Nothing better than a Steelers win, followed by a steel here episode the next day

[@kevinadams2686]

Hell yeah. Nothing I love more than winning and then getting to hop on the mic and shoot the shit about it.

[@TheEvangelist3]

THE AMOUNT OF LOVE I HAVE FOR THIS PODCAST IS INSANE

[@kevinadams2686]

You been a rider since day 1. I’ve paid attention and appreciate it.

[@keychain4206]

As a bears fan, I was a huge fields supporter and I can say that fields recent success is due to being on a team that is professional and a professional coaching staff. An OC that can develop a young QB. The Bears had a lot of problems his first 3 years. Change of scenery is what he needed. I wish the best for Fields and hope he brings good fortune to the team!

[@kevinadams2686]

He shows such flashes of greatness it’s hard to not believe he can be a freak if cultivated.

[@TylerHooser-h2v]

HOW ABOUT FRAIZER!!!!!! You gotta love seeing this play we havent seen since Pouncey. You even heard Romo talking up 54!

[@NpcAvoider]

Frazier is an ELITE center. Already looking like a pro bowler unreal

[@willr4880]

Might have to get a Frazier jersey

[@aliciaandgregrunnels5876]

Yeah, thats an excellent point!! It’s easy to get lost in the sauce with Fields and the defense.

[@aliciaandgregrunnels5876]

Dude just say sweat buckets.

He’s the real deal and finally FINALLY we have a dog.

[@franko412_pgh]

Yo you guys need to make this podcast all year round this thing can blow up my favorite Steelers show and it’s not even close

[@kevinadams2686]

Yeah it’s something we’ve discussed. We will revisit after the year! Thank you!

[@Paxx35]

I love the fact that the team is finally making adjustments at the half. We have not seen that in a very long time!!! give the coaching staff credit

[@PhilippeGuay-se2ri]

Hey guys. I really love your show and intensity. So fun and cathartic. Started to watch last year. Steelers nation is around the world and huge in Québec Can. I live in Montréal and I've been a Steelers since end of 70s. We had the games then too. Now we have the US and french speaking networks .. and DAZN to follow the/my team. Im totally crazy as I follow them all year long via Pittsburgh post gazette and the Fan radio station. You guys are great. Fantastic work and passion. Merci beaucoup. Philippe.

[@kevinadams2686]

Hey thanks buddy!

Best Steelers podcast out there! Fields is HIM, LFGGGGG!

[@kevinadams2686]

Appreciate that!

[@leveraged6694]

If Fields can continue to play like that we are going to be unstoppable.

[@kevinadams2686]

Absolutely we are.

[@huntera2577]

Fields is the future for sure. MOF and intermediate passing was a struggle for him in Chicago. He looked amazing at it against Chargers. The development is for real now.

[@jakeyeiler4324]

This show is the air in my lungs. The blood in my veins. It gives me life. I love you guys. Kev you are the realest fan I’ve ever met. Love you guys! Great episode.

lol appreciate that.

[@Beermalls]

Yeah clock draining drives! Then a 10 Point lead late in the 4th! Hot on the field! “ Finish Him” a couple solid runs by Najee and Patterson it was over for Em!

[@Lime1995]

It’s so nice starting every week coming off a win lads🙌 I look around the league and there is not many times the Steelers should be scared off (maybe barring the bills and chiefs!) this season is wide open.. class show as always boys💪

[@chrisc5389]

Def my fav Steelers podcast. They always keep it real 💪🏽💯

[@kevinadams2686]

It’s not always pretty, but I try to keep it real and so does Jerry. Thank you!

[@scottpeskowitz]

That was an all around great team win. I think Fields remains the starter unless he gets hurt. Wilson at the end of the season is not a bad thing

[@Ghost-304]

Wilson can’t come in 2nd half of season when schedule is brutal without playing before then . Ravens , Browns, Bengals twice also Eagles and Chiefs in that 2nd half of season. Wilson has to get caught up to speed before then 100% . Wilson should be playing by Raiders , Jets, giants or Washington game . Before that brutal schedule

[@kevinadams2686]

Yep. All 3 phases. Complete team win.

[@schultzywillpa26]

The cam heyward slander wasnt warranted. He’s that dude.

[@Tdawgg23]

His run stop metrics were up there with Aaron Donald before last years injury , causals just don’t know how good he is

[@kevinadams2686]

For 15m a season, he’s an absolute steal. He dominated yesterday after watching it back.

[@heymd86]

Let's go boys! Steeler Nation in 🇨🇦

[@kevinadams2686]

We’re world wide!

[@battistimo]

Very satisfying win, but the concern is the injuries to key players are starting to pile up. Chargers didn’t have Bosa, that’s their Watt, can’t overlook that. Yes, a good D, but they were missing a key piece.

[@kevinadams2686]

Agreed. But you can only play who is out there. Injuries worry me but gotta just keep riding. Everybody has them.

[@yourdumbeyes]

It wasn’t just Bosa. The Chargers lost LT Rashawn Slater near the end of the first half and the second he wasn’t there in the second half, Herbert got destroyed and had to come out of the game. So they had no LT, no QB; and then eventually lost RT Joe Alt. It doesn’t mean the Steelers don’t have a great defense but do you honestly think Pittsburgh wins if the same Chargers team from the first half is there the second half? Be honest

[@steelersgrl2772]

What in the actual hell is happening?! Are we back?! I live in Cincinnati and I have been taking a beating from these fans behind enemy lines. I now go to sleep to the Bungles fans cries again and it’s FABULOUS! 💪🏼🖤💛🏈 Great show fellas!

[@NeweraGolf]

Mike tomlin is one of the only coaches ever to have a winning record w back up QBs and the other Coaches on the list have such a small sample size it’s hard to even compare but he’s a defensive coach, sure, but he instill confidence and breaks downs film well those 2 things I think are huge

[@codysanders926]

Fellas!! Big test yesterday!! Next week a big test too by being able to handle business the way we should!

[@kevinadams2686]

4-0 would be absolutely massive.

[@jamesarcaro2575]

Best steelers pod. Keep killing it boys🔥

[@kevinadams2686]

Thanks buddy!

[@YellaYaLuggage]

Here's a stat I saw someone post on X; the Steelers defense is 20th in "pass rush snaps" but 3rd in sacks.

[@kevinadams2686]

They’re generating pressure without bringing the house. Makes it sooo hard to play against.

[@hannahackerman9720]

Russ to the fins for waddle let’s make it happen!!

[@jeffhewitt2819]

Waddle was a 1st round pick, not happening.

[@MCHammmer34]

Wishful thinking they wouldn’t give that up Russ most the Steelers could get would be like a 4th which could recoupe what we will lose for Justin

[@accountone1598]

Broderick Jones has all-pro potential at LT if he could just stay at LT without moving around. He's currently out of position at RT. Fautanu flashed serious potiential at RT in the Denver start. He was PFF player of the game. No pressures allowed in 29 pass protection snaps, and beaten only once in 26 run-blocking snaps, with no penalties. An OL interior of Seumalo, Frazier and Daniels is just plain nasty.

[@JohnDavis087]

Both tds our defense gave up this season were blown coverages 🔥🔥

[@kevinadams2686]

Some harder tests the next few weeks with cowboys and jets.. I can’t wait to see how we respond.

Victory Monday with the fellas

[@kevinadams2686]

Nothing like a victory Monday.

[@LittleBitofCoin]

Herbert played up until midway thru 3rd quarter I think. They only got that TD due to a rare blown coverage by jpj. So think we still would've won with Herbert in the whole game. Roman wilson hopefully will make his debut this week. Another speedy wr for us

[@Brioche-yuh]

Dont forget what Jerry said last week

[@LittleBitofCoin]

steel curtain 2.0 is here! 🎉 Justin is qb #1 for sure. 3-0 baby!! 🖤💛🏈🔥

[@codysanders926]

Last thing, fact of the matter is our style of football is and always has been sustainable as long as we can move the ball. Difference between this year and post Ben era, we are punting like 3 times a game now. We don’t force our D to play 40+ minutes a game we can absolutely keep this style of football all up.

[@kevinadams2686]

That’s just it. Keep getting first downs, let the defense get wind; they can beat anybody that way.

[@Hashim00]

[@kevinadams2686]

How huge would that be if he is. No more searching. Time to win again.

[@Ghost-304]

It’s great that Fields didn’t get in his head when throwing a pick . Fields has to believe in his self and continue to play smart ball .

[@kevinadams2686]

I agree. That’s the big thing. Didn’t rattle him. Just kept doing his thing. Picks will happen. Keep fighting.

Thank you! I couldn’t be more hype.

[@BrandonBaker-r7f]

Any concern with injuries to the CB room? I know Trice was ruled out with a Hamstring, and I would’ve really liked to see him build on his game last week. I think Jackson was out for a bit as well, but ended up coming back.

[@kevinadams2686]

Gotta hope they’re not long term injuries and just dings. Remember we get Sutton after the bye week too. Injuries always worry me. But gotta keep plugging and pray they’re minor.

[@BrandonBaker-r7f]

@@kevinadams2686 Completely forgot about Sutton. He would slide more in to that Beanie Bishop role as the nickel corner though right? I don’t remember him playing much outside in Pittsburgh, not sure about Detroit.

[@DougShauger-ov8pj]

He has to pass the ball like today !14 yards rushing in first half and Fields kept chains moving with hi arm! We can beat anyone if we get that passing with 4th quarter running we saw yesterday!!!

[@kevinadams2686]

If he figures it out like he did yesterday, he’s a force because his legs are always a threat too.

[@hockenberry82]

Technically we're playing on the backup to Russell.... Hard to say who is better now, don't have anything on tape on Russ... So whoever is the backup is just as good if not better.... Is the STEEL CURTAIN back, -5yards total second half defense ....

[@kevinadams2686]

-5 yards is absolutely insane.

[@Ghost-304]

Defense has to stay healthy this year 1000% . The defense is heart of ths team and this team needs everyone healthy

[@kevinadams2686]

Agreed. Healthy is most important after the bye week for the gauntlet.

[@patrickhiretennis]

Great Team Win. Love the show. I'll comment on the WR talk and doubt. Is Aiyuk a great player? Yes, he is solid. But I don't think with the Steelers' offense and their style, he would come in and be a game changer. We are going to grind and break down defenses in the 4th quarter with the finisher #84 Patterson. He has fresh legs at the end of the game and the MAN runs hard. Also, don't sleep on Warren. He will be just fine. The team is built for playoff football.

[@kevinadams2686]

You’re damn right Patrick! And yeah I want another elite WR but idk how much value they’d have. We def need one more elite option though.

I love this show how do I see the live streams

[@Ghost-304]

Whoever it is Fields or Russ comes in during that brutal 2nd half of season then if they lose the talk will be well should’ve played the other QB that’s how it’s going to be put blame on other. It’s actually great Russ is keeping legs fresh for 2nd half of season and body not beat up etc .

[@Ghost-304]

Absolutely makes no sense saying Russ can go to Dolphins and win games for dolphins if that’s the case then Steelers can win games with him as well. Especially with that Steelers Defense

[@kevinadams2686]

There’s a fanatics rep who is a follower of mine and sends me shit before they release. I think this hat is out now though!

[@Ghost-304]

Tomlin should keep saying what he is saying because it’s allowing Fields to go out and play great Fb to prove his self instead of being over confident being QB1 . It’s working what Tomlin is saying .

[@kevinadams2686]

Why fix what ain’t broken. Just feel like eventually fields will force him to come out and say it.

Yes, Fields has been looking better with each game. I want to see Rus less and less. If Fields keep it up, I'd be down with trading him, too.

I’ll say it again Steelers win when they run the ball to work the clock and keep defense fresh instead of 3 & outs under 2 min keeping defense constantly on field. Also CA3 will have big year this year if given the opportunity with his speed CA3, Pickens , Muth , they can make plays .

[@BrandonBaker-r7f]

What are y’all’s thoughts on Warren? I think his hamstring is worse than what was led on. Luckily they haven’t needed him as much the first 3 weeks, but we’re gonna need him the back half of the season. Hopefully if they continue to play winning football they can let him heal up. I just know he adds another dimension to the running game and the offense as a whole. Credit to Patterson for coming in and making plays though.

[@kevinadams2686]

I think they’re slowly easing him back in because of the hammy. Which I’m fine with. Patterson has been good too.

[@slurricayne3447]

Herbig has to split reps with Alex. I also love Alex but you can’t leave Herbig on the sideline for 75% of the game anymore. Too useful.

[@garrettstryzs3872]

Could Herbig win the job?

[@BrandonBaker-r7f]

I was thinking that as well. Highsmith has been the beneficiary of having Watt get the majority of the attention on the other side. I don’t think he’s put up nearly the numbers he should have. Seems like everytime Herbig is in he’s getting after the QB making plays.

[@garrettstryzs3872]

@@BrandonBaker-r7f Agree. I think Highsmith has the advantage in the run game because of size but Herbig has to be on the field on 3rd downs

We broke the chargers lol Herbert, bosa (brod took him out 1st quarter), slater & alt injured too. Brod played much better. I think they should prob keep jones at RT & move Troy to LT next year as brod will have played more rt than Lt in college. Great show again boys. 3-0 baby! 🎉

[@Ghost-304]

No way Steelers let Russ go if they do it will be one the dumbest moves in NfL history, Steelers got Russ and Fields for nothing and if Fields goes down god forbid then u have elite veteran in Russ to lead this team going forward. U can’t let Russ go then Allen ends up having to come in finish seaosn it’s just not going work out. Steelers have to atleast see what Russ can do imo he puts up better numbers than Fields. Fields really hasn’t been tested yet like he’s goifn to in few weeks

Jerry is so negative it’s actually infuriating.

[@selaxlife7621]

He's like me....after awhile of being let down so much u become very skeptical. It's a defense mechanism ur body does to keep itself from being hurt over and over again. I get it. It's only football but it does hurt man.....
