steelers podcast. Adam’s audio constantly cutting out and the randomly timed ads are the only negative parts.

  • Best Steelers Pod

    I consume a lot of Steelers content, so trust me when I say that this is the best one (along with Locked On, sorry Smitty).

    All the other podcasts are either too negative, don’t know ball, or are just plain boring. Co-hosts Zachary Smith is funny and knows how to keep a show moving, and Alan Saunders is a ball knower who is with the team everyday. Not to mention we get DB every Friday, one of the best content creators at scouting and scheme.

    It’s a perfect combination.

  • 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.

  • Steelers Fan’s Dream

    Smitty and Alan, I remember when you guys started the show and it felt like it happened so casually. But it’s now become the one Steelers podcast I make sure to never miss. Keep up the great work.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Narratives Wrong About Steelers Defense? | Steelers Afternoon Drive
Q: Who takes over in the jumbo role that Spencer Anderson has been filling if he has to take over at left guard for Sam Allo?
Nick Faribault or Calvin Anderson could fill the role, but the coaching staff has not decided yet.
What Makes a Good Return Man? | Steelers Morning Rush
Q: Why is it that the same guy that does pump returns does not also do kick returns?
Punt returners and kick returners have different athletic requirements; punt returners require shiftiness and quick acceleration, while kick returners benefit from high top speeds and physicality to survive collisions.
Steelers Night Shift Week Eight vs Green Bay Packers
Q: Do you guys think that we are going to make a move for quarterback or safety at the trade deadline?
My instinct says no, but crazier things have happened. I won't say without a shadow of a doubt, no.
Steelers Night Shift Week Eight vs Green Bay Packers
Q: With the Steelers spending a lot of money on defense and mixed results at best, why not make a big splash at wide receiver if it presents itself?
They won't. I am somewhat skeptical of it presenting itself. I don't know what's out there that you would call a big splash. Maybe Jalen Waddle. I don't think he'll be traded.
Breiden Fehoko Joins the Show! | Steelers Afternoon Drive
Q: Is coaching something you think you would pursue someday?
I'm not ready to commit my time to coaching yet, even though I've had offers.
