We heard the first comments from Dan Muse today as he was introduced as the Penguins new head coach. The guys feel like the Penguins have an actual direction, which is refreshing. This team feels like they are ready to rebuild and not waste their time biting at the apple they can’t get. The guys think the Steelers can take a play out of that book since they refuse to build for the future. That’s a franchise that is building a team to finish 11-8, not to win a championship. Is it hard for fans, in the heat of the moment, want the team to actually be bad for a minute?

Poni kept harping on how bad he thinks the Steelers will be with Aaron Rodgers. What is their ceiling?

Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. Which first season do you think Dan Muse and Kyle Dubas would want – finishing so bad you have a shot at a generational player or backing your way into the playoffs with no shot to win it all? Tyler talked about the challenge of bringing in players when you miss the playoffs for a bit. TK said it’s clear where the Penguins are at and it’s not being a contender. He did admit he thinks the Penguins aren’t super far away from making the playoffs. TK labeled this past season as a ‘tough year,’ but doesn’t think all hope is lost. Tyler would love if the Penguins added Sam Bennett as their big splash. TK thinks there needs to be more respect for Kris Letang. Tyler said there are still some heavy voices in the locker room.
