Description

On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise joins host Adam Bittner to ponder the Steelers' persistent problems at the cornerback position.


Does coach Mike Tomlin get too enamored with aging veterans like Patrick Peterson, Donte Jackson, Darius Slay Jr. and Jalen Ramsey? Is he too impressed by past accomplishments compared to present-day ability? And will ever figure out how to develop young corners like Joey Porter Jr., Cory Trice Jr. and others through the years to their full potential?


Our duo tackles those questions, then analyzes the remaining schedule and the Steelers' chances of making the playoffs. Can Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward generate enough wins against teams like the Bills, Lions, Colts, Chargers and Ravens to make the NFL playoffs? Or are they more likely than not to miss the tournament?
