June 10, 2020 How will Steeler fans react to players kneeling during National Anthem in protest of George Floyd’s death?
Colin Kaepernick’s kneeling National Anthem protests now seems prescient. Eight-plus excruciating minutes of video showing a white police officer kneeling on the neck of George Floyd until his heart stopped beating has made it so. It sets up an explosive start to what was already going to be a very unusual football season due to the coronavirus pandemic. It’s a very good bet NFL players, including your Pittsburgh Steelers, will take a knee during the National Anthem this season. The most fitting tribute to the memory of George Floyd and what it means for all of us will be genuine understanding, empathy and acceptance of the players’ point of view. And above all – fundamental policing changes and criminal justice reform so America is America for all. Fittingly, America’s Game will be right in the middle of this significant cultural moment. So will your Pittsburgh Steelers, as it should be. The only question is where will Steelers Nation stand – or kneel?

May 27, 2020 Minkah Fitzpatrick caps un-Steelers-like rebuild on defense; get ready for many happy (Int) returns
The Pittsburgh Steelers spent plenty of draft capital on its defense over the years. But for various reasons, many of those picks didn’t have positive returns. But the team brain trust admitted their drafting deficiencies and made up for them by trading for Minkah Fitzpatrick, signing Joe Haden and Steven Nelson and discovering Mike Hilton – and that’s just the un-Steelers-like renovation in the secondary. Pittsburgh will always prefer home-grown players, but the defense being built by going outside the organization is something special. And in 2020, the rebuilt D should show its strength like never before. I tell you all the reasons why in this prediction-oriented edition of the Steelers Update podcast.

May 20, 2020 Here’s the real reason behind all the Ben Roethlisberger haircut hate
For Big Ben, his bushy Brett Keisel-like beard was a marker of his long recovery from throwing elbow surgery after the second game last season. The fact that Ben’s locks and beard are now nicely trimmed – along so it seems with his body as seen in that slick 38-second video – signals the Steelers’ future Hall of Famer is back. And with everyone from Gov. Tom Wolf on down jumping on Big Ben’s back, Pittsburgh is standing solidly with their star and stalwart passer. In the portion of Pennsylvania known as Steelers Nation, it quickly became Big Ben vs. Big Bad Gov. Wolf. In western Pa. at least, the outcome was no contest.

May 13, 2020 Steelers’ gloom and doom grows: Big Ben’s fat, draft stinks & team’s mediocre
You might want to pop a Prozac, Pittsburgh. There’s mounting gloom and doom swirling around the 2020 Steelers. I’ve rounded up all the recent arguments for why the playoff-starved team will struggle yet again. Unfortunately, it’s all here in this shocking – some would say, treasonous -- edition of the Steelers Update Podcast from PennLive.

May 06, 2020 If Antonio Brown lands with Ravens, should Steelers fans love it or hate it?
Antonio Brown – who’s looking to get back to the NFL on a paying basis anyway he can – would love to flock with the high-flying Ravens. In Pittsburgh, this prospect has spawned two schools of thought. On one side, Steelers fans' nightmares now run with Brown-Ravens highlight reels. This, as the social-media-savvy receiver rubs in every catch and celebrates each touchdown he scores in Charm City. But the other line of thinking smacks of a subtle form of sabotage that could wreck the Ravens and allow the Steelers to flourish. These Pittsburgh fans predict Brown is a cancer – not a catalyst for a championship. They’re convinced Antonio will destroy the Ravens, should John Harbaugh and Company be dumb enough to sign him. So which scenario should Steelers fans believe? And what are the prospects of Brown actually returning to the NFL in Baltimore? I give you all the answers – plus a plethora of Pittsburgh pigskin news and notes – in this edition of the Steelers Update Podcast.

April 29, 2020 Steelers’ draft sets stage for JuJu Smith-Schuster’s exit & Aaron Rodgers’ signing: Here’s why
About the best you can say is the 8-8 Steelers added some special teams players for 2020 and brought in rookies who’ll replace second-tier stars like receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and linebacker Bud Dupree next season. This, so the Steelers have the salary-cap firepower to re-sign true superstars like T.J. Watt and Minkah Fitzpatrick. Still, the Steelers’ odds of returning to the NFL playoffs after a two-year drought did improve markedly. Not due to the draft. Rather, because the NFL playoffs will now include a seventh team from each conference. If this had been the case the past two years, the Steelers would have made the postseason. So there is hope. Just not a lot of comfort after this crapshoot of a draft.

April 22, 2020 Jalen Hurts? Jonathan Taylor? Trading down? Steelers draft moves could surprise, disappoint
Steelers already have their 2020 first round pick in the form of proven playmaking safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. Good thing, too, because this could be the most unpredictable NFL draft of the modern era due to the limitations of the coronavirus. Strap in, Steelers fans. It’s going to be wild. When it’s over, let’s hope the Steelers have one or two really special players who’ll pay some 2020 dividends in playoff starved Pittsburgh. As for who -- I have all the late-breaking Steelers speculation, a last-minute Leonard Fournette trade to Pittsburgh push and even an Antonio Brown mention in this draft edition podcast.

April 15, 2020 Are James Conner’s days -- and carries -- numbered with the Steelers? Draft will tell the tale
Both James Conner and Ben Roethlisberger should be very interested in the Steelers’ upcoming draft. It could just determine the future roles for both offensive stars, should the team spend a premium pick to select their successors. So who will it be for the Steelers at pick 49? Quarterback Jalen Hurts, running backs Jonathan Taylor or J.K. Dobbins – or another position altogether, even defense? We analyze Pittsburgh’s critical draft day dilemma in the latest edition of the Steelers Update Podcast. So listen up!

April 08, 2020 Antonio Brown to Ravens would best Ben Roethlisberger’s new toy, Eric Ebron: Here’s why
Sure, Eric Ebron is nice, new and nifty in his Steelers’ uni. But he’s not nearly enough in today’s pass-happy Patrick Mahomes-dominated NFL. And Steelers fans should find no comfort if Antonio Brown actually flocks with the Ravens this season. Such a deal would signal a measure of comfort by both parties that this will be a successful partnership. Brown knows it’s his last chance – and by joining up with his cousin, he’ll be in a position to be a mentor. In short, it could develop into a full-blown nightmare scenario for long-suffering Steelers fans. They’d be left to watch Brown and the Ravens flourish, while Big Ben takes baby steps from elbow surgery recovery, playing it safe passing to his pair of tight ends. Ouch!

April 01, 2020 Steelers plot draft as Antonio Brown looks done for good
Steelers are finalizing their draft day moves, just as their former star Antonio Brown looks to be out of moves after a former Pittsburgh coach shuts him down cold. I’m talking about current Tampa Bay Head Coach Bruce Arians’ hard pass on pairing Brown with a willing Tom Brady, who was brought in to take over the Bucs’ offense. This stiff-arm from Arians, who covets his offensive toys like no other, is notably damning for the future prospects of Brown ever returning to the NFL. The book on Brown right now is “Steer Clear.” The Steelers wrote the first chapter last year by trading Brown for a third-round pick. What moves will the team make in 2020? One rumor has another name receiver being shopped and shipped out of Pittsburgh for a second-rounder. I give you all the latest right here.
