HOUR 2 - Howard struggles, Charlie Batch, Auction House

Will Howard said that he did not play up to par against the Packers on Friday. Most people would probably agree, as he threw 2 picks and didn’t show many positives. Poni thinks that Howard has back up quarterback vibes and he does not expect Howard to be the team’s QB of the future. A lot of people thought that Howard was a steal in the draft, and are staying rigid on that belief despite his struggles. Former Steelers QB Charlie Batch joined the show. Charlie said that Will Howard wasn’t 100% to blame for the interceptions he threw against the Packers, but both of them were still bad decisions/throws. He also says that Howard needs to get a better feel for the pocket, citing the sack he took on the first drive on Friday. Charlie says that he liked what he saw from Drew Allar, including the field flipping play in the 3rd quarter. Batch says that he doesn’t think Howard would clear waivers if the Steelers wanted to put him on the practice squad. Black & Gold Auction House – Round 3.
