Should Steelers' WR situation behind George Pickens alarm us? Banked too hard on Brandon Aiyuk?

North Shore Drive podcast - Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more

In his weekly YouTube appearance, Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise joins host Adam Bittner to analyze the Steelers' situation at receiver behind George Pickens. Was the group's two catches by Van Jefferson and Calvin Austin III for eight yards vs. the Atlanta Falcons in NFL Week 1 alarming? Or is it sustainable in the type of offense OC Arthur Smith wants to run? Did GM Omar Khan bank too hard on acquiring Brandon Aiyuk via trade? And how closely should we watch potential fallback options including the Denver Broncos' Courtland Sutton and the Las Vegas Raiders' Davante Adams?

Later, the guys weigh in on the QB situation with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Plus the tackle competition between Troy Fautanu, Dan Moore Jr. and Broderick Jones. Then they give their thoughts on the Backyard Brawl between Pitt and West Virginia; Eli Holstein's development at QB for the Panthers; Penn State's struggles defensively vs. Bowling Green; and Pirates GM Ben Cherington's expectations that manager Derek Shelton will return next season.
