Jeff Hathhorn, Byron Leftwich wants to join Steelers staff, Chris Mack

The Fan Morning Show - A podcast by Audacy - Fridays

Hour 2: Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. A fair expectation is to expect the Penguins to compete and try to make another playoff run. Stanley Cup? We have to wait and see how other teams adapt and injuries. The Karlsson team makes you think this team won't be boring. Jeff thinks guys like him as a teammate and how he's working with the other stars. There are some concerns about him defensively. The power play is a major point of emphasis. Jake Guentzel is a game-time decision tonight and it's possible! Originally he was supposed to miss five games but Jake has healed well. Coming out of the bye, can the Steelers look like a similar team as last year down the stretch? Take care of the ball, take advantage of opportunities, and let the defense thrive. Byron Leftwich has approached the Steelers about joining the coaching staff, according to Mark Kaboly. The team has more or less been ignoring him. What could the Steelers do differently with Leftwich as a staff member? Why not have a third party be another voice during the bye week to talk to Pickett? It's someone the Steelers know. It would be similar to Bryan Flores coaching with the team. Why wouldn't adding Leftwich be a good thing? It's not like he wouldn't have significant say compared to Tomlin and Canada. Dorin thinks Leftwich should go to Art Rooney Jr. and get him on board. Out of the bye, can we expect the Steelers to look similar to how they did against last year's bye? Crowley thought that would be the starting point, but will settle for a team that runs the ball, doesn't turn it over, and plays great defense. 93.7 The Fan's Chris Mack joined the show. Expectations for Erik Karlsson. Chris thinks this has to be a playoff team and do some damage after the acquisitions they made. He doesn't know if they have Cup-level depth but it's better than last year. James Farrior is this week's guest on Oh Mama.
