Joey Porter Jr. continues to be called for big penalties. Joe questions if Porter Jr. is even a good corner, where his penalties are close to Pat Surtain, but Surtain is great and he won Defensive POTY. The Steelers apparently don't view Porter Jr. as a No.1 cornerback.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin recaps the Cincinnati Bengals loss, previews the game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

The Ravens blew multiple double digit leads to the Bills and there has been a huge hangover. Lamar Jackson didn't play the last two games and the Ravens were a major problem offensively. Ravens players don't like the scheme and players have a fear of making mistakes.

The Steelers continue rotating at free safety and inside linebacker, Nick thinks it's hurting communication. Nick thought Thursday's loss to Cincinnati was a coaching and talent issue. Darius Slay didn't look good and Jalen Ramsey is better in the slot. Is this fixable?

If the Steelers are going to get a wide receiver, they need to act fast. The Bucs lost Mike Evans and the Buffalo Bills have a poor receiving core. The offense has to compensate for the highest-paid defense in football. Rashid Shaheed, Jaylen Waddle, and Chris Olave are other names the Steelers could acquire.

It makes sense to go all in on the Steelers offense because you can't trust the defense. AJ Brown, Jakobi Meyers, and Jaylen Waddle are three players who would look great with the Steelers. It's hard to watch George Pickens on the Cowboys and not wonder what he would be like here.

The full Pomp and Joe Show, with Bob Pompeani (10-11:30am), Joe Starkey, and Austin Bechtold (behind the glass), from Monday, October 20th, 2025

Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Joe believes this is the Steelers most high profile regular-season game outside of the division since the Jesse James game. It might even top that from the last 10 years. Aaron Rodgers faces the Packers for the first time. Who are the Steelers right now? Aaron Rodgers is on pace for 40 touchdowns.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: T.J. Watt, Myles Garrett, and Maxx Crosby haven't done much this season. Watt has four sacks in his last 10 games. Nick Herbig played on 22 of 52 drop backs against the Bengals. Teryl Austin said Herbig has earned more playing time, but didn't play. With the amount of weapons the Steelers have, how often would a new No. 2 receiver get the football??

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: Pitt is off to a solid start to ACC play. The Panthers beat Syracuse 30-13 and are in the thick of things in the ACC. Pitt should beat NC State and Stanford to set up a huge game against Notre Dame. Penn State is having one of the most disappointing seasons in the history of college football. Joe's top quarterbacks this season.
