Hi Paul , is this the End for Big Ben...or injuries , OC and Oline at fault.
Zeise
12:34
He can’t play any more. He is done
Darnell
12:34
Hey Paul, looking forward to Koepka and DeChambeau facing off for 12 holes?  I’m guessing they’re not playing 18 because tv time limits.
Zeise
12:35
I have no interest in these contrived nonsensical made for TV golf matches
Rowdy Yates
12:35
Paul, are you a pro wrestling fan like your co-worker Josh Taylor is?  He seems really into the WWE.  Thanks.
Zeise
12:35
I used to be
It is too hokey for me now
Kyle
12:35
Hey Paul.  How’s the Pitt hoops team shaping up?  Are there any more recruits that may be added for the upcoming season?  Thank you.
Zeise
12:36
I think the team is unknown. The roster is so new that it is hard to know what they will look like. Should be an interesting season
Bernard
12:36
Has your opinion of the Green pick changed after the first 4 games?  Is he just too small to be an effective NFL center?
Zeise
12:37
No I likw him, I think he is going to be a very good player with some time and experience. He has good feet

I'm curious. In your opinion, is Kenny Pickett a legit NFL  quarterback? And would the Steelers be interested in someone like him? He seems to have all the necessary tools and appears to be a smart guy.
Zeise
12:40
Absolutely. He has played really well this year. He showed he can make all the throws and play from the pocket. He has a good arm and he is a winner
Jj
12:40
Who are some of the college QB's the Steelers are scouting?  Hope there are some good ones.
Zeise
12:40
It is a terrible year for quarterbacks. Pickett may be the best one
Bernard
12:40
So I rarely agree with Mark Madden but I think he's right when he calls out Steelers fans over their general treatment of Ben.
Zeise
12:41
What are you talking about? Steelers fans love Ben. He is just done that’s all
Bernard
12:41
So Devin Bush is a bust and a jerk?  Or just a bust or just a jerk?
Zeise
12:42
Neither. He just hasn’t played up to a top ten player. But he has been solid, not a bust
Joe
12:43
You got the Pens being a playoff team this season, Paul? Your colleagues who cover them have them eking out a playoff spot in the Metro. I’m skeptical
Zeise
12:45
I think they still have enough in the tank - goalie, coach, aging stars - there is just enough to get to the playoffs
Bernard
12:45
Worse pick given relative slot and capital given up - Bush or Edmunds?
Zeise
12:46
Wow, Bush is a better player but they gave a lot for him
Gloria S,
12:46
Hello Paul.  Mike Lange’s well-deserved retirement has made me wonder who might replace Billy Hilgrove when he retires?  Any thoughts regarding the Steelers/Panthers broadcasting jobs?  Thank you Paul!
Zeise
12:47
I mean I would think Rob King would have a chance at the Pitt jobs. The Steelers will probably have to go outside the market for a play by play guy
Moving
12:47
Do you think the Rays are really serious about splitting seasons between Tampa Bay and Montreal? The players should hate needing to have two in season homes and having either to uproot or leave their families at mid season. They'll need to pay taxes in two countries. Can the Union stop it? I went to an Expos game in the mid '90s. I seriously think there might have been more people paid to be than ones who paid, kind of like Tampa. Neither city has committed to building a stadium and why would they for half a season? If the Rays want to move wouldn't it make more sense to go to Las Vegas or Charlotte etc. completely?
Coach O
12:48
I believe Paul you have been a fan of Florida State so regarding Bobby Bowden,  in your opinion what intangible or intrinsic traits did he possess to build and sustain a top 5 program that has fallen off a cliff with the coaches that have succeeded him. Is it just a personality that attracts talented kids or a “ leader of men” kinda vibe? I use him as an example  but even on a high school level, what makes a Bill Cherpak successful long term vs other coaches. Has talented kids yes but lot of other kids in the south hills area that go to neighboring schools who don’t have near the success as TJ year after year.
Zeise
12:49
He recruited well and he did a great job of maintaining a relationship with the administration. These guys are all terrible at dealing with the administration
Bernard
12:49
Dulac seems to be calling out Canada and defending Ben - do you agree generally?  Canada hire seemed boneheaded from the get go.  He failed at LSU, modest success at best Pitt and NC St.  Why the heck did anyone think he'd excel as an NFL OC?
Zeise
12:50
I don’t pay attention to that stuff enough to make a judgement
Bernard
12:50
Jaguar players are upset that their coach was in a bar flirting with women.  Uh ok . . .
Zeise
12:50
Yeah that is the dumbest controversy ever. He never needed to apologize
Bernard
12:52
What's the one immediate change you'd make to Steelers - could be game planning, scheme, players?  I'd run more two tight end sets and stick to trying to establish the run early.  And both your TEs are capable receivers (Ebron has drop issues but so do all the WRs).
Zeise
12:53
Bench the quarterback. Commit to running the ball. Commit to playing more structured and fundamental offensive football
Ryan
12:54
Good afternoon Paul three things who scores the first touchdown for the Steelers Sunday I’m going with Claypool was Joe Haden offsides and who scores first goal for the penguins next Tuesday I’m going with rust from letang and Carter
Zeise
12:55
Najee Harris, Haden was not offsides and I have Kaspari Kapanen
Johnny Cakes
12:55
Should Ben make a disability claim and go on IR. He seems to be hurt pretty bad.
Zeise
12:55
No that’s bit extreme. He should just be benched
Greg
12:56
If Tuitt stays on IR and does not play this year, can the Steelers keep his injury a secret forever?  Could you imagine if it were Ben and there was no word provided as to how it happened, what it was, and when he may return.  Would the press ask more questions then?  Why so quiet on this, he had 10 sacks last year.
Zeise
12:57
I think it has to do with his family situation . And they are going to give him all the time in the world
