The love is because he is a guy who everyone loves, he is a fan favorite. But he is a ham and egger

Hello Paul. If Kevin Colbert retires, would it be wise for A R II to hire a President/ GM to make the tough decisions to move this team forward in a better direction as Art appears not to be able to do that?
Zeise
1:33
He should but you know better, he won’t
Scott

Based on his ability to get in and out of breaks and make defenders miss, isnt DJ the prototypical slot receiver?
Zeise
1:34
I think so and Claypool is supposed to take the top off the defense. But one drops passes and the other is not very good sooooo…..

Why do you think Ben didn’t do a press conference?
Zeise
1:35
Who knows. If you read Gerry Dulac today he has some bitterness towards the Steelers, which is silly but whatever

Paul... how excited should Pitt fans be about Kedon Slovis?   Listed at two years of eligibility, Pitt's offense should be positioned to one of the very best in the ACC next year.
Zeise

As I said the combination of Slovis, the players around him and Cignetti should be something really good

I believe tomlin is just an average coach. Not very good at judging talent and has no ability to make adjustments during the games.he allows players to disrupt the team such as brown holding up team buses and not staying in the dorm during training camp. I also believe he will not hire top assistants because they might step on his toes.so many season with out losing record so what.a legend in his own mind. Time to go adios amigo
Zeise

He is above average. I don’t know that he is elite. We will find out soon just how good he is

Thanks for your answer about DJ. I never understood why they don't play him there more. After JuJu got hurt I expected to see Claypool and JW on the outside and DJ in the slot with Ray Ray making a rare appearance in 4 wide. Or motion Najee to the opposite slot of DJ.

They need a lot of receiving help in my opinion

Paul... if you are Todd Haley, are you thinking right now that the best thing that ever happened to your Steeler legacy is Matt Canada?  I bet his historical popularity poll is on the rise!
Zeise
1:39
it should be high anyway - he did a really good job even though Ben didn’t like him

Paul, instead of a coin flip for the playoffs overtime just let the team who had the ball at the end of the game keep it under same down and distance
Zeise
1:40
No, you can’t do that. Regulation is 60 minutes long and has to be finite
Mike Rozier

Paul are you excited for some Maulers football ?
Zeise
1:41
Arent they playing in like Birmingham?

Paul, if Teryl Austin would not have been hired in 2019, and was being considered this year as the new DC (as an outside hire), I doubt there would be the same backlash as we are seeing now.  Aren't the Steelers better off being proactive in succession planning (in advance of Butler retirement) and having a strong DC candidate who now knows organization and the talent.  While I understand some of the criticism that Tomlin is getting for internal hires, not sure it's warranted here (as Austin was a credible external hire in '19, being groomed for bigger + better things).   Thoughts?
Zeise
1:42
I don’t think there is backlash. Austin is a good coach. The backlash is that he is being hired to run Tomlin’s defense

How do you think Tom Brady or Aaron Rogers would have played behind the Steelers OLine?
Zeise
1:43
I have no idea but I will say this - both could throw the ball down the field still unlike Ben so teams would have had to respect tyat

Paul; I think Heather Lyke should tell Jeff Capel that Pitt should play Duquesne & what it means to the city.
Zeise
1:43
I agree. The fact that they don’t play is absolutely stupid.
Jon

DK brought up the idea of both MR and DH playing tag-team QB.   It's an interesting idea, thoughts?
Zeise
1:44
That’s the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard. You can’t play that way. No team does and has had success.
OK that’s it for me!!! Thanks for all the great questions!!
