On his weekly Chipped Ham & Football podcast, Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko welcomes MyCole Pruitt, a tight end for the team last year, to analyze its mixed results through the first two weeks of the 2025 NFL season. Why does MyCole have hope for Jaylen Warren, Kenneth Gainwell, Kaleb Johnson and the running game? Despite offensive line struggles from names including Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu? What does he think of the NFL Week 3 matchup against the New England Patriots? Particularly as Steelers coach Mike Tomlin and OC Arthur Smith gear up to face new Patriots coach Mike Vrabel? And what were his thoughts on Johnson's costly special teams mistake against Seattle? Our duo tackles those questions and more, including TEs like Jonnu Smith, Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington assisting on the infamous "tush push" play and the challenges international games like the Steelers' Week 4 matchup against Minnesota pose for players.
