September 02, 2020 Steelers, finally in-sync on both sides of the ball, are poised to shock the NFL
For the Steelers, it’s long been a frustrating tale of two units -- offense and defense. During the best of times for the offense, the defense was in tatters and full of holes. Swiss cheese, instead of the Steel Curtain. When the defense shined last season, the offense crumbled, along with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger’s throwing elbow. But for the first time in a long time, both sides of the football appear to be in nearly top form for the 2020 season. I give you all the best reasons why the 2020 Steelers could be far greater than the sum of its parts, overperforming all expectations, in this edition of the Steelers Update Podcast. I also explain why it could be now or never for this group of Steelers. A shrinking NFL salary cap for 2021 – another casualty of the coronavirus – could see to that. But for now, it could be one shining season for your Steelers. What a gift at what time. When we all need it. Pittsburgh would revel in it after years of uncharacteristic disappointments from their beloved football team. A truly special – and highly unusual -- season awaits. Enjoy it, Steelers fans!

August 26, 2020 Steelers Chase Claypool vaults to top of NFL rookie receivers - can he stay there?
Notre Dame receiver Chase Claypool became the Steelers top draft pick in 2020. Yet, he was the 11th receiver taken off the board, as the Steelers lacked a first-round selection. No matter. Claypool has quickly become the most highly touted rookie receiver going into the 2020 season. But it’s one thing making acrobatic catches in practice. Can Claypool do it in regular season? And come December, will Claypool still be standing head-and-shoulders above all those other receivers in his 2020 draft class? I give you all the national NFL praise being heaped upon Claypool – along with a very intelligent take on why his impact as a rookie could be limited – in this Dog Days edition of the Steelers Update podcast. Plus, I debunk another national media knock against Ben Roethlisberger and shine a light on the other Steelers rookie who just might be a star on defense. So listen up, Steelers fans!

August 19, 2020 Chase Claypool shines, Big Ben’s throwing motion’s off; Eric Ebron hates blocking: Steelers’ training camp top takes
Finally, the 2020 Steelers training camp at Heinz Field is starting to resemble an actual training camp. This week, players put on the pads, and the organization allowed the media inside to get a closer -- but not too close -- look at players from Big Ben Roethlisberger and his surgically repaired throwing elbow to irrelevant rookies who may or may not make a mark in this coronavirus-canceled NFL preseason. With the sharp eyes of plenty of Steelers’ scribes watching, the top observations from are coming fast and furiously. As always, there’s the good, the bad, the ugly and in this case -- the really, really ugly. I cover it all – and fill in every detail – as I survey the most intelligent takes from the most astute Steelers’ analysts in this jam-packed edition of the Steelers Update Podcast. PS: Do not miss the growing concerns about Big Ben’s seemingly altered throwing motion, especially on deep throws. It could portend big problems in Pittsburgh this season. Ouch!

August 12, 2020 Steelers’ Minkah Fitzpatrick has sights on Ed Reed, Troy Polamalu & Brian Dawkins: ‘That’s the standard’
My, how times of changed for the suddenly shark-like Steelers secondary. Once a pathetic Pittsburgh weakness, it’s now a fast-rising strength that should strike fear in the hearts of opposing quarterbacks. The clear catalyst was the trade last September to acquire Minkah Fitzpatrick from the Miami Dolphins. Now, Minkah’s talking about ranking with the great safeties of the past decade or so: “The Ed Reeds and the Polamalus and the Brian Dawkinses of the game,” as Fitzpatrick himself says. But that’s just for starters. The 2020 unit shapes up as the team’s best in years, one long-time Steelers beat reporter writes. It boasts two Pro Bowlers last season in cornerback Joe Haden and Fitzpatrick, and cornerback Steven Nelson is bucking to be the third this year. Minkah will move around much more, helping his counterpart, Terrell Edmunds, as he enters his third season. Finally, depth, especially at cornerback, is much improved. It all spells shutdown for opposing offenses, with quarterbacks quaking in their Nikes. Much more on the rise of the secondary, plus a wide-ranging Steelers Grab Bag, in this edition of the Steelers Update Podcast. So listen up, Steelers fans!

August 05, 2020 Lighter, better Ben Roethlisberger bucking for new Steelers contract: ‘years left in me’
Steelers Nation, meet the new boss; same as the old boss. That being quarterback Big Ben Roethlisberger, who says he’s back and better than ever. In a training camp interview, Ben proclaimed his surgically repaired elbow is the best it’s been in years; he’s lighter than he’s been in some 14 seasons; and feels he has years left to his NFL career. So much so, there’s now a real bottom line business concern for the Steelers: Namely re-signing this suddenly young-again Steelers QB for the future beyond 2021. No wonder GM Kevin Colbert passed on drafting a young arm in 2020. Ben could be at the helm for several stellar Steelers seasons to come -- but he’s yet to take a hit in an actual NFL game. So there’s that. Is Steelers Nation getting fooled again by a 38-year-old QB who didn’t last two full games last season? I give you all the best Big Ben takes in this edition of the Steelers Update Podcast.

July 29, 2020 Juju Smith-Schuster’s skin-tight unitard dance on TikTok shocks Steelers Nation
Whether it’s Juju Smith-Schuster’s skin-tight unitard dance on the China-owned social media app, TikTok, or Zach Banner’s unexpected Twitter blowup over Stephon Tuitt’s stand on the National Anthem, the Steelers seem to be sowing division at a time they should be coming together as a team in training camp. This has some long-time Steelers analysts predicting doom and gloom in Pittsburgh. They say the latest social media missteps are proof the Steelers’ locker room remains a big problem. Are they right? Hear all the evidence and plenty of hot takes in this edition of the Steelers Update Podcast, then reach your own conclusion: Are the 2020 Steelers a “clown show” or simply exercising freedom of speech? The answer could make or break the Steelers’ season, which hasn’t even started yet. Wow!

July 22, 2020 Antonio Brown ‘retires’ as greatest Steelers receiver ever, but also most selfish: Here’s why
To black and gold faithful, Antonio Brown stands as the ultimate fool’s gold. All flash, no substance. Plenty of style, but no steel. Stats, but no championships. A big talking, look-at-me player who put self above team. This makes Brown the ultimate failure and biggest disappointment in Steelers franchise history. But there’s another side to this coin – the bad Pittsburgh penny that was Antonio Brown. A cold-eyed assessment of what this unheralded sixth-round pick did with his nine Steelers seasons shows Brown could be the greatest pass catcher Pittsburgh has ever seen – and a sure-fire future Hall of Famer. I give you all the best takes on the still-evolving Antonio Brown reappraisal, plus, all the latest on the Steelers training camp – just 80 players will enter -- as we are just 50 days away from real football. A jam-packed Steelers Update podcast awaits, so listen up!

July 15, 2020 Steelers’ T.J. Watt dissed in ‘Madden ‘21’ ratings, while JuJu Smith-Schuster shines: Upside-down?
Steelers Nation is in an uproar in wake of the new ‘Madden ‘21’ video game ratings that seem to diss one of their superstars, while hinting at a big comeback for a fan favorite.
Is this simply the tale of two computer game ratings that won’t really matter much once the real season begins? Or a prescient prediction of things to come in 2020 – namely a reversal of Steelers fortunes with the Ben Roethlisberger-led offense flying high again and the defense and its lack of depth taking a significant step back this coming season? Video game rating rage gives rise to some actual substantive analysis that up may be down for the 2020 Steelers. I round up all the best takes on outstanding outside lineback T.J. Watt; possible come-back player of the year, JuJu Smith-Schuster, who could still be heading out of Pittsburgh regardless – and which until will be better – offense or defense – in this prediction packed edition of the Steelers Update Podcast. So listen up, Steelers fans!

July 08, 2020 Would the Steelers ever pay Patrick Mahomes-type money?
The image of the Steelers as the ultimate NFL misers is a bygone trope that won’t die. The Pittsburgh football team founded for $2,500 by Art Rooney does pony up and pay its stars. They have the salary cap troubles to prove it. But would they ever go as far as the Kansas City Chiefs just did in locking up quarterback Patrick Mahomes to a 10-year extension worth more than $500 million? It’s a dilemma the Steelers surely would like to have. Because to pay Patrick Mahomes money you first must draft and develop a Patrick Mahomes-type player, then surround him with the coaches, scheme and supporting players to shine all the way to a Super Bowl. We explore this and the Ravens’ almost-certain troubles singing Lamar Jackson in wake of all this – plus plenty of Steelers news and a fond revisiting of Three Rivers Stadium in honor of its 50thanniversary – all in this edition of the Steelers Update Podcast.

July 01, 2020 Pittsburgh just shut down its bars, yet Steelers fans plan on attending games this fall: Here’s why
Fans still have faith in seeing live, in-person football in Pittsburgh this fall. That’s why this Steelers season ticket holder plunked down cold, hard cash for 4 season passes, no questions or COVID worries asked. Why? Well, it’s Steelers football. That’s why. I’ve been part of it since the 80s at the old concrete bowl that was Three Rivers Stadium. I always imagined the place as a giant witch’s caldron -- crackling and gurgling with the unmitigated euphoria and unregulated rage of Steelers fans. I loved being part of that potent Pittsburgh Steelers stew, brewed up and boiling over Sunday after Sunday. I shudder to think of the Steelers making plays in utter silence amid an empty, cavernous Heinz Field. It just wouldn’t be the same, not even close. Not even on TV. Here’s why – and how this season might work for fans wanting to attend Steelers games.
