July 07, 2026 Should Steelers Take More Risks? | Steelers Morning Rush
Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League.
Today, it's the generally risk-adverse nature of the franchise, and whether that's something that should change as the club transitions from Mike Tomlin to Mike McCarthy. The problem with innovation is that at the NFL level, it usually requires some kind of risk to go along with the reward, and the Steelers as a franchise are generally not in a place where they should be assuming the most risks.
But that doesn't mean they can't adopt new lines of thinking, either. Alan breaks it down.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League.
Today, it's why the Steelers have struggled against the top teams in the NFL over the last decade, and if there's hope for Mike McCarthy to be able to reverse the team's fortunes in that regard. Without a franchise quarterback, the team is looking at long odds against the likes of Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. But the Seattle Seahawks in 2025 proved that it's possible.
What does McCarthy need to do that his predecessor Mike Tomlin was unable to when it comes to winning without one of the best at the quarterback position?
