Description

Live around 5 p.m., Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to news that the Steelers are signing free agent cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. to their practice squad. What can the veteran bring to the struggling secondary? Will he fit well alongside names like Joey Porter Jr., Darius Slay, Jalen Ramsey, Brandin Echols and James Pierre? Will his coverage help names like T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig generate more pressure on QBs up front? Can Samuel help coach Mike Tomlin's defense stop tough passing threats, beginning this week with an NFL Week 11 rematch against the Joe Flacco, Ja'Marr Chase and the Cincinnati Bengals? And does this move make up for GM Omar Khan's lack of action at the NFL trade deadline? Paul tackles those questions and more on the offensive side, where Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Jaylen Warren and others are looking for more success.
