Pickett’s Points – The guys broke down what Kenny Pickett said to the media ahead of Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers. Also, an update on Matt Canada which has good and bad news. 

Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike isn’t agreeing with the national media turning against Mike Tomlin. He said there have been a few times when Tomlin has turned a bad roster into a playoff team. Mike said Tomlin has been dealt a bad team, but the guys questioned how much power he has in that right – Mike doesn’t think it’s as much as people think. “I think Art Rooney II is far more involved in everything than we realize…I don’t think Mike Tomlin has that juice or the power.” He said it’s difficult to tell who is really running the show, but Mike believes Rooney definitely has a lot of say. He said David Tepper would “absolutely” have interest in Tomlin. Mike talked about how things work in the Steelers front office and went back to what happened with guys like Bruce Arians and Todd Haley as offensive coordinators. Mike said they need to win 1 out of the next 3 for a prayer, but 2 out of the next 3 to feel like they’re back in the thick of things. Mike is confident Tomlin will be the Steelers head coach until he doesn’t want to be anymore and doesn’t expect a jump to the media.

Something different is happening from a national standpoint. The big media at the big networks are pointing out the flaws with the Steelers with the main point being Mike Tomlin. There is no longer the “it’s not that bad” or “Tomlin is still a top tier coach” or “he would get hired somewhere else in 5 seconds” from the ESPN’s of the world. People know there is a sour taste in the Steel City. If Tomlin resigned/retired at the end of the season following, what is likely his first losing season, how would it make people feel?

What do fans want for the future of the Steelers? 

Sports photography news, Blink 182 is coming to town next year and a Mr. Rogers character clapped back at the Bills.

Have you ever had a private part send a tweet?

Former Steeler Arthur Moats joined the show. Arthur said he would not remove Matt Canada midseason because it can really shift things in the locker room. He said it will virtually be like hitting the reset button. Short of firing Canada, Arthur said it starts with consistency. Arthur said Jaylen Warren is the most productive runner on the roster right now, but Najee Harris has the 1st round pedigree. He explained that a lot of it has to do with the play calling being very predictable when Najee is on the field. Arthur talked about what goes into a sustainable run game and it’s more than just the blocking and the running back. The guys asked Arthur about the Cam Heyward retweet and if he believes the butt excuse. Arthur got into what the atmosphere in the locker room is like when things are bad and it’s the heat of the moment, commenting on the Arthur Maulet report.
