Do I have concerns about the #Steelers ? Yes. Did I have concerns coming into the season, yes.
But I’m not making any pronouncements or overarching judgments until week 5, at the earliest.
It takes at least that long to know what everyone’s got.
I’ve always liked Patrick Graham. I like him more and more all the time—schematically and especially the way he talks about the game.
Would love to see him get a HC chance. Maybe in Pittsburgh? I’d be bout it!
💯
This is absolute music to my eyes.
The Steelers have the personnel to have one of the most dangerous Big Nickel defenses in the game.
I always thought Tomlin/Austin played WAY too much base 3-4 over the last several years & it would put LBs in tough positions to succeed especially.
I think this defense has a real chance to go from good to great/elite in 2026, which would go a long way in helping this team that that next step into a potential contender in the AFC.
Agree. Need more juice in the secondary—especially at safety.
This is why I wanted the Steelers to sign Nick Cross. I know Matt liked him too.
I’m here for it.
I’m gonna type up my dream realistic starting offense for the Steelers in 2026 that I’m sure nobody will have a problem with…
QB - Anthony Richardson
RB - Jaylen Warren/Rico Dowdle
WR1 - DK Metcalf
WR2 - Jordyn Tyson (R)
WR3 - Michael Pittman Jr.
TE - Pat Freiermuth
LT - Broderick Jones (if healthy)
LG - Wyatt Teller/Keylan Rutledge (R)
OC - Zach Frazier
RG - Mason McCormick
RT- Troy Fautanu
Key subs:
WR4: Deion Burks (R)
TE2: Darnell Washington
RB3: Kaleb Johnson
QB2: Will Howard (if bro beats out Richardson in an open competition, ride with Will)
If the Steelers wanted to do this, I think they could. But they prolly don’t want to lol (and you prolly don’t either)
Mine too. 💯
Jenkins at Guard and Cross at Safety are my two favorite remaining #Steelers targets
I like this signing.
Rico Dowdle is one of just 11 RBs with 1,300 scrimmage yards in each of the past two seasons, and he's the only one to hit that mark with two different teams.

Bro, I’d be calling the Colts about Richardson and even the Seahawks about Milroe. Let one of those guys compete. At least there’s upside if they hit.
Of the bridge options, I’d prefer Geno.
I’d go get him.
Positional value is *a* consideration in team building—but not *the* consideration.
Draft elite players.
He’s the best back to come out since Bijan. And along with Bijan and Saquan, is as good as any back to come out since CMC.
Not enough people are talking about this. To me, RB was/is a legit FA need. Can’t go into the draft with just Warren and Johnson under contract.
But the FA guys I’d want are quickly coming off the board.
Not enough people are talking about the fact that only Warren and Johnson are under contract right now.
To me, you can’t go into the draft that way. But the FA guys are coming off the board.
Khan on Kaleb Johnson at the combine:
"Obviously what you guys saw on the field was disappointing. It’s gotta be better. But we see it on the practice field. We knew what he did in college and I’d expect Kaleb to turn the corner.”

Same. Trying not to be incredibly frustrated about the QB situation.
I’d be calling the Colts about Richardson and the Seahawks about Milroe. I want a younger guy with athletic/traits upside.
Love this. And reasonable numbers. I think #Steelers should have done this.
