    Pitt Week 2: D Steps Up

    It wasn't pretty, but Pitt pulled out a 12-7 win over UCF in a rain delayed-monsoon on Saturday. The defense played great but how much can we take from this game and what does this tell us about the team moving forward? Pitt has a quick turnaround for the Thursday night game against Syracuse so we walked through both sides of the ball, called out a concern on defense and made our predictions for Thursday.

    2026 Steelers Season Preview: Division Champions Being Slept On?

    Joe and Justin return on Out of Town Yinzers for a full 2026 Pittsburgh Steelers season preview! Despite winning the AFC North and hosting a playoff game in 2025, Pittsburgh enters the new season widely overlooked. The guys evaluate whether this 2026 roster is genuinely improved, highlighting the overhauled wide receiver core with DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., and rookie Jeremy Bernard, along with a refreshed offensive coaching scheme under Mike McCarthy. They also address lingering offensive concerns, including Aaron Rodgers entering his age-42 season, right tackle development, and the lack of top-tier skill talent. On the defensive side, the show examines Patrick Graham's usage of versatile defensive looks, the edge rusher rotation with T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, Nick Herbig, and Jack Sawyer, and front-seven depth featuring Gabriel Rubio. However, concerns remain regarding T.J. Watt's trajectory, the age of key veterans like Cam Heyward and Jalen Ramsey, safety depth following DeShon Elliott's injury, and inside linebacker run defense. To close out, Joe and Justin lock in their over/under wagers for Aaron Rodgers' passing yards, Jalen Warren's rushing output, and receiving totals for Metcalf and Pittman before giving their final AFC North standings predictions.
