Description

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Noah Hiles welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo analyze receiver DK Metcalf's lack of production in recent weeks.


Who's to blame for the talented receiver's struggles? Are there things the player himself could be doing better? Is QB Aaron Rodgers the problem? Or is OC Arthur Smith just not calling enough for Metcalf as he juggles other targets including Calvin Austin III, Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington, Jonnu Smith and Roman Wilson?


Then later, the guys ponder the state of the secondary as it prepares for an NFL Week 11 rematch with Joe Flacco, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and the AFC North rival Cincinnati Bengals. Will CB Darius Slay be available? If not, can James Pierre and Brandin Echols step up next to Jalen Ramsey and Joey Porter Jr.? And what adjustments can coach Mike Tomlin and DC Teryl Austin make to avoid a dominant performance by Chase like we saw in the last meeting? Our duo tackles those questions and more.
