Brian Batko, Pittsburgh Person of the Year, George Pickens issues apology

Hour 3 with Josh Rowntree: Steelers insider Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette joined the show. If the Steelers win their last two, they have a chance to sneak in. Brian thinks it's similar to 2021 and how they could find a way. Brian thinks Kenny Pickett could play and he had a similar injury while at Pitt. He practiced last week and made his way back to potentially play against the Bengals. Brian would play Rudolph because of Pickett's health and not being 100%, or where he needs to be. Brian doesn't think Pickett is injury prone. George Pickens was scrutinized for his effort the last few weeks. Publicly everyone is supporting him. Taylor Swift was awarded TIME Person of the Year. Who would be Pittsburgh's version? Josh argues it's Matt Canada. We hear from Najee Harris after the game on George Pickens and a lack of effort. People commenting outside the Steelers building have been negative and Najee doesn't think they should have an impact on the team's locker room. It isn't about good film or bad film, but all combined. Jaylen Warren's block on Pratt went viral for how dominating it was. George Pickens issued an apology. Was it a real apology? Austin doesn't think it's sincere and wants to see him ball out as one of the most talented receivers the Steelers have had since Antonio Brown. Does Mike Tomlin see wide receiver talent and think he can 'fix' the egos of wide receivers who have a lot to say or not do on the field?
