00:00
it's put up or shut up time right like for the entire steelers organization there's never been
00:04
a team i feel like that's more all in than this team going into the year and they're going to
00:09
look a lot different than last year mike just not going to rely on that defense anymore aaron
00:13
rogers is now the quarterback uh you know certainly they have dk metcalf at wide receiver
00:19
johnny smith a trade for him yesterday too so is this enough though to say that a team is all in
00:25
you know mike i mean a lot of veterans and it feels like anything less than what a playoff win at this
00:31
point will be a bust yeah i think it's a fair i think it's a fair characterization to say that they
00:36
are pushing their chips to the middle of the table but i think it's also fair to question whether or
00:42
not this team is good enough to warrant that type of response some people might call it a little bit
00:49
of a desperate action but i'm a steelers fan too so i i have i'm seeing this from a couple of
00:55
different angles i don't think aaron rogers is certainly near the top of where his game has been
01:01
and does the addition of him and some of these other players immediately launch them over the
01:07
teams in their own division are they markedly better than the bangles are they better than the
01:12
ravens are they better than the bills or the chiefs frankly the chargers and broncos came on
01:18
last year as well so it's a highly competitive conference at the top we could talk about the depth
01:24
of the afc versus the nfc but clearly the playoff mix of teams that made it last year are going to
01:31
be a challenge aaron rogers is going to be protected with some talent here and an offensive line that has
01:37
been built up very significantly over the last three off seasons uh fa utanu did their first round pick
01:45
last year did not get an opportunity to play due to injury so he's in the mix along with
01:49
broderick jones and others and that could create some good protection for aaron rogers this season
01:57
in addition to the weapons that you mentioned now now what about the trade for jonu smith let's get
02:02
into that here for a minute because he was arguably one of two his favorite targets in miami last season
02:09
of course pat friarmuth is already there so you know mike do you see a lot of two tight end sets here
02:15
at quarterback i mean this is not really is it is it the aaron rogers offense having two big guys
02:20
like this going over the middle i don't recall seeing that in the past fair question i think it's
02:25
more the arthur smith offense that it is the aaron rogers offense which is probably my primary question
02:30
about this team as we head into this season how much is aaron rogers going to be allowed to be
02:38
flexible with the types of plays he wants to call versus what arthur smith has done in both
02:44
atlanta and now in pittsburgh what is that going to look like he's added caleb johnson joe pisapia was
02:52
just talking with you about the addition of caleb johnson and jalen warren that'll be a two-back
02:56
set you have friarmuth and now jonu smith whose best seasons one of his best seasons came with
03:03
arthur smith at the helm in atlanta you have also darnell washington a massive target at tight end so they
03:10
have depth at that position dk smith robert woods calvin austin is the wide receiving core it's
03:16
maybe not the most elite uh three starting wide receiver set but there's depth there uh that is
03:24
this stealer's offense the reality craig is this stealer's offense is way better on paper this off
03:30
season uh than it was a year ago is a championship level that remains to be seen
