"Bleav in Steelers" hosts Ike Taylor and Mark Bergin discuss how the Pittsburgh Steelers are leading the AFC North division through the first five weeks of the season.
The guys share their observations from the Steelers' 17-10 win against the Baltimore Ravens. Bergin credits Rodney Williams who stood out on special teams in the Steelers' win.
Taylor and Bergin discuss whether the Steelers should start rookie cornerback Joey Porter Jr., whose interception helped propel the Steelers to a comeback win.
Also, the guys talk about the impact Diontae Johnson should have on the team's offense. Johnson is due to return on Oct. 22 against the Los Angeles Rams.
Taylor and Bergin also discuss the performance of running backs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren.
Bergin also questions why John Harbaugh went for it on fourth down late in the second quarter instead of kicking a field goal to try to go up 10 points.
Bergin also wonders why the Steelers only had 10 players on the field during an illegal formation penalty late in the fourth quarter. The penalty gave Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense the ball back with 49 seconds left instead of about 10.
The guys also share why T.J. Watt is the NFL's best defensive player. Through the first five weeks of the season, Watt leads the NFL in sacks with eight.
Last, the guys discuss the legacy of James Harrison, who says he does not deserve to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame. They debate whether the better pass-rushing duo is Harrison and LaMarr Woodley or Watt and Alex Highsmith.
