Brad Spielberger, Penguins need to stay healthy, MVP watch, Matt Bartkowski

Hour 3: Brad Spielberger of Pro Football Focus joined the show. Kenny Pickett had a 67 grade by PFF, his second-best of the year. He made some throws and good plays but bailing from clean pockets remains an issue. Broderick Jones only allowed one pressure and was solid at left tackle. Brad thinks you stick with Chuks at right tackle and he plays with the most edge of anyone on the line. Dorin thinks it's time for Joey Porter Jr. to start. Brad wonders if Patrick Peterson will take Kazee's spot at safety and transition to safety. Levi Wallace has also been the worst corners, but Joey Porter Jr. has been GREAT. Minkah is taking a lot of responsibility lining his teammates up right that we don't see him make as many splash plays. Crowley's Penguins hot take. Can the Penguins stay healthy this season? They did last year. This team is different to Crowley because of how healthy the top six forwards were. They STILL missed the playoffs. Crowley is worried Karlsson will play 55-60 games. Should Tua be the MVP favorite now? What about Brock Purdy? Purdy and the 49ers are having an unreal year. Purdy isn't built on having a three interception day compared to others. The guys have bought in on Purdy. The Steelers need to focus on making the playoffs. The AFC drops off after a few teams. Former Penguins defenseman and Mt. Lebanon native Matt Bartkowski joined the show. He is also a member of SportsNet Pittsburgh. Matt thinks the goal should be to get to the playoffs then anything can happen like with Florida last year. Karlsson can run the power play and be a high-impact guy. Reilly Smith is another good addition. A lot comes down to Tristan Jarry and his health. Matt said you don't know how good Reilly Smith is unless you play with him or follow him closely. He's a great acquisition for the Pens. Are the Penguins tougher to play against? Speed is also going to be more of a factor.
