Steelers minicamp has wrapped up. We heard back to some of the things Omar Khan had to say earlier today with us. We also listened in to what Mike Tomlin had to say to the media. The guys don’t believe Khan and the front office are satisfied with the receivers like he claimed today. How much will the team rely on Roman Wilson in this offense? Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray is confident the two young guys will be starting at tackle once we hit Week 1. He had thoughts on Najee Harris and his status since he did not speak to anyone at minicamp. Is Ray buying into the hype of Calvin Austin as he quietly enters his third season? Ray thinks the Steelers should know by August 1st if Cam Sutton will be facing a suspension. Ray thinks Van Jefferson looks the part to be the WR2 on this roster, but the pickings are slim. The guys asked Ray about some bodies along the defensive line. Bucco Minute – GIVEAWAY.

The guys dove into what we heard from Omar Khan when it came to Najee Harris and his status after the team declined his 5th year option. Was it the right call? The guys think it was a slam-dunk from the Steelers front office. What made the Steelers bring back Cam Sutton? Omar Khan said the front office has no idea what a potential penalty could be for Sutton after his arrest earlier this off-season. The guys took a look through some of the recent suspensions around the league and ones that relate to Sutton’s situation. Donny Football Debrief – The Big 12 is exploring naming rights for the conference to the highest-bidding sponsor.

Steelers GM Omar Khan joined the show. Omar is aware of The Wire and Star Trek videos that go viral when the Steelers make a move. The guys started the conversation with Najee Harris after the Steelers declined the RBs 5th year option. Omar said he wants to see George Pickens with the ball in his hands and the special things he can do with it. Omar raved about how good they feel about the receivers going into the season following the minicamp and OTA sessions. The guys asked about the move to create more cap room via the restructuring of Alex Highsmith and his contract. Omar commented on the ‘unfinished business’ remark he made on a national show earlier this year. He expressed his excitement in the extension of Mike Tomlin and getting to work alongside him every day. Omar said he’s pretty boring and he’s just all football as he got into his Father’s Day plans. The guys asked what went behind the process in bringing back Cam Sutton and if the team is aware of any sort of suspension. Omar joked about Justin Fi

KDKA TV legend Bob Pompeani joined the show. Bob got the recap of the Omar Khan interview. He is also a new grandparent, for the fourth time. The guys wanted to get Pomp’s thoughts on the US Open so far through some of the opening round. Pomp got the update on the Buccos as the call wrapped up.

A little Pirates pregame as the Buccos get set for the rubber match against the Cardinals in St. Louis. The lineup today doesn’t look great, to say the least. Can Mitch Keller carry these guys to a victory? The guys didn’t like some of the young guns not playing after a night game. How much rest do young players really need? We also took a look at some of the trade candidates the Pirates *should* be taking a look at a little over a month from the deadline. Are there enough sellers around the league right now with so many teams in the middle? Doug Whaley thinks the biggest criticism of Mike Tomlin comes from that coaching tree – pointing out how a coach so young to the league like Sean McVay has branches all over the place. Tomlin got his start as a very young defensive mind that was given a chance – why hasn’t he done that for someone else? The guys pointed out failures like Matt Canada and already-established names like Brian Flores. The guys also discovered a big question they want to ask Omar Khan. Shoul

Should the Steelers finally retire Terry Bradshaw and the number 12?

When could we see Justin Fields? Is he bound to be the Steelers QB in 2025? Do he and Mike Tomlin trust each other in that future spot? Najee Harris was not at the first day of minicamp, but it wasn’t anything like the Aaron Rodgers situation. 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. The guys asked Jeff about which side of the football was winning on the second day of minicamp. Jeff commented on the participation of Najee Harris or lack thereof in the first two days of minicamp. Is there any chance we see George Pickens get snaps in the slot this season? Bucco Minute – Are the Pirates truly closer to a playoff appearance and win than the Steelers?

Russell Wilson talking about turning back the clock. Will it be similar to what we saw in the latter stages of the career of Ben Roethlisberger? The guys looked at the yards per attempt category and they look eerily similar. Will he hold off Justin Fields for the entire season? Some of Wilson’s nicknames don’t make sense. Should we try the Russ sandwich? ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi reacted to the Mike Tomlin contract extension and the decision making made by Art Rooney in this situation. She thinks Tomlin is still among the elite coaches in the league and doesn’t think there are many names you take ahead of him. Aditi talked about the level of ease that could come with Arthur Smith as the team’s offensive coordinator. Donny Football Debrief – We listened to the Mr. Unlimited video.
