Feb. 18 – Ep. 44: On this episode of The Depot Dive, Joe Clark and I talk about Mike Tomlin’s influence on avoiding the middle of the field on offense based on a discussion from Steelers insider Mark Kaboly on 93.7 the Fan. We weigh in with our thoughts on how much autonomy Arthur Smith has over the offense, and whether it’s a quarterback issue with the Steelers not having had a top passer in quite some time.
We then discuss the running back room and whether or not we think the Steelers will retain Najee Harris. If they don’t, will they come to regret it like teams that allowed free agents running backs to walk last year? We discuss the deep running back draft class and many other related topics.
For the final topic, we dive into a report that Justin Fields is intrigued by the New York Jets’ roster and how there could be some mutual interest there. Could it be difficult to lure him back, and could his interest from other teams push the Steelers back to Russell Wilson? We discuss all of that and more.
We wrap up the show answering a listener question about the Steelers’ QB evaluation process.
