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? How did his connection with receivers including DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin III, Roman Wilson, Darnell Washington, Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth look? 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?
