I honestly believe Broderick when he says he doesn’t care. He is so good he can play both positions just as great. I want Broderick to be a Steeler for life!!

Gooood Wednesday Morning to you DK!!! Have to say, already seeing a HUGE difference at QB from just the first Russel Wilson interview after day 1 of OTA's...What a great veteran presence he is in the locker room.

Broderick Jones is Quickly becoming my Favorite Steeler. His High Character + Dawg Mentality Gives me Chills Often. Broderick Jones, Troy Fautanu, Zach Frazier and Mason McCormick are all the same! Omar and Weidl Know what they’re Doing. I’ve never been so excited about overall line Talent/Depth. Big Athletic Motivated Movers 😤

Broderick to Russell upon meeting him recently: "DANG YOU'RE SHORT!! You gotta go back like 15-steps?" 😭💀 (My favorite quote during lockeroom interviews Tuesday) 😂 Russell's like "Nah! I can see."

Jones looked good and I love his attitude. Moore is as advertised as far as being a great teammate and looks like he’s put on a little more muscle. Muth might break some team TE records this year. And it was nice to seem Big D Washington doing some seam routes out there. I know it’s football in shorts, but the overall moral of this team especially offense seems really upbeat and ready to buy in.

J1Q: Hearing Justin Fields talk about how Pittsburgh was his preferred destination and how he doesn't have the mindset of sitting all year was refreshing. Do you think there is a real scenario where at the end of camp or preseason that Fields beats Russ out as the starter? Or do you think Tomlin has his mind set up of at least letting Russ take the first snaps week 1 no matter what?

I think we have to realize when talking about the falcons TE usage that Kyle pitts is really more like a generational receiving talent listed at TE. Friermuth is a good receiving TE but he’s not really comparable. It would be great to see him lined up split out more though

@kentsturgill5945 24 күн бұрын

Well according to some people out there the Steelers have become good, or bad I guess at moving O-lineman from their natural positions . Just so happens these guys they drafted recently are really , really good , and are probably quite capable of moving around . Wouldn't be surpeised tho to see a similar O-line to start to where they ended last ssn , meaning Moore jr still in line up . Except center of course .

although footbal in shorts is basiclly "Football in shorts" I do think that, to a degree, great throws & catches will translate to the real games. I encourage everyone to read your articles, they address all my questions in detail.

Broderick also said something about Omar claims he still gonna play left we will see.only the steelers would trade up for a potential elite left tackle then put him on the right side so the left tackle that should be replaced will stay on the field

@markbrophy554 24 күн бұрын

insert "mediocre" as the adjective to describe said left tackle Wouldn't it make more sense to move Moore Jr. to RT to give him some reps there so he can be the "swing" tackle??

@Captain058 23 күн бұрын

I think there's one issue with Moore's feelings though... you still have to pass block because you can't rely on play action to win your blocks for you. 🤷🏼‍♂️ I'm not buying the idea that we'll run away (pun intended) from our pass protection issues and we now have two more QBs that often scramble their way into trouble.

DK,I know it's early in the process but the fact remains this OL played it's best ball last year once Jones took over RT! That's a fact! I don't believe Tomlin is gonna begin the season with 2 rookies and a sophomore on the OL so we better prepare for DMjr to be the LT week 1 (and I'm ok with that, it's a long season)

DK, Pat was lined up in the slot position? If only one of your trusted listeners had asked you about that last week 😂. In case you didn't see the comment, what I asked was, considering they didn't land that big number one or two receiver they were after, and Arthur Smith's reputation is using the least amount of 11 personnel in the NFL, all of the math was math and to tell me that Pat would be your predominant slot receiver unless another guy is brought in. I'm just tootin my own horn

@davecolvin310 24 күн бұрын

Doesn't matter at this point whose starting where.because everyone is learning a new offense.and everyone has to get that down first.once that happens then you can have real competition.they will get the basics down in otas then when camp starts they can perfect some things by time preseason games start they will sort out players and expand offense.

@theecstaticinfidelhypothes9222 23 күн бұрын

I don't know why anyone would be surprised by the initial camp lineup for the OL. Tomlin respects his vets and he will show them the respect of starting them until the new guys earn a spot. I expect Frazier to earn the starting center spot before the season starts. I expect Fautanu will start at one of the tackle spots before the end of the season (I'm not sold that he will start Game 1; Broderick Jones didn't). But for day one, the vets get the respect of lining up in their spots. We know the young guys are coming, but make them earn it.

Hi DK, Conspiracy Theory: 🤯 The Steelers currently have a lot of cap space, and their financial situation is solid, even without potential contract restructurings, particularly for TJ Watt and Cam Heyward ($22 million this year). Given this favorable cap scenario, the Steelers are well-positioned to bring in a big-time free agent or trade for a star wide receiver who might demand a substantial contract. Here’s where my theory comes in: I believe Cam Heyward and Omar Khan are bluffing. I suspect Cam plans to retire after this season, but to make the cap situation appear less flexible, he's pretending to push for negotiations on an extension. This move could strategically downplay the Steelers' cap room, thereby tempering expectations or reducing external pressure to make a splashy acquisition. I know you dont like hypotheticals, so please tell me im wrong 🥴

@curtisclark3590 24 күн бұрын

Am I wrong in saying we could go from a right handed quarterback to a right? and will that matter?

@galinswigart 24 күн бұрын

My only concern with the approach the Steelers have taken is that the OL, potentially as much as any other group on the team relies heavily on chemistry and communication. Switching people around and/or not starting new players delays and disrupts the communication and chemistry on the line. You can have 5 great pieces but without reps together, things can break down. If you think Fautanu is going to be the starter for most of the year, I think giving him first team reps at whatever spot he’s going to be starting long term is the best way to approach it. LT and RT are two different positions and the Steelers have ruined the confidence of guys by starting them out of position. I don’t want to see that with the tackles.
