    Mar 25 2026
    Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers.

What do we make of the Darnell Savage situation, now that it seems like he will be joining the team? Let's go for another Steelers Afternoon Drive and discuss all this!

    Steelers Seeking Top-10 Trade-Up? | Steelers Morning Rush
    Mar 25 2026
    Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's a follow-up to Tuesday's episode, where we talked about the top of the 2026 NFL Draft class, which is littered players from positions that don't necessarily have a value that has been traditionally associated with high draft picks since the NFL's changes to the rookie pay scale in 2011. So what does that mean when it comes to the Steelers and potentially trading up for players like Caleb Downs, Jeremiyah Love, Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles? Alan breaks it down.

  • Analyzing Steelers Pre-Draft Interest | Steelers Afternoon Drive

    Analyzing Steelers Pre-Draft Interest | Steelers Afternoon Drive
    Mar 24 2026
    Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss what to make of the teams' pre-draft interest. The schedule has been light in regard to pro day outings as well as bringing prospects in for pre-draft visits. Is this something that should raise our eyebrows? We also discuss upcoming rule changes on the table at owners' meetings, Omar going to the Ohio State pro day, Jordan Tyson working out ahead of the NFL Draft and if JJ McCarthy is worth taking a flier on. Finally, does Devon Witherspoon impact Joey Porter Jr.'s contract extension and does Mike McCarthy have a type at QB? Let's go for another Steelers Afternoon Drive and discuss all this!

    Positional Value Out the Window? | Steelers Morning Rush
    Mar 24 2026
    Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the top of the 2026 NFL Draft class, which is littered players from positions that don't necessarily have a value that has been traditionally associated with high draft picks since the NFL's changes to the rookie pay scale in 2011. But that hasn't stopped players like Caleb Downs, Jeremiyah Love, Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles from being some of the most-sought-after prospects in the class. Why is that happening and what does it mean? Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Resetting Draft Needs | Steelers Afternoon Drive
    Mar 23 2026
    Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we reset the teams' needs leading up to the NFL Draft following what they accomplished in free agency. Having added Brock Hoffman and Travis Homer since the last episode, do these depth signings have a role in boxes they need to check? What archetypes are they looking for at positions where they still do have needs? Let's go for another Steelers Afternoon Drive and discuss all this! Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Bad News for Kaleb Johnson? | Steelers Morning Rush

    Bad News for Kaleb Johnson? | Steelers Morning Rush
    Mar 23 2026
    Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the addition of veteran running back and special teamer Travis Homer, which might be bad news for 2025 third-round draft pick Kaleb Johnson. Johnson already appeared to be the third running back in the pecking order, stuffed behind former starter Jaylen Warrenand 1,000-yard acquisition Rico Dowdle, but Homer's special teams prowess will mean that he will likely get a helmet on game days, as well, making Johnson a potential healthy scratch. Could that lead the Steelers to fielding trade calls on Johnson? Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Infusion of Offense Coming? | Steelers Afternoon Drive
    Mar 20 2026
    Brendan Howe and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss if we think a massive philosophical change could be coming under Mike McCarthy, if free agency afforded the team the opportunity to trade up in the draft, if the team is missing a certain archetype within the DB room still and the team bringing back offensive lineman Ryan McCollum.

    Are Steelers Done in Free Agency? | Steelers Afternoon Drive
    Mar 19 2026
    Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss if we think the team is done in free agency. How much cap space does the team have and what is the amount of space they functionally have before they would need to do any restructuring of contracts? Is Roman Wilson's time with the Steelers coming to an end? What about Kaleb Johnson? Is it better to be comfortable with the floor or chase the ceiling in the first round of the NFL Draft?
