.@NoahStrackbein thinks that new #Steelers HC Mike McCarthy’s practices ‘have been very impressive’ because of the ‘amount of detail in them.’ #HereWeGo @MarkKaboly @rayfitt1 FULL SHOW: youtube.com/live/UJf0keSEkx8…

.@NoahStrackbein said #Steelers veteran Cam Heyward ‘isn’t like close to retirement it feels like.’ Heyward turned 37 in May. @MarkKaboly said Pittsburgh is looking at the 2026 season like ‘a one shot trick here baby. Let’s go for it. If we fail, we go 6-11, we say [goodbye to] you, you, and you - we got these other guys who can fill in cheaper.’ #HereWeGo @rayfitt1 FULL SHOW: youtube.com/live/UJf0keSEkx8…

.@NoahStrackbein said it kinda feels like Keeanu Benton will get paid before Joey Porter Jr. ‘I think it is going to be Keeanu first because I think Joey is going to be way late,’ @MarkKaboly said. #HereWeGo @rayfitt1 FULL SHOW: youtube.com/live/UJf0keSEkx8…

A surprising standout at #Steelers mini camp: DB Sebastian Castro. ‘Every time I look at him he’s making a play. I know it’s OTAs, I know it’s mini camp, but the guy continues to make plays & it just opens your eyes,’ @MarkKaboly said. #HereWeGo @NoahStrackbein @rayfitt1 FULL SHOW: youtube.com/live/fOgumj7nmKM…

AGREE OR DISAGREE #STEELERS FANS: @rayfitt1 said Joey Porter Jr ‘is going to cost more than Nick Herbig’ - Nick is making ‘$21 million per year, I think Joey is going to be beyond that.’ 🤔 @NoahStrackbein @MarkKaboly #HereWeGo FULL SHOW: youtube.com/live/fOgumj7nmKM…

.@MarkKaboly thinks the #Steelers would get more in return if they traded Alex Highsmith vs T.J. Watt. @NoahStrackbein & @rayfitt1 disagreed. ‘I think there’s a possibility maybe it’s not a 2027 maybe it’s a 2028 but I think you could still potentially get a first round pick for T.J. Watt,’ Noah said. #HereWeGo FULL SHOW: youtube.com/live/fOgumj7nmKM…

"That's an excellent comparison." That's what Mike McCarthy said when his assistant coach Joe Whitt Jr. brought up Charles Woodson when talking about Jalen Ramsey. Could Ramsey have a similar career arc as the hall of fame DB? More via @PittsburghPG: post-gazette.com/sports/stee…
