Ok let’s get started

Lots of blame to go around in Blackhawks mess. Glad Bowman and MacIsaac were rightfully shown the door, and hopefully Quenneville gets his comeuppance soon. Thoughts on Kane, and especially Toews, probably not taking enough blame. Multiple other players confirmed Beach's story that it was a known issue in the locker room - how can Toews stay on as captain if that's true? Not much Hawks can do with him given his No Movement Clause in contract. And let's not forget Kane himself was accused of sexual assault years ago too.
Zeise

I don’t like people trying to get on Toews and Kane because I don’t know that it is other players jobs to try and get involved. The stuff was turned over to the authorities and the authorities dropped the ball. All of the leadership should be fired, however

Did the Pens make a mistake in not protecting Tanev? His energy and passion were 2nd to none on he team. Of course he was the number 1 star for the Kraken the other night. Or was he too expensive for a bottom 6 role?.
Zeise
12:12
No they always have to make these decisions and I thought he was a bit overrated in terms of what he actually did
Sunner in Orlando
12:12
Will the Steelers go back to a more base defense against the Browns and have Spillane play more to stop the run?
Zeise
12:14
I would think after watching what the Seahawks did in the run game against them and then watched the Browns run against the Broncos they will do everything in their power to stop the run
Sunner in Orlando

Can Pitt avoid the big letdown after a great game against Clemson? Miami still has a bunch of talent. Should the Steelers consider Pickett in next year's draft or is he a product of a nice system with good receivers?
Zeise
12:16
I think Pickett is the real deal. He is playing in a pro style offense not some gimmick offense. As for the let down, Miami is bad in the ways you can’t be bad if you are gonna upset Pitt. You have to be able to score and they just can’t

Hello Paul, if it weren't for sports, what coverage would you choose?  Nation, world, local, arts and leisure,,..??
Zeise
12:16
Arts and Entertainment / I would love to cover music and movies and TV and whatnot
Sunner in Orlando
12:16
Are the Steelers thankful they did not sign JJ Watt as he has another season ending and possibly career ending injury?
Zeise
12:17
That’s exactly why I said they need to be careful with TJ. When you play that physical and all out every play your body is going to break down
Jimmie
12:18
What scenario is required to see Mason Rudolph play more than a late fourth-quarter clean up?
Zeise
12:18
Ben Roethlisberger getting hurt
The Dude
12:18
Marcus Mariotta should be fine with the Raiders after this season. Would you give up a low draft pick to acquire him now?
Zeise
12:20
I would not do that, why would you want to get him? He stinks
Sunner in Orlando
12:20
How is the vibe around Pitt b ball? I think they have more "team" players this year unlike last year where "me" type players like Johnson and Champagnie did not want to be there. Excited for Hugley to see what he can bring!
Zeise
12:21
I think if they can be .500 or a little better it will be a successful year. But I’m nit sure they can do that
Sunner in Orlando
12:21
Can the Steelers run on the Browns Sunday? I think they load the box to force Ben to pass. Hopefully the injuries in the Brown's secondary can be exposed.
Zeise
12:22
I think so, I think the Browns defense is extremely overrated. I think there is no question the Steelers will move the ball
Chuck from Michigan

Hi Paul, seems to be a lot of concern with Steelers ILB's covering TE's down the field on obvious passing downs and not having enough speed to cover bigger/faster TE's.  We'd all like to have Ryan Shazier in the lineup, but Bush/Spillane will never be as talented as Shazier.  Why not employ faster/quicker DB's at the ILB positions to stop TE big plays?  Your thoughts?  Thank you very much!
Zeise
12:23
Well they have used safeties some in that position but then the fear becomes if they run a draw or something you don’t have a tin stopper in there. Devin Bush needs to develop and quickly into a big time linebacker that can play three downs

Hi Paul. Kenny Pickett certainly has earned the accolades he is receiving and he seems to be a potential NFL starter. Did you have an opportunity to get to know him while your son was playing for the Panthers? Are you surprised that he has raised his game to this level?
Zeise
12:24
The kid is a winner and a fighter and this extra year has really benefitted him
The Real TP Hunter
12:24
How much longer can the Penguins hang on without five of their top six players? System and discipline mean a lot, but at some point, you need to have the "A" level talent in the house, don't you?
Zeise
12:25
It is early season hockey. Every team is finding themselves right now so the Pens can continue to use smoke and mirrors for a few more games but eventually it will catch up
The Real TP Hunter
12:25
Where do you see the Steelers season going from this point? It seems like they must emerge from these next three games with at least two wins to have a chance at a wild card, because after that the schedule is pretty grueling.
Zeise
12:26
As I’ve said before - this team will be somewhere between 8-10 wins: I don’t see any reason to change that prediction
The Real TP Hunter
12:26
Pitt in a Top 6 bowl game this year? You said last week that you thought Clemson would beat them for the ACC championship, but that can't happen now, correct?
Zeise
12:27
It could still happen. They still play Wake Torest. They need a little help but not as much as you think
Krugerrand
12:27
Could there be any value in lining Harris up beside Ben in the shotgun and direct snapping to Harris? Thank you.
Zeise
12:27
Just go wildcat if you are gonna do that, why try and do something goofy?
The Real TP Hunter
12:28
How would you classify the Penn State coaching job? Elite, very good, good, average?
Zeise
12:28
It is one of the top 15 in the country. I’m not sure how that classifies on your scale
JR

Paul: ask for a raise your work is the best! Pitt needs to come ready to play this week. Can Pitt win without Izzy and Jordan?
Zeise
12:29
Thanks and yes I believe so. They have a lot of depth at receiver and running back and a lot of guys hungry to play
KDub
12:29
Hi Paul. Does Pitt keep rolling this week even if Addison and Izzy don't play? It seems they have depth at WR and Hammond looks more than capable running the ball.
Zeise
12:29
Again, I don’t think Miami’s offense is good enough to score enough points to beat Pitt

What does Renegade have to do with football?
