Let’s get started
Ken
12:01
Hey Paul.  Is it time for Tomlin to panic yet?
Zeise
12:03
No there is too much football left
Dave

Paul … I think Steelers are in for a dark time.  Ar2 just doesn’t seem to run the organization like his dad.  He doesn’t make those hard decisions  Since he took over look at all the fiascos and poor decisions they made.  And haven’t won much when it matter.   His dad always moved off players a year early.  This guy seems to keep them around too long.  What say you ?
Zeise
12:05
Well it is tough to know when to move on from legendary players My larger issue is that he runs the team like it is still the 70s
Jeff
12:05
Paul …. Please tell me what the heck the thought process was to bring back Ben behind a very very green oline?  It literally makes zero sense from a football aspect… a statue that can’t move, isn’t very accurate etc behind a line that was going to have growning pains…. it just to give him a swann song?
Zeise
12:06
I’ve said many times it made no sense especially with Matt Canada and not Randy Fichtner
Bob
12:07
lets be honest.    What made 7 a stud was extending plays and being an athlete….    He was never going to outwork you/be in film room ….   Once his gift went away… he’s just a guy.    Now he legitimately is a bottom 5 qb….   Andy Dalton can make better throws and DECISIONS with the ball…. He literally can’t even read a defense properly right now
Zeise
12:08
I agree he did a great job of covering sins and flaws of the team when he could make something from nothing
Mercury

Is Tomlin mentioning Ben’s hip injury his convenient “out” if he decides to pull him?
Zeise
12:08
I don’t know - it seemed like Ben was limping pretty good yesterday

Hi Paul, what do you consider the working relationship to be between Tomlin and the OC?  The OC appears smug and Tomlin doesn’t look like he suffers fools.
Zeise
12:09
I will be shocked if Canada is around beyond this year
Rungame0
12:11
Hi Paul, do you think the kicker is physically unable to get touchbacks on kickoffs?
Zeise
12:12
I don’t think so I think there is a strategy involved with kicking it short and trying to  induce a short return.
MTScott
12:12
Seems to be a lot of confusion within the Steelers organization regarding QB, Offensive Strategy, etc.  Why would Steelers want BB back if they aren’t going to fully utilize his skills (no huddle, audibles, etc)???  Why would BB want to come back to play in this new system???  Seems like a Square Peg vs Round Hole issue!
Zeise
12:15
I agree 100 percent. Bringing Ben back and not Fichtner was stupid

Paul, after 5-10 years in ACC play, I’m having trouble picking out Pitt’s biggest football rival. Has a rivalry developed between Pitt and another team that I missed?
Zeise
12:16
Maybe Syracuse? In theory they are supposed to be
Jay
12:16
Paul, if the Steelers continue to falter offensively, do you think they will make changes to their current offense during the bye week?  What would those changes be?
Zeise
12:16
I don’t know Tomlin is very stubborn
Rungame0
12:17
Paul, could the college World Series champions best the 2021 Pirates in a series?
Zeise
12:18
Come on man
Rungame0

Does it bug you Heinz Field is used eight or nine  times a year for regular season football and they can’t even get enough energy to put something in the south end zone?  Please look at the other 31 nfl fields for comparison.  The only thing it is is quaint and archaic.
Zeise
12:19
Isn’t that part of the charm of the Steelers? No cheerleaders, no frills
ErnHartnerMr305

The Steelers' early season struggles have exposed some terrible conflicts in the Pittsburgh media. In particular, this idea that Ben's two missed throws to JuJu were at all "catchable" is absurd. I have reviewed the tape of those two throws over thirty times and I simply cannot understand how anyone could suggest they were catchable. I believe Ben deserves to be handled with dignity in his final year, no matter his play, but why do certain journalists feel compelled to throw under players under the bus in trying to defend him? #KEEPITREAL
Zeise
12:20
Apparently Team Ben is the team you want to be on if you cover the team! No seriously it is just certain guys defend him no matter what
Yuri
12:20
Hello Paul.  Do you know why the Pirates’ minor league manager was let go?  Thank you Paul.
Zeise
12:21
Someone needs to be the fall guy and it was Eckstein and him
ErnHartnerMr305
12:23
Would Eric Kasperowicz have been a better hire as Steelers OC than Matt Canada?
Zeise
12:24
When people make suggestions like this it makes me wonder if they really understand how good of a coach you have to be to be in the NFL. A high school coach would be completely overmatched
Mercury
12:25
Who will end up with the higher winning percentage this year, Steelers or Pirates?
Zeise
12:25
I think the Steelers will be close to .500
Carl in Carrick
12:25
Hi Paul, my hat is off  to Coach Sullivan…gets hit in the head with puck, needs 6 stitches and returns to the bench. These hockey guys are tough!
Zeise
12:27
That was insane but he is indeeed a tough guy
James
12:27
Do you think the steelers are allowing Ben to get beat by putting this offensive line in front. Motivate him to retired or force him on IR to finish his career. We know Ben would play also long as they allow him. He already said he loves playing the game win or lose he don't care.
Zeise
12:28
No that’s a whole lot of black helicopter level conspiracy for me
Alan from Indy
12:28
Not regretting the move to go after Minkah Fitzpatrick two years ago but is he worth big money to resign next year? I’d rather see better tackling and tight coverage from him than waiting on splash plays.
Zeise
12:29
I would not give him the $80 million guarantee or whatever he thinks he is supposed to get
Donna

Hi Paul.  In the Bengals game, Tyler Boyd bounced off a shoulder tackle by Ingram and scored.  Was Ingram fined for not tackling Boyd “properly”?  If not, should he have been fined?  Shoulder tackles land those like it look great if the runner goes down, but if he doesn’t, it costs additional yardage.  Thanks Paul.
