Episode 17 of the Steelers Sanctuary Podcast is out. Our pod starts with DMC, and I discussing how Russell Wilson got his calf injury. Somehow the Steelers thought it was a good idea their 35 year old quarterback do sled pushing drills. We openly question the team’s decision making on this one.

Next we dive into the George Pickens incident with wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni. This is yet another warning sign on Pickens. There was a reason that such a physically talented wide receiver lasted until the second round. I question whether this player will reach a second contract with this team.

We wrap the pod up going over player reports from the first week of training camp. Players like DeMarvin Leal, Peyton Wilson, and Beanie Bishop have all flashed early on. Justin Feilds has had an up and down camp so far, while Pat Freiermuth has shown out. The offensive line continues to feature Dan Moore on the first team. This is a source of frustration for all Steelers fans.

Episode 16 of the Steelers Sanctuary Podcast is out. David Corob is back just in time as Steelers training camp is about to begin. This podcast is dedicated to getting you ready for the next month or so of camp.

We start out by asking DMC who he’s most looking forward to seeing in camp. His answer was linebacker Peyton Wilson. I think we are all looking forward to seeing what this player can do. If Wilson can stay healthy, it would give the Steelers a dynamic duo of linebackers with he and Patrick Queen. I am most looking forward to seeing how Justin Fields does this summer. I can’t help but feel Fields playing at his best is a much better scenario than Russel Wilson at his best.

Next we go position group by position group going over any possible position battles. Some names to watch are Cory Trice, Jeremiah Moon, and Dylan Cook as sleepers to be camp darlings.

We wrap up the pod by taking a shot at a very early win/loss prediction. Both DMC and I have the Steelers finishing at 9-7. We reserve the right to change our mind, especially if one of the quarterbacks takes off.

Episode 15 of the Steelers Sanctuary Podcast is out. Ron Lippock joins us once again to talk Steelers. The pod starts with some Steelers news. The team signed old friend Tyler Matakevich this past week. This bolsters the special teams unit, and may mean the end for Mark Robinson’s days as a Steeler.

Of course it wouldn’t be a Steelers podcast without mentioning Brandon Aiyuk at least once. His recent trade demand put him back in the spotlight this week. The team needs another receiver desperately, whether or not it will be Aiyuk remains to be seen.

The pod wraps up with some Steelers over/unders. We took a look at Betonline’s odds for individual Steelers players. Some examples were TJ Watt over 13.5 sacks, Pt Freiermuth over 3.5 touchdowns, and many more. It was a fun exercise to get us ready for the upcoming season.

Episode 14 of the Steelers Sanctuary Podcast is out. This week Bob Quinn of the Steel City Rings Podcast joins us once again. We start the pod out with the big news that Cam Sutton was suspended for 8 games by the NFL. We discuss the ramifications of this suspension for the Steelers.

Next we discuss Brandon Aiyuk once again taking to social media to hint he wants out of San Francisco. This time he posted a picture of some Commanders film. I for one am tired of this soap opera, and can’t wait for a resolution one way or the other.

We wrap up the pod with both Bob and I giving out our top 5 Steelers receivers of all time. Our lists differed slightly, but we both agreed on number one. This exercise led to some great conversation about the history of this franchise. You don’t want to miss this episode. Subscribe to the podcast so you don’t miss any of our great Steelers content.

Episode 13 of the Steelers Sanctuary Podcast is out. Ron Lippock is back with us to talk Steelers football. We start the show with a discussion about the NFL losing its lawsuit over Sunday Ticket, and being ordered to pay almost $15 billion in damages. We speak on how this may affect the league’s greedy television policy going forward.

Next what would a podcast be without some Brandon Aiyuk talk. Aiyuk was on the Pivet podcast talking about how he does not feel like he and the 49ers are anywhere close to a contract agreement. He cited the Commanders, and the Steelers as the two most likely teams he would go to if he didn’t stay in San Francisco.

This leads us to a discussion on how exactly has Omar Khan’s off-season gone? While many laud his moves, we question if he hasn’t botched the WR2 situation. That, combined with the Diontae Johnson trade, and the failure to read the free agent center market have us concerned.

The pod wraps up with us looking at the team’s free agents after the season. We take each one, and decide if they are candidates for an extension before the season, starts. Most think Pat Freiermuth is the most likely to get one, but I wonder if he may be betting on himself instead.

Episode 12 of the Steelers Sanctuary Podcast is out. DMC is back, and we get right into it. The pod starts with Mike Greenberg’s take that of the Steelers knew how little they needed to give up to acquire Justin Fields, they would not have signed Russell Wilson. We also discuss Ray Fittapaldo’s take that the team believes got Fields strictly as a backup.

Next we discuss the trade proposal for Brandon Aiyuk that made its rounds on social media lately. In a tweet by a San Francisco media person, he suggested the 49ers should get Zack Frazier and a day 2 pick for Aiyuk. While most Steelers fans scoffed at this idea, I would pull the trigger on it. DMC is very hesitant to do that deal however. It makes for an interesting discussion.

The pod wraps up with a look at the Steelers on Hard Knocks. We both agree this should be a tremendous look at the inner workings of the Steelers. We also agree that George Pickens could be the wild card on the team for this series. If things aren’t going well for him, Pickens could be must see tv for this series.

Episode 11 of the Steelers Sanctuary Podcast is out. This week we have a new guest making his first appearance on the pod. Bob Quinn of the Steel City Rings podcast joins us to talk Steelers. We start the pod out talking about the the cutting of Trenton Thompson and Denzel Mims earlier in the week. This has led to speculation that the team maybe adding an impact receiver soon.

Who that receiver might be remains a mystery. The Brandon Aiyuk rumors never seem to go away. The likelihood of a deal like this seems more and more unlikely as time goes by. A few other names come up as well. One to maybe keep an eye on is Tyreek Hill. Hill is looking for a new deal, and Miami already paid its other wide receiver. It’s a long shot, but something to at least think about.

Next Antonio Brown was a guest on the Pivot Podcast this week. He did not like the fact his number was given out to Cordarrelle Patterson. Bob and I discuss whether AB’s number will ever be retired in Pittsburgh. Brown also seems to have forgotten all the bad things he has said about Ben Roethlisberger in the past. Even going as far as to say they should go into the Hall of Fame together.

We wrap up the pod talking Hard Knocks. The Steelers will make their first appearance on the show this year. Depending on how the offense is going, this could get pretty interesting for Russell Wilson, George Pickens, and Mike Tomlin.

Episode 10 of the Steelers Sanctuary Podcast is out. DMC is back, and we had some catching up to do. We start the pod out talking about the Mike Tomlin extension. While we both have our issue with Tomlin at times, it is good to have him signed for the foreseeable future.

Next we review the Cam Sutton signing. DMC gets his chance to weigh in on this controversial signing. He has the same reaction both Ron and I had on the last episode. It’s hard to ignore what Cam Sutton did as he becomes a member of the Steelers.

We wrap up the pod with more Cam Heyward drama. This time he is hinting he may not finish his career as a Steeler. He even goes so far as to suggest possibly going to Cleveland of all things. His act is wearing thin with us, and a lot of the fanbase as well.
