Steelers Need Depth to Step Up | Steelers Morning Rush
Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it’s how the Steelers can get back on track after their 27-13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
The Steelers came into the game against Philly banged up, with George Pickens, DeShon Elliott and Larry Ogunjobi all out. They left it even more so, losing Justin Fields, Donte Jackson and T.J. Watt in game.
Now they have a short week, with travel at both ends, before a critical game at Baltimore against the Ravens.
How can they right the ship quickly? It’s going to have to start with the team’s young depth like Nick Herbig, Cory Trice Jr., and others stepping up into bigger roles, or proving they can play at a high level again on short notice.
Alan breaks it down.
