On their weekly Penn State football podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Nittany LIons insider Isaiah Maldonado take stock of the Penn State coaching search with a primetime game against coach Matt Rhule and Nebraska looming this week.

Is Rhule still a live option to return to his alma mater? Despite an extension signed with the Cornhuskers within the last few weeks, and a lousy career record against nationally ranked competition? Will James Franklin potentially cause problems for whomever is the next Penn State coach now that his hiring at Virginia Tech is official? Is Terry Smith forcing his way into the conversation with the team's improved play and his emotional investment in the program that went viral this week? And where do names like Kalen DeBoer and Brian Daboll fit into the conversation?

Our duo tackles those topics, plus the game this week. Should Penn State be favored so heavily at home? Will Dani Dennis-Sutton, Ethan Grunkemeyer, Zakee Wheatley and the Lions still be motivated after delivering Smith's first win? And how good are Kaytron Allen's chances to break Evan Royster's career rushing record?

Our duo tackles those questions then talks defensive backs. Is Joey Porter Jr. underrated because of his penalties? How have coach Mike Tomlin's adjustments in the secondary helped him? Do up-and-coming teammates like Kyle Dugger, James Pierre and Brandin Echols have staying power? And what does Jalen Ramsey offer at safety that's different from what the Steelers have deployed at that position in the recent past?

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Noah Hiles welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to ponder the Steelers' decision to trade WR George Pickens in the offseason.

Should GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin have regret about the move, given Pickens' impressive production with the Cowboys? How good would he look next to DK Metcalf and ahead of names like Calvin Austin III and Roman Wilson on the depth chart? How would he be meshing with QB Aaron Rodgers? And are the Steelers better off without the attitude headaches Pickens caused at times while in Pittsburgh?

Our duo tackles those questions, then talks tight ends. How did Darnell Washington ascend into being the top option for the Steelers at the position? Especially with Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth making big money in 2025? And can he keep up this level of production as teams become more aware of him as an option within OC Arthur Smith's system?

Can Mason Rudolph handle the job of starting QB for OC Arthur Smith if he's forced to play more amid Aaron Rodgers' injury?

And what's the latest we know about Rodgers' injury that kept him out of the second half Sunday?

Our duo tackles those questions, then pivots to the defense. Has coach Mike Tomlin solved the unit's biggest problem? Why were Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr., Kyle Dugger and James Pierre able to have so much success against Joe Flacco, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins compared to a month ago, when that trio dominated the defense in Cincinnati? And how did good work on the back end help guys up front including T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Nick Herbig, Keeanu Benton and others?
