    HOUR 3 - Minkah crushes Tomlin, Jeff Hathhorn, Debrief

    Did Mike Tomlin ‘ruin’ Minkah Fitzpatrick? The former Steelers safety talked about why he wasn’t utilized correctly in Pittsburgh in his final season or so. He says he’s at his best moving all over the field in different roles, but we didn’t see that from Fitzpatrick in his last few years with the team. Minkah could have played centerfield for the Pirates given where the Steelers had him lined up. The guys are intrigued by Patrick Graham leading the defense because he may not be stuck into ideas of the past. There seems to be more and more examples of players not used in their best ways under Tomlin. How often will we see the 3 top edge rushers on the field at the same time? 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff thinks Will Howard has to have 3 good games in the preseason to take over as QB2 in the battle against Mason Rudolph. Jeff said Mason is going about this as a professional, which has been common over his time in Pittsburgh. Jeff explained the trickiness of the evaluation for the coaches when it comes to backup QB. Jeff said Drew Allar is the one QB that has nothing to lose in the Steelers QB room. Jeff expects to see a lot of Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard last night because he isn’t confident DK Metcalf or Michael Pittman suit up. Has Lew Nichols thrown a wrench into the RB3 battle? Jeff told the guys we could see Broderick Jones play both tackle spots tomorrow night. Jeff doubts Max Iheanachor will play and why that puts him behind the 8-ball to be the starter at right tackle. The guys asked how much we will see Robert Spears-Jennings, who has taken advantage of some camp opportunities. Why has Spencer Anderson been mostly untested at right guard? Jeff explained why we haven’t heard much about Gennings Dunker so far. Donny Football Debrief – CBS Sports ranked all 138 FBS programs heading into 2026. Who was 1? Where did Pitt, Penn State and WVU land?

    HOUR 2 - Arth impressed w. Allar, Big one for PSU fans, Mike Florio

    Tom Arth is one of the multiple Steelers coaches to speak highly of Drew Allar throughout training camp so far. It sounds like Allar has taken a few steps since rookie minicamp when we saw video of him being completely torn down to start over his process. How much will we find out about Allar tomorrow night? Who could we compare Allar too? For a QB that failed time and time again in college, is this game bigger than one against Ohio State? The guys didn’t think Allar was ever the best player on the field in college. Is tomorrow night a big one for Penn State fans? Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike confirmed that he was in Canton last night ahead of the Hall of Fame Game. Did Chris Berman lose his ass? Mike explained why Baker Mayfield could be the Steelers QB in 2027 and why he could actually sign for less money than expected. If Mayfield does come here, how good could he be? Mike made waves by telling the Pardon My Take guys that the Steelers could trade Aaron Rodgers at this year’s deadline if they get off to a rotten start – what was his reasoning? Mike thinks things between Mike McCarthy and his QB could become ‘very combustible very quickly’ like they did at the end of their time together in Green Bay. Mike believes the Steelers, like every year since Ben Roethlisberger retired, need to look into all options next offseason at QB, assuming Rodgers is done after this one. Mike’s guess it that Tua Tagovailoa will be the Falcons starting QB Week 1 in Pittsburgh, saying it’s Tua’s job to lose at this point.
