You can tell the people who didn't actually watch the Steelers last year when they don't mention Elandon Roberts. He was a stud last year & will start alongside Queen.

It's legit criticism. But in the regular season when we're talking about the AFCN, the Steelers aren't getting run over.

Queen pick up was EPIC! (Yes, I'm old) Especially when you consider the light off-ball ILB field in this years draft. The Steelers NEEDED a reliable ILB for a long long time and it's harder than ever to find a great one these days in the draft.

AFL? We have KZread in the 70s?🤔
2 weeks ago i traded for russ and got queen in fa on my madden season. And it came true😂 i cant believe it still. Queen is big for us. The hole our defense has had since Ryan. Im pumped. We got a qb with Something to prove and can make the throws. No more under throwing or missed throws. We have a real o.c. who was a head coach. I cant wait
I’m a browns fan, and let me say I am quite scared. Patrick Queen is huge, and then Derrick Henry, if used correctly, will run us over. We literally built our defense to stop Lamar as the primary running threat, JOK and delpit opposite sides filling for QB scrambles. Scarys tuff
I think this is the best well balanced take of the russel wilson and steelers free agency acquisitions on TV. Good job nfl network(Good morning Football)
Can he be Russ? Lol, his stats/play last season is better than what we had from the QB position. Again, with a better team around him, he can be enough to take this team to at least a playoff win imo. At least.
Fact is, complain about the Steelers Offense all you want for the past three years, the DEFENSE has not been elite. They have elite talent, but the production as a UNIT (not individuals) has been far from elite. This year is time, this defense must be 2023 chiefs/ravens D good at least, at best 2008-2005-2010 Steelers good.
My favorite Avenger is Hawkeye.
Tomlin has never had a losing season and is still young: that’s unheard but he is doing a bad job 😂?
Russ beat Patrick Mahomes Josh Allen and put The Broncos in a great position to beat New England but the Denfense came up short

Thank you Kyle for saying exactly what I think and feel about my Steelers getting back to post season supremacy.
A little weird to go on about the leadership on defense - Heyward and Watt were mentioned - but also spend time thinking so hard about whether patrick queen can give speeches.
Holcomb looked OK, I really didn’t see him do all that much, and then he had that bad knee injury. There have been no updates on Holcomb, so he isn’t really in the picture atm, as far as I know. I thought Elandon played really well, and seemed like a great team guy. I thought Kwon and Eric Rowe played well too, I hope they bring them back and give them a chance to compete.
Kyle Brandt that was spoken like a true spoiled foreign fan. Because true Steeler fans saw losing for 38 years 1933-1971 then 1981-1992 and now there’s the least of our droughts now. The droughts in the modern era have been during the times we didn’t have a franchise QB. If you can’t take the bad times then you’re not a fan. You haven’t been a Steeler fan long enough to know what Steeler football is. You sound like Stephen A. Smith a spoiled little brat. You house or your job doesn’t run perfectly everyday so why do you expect the Rooney’s to run a franchise perfectly? Real fans are with their team in good times and bad. I’m thankful that through my lifetime it’s been mostly good.
Dam steelers got RW!!!.Never thought he would join them!!!. Be a good fit for them..
Funny, Hawkeye and Green Arrow have always been some of my favorite superhero tho
Kirk Cousins has won only one play-off game.
Good days As Hawks FAN Queen on one side and WILSON on the other and at 9-8 post season last year with out this BUNCH pulled in last 72 hours WOW watch out for these guys in AFC N. Div and Ravens new heavy computation in it . Congrates..
Generally pessimistic Steelers fan here, I'm actually excited for all these moves. Patrick Queen was the only free agent I wanted, replaced KP with a cheap and more viable option, got a better corner as compensation for Diontae, and best of all the Steelers got rid of the fatass 30 yd king Pressly for Bill Burr. Life as a Steelers fan is good😎🖤💛
Didn’t Russ BEAT Mahomes last season with a dogshit Broncos team?!
Lets omar khan cook
Kyle has always been a real one always been sticking up for the Steelers year after year even when all Hope is lost

Correct : playoff wins = success Championships = Legends
If the Steeler’s defense can stay healthy this team wins 12 games imo. They only need 24 points a game.
Still have no Oline !!!!!!!
Steelers were 5-1 last year in the division with inconsistent qb play lmao just wait till they get it figured out
Mine is Hawkeye too!!! So there is others
Did they get better this week? I think so? How are you an analyst

The harsh truth wow somebody had to say it im glad he did..If you dont win in the playoffs why even play the dam game..And i think this is the most important season too us in a while GoSteelers!!
Dam finally someone in national media just fed up with non losing season narrative. 7 seasons no playoff win is longest drought from Steelers since like late 50s.
As a Steelers fan long time, I would rather have a Super Bowl and then for losing seasons and another Super Bowl before I would take no losing seasons
I know they need a center, but I think they should sign Kamren Curl from Washington. I hope they get a better corner than Donte Jackson. He’s just going to get picked on like Levi. And just like Diontae Johnson, Conner doesn’t fit the narrative. If Cade Stover is still on the board in the 4th round he would be the one who fits the bill.
These have been some good moves honestly in my opinion. We need to get a new receiver next.
What about the O line. You’re not going anywhere with Wilson without a solid line.
Big Season is 100% for sure!
Steelers need to draft Cedric Gray to pair with Queen... Unstoppable
Steelers just need to sign Kenny Moore or Stephon Gilmore.. especially if the Bengals somehow grab Just Jefferson.. we need another corner opposite of Joey who should hopefully take another step in his game next season
I'm going to say it now. If Russell Wilson throws for 26 touchdowns and less than 10 interceptions, that's a formula to beat any team come playoff time. Including the Chiefs. Including the Ravens. Including the Bills who basically lost everyone in FA. KP8 threw 6 touchdowns in 2023. And the Steelers went to the playoffs. You're telling me if we add 20 more touchdowns, that's not Super Bowl contention? People aren't mathing the math.
Seahawks slipped on Queen
Crazier is that Queen was somewhat mediocre for several years before last season. And even crazier is Ravens seem to find new talent to replace such players leaving. Not sure why Steelers don't have the ability to draft and train/teach. They have lost their edge. Could it be the HC? Not sure but this isn't the Steelers of a decade ago.
Does Myles Jack come back? He has experience as both ILB and OLB and did well (especially considering he was coming off couch when he signed late in the season). Having experienced, versatile people like Jack and Peterson helped keep my guys competitive when injuries ravaged the defense last year. Russ is 36. He was a top tier QB back when Cam Newton and Andrew Luck were top tier. The bar seemed to change when QBs like Josh, Burrows, Watson, Mahomes and Lamar came along. To squeak into the playoffs with Rudolph and Pickett, it should play easier with Russ but it’s not getting them through the AFC gauntlet.
If Boyd is going to be this difficult time to move on this is a business you don't have time to play a game. Other player's are out there and you'll miss out on them and get nothing.
Amen, brother. Been a Steeler can since the Lambert days and I'm tired of hearing Mike Tomlin has never had a losing season!!
Russell Wilson is a Great Quarterback. He has won a Super Bowl Title 🏈. Denver Broncos organization is a Racist Franchise organization. The Head coach of the Denver Broncos was Jealous of Russell Wilson and his wife Ciara because they had THE most Expensive Mansion in Denver, Colorado..

To be honest, it’s probably going to be more of the same. Sure there will be some fun games, tons of headache games but idk that Russ and Queen are enough to really make this team AFC conference contenders or even divisional round contenders. Let’s see what happens in the draft and whether the OLine gets help from a good center and a RT while they move Jones back to LT. They’ll need another receiver cause CAIII ain’t the one. Hopefully Trice gets healthy and can go and develop like Peezy Jr has. IDK maybe the Pittsburgh identity needs to be completely changed in order for something big to happen
