I probably would have moved on from the hitting coach but I understand why they didn’t. This was a first year staff operating in a pandemic year - there were a lot of things going against them

Is playing zone defense in the endzone the only thing dumber than goaline defense that doesn't tell the LB to follow the TE if he releases?  Everyteam does this and it baffles me why players don't know that they must pick up the man who is standing in their "zone"!
Zeise
3:28
It isn’t the scheme it is more the execution. If players execute their assignments they will make the play

hi Paul,   Do the Steelers scout for punters for the draft. Or just look for free agents. Is the Ray Guys the thing of the past. I think punters area valuable weapon. What’s your take?  Tks
Zeise
3:30
Beach when teams had 15 rounds of draft choices or whatever they could take punters and kickers. Now with only 7 rounds it is tougher to justify even though punters and kickers are a huge part of the game

Paul, I've read over the last 2 weeks how Pitt always loses games they should win. I think we need to give the kids a pass this year because of the virus. Emotion in football is very important and I watched the Panthers jog out of the tunnel for the NC State game and I knew they were in trouble. How do you get up for a game when there's nobody to cheer you on? Even as a viewer I don't get as emotionally involved without the entire game ambiance.
Zeise
3:31
You are joking right? Do your job. The kids from NC State and BC figured out how to get up for a game

Another thing, Paul. Narduzzi and his coaches have gotten a lot of criticism for the 2 losses but he didn't drop the 2 point conversion pass that Tasir Mack did against NC State and he didn't miss 2 field goals and an extra point against BC, Kessman did. If those 2 miscues don't happen Pitt could easily be 5-0 or at worst 4-1. Plus, against NC State the Quarterback Leary was en fuego. He couldn't miss all day. I will say though that they better get a running game and real soon !
Zeise
3:32
Wow, a true believer. Pitt loves you for that I’m sure. I just wish you would come back to earth

Was there any outcry about Brady throwing yet another tantrum on the sideline and calling out teammates...followed up by embarrassingly not knowing the down on the last drive of the game?  Seems to me if it was Ben, or another QB who fit a narrative it would have been the national narrative this week.
Zeise
3:33
Brady gets plenty of criticism for the way he berates his teammates or whatever. This idea he gets a free pass is ridiculous
CS
3:34
Why is Todd Sibley not getting a bigger opportunity as a RB?
Zeise
3:34
He must not be getting it done at practice. The opportunities should be there for someone in that backfield to seize the job but nobody has

Will Tunch Ilkin’s ALS diagnosis bring more attention to this horrible disease?
Zeise
3:35
I would think so. He is a high profile person and will be active in the fight against it as well as bringing awareness to it
MD

What do you think of the decision to give Heyward at 31 years old a lucrative extension?  Wouldn't that money have been better spent on Dupree who is more "unique" of an asset than a run stuffing interior lineman?
Zeise
3:36
No I think Heyward still has a lot to give at a position that it is difficult to find dominant players at

Mr. Zeise, are you aware that your account is past due? We are shutting off your service until full receipt of your balance, which is $1,507.63, not including late fees. Have a great day.
Zeise
3:37
Lol, if that’s the balance I’m gonna need a payment plan!!
ssa76
3:37
have you tried unplugging it and then plugging it back in?
Zeise
3:37
The issue was not internal but external and beyond my control
Tina
3:38
With the receiving depth and Steelers possibly not extending JuJu, is it possible he is traded for help on the offensive line, inside linebacker or secondary?   Thanks.
Zeise
3:39
I don’t think so. I think he will be allowed to go away as a free agent. I can’t see them fitting him under the cap
Matt from LA
3:39
Lebron or M.J., GOAT? My vote goes for M..J.! Can't argue with 6 for 6!
Zeise
3:39
MJ is the GOAT. Everyone else is jockeying for second.
Matt from LA

Pitt hoops...something to get excited about?
Zeise
3:41
Yes I do believe that it is. I think given the wilderness the program has been wandering in the fact that this team can finally get back to being competitive and really compete for an NCAA spot should be exciting
Carl
3:41
Hi Paul...do you think the Steelers may be interested in drafting Pitt’s center Morrissey es
Zeise
3:42
If they are looking to replace Pouncey that wouldn’t be a bad move. I just don’t know if that is a priority yet
iowasteelersfan
3:42
For the Steelers - who do you predict will be our receptions, yards, and TD leader by seasons end?
Zeise
3:43
I still think JuJu will have the most yards and receptions but Chase Claypool will have the most receiving touchdowns
Jerry
3:44
Hey Paul! Why when the Steelers blitz the corners are playing ten yards off the man. Giving them yards. Ravens play tight up on the man when they blitz.
Zeise
3:45
Different philosophies but I do think the Steelers need to tighten up their coverage more. But again they ask their corners to do a lot so they try to protect them from getting beat deep
V. Fontaine

The Sibande situation could be a bit of karma coming back at Pitt for the Cam Johnson transfer.
Zeise
3:45
Nah I think he will be ultimately made eligible. It would be absurd if he isn’t
Jeff
3:46
Shabby internet means more Zeise!
Zeise
3:46
This is definitely true as I’ve answered every question!
V. Fontaine
3:46
I don't be overly critical of Mike Hilton but do you think Cam Sutton should be getting more snaps on defense instead of Hilton? Is there something in Sutton that they don't trust?
Zeise
3:47
They like Hilton and think he is perfect for that role. Sutton has never caught on for some reason

As a former boyfriend of Amanda, you are right! NO ONE would be dumb enough to marry her!
