Coming up on an hour until the trade deadline. Will the Steelers make a move? Donny made a case for Hunter Renfrow, thinking it would only cost a 6th or 7th. Does it make sense for the Steelers to make a big swing? The guys discussed rebuilding the offensive line. 

Callers give their takes on what the Steelers will do by the 4 pm trade deadline.

Last season the Steelers traded Chase Claypool and acquired William Jackson. What move do you want to see the Steelers make? Poni labeled the Steelers offensive line among the fifth worst in the league, especially with the current price tag. When will Broderick Jones finally take over left tackle for good? 

It appears the Steelers won’t be making a trade by today’s deadline. How should they have handled the day? Chris thinks the Steelers have their heads up their asses if they think they can actually move forward this way in 2023. Caller doesn’t think Mike Tomlin will ever be fired, no matter the results or the requests.

So nothing from the Steelers on the trade deadline. But there weren’t a ton of huge moves around the league today. Caller asked when is the right time to take a shot on another QB if Kenny Pickett doesn’t pan out, which spurred a discussion among the guys. 

Donny Football Debrief – Funny moment from the Matt Canada press conference today. Is he the worst OC in football? Chris said Kenny Pickett has an argument for worst QB in the league. Will he outplay Will Levis on Thursday? 

It sounds like Kenny Pickett is confident he will play on Thursday night. It also appears that he took himself out of the game on Sunday. Do you give him credit for telling the coaches he couldn’t go or do you question his toughness by not playing the rest of the game? What has to happen for Pickett to look his best? Will we ever see it? Is Sam Howell better than Pickett?

Steelers insider Brian Batko from the PG joined the show. Brian likes the chances of Cam Heyward playing on Thursday, but thinks there’s no doubt he will play against the Packers. Brian gave his take on if Kenny Pickett will play in two days and why he took himself out of the game on Sunday. Brian commented on the rumors that the Steelers were in on the Jaylon Johnson trade earlier today and is mildly surprised the team didn’t end up making a move to upgrade the cornerback position. Where does Levi Wallace fit into things now, following the announcement that Joey Porter Jr. would finally take on a starting role? Brian thinks it could be a revolving door at corner until they find the right combo. Brian doesn’t understand why Broderick Jones hasn’t broken into the starting lineup full-time and when that could happen. 

Pickett’s Points – The guys broke down what Kenny Pickett said to the media earlier today.

Poni didn’t like a point about school allegiances.
