Steelers outlook, Steve Palazzolo, Debrief

The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller

We are moments away from the Sugar Bowl and Poni has a true conundrum on his hands regarding Notre Dame. We went through the poor history of Notre Dame in big-time bowl games. Flipping back to the Steelers, is it house money if they win at least one playoff game? Is that enough? The guys think it depends on WHO they beat whether or not they determine that it is a successful season. Steve Palazzolo from the 33rd Team joined the show. The guys asked Steve about a few college football prospects that are playing in the College Football Playoff. What is the biggest issue for the Steelers in all 3 of these losses? Steve doesn’t think it’s mayday, but it’s teams who just matched up really well against them. Steve doesn’t trust Russell Wilson more than any other AFC QB, but he never really did beforehand. Steve thinks the Steelers need to make a run to the AFC Championship Game with Wilson playing a big factor to bring him back next season. Could the Steelers be in on Aaron Rodgers this offseason? Steve thinks Sam Darnold is a smart investment, but you have to worry about him outside of an offensive genius. Steve believes Tee Higgins will stay in Cincinnati and they will figure it out financially. Is Higgins better than George Pickens? Steve struggled to name 5 guys he would take over Jeremiah Smith right now. Steve thinks the Bengals win the game on Saturday. Steve said the Steelers will beat the Texans if they play them.
