Starkey & Mueller

Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown joined the show. Greg said Ke’Bryan Hayes was the player he thinks is leading this offensive charge the most, after hitting .300 in June. The Pirates ended the month in a historic way en route to a 4-0 final 4 games. How will things change with this team over the course of the next month with the trade deadline 30 days away? Greg reiterated to the guys that Ben Cherington and a few others in the front office don’t believe they are too far away from competing. Greg doesn’t think they will move everyone and start from scratch. Greg pondered which guys could be on the move anyway. The guys wanted to spend some time on Dave Parker, including the comments from Nick Gonzales, who suggested the number 39 (the one he wears) to be retired by the team.

We dove back into the big trade from yesterday. What was the reason why the Steelers felt like they could part with Minkah Fitzpatrick? The guys wondered if this trade was more a ‘cutting of losses’ for the team. Was Minkah one of the reasons why there was a lack of communication on defense last season? We looked into a few avenues as to how this trade could have gone down. We noted that both teams are looking at the trade from a different perspective. ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler joined the show. Jeremy said based on everything he has heard around the league, he doesn’t have the expectation of TJ Watt being dealt. Jeremy referenced the Myles Garrett trade request and the deal that happened a few days later. Jeremy talked about the aggressive nature Omar Khan brings to negotiations. Jeremy is under the impression that Watt wants the guaranteed money to be higher than Garrett’s. The guys asked Jeremy about what a trade package could look like if the Steelers wanted to move on from Watt. Jeremy still thinks

The guys asked Jeremy about what a trade package could look like if the Steelers wanted to move on from Watt. Jeremy still thinks Gabe Davis could be on the table for the Steelers before we reach training camp. Does Jonnu Smith solve any offensive issues? He said Jalen Ramsey is a chess piece that can play a lot of different spots in that defense. Will the Steelers add to the offense with another receiver? Jeremy tried explaining some of the financial details in yesterday’s blockbuster trade.

Is the door now more open than ever to the Steelers trading TJ Watt? Following the move yesterday that sent Minkah Fitzpatrick to Miami for Jonnu Smith and Jalen Ramsey, we feel like there is more on the table than ever before. Would Watt take that money from anywhere or does he really want to stay in Pittsburgh? Are the Steelers going to cave in their negotiations with TJ Watt? They did that in 2021, but this is a different era of Steelers football – a wilder era. They have become one of the most unpredictable teams in the league. HOCKEY TALK! Today is the first day of NHL free agency. The Penguins have made a couple small moves. Today is 10 years to the day that they traded for Phil Kessel.

Chris Mueller joins the show! Chris was with Jim Colony when the trade news broke. Chris’ first thought was that Mike Tomlin and Minkah Fitzpatrick did not get along. Apparently Minkah once got into a fight with a veteran member of the defense and did not look good coming away from it. Poni says his expectations for the Steelers haven’t changed. Chris says it’s a good deal, not a great deal, and it still feels like Pittsburgh is in transition.

James Harrison thinks the best and worst quality of Mike Tomlin is that he is too much of a player’s coach. Guys love playing for him, but sometimes that makes things too buddy-buddy and messy. Is it fair to ask Tomlin to change his stripes or reevaluate how he is? There were some damning words from Harrison on a few fronts even though he respects and liked playing for Tomlin overall. Do fans agree with James Harrison? Donny Football Debrief – There will not be a supplemental draft this year (there hasn’t been one since 2019).
