  • Fautanu's Quest To Claim The Steelers' RT Position For The Next 10 YEARS Starts Now!!! | Episode 60
    Jun 27 2025

    Darnell Washington is primed for a bigger role in the Steelers' offense as we dive into his impressive stats and potential impact for the 2024 season. With 19 catches for 200 yards and 1 touchdown, his performance already outshines his 2023 numbers of 7 catches for 61 yards. Given the success of the Arthur Smith system, which thrives on dual tight end setups, Washington's versatility could be a game-changer, especially considering the combined 103 catches and 1,249 yards from Pitts and Smith last season with limited QB play. His PFF rating of 71.2 over 602 snaps highlights his strength as both a receiver and blocker, with run-blocking and pass-blocking grades of 67.2 and 68.3, respectively. After shedding 10-15 pounds, Washington looks faster and more agile, making him a prime candidate for deeper routes beyond just being a safety valve or bootleg option.

    Did Jerome Bettis get overshadowed by Franco Harris in the legacy of the Pittsburgh Steelers? With a remarkable career that includes over 10,571 rushing yards and 78 touchdowns in just ten seasons, Bettis certainly left his mark on the franchise. A two-time First Team All-Pro and the 1993 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, he captivated fans with his unique blend of size and agility at 5'11"" and 252 pounds. Known for being nimble, powerful at the goal line, and light on his feet, Bettis had his signature moment when he clinched Super Bowl XL in his hometown of Detroit. However, while he achieved individual accolades, his playoff success doesn’t quite measure up to Franco Harris’s legacy.

    Troy Fautanu is set to become a pivotal piece of the Steelers' offensive line as they look to solidify this crucial position. After playing 55 snaps in Week 2 and achieving a respectable overall grade of 64.4, alongside a commendable 69.3 in pass blocking against a formidable defensive front, his performance reflects promise. Fautanu's fit within Arthur Smith's outside run scheme highlights his athleticism, as he consistently reaches the second level and effectively engages with defenders on open-side runs. With high draft capital invested in addressing the offensive line, the Steelers need Fautanu to transform that potential into consistent performance. If he can maintain his health and continue to develop, he could emerge as the Steelers' best lineman this season, showcasing the physical mentality and talent that make him a potential star.

    The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense is under the spotlight as they look to reclaim their status as an elite unit. With a staggering $178.7 million allocated in 2025, representing 64% of the team's salary cap, the high-paid playmakers are expected to deliver. However, the scoring defense's 7th place finish may not reflect their actual standing, as they ranked 19th in red zone efficiency. Rushing defense is also crucial, needing to rise to the top 5 after finishing 11th last season. The addition of more athletic players like Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson is aimed at solidifying the defensive line. Additionally, the pass defense, which ranked 23rd last season, must step up as the Steelers face six of the top ten scoring offenses from 2024, including key rivals Baltimore and Cincinnati.

  • Stallworth & Swann Part Of A CRAZY GOOD 1974 Draft | Episode 59
    Jun 20 2025

    Payton Wilson is stepping into a crucial role as the starting inside linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it’s time for him to prove he’s a DAWG. Last season, Wilson played 520 snaps, but he needs to double that to solidify his position as an every-down linebacker. While he finished fourth on the team with 78 tackles, including 49 solo stops, he was often caught overcommitting early in the season, allowing teams to exploit him in sub-package defenses. Despite being ranked 17th by PFF among all linebackers, this ranking doesn't fully capture his potential due to limited playing time.

    Ryan Clark sparks a compelling debate on the legacies of Mike Tomlin and Aaron Rodgers, highlighting how both have been seen as potential all-time greats but have also faced criticism for not living up to lofty expectations. Clark reflects on his admiration for Rodgers, recalling the 2011 Super Bowl loss that led him to believe Rodgers would dominate and secure multiple championships. He draws parallels between Tomlin's ability to motivate and prepare players on par with coaching legends like Nick Saban. However, he questions whether the high standards set for these two icons might skew perceptions of their success. Can someone with four MVPs like Rodgers truly be labeled an underachiever? And what about Tomlin, who has never posted a losing season but has only reached the Super Bowl twice?

    Lynn Swann and John Stallworth were both drafted in 1974 during one of the most iconic drafts in NFL history, contributing significantly to the Pittsburgh Steelers' legacy. Swann, a first-round pick, was known for his flashy play and remarkable leaping ability, aided by his ballet background. His best season came in 1975, where he led the league with 11 touchdowns and famously became the first wide receiver to earn Super Bowl MVP honors in Super Bowl X, displaying his extraordinary talent with a record 161 yards in the game. On the other hand, Stallworth, a fourth-round pick, had a slightly different journey. Battling early injuries, he rose to prominence during Super Bowl XIV, stepping in for Swann and making a game-changing 73-yard touchdown catch that sealed the victory for the Steelers.

    Who should the Steelers extend next? With Jaylen Warren poised as the starting running back, his role as a complementary back could elevate the offense significantly. Known for being one of the top pass protectors in the league and a reliable option out of the backfield, securing him with a contract around $4-6 million per year could avoid the need to draft another RB. Meanwhile, Calvin Austin III has the potential to thrive as a true #2 receiver alongside DK, making him a vital part of the receiving corps in today's pass-heavy league. Signing him for $5-6 million per year before the season would solidify this dynamic trio. Don’t overlook Isaac Seumalo, the veteran presence on the offensive line. Turning 32 in October, he showed signs of slippage last season, possibly due to an injury that kept him out for the first four games.

  • Second Year Center Zach Frazier PEAKING Early | Episode 58
    Jun 13 2025

    Zack Frazier has quickly emerged as a vital asset for the Pittsburgh Steelers, showcasing an impressive rookie season that has fans buzzing about his potential as the next great center. Starting 16 games and achieving a remarkable PFF grade of 77.9—ranking him as the highest graded lineman on the team—Frazier displayed his prowess with a solid 68.6% pass-blocking efficiency and an incredible 80.5% run-blocking rate. His tenacity on the field is unmatched, as he consistently finishes blocks and plays through the whistle, embodying everything Steelers Nation cherishes in an offensive lineman. While concerns of a sophomore slump linger, Frazier’s determination is evident—he notably crawled off the field with a broken leg in college just to save his team a timeout and managed to power through the rookie wall later in the season.

    Rod Woodson stands as one of the all-time greats in NFL history, easily claiming the title of my #2 cornerback of all time. His legacy is highlighted by an impressive array of accolades, including two All-Pro seasons at safety after departing from the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he also secured a Super Bowl championship in Super Bowl XXXV. His prowess on the field earned him the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award in 1993, along with an extraordinary six First-team All-Pro selections from 1989 to 2002 and three Second-team All-Pro honors. A perennial favorite, Woodson graced the Pro Bowl 11 times and led the league in interceptions twice. His influence extended beyond individual seasons, earning him spots on the NFL’s 1990s All-Decade Team and both the 75th and 100th Anniversary All-Time Teams. Despite his impressive resume, Woodson's connection to Pittsburgh was evident—he never wanted to leave.

    Deshon Elliott has proven himself to be a valuable asset for the Pittsburgh Steelers, delivering a rock-solid performance as a starter with impressive stats including 108 tackles, 73 solo, 1 interception, and 2 forced fumbles. His tenacity and no-nonsense attitude have made him a standout on the defense, stepping up as a vocal leader when the unit has struggled. After bouncing around early in his career with the Ravens, Lions, and Dolphins, Elliott has seemingly found his home in Pittsburgh, where he averaged an impressive 91.5 tackles in seasons where he played at least 14 games. With his skill set aligning well with the defense, extending Deshon Elliott seems like a move that would benefit both him and the team moving forward.

    Mini Camp Review highlights the key developments from the Steelers’ offseason activities. The team emerged from mini camp relatively healthy, aside from Darnald Parnam, who was TE4 and not a major concern. Minkah Fitzpatrick has shown up in outstanding form, appearing faster and more rejuvenated, making plays all over the field. On the defensive side, expect a more imaginative and unpredictable scheme rather than sticking to a vanilla approach. Keep an eye on Donte Kent, who has made a strong impression and may challenge Beanie for the nickel spot, showcasing more speed and flashes of talent during mini camp.

  • All Steelers...All Aaron Rodgers...All Season... | Episode 57
    Jun 6 2025

    Brien ""Big B"" Hanley dives deep into the motivations behind a recent player’s decision to join the Pittsburgh Steelers. With limited options on the table—like the Jets who moved on and a struggling Saints team in salary cap turmoil—it became clear why Pittsburgh emerged as the ideal fit. The Jets' decision to let him go stemmed from internal issues, and the quarterback’s recent experience with them was less than stellar, ending a dismal 5-12 season marked by dysfunction.

    The upcoming season brings exciting changes to the Steelers' offense with the arrival of Aaron Rodgers. Arthur Smith remains committed to a strong running game but will need to adapt his approach, allowing Rodgers to showcase his unique skills, especially through play action. Complementary football will be essential; while Rodgers is a formidable weapon, he isn't a one-man army. The offensive line must step up, providing the protection he needs while also creating running lanes for Warren and Johnson.

    Last season, the Steelers shied away from the middle of the field, a tactic that can’t be repeated if they want to succeed. Tight ends Friermuth and Washington must play a more integral role, helping stretch the field and open up opportunities. Additionally, DK Metcalf is expected to be the dominant force that Pickens was last year—while Pickens had an impressive season with 66 receptions, 992 yards, and 5 touchdowns, there's room for growth, and a ""Got Paid"" slump can't be an option this time around.

    Looking ahead to the 2025 season, let’s reflect on 2024, where the numbers stood at 3,897 yards, 28 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, and a completion rate of 63%. Despite the unfavorable record, his performance was better than critics portray; he was managing an average offensive line that was ranked 17th by PFF, allowing 43 sacks against the Steelers' 49. Coming off an Achilles injury, he started the season rusty, struggling with mobility and holding onto the ball too long. However, the tide turned during the second half of the year, where he shined in the last nine games, with only one off game against Minnesota, where he threw three picks in a narrow 23-17 loss. Success for 2025 lies in reaching the playoffs and ensuring the quarterback position remains a strength, as it's crucial to the Steelers' competitiveness.

    The future of the Pittsburgh Steelers is bright, with a steadfast commitment to building from the inside out. As we look ahead to the 2026 season and beyond, the plan remains focused and unwavering. Even if the Steelers claim a Super Bowl victory, targeting a quarterback early next season is crucial for long-term success. With 12 potential picks, Pittsburgh is poised to have the flexibility and power to shape the future of the franchise in the upcoming draft. The question of whether Aaron Rodgers could re-sign if he enjoys a strong season adds another layer of intrigue. It all boils down to his desire to stay and the team's interest in keeping him. The opportunity for a new quarterback to learn under a future Hall of Famer for a season could be beneficial for both the player and the team.

  • What’s Really Happening With The Steelers QB Drama? | Episode 56
    May 30 2025

    The Steelers’ current quarterback situation raises crucial questions about accountability within the organization. The front office, led by Mike Tomlin, Omar Khan, and the late Kevin Colbert, has struggled to develop a reliable backup quarterback, with names like Omar Jacobs, Landry Jones, Joshua Dobbs, Mason Rudolph, Chris Oladokun, and Kenny Pickett—often referred to as ""Babyhands""—coming up short. Art Rooney's involvement has also been a point of contention; as a non-football guy, his decisions, particularly during the pivotal moments of Ben Roethlisberger’s tenure, have come under fire. Roethlisberger himself played a role in this dilemma, famously resisting the drafting of Mason Rudolph and publicly criticizing the choice, which hindered any chance of mentorship. Furthermore, his reluctance to step aside when it was time to pass the torch adds another layer of complexity to the narrative. Who should bear the responsibility for the current state of the Steelers' quarterback position?

    Keeanu Benton needs to step up and become a true game wrecker for the Pittsburgh Steelers. As a player who hasn't commanded double teams, he must focus on finishing plays this season after falling short of that goal in 2024. With the recent addition of Yaya Black, there’s hope that Benton will get more opportunities to play at his natural position, as he is not ideally suited to be a nose guard due to his size. The time is now for Benton to prove his worth and make a significant impact on the field.

    Calvin Austin III is the hidden gem of the Pittsburgh Steelers roster, often overshadowed but ready to shine. Drafted in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Austin's rookie year was derailed by an injury that kept him off the field. In his second year, he had limited opportunities, finishing with 17 catches on 30 targets for 180 yards and a touchdown, while also showing promise in the punt return game with an impressive 14.6-yard average on 29 attempts. As we head into 2024, Austin is poised for a breakout season, recording 36 catches for 548 yards and 4 touchdowns, plus another 289 yards on 17 punt returns and a score. With the ability to play both the Z (flanker) and Y (slot) positions, he's versatile but still needs more targets, particularly on shallow crosses and deep over routes. His reliable hands and improved catch radius make him an exciting weapon for Big B to explore as he aims for WR2 status.

    Omar Khan’s tenure as the Steelers' general manager has generated both intrigue and scrutiny. Taking the reins in 2022 and making his mark with crucial draft decisions, Khan’s first major move was trading up to secure Broderick Jones at pick 14. This year, Jones is finally stepping into the role he was drafted for, while the 2023 draft class, deemed an A+, added valuable talent like Joey Porter Jr., Keeanu Benton, and exciting prospects like Darnell Washington and Nick Herbig. With the 2024 draft on the horizon, fans are hopeful as the Steelers focus on the offensive line, eyeing potential starters including Troy Fautanu and Roman Wilson.

  • The TOP 5 Steelers Teams that DIDN'T Win a Championship | Episode 55
    May 23 2025

    The success of the Pittsburgh Steelers hinges significantly on the performance of their tackles this season. With Troy Fautanu and Broderick Jones stepping into crucial roles, the pressure is on for them to deliver after the organization invested substantial draft capital in their development. Former NFL lineman Ross Tucker has expressed his admiration for Troy's talent, but he remains concerned about Broderick's readiness for the challenge. As the season unfolds, the performance of these two tackles will be key to the team's success. Check out Ross Tucker's thoughts on the offensive line and how these players can impact the season ahead.

    Alex Highsmith is at a pivotal juncture in his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After a solid start, he must stay healthy and elevate his performance to secure his future with the team. To meet expectations, he should aim for at least 70 tackles and 9+ sacks this season; anything less, like last year's 6 or 7, won't cut it given the current state of the defense. With no guaranteed money remaining on his contract and the Steelers drafting Sawyer as a potential replacement, the pressure is on Highsmith to prove he’s worth the investment.

    Let Muth cook. Pat Freiermuth must become a focal point in the middle of the field, making his presence felt in the seams. With Arthur Smith needing to get him the ball consistently, it’s essential to leverage his talent more effectively. After leading the team with 65 receptions and racking up 653 yards—averaging 38 yards a game—alongside 7 touchdowns, Freiermuth has shown he can be a major weapon. However, to truly unleash his potential, he must also bring more physicality to his game, especially in critical moments like that memorable 3rd and 1 against Baltimore in the playoffs last year. There's also room for improvement in his blocking skills; with better effort in that area, he can successfully create opportunities for others.

    Dive into the legacy of the Pittsburgh Steelers as we explore the best five teams that never clinched a Super Bowl title. From the dominant 1976 squad featuring an astonishing roster of 12 Pro Bowlers and a relentless defense led by the likes of Jack Lambert and Mean Joe Greene, to the heart-wrenching 2017 team that faced tragedy with Ryan Shazier’s injury, our discussion covers the peaks and valleys of Steelers history. Relive the momentous 2016 season, where an injury-plagued offense fell short in the AFC Championship, and the 2004 powerhouse that saw a rookie Ben Roethlisberger lead a formidable lineup that was ultimately undone by turnovers against New England. We also reflect on the 1994 team, which boasted a fierce defense and a strong running game but suffered an upset in the AFC Championship to the San Diego Chargers.

  • I HATE The Pickens Trade But The Steelers Won't Regret It | Steelers Almighty Podcast | Episode 53
    May 8 2025

    Big Ben Roethlisberger often finds himself in the shadows of the game's elite quarterbacks, yet Terrell Suggs boldly claims he’s the most underrated QB of all time. When we dive into the stats, it's hard to ignore Ben’s impressive legacy: he ranks 5th all-time in passing yards with 64,088, 8th in touchdown passes with 418, and 5th in completions with 5,440. Notably, he’s secured more Super Bowl rings than legends like Drew Brees, Brett Favre, and Aaron Rodgers, while matching the tally of Peyton Manning and Eli Manning.

    As the Steelers look towards the future, the team is strategically setting itself up for a high pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. With 12 picks currently in their arsenal, Pittsburgh has ample capital to move up and secure a quarterback they truly believe in. The upcoming QB market is shaping up to be promising, featuring potential prospects like Arch Manning, Garrett Nussmeier from LSU, Cade Klubnik of Clemson, LaNorris Sellers from South Carolina, Drew Allar of Penn State, and even Nico Iamaleava from UCLA—although his status remains uncertain. Carson Beck from Miami also adds to the list of intriguing candidates. While Will Howard could be in the mix, his performance won’t dictate the plans at the quarterback position. The Steelers recognize the importance of fostering competition; history shows that only two quarterbacks drafted on day three since 2010 turned out to be successful.

    Patrick Queen needs to elevate his game to truly become the playmaker the Pittsburgh Steelers expect him to be. While he led the team with 129 tackles, including 65 solo efforts, he also recorded 20 missed tackles, ranking 185th according to PFF. His speed and ability to rush the passer are notable assets, but they weren't enough to overshadow his struggles. Throughout the season, Queen often found himself out of position, leading to inconsistent performances in both run and pass coverage. As he navigated his first year donning the green dot, communication issues were evident, contributing to an average pass coverage grade.

    George Pickens' trade raises questions about whether his production matched the problems he faced during his time with the Steelers. With 174 catches for 2,841 yards and 12 touchdowns, Pickens showcased undeniable talent while navigating the challenges of playing alongside five different quarterbacks, none of whom could be classified as stellar. His journey has been marred by over $250k in fines over his first three years, stemming from concerns about his effort on run plays and pass routes, along with controversial interactions, like fighting fans and liking negative posts about teammates. Despite these issues, Pickens has demonstrated an exceptional ability to catch poorly thrown passes and make spectacular plays, proving his elite hands when focused. His numbers reflect signs of talent that could shine even brighter with better quarterback play and a more consistent offensive scheme.
