Do any of the experts think the Steelers are a playoff team? How bad is it for the Steelers if they are 8-9 and not even a team with a winning record? The world has also discovered, from the man himself, that Mike Tomlin is a Minecraft fan and has been playing the game for roughly 12 years.
Future Pro Football HOFer Patrick Peterson joined the show. Pat said he’d be ‘pretty ticked off’ if he saw another corner get big money while he was left without a new deal. Pat thinks Joey Porter Jr. and Christian Gonzalez are ‘essentially the same player.’ Pat has had the feeling for a while that Porter wouldn’t get his deal. Pat talked about how Porter could be viewed and valued in the Steelers’ eyes. Pat lauded Peezy for improving in key parts of his game since he began his career. How big of a deal is it to follow the WR1 everywhere he goes on a Sunday? Pat, who mentored Porter during his stint in Pittsburgh, advised Joey to ‘bite the bullet and play’ against the Falcons. Pat thinks the Steelers may have a point if they don’t think Porter fits their new defensive scheme. Pat would rank Porter among the best corners in football like some of the others that have gotten big contracts this offseason. Pat said he can’t see Mike Tomlin playing Minecraft, or any video game for that matter – he thinks he’s doing what he’s meant to do right now. How much advice is Joey Porter Sr. providing his son in these contract talks?
