Are Joey Porter Jr., George Pickens the Steelers under most pressure? Justin Fields close behind?
In his weekly YouTube appearance, Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise joins host Adam Bittner to analyze which Steelers are under the most pressure in 2024. Is Russell Wilson the obvious choice as the presumptive starting quarterback? Do depth issues put players like Joey Porter Jr. and George Pickens squarely in the spotlight? Does Justin Fields need to impress quickly to justify a contract extension? Is it time to expect turnovers from Minkah Fitzpatrick now that DeShon Elliott and Patrick Queen look poised to fill holes in run defense? And does Queen's big free agent deal immediately bring scrutiny with it? Our duo explores those topics and more. Among them: Is the Pirates' 5-1 start another mirage amid issues with the starting rotation? Or can Mitch Keller, Martin Perez, Bailey Falter, Marco Gonzales and Jared Jones turn things around enough to fight for a playoff berth. And over at Pitt, is criticism of Bub Carrington's NBA draft announcement warranted? Or is it what coach Jeff Capel needed to do to see his program to top prospects as a viable path to the pros?
