Smitty and Tyler discuss all the latest surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's that time of year! The NFL Draft is 7 weeks away and free agency starts next week. The NFL Combine is in the rear view, and we look ahead to pro days. We thought this would be the perfect time to jump into our first mock draft and see what boxes we can check. Is a trade back in Round 1 the path the Steelers should be looking to take? If Emeka Egbuka and Kenneth Grant are both on the board, which route would the tea...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins! On today's episode we discuss Kyle Dubas and the Pittsburgh Penguins continuing to make some moves ahead of the NHL Trade Deadline. The team sent recently acquired defenseman Vinny Desharnais to the San Jose Sharks for a 2028 5th round pick, clearing a 2026 salary in the process. They also sent Michael Bunting and a 2026h 4th round pick to the Nashville Predators in exchange for Tommy Novak and Luke Schenn. What else could the tea...

Smitty and Tyler talk all things Pittsburgh Pirates. The Pittsburgh Pirates season is near as we begin spring training! This is normally the time of year where we get excited for the upcoming season and false optimism is renewed! Does it feel differently this time around though? With the team not spending much in free agency despite the rotation they have, is there a reason to be excited? They did add even more to the rotation with the quality signing of LHP Andrew Heaney. What are we watching f...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins! The 4 Nations tournament concluded with Canada defeating the US in a thrilling finale to win it all. When the players care as much as they did, it's hard not to join them in being passionate about it. This tournament proved to be an awesome showcase and really set the stage for the next Olympics. The Penguins goaltending issues continue to rear their ugly head and show maybe there's something deeper at play here than Tristan Jarry...

Smitty and Tyler discuss all the latest surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers. The offseason is here, so why don't we walk you through what we believe would be the ideal offseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers?! We both go through current players on the roster we would extend such as TJ Watt and DeShon Elliott, if there is anybody such as Larry Ogunjobi we would cut and if there's any pending UFAs such as Justin Fields we would like to retain. We then dive into free agency where we'd like to check b...

Smitty and Tyler discuss all the latest surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's that time of the year folks! The Super Bowl is in the rearview mirror and the NFL Draft is not quite here. It's time where rumors come in abundance, and we are here to discuss some of the names we've heard linked to the team as the new league year approaches. With the salary cap set to balloon, the Steelers can be even bigger free agent spenders than we had already anticipated. Will they run it back with Russell Wi...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins! Kyle Dubas has made his first major trade of the season, sending Marcus Pettersson and Drew O'Connor to the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for a conditional first-round pick, Danton Heinen, Vincent Desharnais and Melvin Fernstrom. How do we evaluate this move and what does it say about the direction of the team? Could Dubas rebuild this club quicker than we thought? We also discuss the team's recent stretch and Sidney Crosby's uppe...

Smitty and Tyler discuss all the latest surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cleveland Browns superstar EDGE rusher Myles Garrett requested a trade this past week. A pillar for the team on and off the field, Myles has grown frustrated with the direction of the team and no longer believes in their vision. We discuss whether TJ Watt should feel the same way about the Steelers and if a similar move could make sense. The argument could be made that Garrett is giving the Browns an easy out to kicksta...

Smitty and Tyler discuss all the latest surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team has 24 players that are set to be either unrestricted free agents, restricted free agents or exclusive rights free agents in very short order here. This episode is simple. We are going to go through every name on the list and let you know if we think they will be back for the 2025-26 season. Russell Wilson or Justin Fields? Najee Harris or Jaylen Warren? Will Elandon Roberts return? Is it a foregone conclusion ...

Smitty and Tyler discuss all the latest surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode we tackle some questions from social media including going forward with Justin Fields as opposed to Russell Wilson, what that might look like from a financial perspective, adding offensive talent to the roster, Jim Rooney's comments, the idea of drafting Ashton Jeanty and if we'd give up our memories as Steelers fans to have the bright future of the Washington Commanders. Let's discuss all of this and...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins! The team has continued their up and down season, winning two of three since we last recorded. Alex Nedeljkovic made history by scoring a goal over the weekend. Marcus Pettersson has been a hot name on the NHL Trade Market and just might be playing his best hockey of his career as the deadline nears. Anthony Beauvillier has scored 12 goals this season and played a nice utility role for the Pens that could see him be utilized as a v...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins! The team has continued their season of high highs and low lows as of late. They seem allergic to closing out games. What works for them for the first 50 minutes just seems to totally collapse as the stakes get higher in the course of a game. How much change will this lead to? Well, it's already started. The team appears to finally have reached the point the fanbase did several seasons ago with Tristan Jarry, after placing him on w...

Smitty and Tyler discuss all the latest surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team's season has come to an end following another Wild Card weekend loss. This one came at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens and was the fifth consecutive loss for the team. We aren't here to discuss that specific game to much degree, but rather the bigger picture. Plenty are calling for Mike Tomlin's firing, but that's not happening. Let's dive into some change that could be impactful, and we do think could take p...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins! The team has put together a nice little stretch of hockey to find themselves sitting just outside of a wild card spot. They secured 5 of 6 possible points over the last week and continue to get scoring from up and down the lineup. Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust continue to find the back of the net with regularity, and they've really found something playing on opposite ends of Sidney Crosby. The team lost Marcus Pettersson for an un...

Smitty and Tyler discuss all the latest surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team dropped the PA rivalry game in a dominant performance from the Philadelphia Eagles. A performance that shows just how good the Eagles are and where the Steelers are hopefully heading as they re-tool the roster under their model. Up next for the Steelers? A divisional matchup with the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore, with an opportunity to clinch the division on the line. Will the team's run of dominance over the ...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins! The team has actually had a nice little run as of late. They've won 5 of their last 7 and find themselves back into the wildcard mix. The biggest factor in this is just that the goaltending (while still not good) has at least somewhat stabilized, and they aren't sinking the ship. Contributions from Blake Lizotte, Philip Tomasino and Michael Bunting have been very welcomed as well. They seem to be getting more regular guys involved...

Smitty and Tyler discuss all the latest surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team got a measure of revenge by beating the Cleveland Browns on Sunday to improve to 10-3 on the season. They did so without George Pickens, which will be the case for at least one more game. What should the plan of attack be without their most talented pass catcher? DeShon Elliott and Larry Ogunjobi will both try to work their way back after suffering injuries on Sunday. What did we make of the offensive, defensiv...

Smitty is flying solo on this one to discuss the Pittsburgh Steelers' win over the Cincinatti Bengals on Sunday and go over the Hard Knocks premiere. Russell Wilson and the offense moved the ball with ease against a porous Bengals' defense. Arthur Smith and Russ had a great gameplan and the yards and points were both easy to come by. TJ Watt, Nick Herbig and Donte Jackson all got takeaways for a Steelers defense that continues to create turnovers amongst the league's best. Sure, they allowed Joe...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins! The team has dropped back-to-back games and sits in last place of the Metropolitan Division. Despite them trending in the wrong direction over the last few seasons, this is a totally new low under Mike Sullivan. Sidney Crosby isn't even on pace to be a point per game player this season. They're not getting the secondary scoring they were at the beginning of the season. They have arguably the league's worst combination of defense a...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins! The team has points in 4 straight games, which on the surface doesn't sound all that bad. Then you realize those 4 games were against the Detroit Red Wings (OTL), Columbus Blue Jackets (L), San Jose Sharks (SOW) and Tampa Bay Lightning (OTL). Mike Sullivan's team continues to trend in the wrong direction as they blew their 8th multi-goal lead of the season. We saw Tristan Jarry return to action against the Jackets and it went exac...

Smitty and Tyler talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins. Kyle Dubas has begun his shakeup of the 2024 roster. The team traded Lars Eller to the Washington Capitals for a couple of draft picks in the first of likely many more moves to acquire future assets as this team enters a transition period. We discuss what could be coming next, how we got here and how quickly the Pens can get to the other side of this thing. Is there a chance the core gets broken up in the process of this roster reconstruction...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode we discuss the team's win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday. TJ Watt, Cam Heyward, Patrick Queen and company held Jayden Daniels and the Commanders offense in check for the most part. Daniels had by far his least productive game of the season. Russell Wilson and the Pittsburgh offense took some time to get going, but once they did, they were able to convert some massive third downs, leading to a game-winn...

Smitty and Tyler talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins. The team has bounced back a bit over the course of the last week. They've earned points in 3 straight games, though one of those was a shootout loss in which they blew a 3-1 third period lead to the New York Islanders... Anyway, a big reason they've collected some points as of late is Evgeni Malkin jumping up to play on Sidney Crosby's LW. The reunion of the two-headed monster on a full-time basis has kickstarted Sidney Crosby's season. He ha...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode we discuss the team making a couple of moves at the NFL Trade Deadline to gear up for the stretch run. The team's search for WR help finally came to an end when they acquired WR Mike Williams from the New York Jets in exchange for a 2025 5th-round pick. A player they wanted to meet with in free agency, finally lands with the team. We then discuss the team acquiring OLB Preston Smith from the Green Bay Packers in...

Smitty and Tyler talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins. The Pittsburgh Penguins sit at dead last in the Eastern Conference. While we may not have expected them to contend for a Stanley Cup, this is certainly not where we expected the team to be sitting either. The team looks lifeless most nights. They've blown two-goal leads in 3 of their last 5 games and have had leads in 4 of their last 5. Somehow, they've only managed to gain one point in that time. The defense is potentially the worst in the l...

Smitty and Tyler are back to talk all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode we discuss the team's win over the New York Giants. The Steelers broke out their color rush uniforms for Monday Night Football and found a path to victory despite their slow start. The defense struggled to contain the likes of Darius Slayton and Tyrone Tracy but held the Giants to field goals in the first half. Their own offensive drives would stall in the redzone as well though with Broderick Jones taking a pen...

Smitty and Tyler talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins. The last week has not been kind to the Pittsburgh Penguins. It started off well with Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby sharing a night of milestones in a 6-5 OT thriller but has gone downhill since then. 3 straight losses (just one point collected) has left them with more questions than answers. The team doesn't know where to turn in net with Tristan Jarry continuing to struggle, Joel Blomqvist being so green and Alex Nedeljkovic just now retur...

Russell Wilson made his team debut and settled in nicely after a slow start. Unlocking something in the passing game that we hadn't seen with Justin Fields. The exact reason that this move was made. Giving his playmakers such as George Pickens and Pat Freiermuth opportunities to make plays. Najee Harris had another awesome day out of the backfield, creating yards...

Smitty and Tyler talk all things Pittsburgh Penguins. The regular season is underway for the Penguins and they're off to a predictable 2-2 start. How they got there has been another story. Evgeni Malkin has been on a tear to begin the season, currently tied for the league lead in points. Sidney Crosby has yet to register a goal and has just 3 assists. They've already sat Tristan Jarry for back-to-back games in favor of rookie Joel Blomqvist. While they aren't lighting it up, the power play proce...
