No. They might have to change the size of the groups they work with, Do some stuff between the South Side and Heinz Field but they will figure out how to do it. I don’t think they would want to go somewhere else

Hey Paul. Any thoughts on how the possibly lower NFL salary cap in 2021 could impact the Steelers? Do you think there will be a lot of players around the league getting cut and re-signed at a lower salary?
Zeise
1:40
It is really going to be tough for some free agents next year because the cap will be lower. I just don’t see how you get around it. There are going to have to be some tough choices made. And the Steelers have a $41 million cap number for Ben Roethlisberger next year so that ain’t ideal either

Paul, why is it that Pittsburgh doesn’t seem to get recognized for its’ boxing history?  When watching fights, the so-called experts always seem to about New York(especially Brooklyn) and Philly, but not our fair city.  People should be aware of all the boxing legends that came from the City of Champions.
Zeise

Mostly because our greatest fighters are mostly ancient history I think. We have a few recent ones like Paul Spadafora but for the most part out boxing history - pro boxing - is mostly from a long time ago

In 2012 there was a Notre Dame women’s volleyball player named Frenchy Silva, does that count?
What else are we gonna chat about?
1:45
Um, CD, if I acknowledge your attemot to be funny via nicknames for the Redskins will you smile and be satisfied that I laughed? 🙄

Any prediction what school Elliot Donald will attend when he makes his announcement tomorrow?
Zeise
1:48
It sounds like he will stay home and say “Pitt is it” and if he does that is a huge recruiting win for Pat Narduzzi and company. Say what you want but he can really recruit

Paul, while the Steeler D improved greatly last year, towards the end it seemed like they got weaker against the run at a time when the rest of the NFL went back to it with good results. How worried should we be about this trend continuing into next season?
Zeise
1:49
The Steelers defense relied heavily on turnovers. That’s not ideal at all for sustainability but the defense should still be good. I do expect a little regression but not significant regression

Pirates win 3 games. 4 if they're lucky. Agree ?
Zeise
1:50
Nah they will win at least 24. I have them at 28-32

Kenny Pickett ... where do you see him (as things stand right now) in terms of the NFL Draft?
Zeise
1:51
Probably needs to have a big season in order to get into the draft. He will get signed though and get into a camp and have a chance

Chill out. These times need humor!
Zeise
1:52
I have a great sense of humor and I am chill. I just didn’t understand the Elephant Man joke!

Any reason to think Boswell will fall back to his struggles from 2 years ago? Seems he got over whatever issues he had.
Zeise
1:53
No part of his problems in 2018 stemmed from the fact that he wasn’t fully healthy. He had a little groin thing going

Bob Nutting is entirely to blame for the Blue Jays PNC Park fiasco. Agreed ?
Zeise
1:55
No. It falls squarely on the shoulders of Governor Wolf.

Chance college basketball is played this year?
Zeise
1:55
100 percent. It may not start until Jan 1 but we will have it

The Pirates are utterly devoid of talent. No hitters. Worst pitching staff in Baseball. Rookie manager. How do they win more then 5 games ?
Zeise
1:57
I think they have some good offensive players in Bryan Reynolds, Josh Bell, Kevin Newman and Gregory Polanco. They will probably get like 24 starts from Trevor Williams and Joe Musgrove (combined) and that will give them a chance to win more than you think
Mark

Crosby going to play game #1 vs Montreal?
Zeise
1:57
Yes it sounds like he is back and back to play at a high level. It sounds like he is fine
1:58
Well that’s about it for this session, thanks for the questions!
