From too many penalties, sloppy special teams, wondering where Kaleb Johnson was, impressive debuts by young QBs and the 2026 draft class, there's a lot to go over.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's Steelers first-round draft pick Max Iheanachor, and his strengths and weaknesses as they're being reveled early in training camp. Iheanachor didn't necessarily dominate his first time through 1 on 1 pass-rush drills on Monday, but his specific combination of skills, including excellent footwork but very questionable hand placement, might give him a longer leash than most rookies might get.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss what Alan saw as the team took the field for their first day in pads.

What do we make of coach McCarthy saying we could see Aaron Rodgers playing in the preseason, the team doing backs on backers drills and the admission they don't have a FS.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the unexpected performance of backup cornerback Asante Samuel Jr., who has been the best player on the field for the Steelers through two days of training camp at St. Vincent College. Samuel has taken full advantage of the opportunity provided by the injuries to Joey Porter Jr. and Jalen Ramsey, and his play so far, combined with his pedigree suggests he's a player that deserves a bigger role than backup cornerback.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss what Alan saw as the team took the field for their second practice of training camp.

We also talk about Spencer Anderson dominating first team reps, Asante Samuel Jr. looking like the best player on the field and where Keeanu Benton is lining up.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. When it comes to NFL teams, the idea of addition through subtraction is something that gets thrown around during an offseason, but doesn’t usually come to pass. It takes a unique set of circumstance for a team to get better, simply because someone is no longer on their roster. But the Steelers tight end room might have that circumstance this year, where Jonnu Smith departed, and will no longer be taking snaps away from more-deserving players like Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington.

Today, it's the Steelers captains, which under former head coach Mike Tomlin, were appointed for a full season and did not wear the NFL's standard patches. Will those things change under Mike McCarthy, who has given out weekly captaincies in the past? That was the way the Steelers operated for most of their history, before beginning to give out permanent captaincies in 1998. So will Aaron Rodgers, Cam Heyward and T.J. Watt be the team's on-field leaders again -- and does who the captains are matter anyway? Alan breaks it down: Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today, it's a study put out by Rotowire on Monday that said that new Pittsburgh head coach Mike McCarthy will enter his tenure wth the third-hottest hot seat in the NFL -- while coaching for a team that hasn't fired its head coach since 1969.
