  • Why Isn't Omar Khan Making a WR Move? | Steelers Morning Rush

    Why Isn't Omar Khan Making a WR Move? | Steelers Morning Rush
    Sep 19 2024
    Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's why Omar Khan hasn't made a move to bolster the Steelers wide receiver position yet. The Steelers have gotten just five catches for 28 yards from, the totality of their wide receivers not named George Pickens, so why hasn't Khan been tearing up the waiver wire to make a move? Alan explains why the team's roster makeup has really prevented him from making a bunch of moves, and also talks about how Roman Wilson likely won't make a big impact when he gets back on the field, either.

    Is Steelers Offensive Approach Bad? | Steelers Afternoon Drive
    Sep 18 2024
    Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss the Steelers mounting injuries, specifically with special teams contributors. Can they make up for the losses of Ben Skowronek and Tyler Matakevich? Could this be the week Roman Wilson gets a helmet and makes his NFL debut? How similar to the steelers are the new-look LA Chargers under head coach Jim Harbaugh? With Greg Roman running the show on offense and JK Dobbins and Gus Edwards as their backs, there's a lot of familiarity. Are the Steelers and Mike Tomlin ok with winning low scoring games?

    Sep 18 2024
    Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's why you shouldn't be overconfident against the Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday. The Steelers are 2-0, and while there are plenty of questions and hand-wringing about the offense, the defense has been the best unit in the league through two weeks. But the Chargers are bringing in an old Ravens look from offensive coordinator Greg Roman has has been running the ball better than almost anyone else, while also possessing a talented quarterback in Justin Herbert.

    Sep 17 2024
    Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss what head coach Mike Tomlin had to say during his Tuesday availability. He touched on why he rotated Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu against the Denver Broncos and if that would continue to be a thing. We touch on where Broderick is at right now and if this could be a lost season. It seems like another week of Justin Fields starting at QB against the Los Angeles Chargers with Russell Wilson trying to work his way back. Could Justin show enough to take hold of the job for good? Finally, we discuss Klint Kubiak's success with the New Orleans Saints, after many clamored for him to be the Steelers next offensive coordinator.

  • Is Arthur Smith's Offense Any Good? What About Justin Fields? | Steelers Morning Rush

    Is Arthur Smith's Offense Any Good? What About Justin Fields? | Steelers Morning Rush
    Sep 16 2024
    Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the team's offense through the first two weeks of the 2024 season. The Steelers have utilized a very conservative game plan, which hasn't told us every much about how good Arthur Smith's scheme is, or how good Justin Fields can be at quarterback. So far, they haven't been tested enough to make that matter. At some point, that will likley change. Until they, we probably won't know how good this ofense really is.
