The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller

FRIDAY, FRIDAY. 

The guys debated if the Pirates should pay Oneil Cruz right now or by the end of the season to lock him up for the future.  Fan calls. 

The guys ranked the Steelers defensive starters with Larry Ogunjobi included.  Former Steeler Arthur Moats joined the show. Arthur said Donny made a mistake not telling the guys about his dating life. After that he got into football. Poni asked why people are upset with him over Kenny Pickett. Arthur said it’s fine to not rush Pickett into the starting role because Mitch Trubisky is in as a placeholder. Arthur said he has over 330 pairs of shoes, but will never own “dad” shoes. 

LeSean McCoy had high praise for Kenny Pickett. Poni doesn’t understand why people are mad at him because of Pickett. And he’s upset with not knowing about Donny Football’s dating life.  Fan Morning Show producer Adam Crowley joined the show. After he made some disparaging comments about Mullsy, he had to explain himself.

Newly retired Steelers insider Ed Bouchette joined the show. He talked about what he has going on in retirement and how much he is keeping up with the Steelers.  The Pirates took 3 out of 4 against the Cubs after a walk-off single from Michael Chavis. The team is 3-1 since the Oneil Cruz call up.

Chris named his third best Steelers QB of all-time and what his expectations are for Kenny Pickett on that list.  Pitt man Bill Osborn joined the show. Bill was a lifelong friend of Tony Siragusa, who passed away yesterday at the age of 55. Bill shared funny stories of times with Tony on and off the football field.

Longtime Steelers writer Gerry Dulac said Mike Tomlin should be on the hot seat – “warm” seat. The guys discussed. With the history of the Steelers, is there any chance of this? Chris doesn’t think Tomlin should be fired if the Steelers have a losing season, which would be the first of his career. Poni thinks after there recent playoff history, Gerry might have a point.    Former Steeler Chris Hoke joined the show. Chris shared some memories of the late Tony Siragusa, a fellow defensive lineman that passed away yesterday. He loves the signing of Larry Ogunjobi because of depth needed up front. He thinks Mason Rudolph should have been given more of an opportunity as the Steelers starter. The guys asked Chris his thoughts on the Steelers offensive line after a horrific 2021 season for that group. Chris expects Mitch Trubisky to start over Kenny Pickett.
