Where is My Clark Bar?
12:00
Paul, Let’s say Robinson turns out to be a really good ILB for the Steelers. Knowing his situation, realistically how much developmental time will he need to become that player?
Zeise
12:00
I think he is the kind of player who, if they work him in a little at a time he will be able to be a very solid and key contributor down the stretch.

It's way too soon to decide the Pirates' rebuild is a bust but not too soon to wonder about it. Could it be that the strategy of trading veterans for prospects might not work for the Pirates because the major leaguers they had to trade weren't good enough to bring back really talented prospects? Do you recall any of them coming with "can't miss" labels?
Zeise
12:02
But we were told these were all great prospects. And it comes down to the development of these guys which has not been good. I look at ONeil Cruz - has he gotten better?
Early Bird

Since Pat Narduzzi said he thinks Pitt could win in the Big Ten, if they were in the Big Ten this year, where do you think they'd finish in each division?
Zeise
12:03
I think they would not beat Ohio State. Beyond that they could beat anyone. So I think they could finish as high as second in either division
Howard Stern

Howard Stern here, hi Paul. I heard you got a new radio show. Shall we call you "The King Of All Media" now? Haha, Robin is laughing!               Good luck to you, sir.
Zeise
12:03
I wish it meant I got paid like you!
Josh Dobbs

Hello Paul. You impressed with my play now?          And people thought I only held an IPad for Ben on the sidelines.
Zeise
12:04
You are not going to be the starter, again

Any reason Jack Suwinsky is still down in the minors? Pirates could use his power and while his batting average was hovering around .200 that seems to be the norm on this team. He should be with the big club while Van Meter needs to move on to a different line of work.
Zeise
12:05
Apparently he hits too many home runs and would ruin the plan to tank….
Ben

Hi Paul. Me.The team. Me. They missed me. Me. My teammates who adore me still. Me.                  A comeback? Me. Think I still have it, Paul? Me?
Zeise
12:05
I think you should settle in to being your kids Uber driver….

What I have noticed about Bush is that he is trying to avoid contact when he should be seeking out people to hit. I saw him turn his back to the line 1 time while the RB scampered by him. Bush not only needs to not be starting, he should be cut. Steelers need to man up admit their mistake and move on. Agree?
Zeise
12:07
If he doesn’t get it done this year they will man up ajd admit it was a mistake. But they will give him every opportunity to prove he wasn’t a mistake this year

Hi Paul.  With the hamstring injury to the Cryboys left tackle, presumably out for the season, do you think that puts more pressure on the Steelers to sign a free agent lineman like Fisher from KC before Dallas signs him or another free agent lineman?  Thanks.
Zeise
12:07
The Steelers aren’t going to go sign a lineman unless it is a scrap heap guy
Josh VanMeter
12:07
Hello Paul. I'm having the last laugh, brah. Where can I go and make this kind of dough, right?
Zeise
12:08
Only in America, right!!!
Southside Jimmy

Paul, is it me or are the Steelers reluctant to throw screen passes?  Maybe it’s not part of Canada’s offense?   Given the pressure on our quarterbacks this preseason, I would think they would use it at least 2 or 3 times per game.  Thanks Paul.
Zeise
12:09
They have never been a big screen team. It is just their philosophy and maybe the Matt Canada offense doesn’t utilize them. I don’t remember many screens when he was running Pitt’s offense
Sunner in Orlando
12:09
Any chance the Steelers bring in a free agent for left tackle or trade for one as I see Moore getting all of our QBs hurt this year with his turnstile of letting the DE take a free run at the QBs? Either that or they will need to keep an extra TE in on that side to slow down the rush.
Zeise
12:09
Again they think Dan Moore is good and will be their guy
Marc with a C
12:11
The Steelers build their roster like a fantasy roster with good skill position players and a horrible OL. When is Tomlin ever going to be held accountable?
Zeise
12:12
I think they tried to build their line. They just evaluated players poorly. They haven’t invested first rounders but they have signed and drafted a lot of linemen. But it looks like they are just bad at evaluation
Les
12:13
Hello, I find it difficult to understand why the Steelers resigned Okafor 3 years for $29,250,000 contract and Mason Cole to a 3 year $15,750,000 contract and they are not even close to being rated in the top half of NFL lineman?  Granted not all of this money is guaranteed but why not combine those amounts and sign a "top tier" lineman and then figure out the other position through draft or free agency? The offensive line will be the demise of this team.
Zeise
12:13
He has been their best lineman, which, I know ain’t saying much

Mr Zeise, if you pass by my tailgate Saturday, please don't drink in front of us, You're a bad influence like Ritchy Walls is. We only have a few social ones.
Zeise
12:17
I’ll drink lots and lots

Better sports movie--Hoosiers or All the right moves?
Zeise
12:19
Hoosiers and Field of Dreams are the two most overrated movies ever. So by default All the RightMoves
Pants
12:21
Pitt Basketball to final 4 or Pirates to World Series first or Neither will ever happen?
Zeise
12:22
I think I would believe Pitt Final Four before I would believe Pirates WS. It only takes a few lucky bounces for a team to get to Final Four
Mercury
12:22
If someone like Kendrick Green was demoted to the practice team would his pay then be reduced to a practice player level?
Zeise
12:22
yes. But if he was demoted he would be picked up by another team immediately so that’s why it never happens

Paul, Will Wiggle Whiskey bottles replace the Pierogi races at Prospect Games?
Zeise
12:23
No way! Pierogies for life!!
