Musician Pete Bender joined the show. Pete is a Pittsburgh guy and he wrote a new show tune for The PM Team.

The Steelers added an outside linebacker to the roster – former second round pick Ryan Anderson. 

Tomlin Takes – The guys broke down the Mike Tomlin press conference today. With an injury to Najee Harris, would Tomlin be smarter going with Jaylen Warren? PFF had Minkah Fitzpatrick rated as the 7th best safety in the NFL, again showing they are the be-all, end-all of professional football position rankings. 

Former Steeler Arthur Moats joined the show. Arthur dove right into TJ Watt and his pec injury. He said there should be some caution over the pectoral injury, speaking from experience that he wasn’t ready to go when the initial timetable said he was. Arthur believes he could come back in 6 weeks, but he may not be bringing the same impact that he usually does. The guys asked Arthur a few players the Steelers could lean on in the short-term with Watt out. Dee Ford was the name Arthur brought up that could be a true impact player from outside of the organization. Arthur said we, as fans/viewers, can’t expect the disruption caused by this defense without Watt in the lineup.

Mike Tomlin spoke to the media today to recap the win over the Bengals and the preparation ahead for the Patriots. He seemed to love what he saw from the Steelers offense, which had arguably the worst offense in football. Poni said it’s Tomlin trying to put lipstick on a pig. Tomlin also seemed to like what he saw from the offensive line. 

Sports Doctor, Dr. David Chao joined the show. David said the difference between pectoral muscle and pectoral tendon was a huge difference – the muscle is much easier to rehab from at a quicker pace, which is why TJ Watt is only looking at a 4-6 week injury. David then got into the Najee Harris injury and thinks through video it looks more like an ankle sprain instead of a Lisfranc injury, which Najee said he had during the preseason. He said he’s pessimistic about Najee playing this week against New England. He isn’t sold on Harris being good to go for the game even if he practices a little bit this week.

BREAKING NEWS: TJ Watt on Twitter says “I’ll be back.” Where does this leave the Steelers? Can they make it through 4-6 weeks or more without Watt? Mike Tomlin spoke to the media today and had optimism toward Watt’s injury and the status of Najee Harris going into week two at home. The guys went through the next 4-6 games and deciphered where the team could be to still feel OK. 

93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff had thoughts from the Mike Tomlin press conference today going over the win in Cincinnati and the injuries to TJ Watt and Najee Harris. Jeff referenced when Cam Heyward had a pec injury a few years ago. Chris asked Jeff how Tomlin seems to feel about Jaylen Warren and if he can carry his weight in the Steelers offense. 

There is a new PM Team theme song from a fan.
