Pittsburgh Steelers Podcast | Steel City Underground

Co-host Ron Lippock (Pittsburgh Sports Daily Bulletin) joins today’s program along with special guest, former Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Carlos Emmons.

Emmons goes into detail about the business side of his 11 seasons in the NFL, including the trials, tribulations, and harsh realities of making an active roster: more so as a seventh-round draft choice trying to “make it” which compares favorably with some current Pittsburgh Steelers in the same situation.

Today Joe and Brian discuss what “football in shorts” means, as many fans, analysts, and everyone in-between attempt to breakdown OTA sessions which are nothing much more than drills.

In that aspect, the duo will also discuss a potential opening week depth chart for the Steelers offense, under the guise of it being “a guess”.

Be prepared: a good deal of the commentary flies into tin foil hat territory and could bring spark some interesting debate across Steelers Nation! Don’t say we didn’t warn you: being objective and optimistic at the same time isn’t easy!

Brian digs into a topic brought up last week at SCU: if there were a Mount Rushmore for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who would you put on it?

The idea sparked quite the debate between our writers and others across social media. However, Brian believes you can’t simply limit such a monument to only four players… and we did try to limit it to only players, but there are others who are also deserving.

Today we have a treat for Steelers Nation as we welcome special guest, Pittsburgh Steelers seventh-round draft pick Keion Adams to the show.

Keion shares some stories with us, including what it’s like around his new teammates, who his mentor(s) and “big brother” are, how playing at Western Michigan prepared him for Pittsburgh, and how the college game differs from the pros.

Ladarius Green is gone and now it appears the Steelers tight end depth chart is lacking depth.

Or is it?

Joe returns to talk about potential suitors at the position, as well as some other random thoughts concerning the start of OTAs.

The ultimate goal of any team is to win the Lombardi trophy. However, teams can sometimes be better set up to achieve those goals based on a myriad of variables.

Brian Roach returns today to tell Steelers Nation why Pittsburgh’s window of opportunity may be as wide open as it will ever be.

Why did you draft a long snapper? Where’s the number two receiver? Why can’t the Steelers play man coverage? Or get after the opposing quarterback?

It’s not as if the organization doesn’t have answers to these, and other, questions. Usually it’s a matter of Pittsburgh’s best laid plans going to waste.

Today Joe returns to talk about how some of those intentions have been spoiled through a myriad of circumstances.

Nathaniel Bodnar takes over the latest edition of the Steel City Underground podcast with his takes on two rookies who will have the biggest impact for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2017.

Which two rookies are they?

You’ll have to tune in to find out, but let’s just say one rhymes with “hot”!

It’s a bit of a potpourri show!

Brian Roach has returned from NFL Draft burnout to break down some of the Pittsburgh Steelers moves over the last week.

Some of those moves barely made headlines: Brian will discuss why the changes may be bigger than the attention they received, while also talking about several of Pittsburgh’s rookies and how they could fit into the team’s plans for the 2017 season.

Terry Fletcher has finally returned to the Steel City Underground Podcast to join Joe Kuzma, as the two share some stories which have developed since they last met.

And since they last met a major event occurred in the NFL: the 2017 NFL Draft!

Though there are a few other stories that’ll make you say “WTF” the primary focus of this show in the draft, which gave everyone plenty of reasons to say those three letters in unison!
