It sounds like Le’Veon Bell wants to comeback to the NFL and said he will only play for the Steelers. He said he’s going to see how he’s feeling in March and it will tell him if he can make a return to the league. Bell will be 32 years old by the start of next season – is that too old for him to make it happen? What if The Rock would pay enough for guys like Bell to play in the UFL?

Hour 1: Arthur Smith had his first sit down with a member of Steelers dot com over the weekend. He preached about his want to score points in the red zone, so we took a look at what the Falcons did in that area of the field in the last 3 seasons. However, the Titans had numbers around the top of the league in the 2 seasons Smith was the OC in Tennessee. What does he think of his relationship with quarterbacks throughout the course of his career? Can Smith fix Kenny Pickett as he enters his third year?  

The Steelers are moving on from WR coach Frisman Jackson. Should the Steelers look into Hines Ward? Should the Steelers round out the staff with a bang? Should the Steelers give a call to Eric Bieniemy after he was relieved of his duties in Washington? Pitt football has also lost Charlie Partridge for a job with the Colts. On his way out, he gave a clear shot to the state of college football. What does that say about the sport right now? How much of a loss will it be for Pitt? 

A recap of the Grammy’s last night.

Hour 3: The Steelers have produced an Arthur Smith hype video so we had to check that out. The guys had some fun with it, but also noted that the Steelers are clearly paying attention to what fans have complained about. Does that make you any more excited for the Steelers offense in 2024? 

Steelers insider Mark Kaboly from The Athletic joined the show. Mark thinks Mike Sullivan will be locked back in to the Steelers QB coach. He doesn’t expect any other changes in the staff unless someone wants to leave. Mark talked about the ideas that are flowing in the facility and why they don’t want to turn it over completely with the introduction of Arthur Smith. Mark thinks are at a point where Kenny Pickett will be the main culprit if things don’t work and it won’t all fall on the coordinator this time around. The guys asked Mark about the process the Steelers went through to find Smith as their next OC and if it was thorough enough. Mark insinuated that the Steelers reached out to college coaches here and there, but wasn’t allowed to get into details. Mark tripled-down on thinking Mitch Trubisky could be back as the Steelers backup QB.
