Steelers-Saints WHITE HOT TAKES.

Do we really want the Steelers to win on Sunday or do we want to see them continue making that draft position better?

93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff said he has seen perhaps the best week of practice from the Steelers. Jeff said Najee Harris is aware that some people played back the interview he had with a blogger earlier this week. Jeff gave a short breakdown on what the Steelers are dealing with injury wise on defense. Jeff assured us there would be no Kendrick Green on Sunday even if Kevin Dotson can’t go. 

Former NFL offensive linemen Mark Schlereth from the NFL on Fox joined the show. Mark had a few pieces of advice for Mullsy as he recovers from knee surgery. Mark talked about what the Steelers offense needs to look to in order to get things rolling and making Kenny Pickett comfortable in the offense. Mark said Jaylen Warren runs out of fear, meaning he wants the opportunity and should get more because he consistently fights for extra yards. Mark said Najee Harris is a strong back, but he shouldn’t be afraid to just put his head down and take those 4-yard gains. He gave high praise to Pat Freiermuth and said he plays like he’s been in the league for years. Mark thinks George Pickens needs to be a more featured guy, which is another reason why they traded Chase Claypool.

One Steelers rookie still has everyone’s attention and that is George Pickens. One ESPN writer isn’t keeping him out of the question for Offensive Rookie of the Year. 

Steelers defensive tackle Montravius Adams joined the show. Montravius is hosting a Boys & Girls Club event on Monday for those less fortunate. He talked about the event and why it’s important to him. He got into on-the-field stuff and how Pittsburgh and Green Bay are similar rabid football towns. He talked about what he did during the bye week and how he’s recovered for the second half of the season. Chris asked Montravius about the additions of TJ Watt and Demontae Kazee to the defense for this weekend and the rest of the way. He talked about what the message has been from Mike Tomlin as the team’s record sits at 2-6. What kind of leader is Kenny Pickett as a rookie? Montravius said the sky is the limit for the rookie QB.

TJ Watt is coming back. Cam Heyward said they’re going to keep trucking. Are we wrong to rule the Steelers out? What kind of things do we need to see in the second half? Are we rooting for wins or a better draft pick? We compared the Steelers to the Jets.

Former Steeler Arthur Moats joined the show. Chris asked Arthur about the mindset this team might have right now with 9 games left and sitting at 2-6. Arthur said the addition to TJ Watt back to the defense gives him hope on a big second half. He said the offense is designed to just stay afloat, the defense has to be the difference makers with the skill level on that side of the ball. Arthur talked about some important things Kenny Pickett has to identify in order to have success. Arthur said the running back situation is a bit of damage control because Jaylen Warren looks better than Najee Harris, which is making it difficult to keep the undrafted rookie off the field. He isn’t ruling out seeing Warren become the full-time guy if things continue the same way. Arthur talked about the level of opportunity guys get depending on where they were drafted.

93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff gave the latest report from Steelers practice, including injury updates. He said Jaylen Warren will likely play more than what he is letting on. Jeff said TJ Watt will play a limited number of snaps, but depending on the way the game goes, we could see more or less of him. 

IND @ LV -5.5; MONEYBALL. 

Will we finally get more of Jaylen Warren on Sunday?
