In his weekly YouTube appearance, Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise joins host Adam Bittner to break down the Steelers' best- and worst-case scenarios for the year ahead. Can they win 12 or 13 games if Russell Wilson is his old self and if the offensive line -- including youngsters Troy Fautanu, Zach Frazier -- reaches it potential quicker? Could they have a losing record if Wilson isn't as advertised; if receivers behind George Pickens prove not to be good enough; and if the line has a steep learning curve? And which group should we feel most confident in between the WRs, CBs, QBs and OL? Our duo tackles those topics and more around the football world. Including: Did GM Omar Khan risk spending too much on defense with the Cam Heyward extension? How viable does Penn State look as a college football playoff contender after Drew Allar and Co. dominated West Virginia on Saturday? How much more creative did OC Andy Kotelnicki's Nittany Lions offense look? And can new Pitt OC Kade Bell's group perform against better competition after piling up 55 points against Kent State? The guys wrap the show by talking Pirates. Who is responsible for David Bednar's struggles as closer this year? And should the Kansas City Royals' rapid rebuild be the new bar for Pirates GM Ben Cherington and manager Derek Shelton?
