Steelers Afternoon Drive

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers.

On today's episode, Derrick Bell joins to discuss if there is a specific WR that fits this offense more after Mike McCarthy's hiring. We also discuss the idea of adding Ty Simpson, if they could double dip at WR, what Aaron Rodgers coming back would mean, Patrick Graham becoming defensive coordinator and much more.

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 coaching staff being assembled by new head coach Mike McCarthy.

The coaching staff is almost exclusively coaches that have worked with McCarthy before, or have connections to Pittsburgh or the Steelers -- and in many cases both.

But does that mean the staff is lacking, or has McCarthy been around long enough, and done a good enough job of developing coaches, to be able to build an all-star staff from his own Rolodex?

Alan breaks it down.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers.

On today's episode, we discuss Patrick Graham, James Campe and Jason Simmons officially joining the Pittsburgh Steelers' staff. We also discuss the report Ramon Chinyoung is coming in some capacity, the team's interest in Jahri Evans. Scott Tolzien and Brian Angelichio are two names to watch at offensive coordinator, so we will see how that shapes up. Alan then talks about what he's seen so far from the Senior Bowl, and we answer some questions about position groups and standouts.

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 2026 NFL Draftclass at the wide receiver position.

There are five players that are projected to be first-round picks, and with the quarterback class looking awfully thin, it's very possible that's the way that Mike McCarthy could lean in the draft to try to get the personnel required to run his preferred West Coast offense.

In fact, the Steelers may need to double dip at wide receiver, even if they take one early, and there are lots of solid options here at the Senior Bowl and Shrine Bowl last week.
