What Yinz Talkin' Bout: A Pittsburgh Steelers podcast

The Pittsburgh Steelers are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their 1974 Super Bowl season. But one story from that year is getting overshadowed during the celebrations of the birth of the dynasty. That year, Joe Gilliam became the first black quarterback in the Super Bowl era to be named QB1 to start a season. He led the Steelers to a 4-1-1 record before Chuck Noll replaced him with Terry Bradshaw. Documentary filmmaker Dexter Rogers joins us to talk about the racial dynamics that surrounded that decision and how Gilliam's benching fueled his depression and addiction that would derail his career.

We'll also talk about the Mike Tomlin apology tour that's been in effect since the Steelers victory over the New York Jets.

Plus, why some say Russell Wilson was actually bailed out by his playmakers.

Also Teryl Austin gets criticized for playing TJ Watt no differently than Dick LeBeau played James Harrison.

And a Primate sandwich fit for a starting quarterback.

The Pittsburgh Steelers enjoyed their most prolific win of the season, but are fans happy? Hell No! Steelers Nation has no wick, only flame, sending out tweets faster than they can think.

Mike Tomlin did not name a starter on Tuesday, but that's enough to put him on the hot seat in some fan's opinion.

We'll break down Justin Fields' accomplishments and shortcomings so far to make both the argument to continue playing him and to make the switch to Russell Willson.

We'll compare Fields' stats so far to Kenny Pickett/Mitch Trubisky/Mason Rudolph in 2023 as well as Wilson. The results won't sway your opinion.

Plus, we'll examine the defense after six weeks, including whether or not TJ Watt is an MVP candidate yet, and is he worthy of being called the Steelers' all-time GOAT.

So the Pittsburgh Steelers' loss to the Dallas Cowboys was one of the most heart-wrenching defeats since maybe the playoff loss to Cleveland. But we refuse to play the Steelers vs Cowboys blame game. A single play could have turned this into one of the most mythologized games in recent history.

We'll take on the Tomlin Haters and the Artie Smith Attack Army.

We'll separate fact from fiction when it comes to George Pickens' reduced role.

We'll especially defend Teryl Austin from some of the most embarrassing fanbase attacks.

Plus, we'll explain why Mike Tomlin has plenty of justification if he decides to make a change at quarterback. Russell Wilson and Justin Fields each have plus and minuses.

Steelers Nation should be thrilled with a 3-1 start, but all it takes is one loss for the hot takes to hit the fan. We'll expose the fans who immediately threw Mike Tomlin under the bus.

Plus, the defense comes down to earth for one moment, and the blame game comes to the surface.

Then, QB '22+2, who are you? Many say Justin Fields has earned Franchise Quarterback status, but his most impactful moments from Indianapolis are the ones that are gonna keep Russ Wilson in the starting conversation.

Who is gonna catch the ball that's not named Muth or Pickens? The World May Never Know.

Plus, haters target Arthur Smith, Pat Myers, Najee Harris and Broderick Jones, who isn't afraid to fight back.

This week, Steelers fans have still found things to complain about despite a 2-0 undefeated record. Some say the win against the Broncos was ugly, but the Ravens and Bengals would love to be that ugly today.

We'll expose our Crybaby of the Week, but the loudest whiners across the internet.

Despite Mike Tomlin's well-scripted pleas, fans and media are leaning into a self-imposed quarterback controversy. And even Big Ben has emerged as a flip-flopper.

The 1-week honeymoon is over for Arthur Smith, with fans and alumni alike beginning to demand more from our Offensive Coordinator.

Broderick Jones has been on the field for less than 10 snaps, but some are already calling him a bust. And others are blaming his poor performance in Week 2 on Mike Tomlin. But in reality, we should be celebrating the other tackles on the roster.

Plus, there are more accolades for the defense than there are spots on the field.

And finally, the same analysts who projected a Steelers losing-season are now all but guaranteeing a playoff appearance.

This week, the Steelers' battle over QB1 has officially been settled by Coach Tomlin in a decision that most fans saw coming since March. But that's not stopping some in the media from feeling 'bamboozled.'

The offensive line is covered in question marks, but there are fans who think they have all the answers.

The receivers room is set (for now?), and the hater verdict is in: Is this the worst Steelers wide-outs in 20 years or all-time?

There are some who want to give Nick Herbig a promotion at the expense of a Pro Bowler. We'll figure out where he rates on a scale of Tuzar to TJ.

This week, Steelers Nation and the media have been trying their best to create a QB controversy in Pittsburgh. More and more people are calling for Justin Fields to get the regular season start, but the names in Russ Wilson's corner should tell you everything you need to know.

What was once an amazing-looking offense just a week ago has now seen a downturn, and some are wondering if Arthur Smith is Matt Canada 2.0.

Broderick Jones has seen better days on the field, but Steelers fans are torn over who to blame: the player or the coaches.

Plus, Omar Khan is starting to take his first licks. The Bus dabbles in national politics. And the comedian whose roast of the Steelers was so bad, it was deleted from the internet.
