Steelers Central

In this episode of Steelers Central, It was reported that Russ and OC Arthur Smith had a "rocky relationship," and Russ had to be convinced to buy into his system of offense. Why this should immediately make Fields the favorite to return to the team next year? Also, what hypothetical changes would the team have to make outside of the obvious of firing Tomlin to get fans more optimistic for next year?

In this episode of Steelers Central, we'll examine the butt-whooping the Ravens handed the Steelers on Saturday night. The team ended the season, losing five straight games and yet again with another lackluster playoff performance. It is time for the Steelers to look themselves in the mirror and start having some uncomfortable conversations. Justin Fields should be the starting QB next year. There needs to be changes to the coaching staff, including Mike Tomlin, but that does not seem like an option. The team needs to spend big at several big positions in free agency and possibly trade star players like TJ Watt, Minkah, and George Pickens?

In this Steelers Central episode, I analyze why Russell Wilson has struggled during their four-game losing streak and what teams have done to cause them problems. What can Arthur Smith do to help this offense and break some of their tendencies? I'll also get into the Steelers' last 7-years in mediocrity, how similar these years have ended, and why Mike Tomlin deserves some more heat in the national media for these failures! Lastly, why I think the Steelers can keep this close and make this playoff game close vs. an explosive Ravens offense.

In this episode of Steelers Central, I break down the Steelers' fourth consecutive loss as the team continues its downward spiral toward a 5th consecutive playoff loss. Next, I discuss what the team could do to look like a semi-competent offense and inject some life into this dead team. Yes, that does include a QB switch since the Russell Wilson honeymoon appears to be over. Lastly, the X-Factors in this game against Baltimore and what this team needs to do to keep their slim chance at a win alive.

The team now faces the 14-1 Kansas City Chiefs with some reinforcements on the way for the Steelers to put another blemish on the Chiefs' record, and why I think this game will be closer than people think.

On this episode of Steelers Central, I break down the utter domination that took place Sunday in Philadelphia and look at some of the team's studs and duds in their fourth loss. Next, I explain why this loss shouldn't come as a surprise, given that the team is not a Super Bowl contender, and fans need to accept that. Lastly, I explain why this is a must-win for the Steelers and what the road to a victory would look like on Saturday.

On this episode of Steelers Central, I break down the get-right game vs the Browns to get the Steelers to a 2-game lead in the AFC North with four games to go, but not without a challenging schedule and a key injury to finish the year. George Pickens has a grade-2 hamstring strain that could keep him out for multiple weeks, as he is doubtful for this weekend's game against the Eagles. I analyze how the Steelers could counteract this and what players must step up in this absence. Lastly, what the Steelers must do to win in Philadelphia for the first time since 1965, and how some off-the-field drama could play in their favor!

On this episode of Steelers Central, I break down the team's most impressive offensive output since 2018 and how this shows they are different from past years. Russ has a blast from the past 414-yard 3 TD performance that boosted the team into the top 10 scoring offenses. Should the fans be worried about the Steelers defense? Also, I give my thoughts on Pickens and Porter's penalty issues that cost the team on both sides of the ball. Lastly, I will provide my prediction on the Steelers vs Browns game this week and explain why the play of TJ Watt and Myles Garret could decide who wins this game on Sunday! Stay tuned for an action-packed episode of Steelers Central.

On this episode of Steelers Central, I break down the disappointing loss to the Cleveland Browns as the team fell to 3-3 against teams below .500. In a game defined by coaching mishaps and terrible play calling, I give my studs and duds for the week. Few guys gave stud-worthy performances. Lastly, I think the Steelers must bounce back this week against a Bengals team with an explosive offense but a porous defense.
