The Steelers made a big splash with a massive trade with the Miami Dolphins. The Blitz reacts.

Uhler and Moats continue to discuss the Steelers recent blockbuster trade, and what it means for Pittsburgh's defense

Everyone is reacting to yesterday's blockbuster trade involving the Steelers trading away Minkah Fitzpatrick to Miami in return for Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith.

Minkah Fitzpatrick has been the Steelers top safety ever since he joined the team in 2019. Jalen Ramsey has been an All-Pro caliber starting cornerback so we could see a lot of three-corner packages with Joey Porter Jr and Darius Slay

The Steelers are now better on offense with the addition of Jonnu Smith, and it's arguable they're better on defense with the swap of Minkah Fitzpatrick for Jalen Ramsey. With improvements on both sides of the football, where do the Steelers rank in the AFC North and the rest of the conference.

The Steelers made a huge move today to say the least! Matt and Dale react and give their takes on the acquisition of Jalen Ramsey and Jonnu Smith as Minkah Fitzpatrick is being sent back to Miami.

The fantasy focus segment breaks down QB tiers, Matt and Dale also take a look at a top defensive front rankings list, and chat about training camps.

The Blitz opens up the questions for an open-ended first hour as we get closer to July and Training Camp.

A fun Craig Wolfley story is shared, and the Blitz covers some free agents still available on the open market.

Matt and Dale are back as Dale is feeling better. The guys answer listener questions for the majority of today's show!

Listener questions continue to be answered by Dale and Matt.

Even though the Steelers don't have a standout WR2, Aaron Rodgers can elevate the play of guys like Calvin Austin, Robert Woods, and Pat Freiermuth. Jaylen Warren and rookie Kaleb Johnson can be a better dual running back tandem than last year's.

There are a lot of what ifs for the o-line, but in 2025 it has the potential to have its best season since the Pouncey era. ESPN's Aaron Schatz and Seth Walder set out to create a 53-man roster to best represent the first 25 years of this century.

Since ESPN did such a poor job picking a league wide all quarter century team, Tom and Jacob take it upon themselves to decide the roster for the Steelers all quarter century team.

The Steelers chose to extend Safety DeShon Elliott to retain a key contributor in the secondary. Which Steeler who is up for a new contract could get their new deal done next.

From the defensive line to the outside and inside linebackers, every starter and most of the backups have the capability of being major contributors to the Steelers defensive front.

Minkah, JPJ, Darius Slay, and DeShon Elliott with Beanie Bishop as the fifth man might have the biggest question mark when realizing their full potential. Adam Rank lists his five NFL players who are most deserving of being immortalized with a statue outside of their respective teams' stadium.

This week, Michael is joined by Steelers punter Cameron Johnston. After an injury at the start of the 2024 season, Johnson is itching to get started in 2025. He chats with Michael about his NFL journey - and what's to come.

Matt and Dale continue their defensive position ranking discussion, focusing now on the rankings for cornerbacks and safeties.

Matt, Dale, and Wes are live from the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex and we hear from DC Teryl Austin's presser.

Coverage continues from the final day of Mini Camp. We listen to DK Metcalf's conversation with the associated media.

Ben Roethlisberger is arguably the best Steeler of the 21st century, and he was followed up by Russell Wilson for only one season, and now Aaron Rodgers comes to town. How do all three legendary QBs line up against each other.

Aaron Rodgers not only officially signed with Pittsburgh, but he has been an active member at mandatory minicamp, and it already seems like his impact is being made.

TJ Watt did not report to mandatory minicamp but it shouldn't cause too much of a worry when considering his next contract. With Aaron Rodgers now officially on the team, it's time to revise the Steelers win/loss predictions for the 2025 season.

The Blitz gets into more Mini Camp observations as the Steelers approach their final practice.
