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.
