The TOP 5 Steelers Teams that DIDN'T Win a Championship | Episode 55

The success of the Pittsburgh Steelers hinges significantly on the performance of their tackles this season. With Troy Fautanu and Broderick Jones stepping into crucial roles, the pressure is on for them to deliver after the organization invested substantial draft capital in their development. Former NFL lineman Ross Tucker has expressed his admiration for Troy's talent, but he remains concerned about Broderick's readiness for the challenge. As the season unfolds, the performance of these two tackles will be key to the team's success. Check out Ross Tucker's thoughts on the offensive line and how these players can impact the season ahead.

Alex Highsmith is at a pivotal juncture in his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. After a solid start, he must stay healthy and elevate his performance to secure his future with the team. To meet expectations, he should aim for at least 70 tackles and 9+ sacks this season; anything less, like last year's 6 or 7, won't cut it given the current state of the defense. With no guaranteed money remaining on his contract and the Steelers drafting Sawyer as a potential replacement, the pressure is on Highsmith to prove he’s worth the investment.

Let Muth cook. Pat Freiermuth must become a focal point in the middle of the field, making his presence felt in the seams. With Arthur Smith needing to get him the ball consistently, it’s essential to leverage his talent more effectively. After leading the team with 65 receptions and racking up 653 yards—averaging 38 yards a game—alongside 7 touchdowns, Freiermuth has shown he can be a major weapon. However, to truly unleash his potential, he must also bring more physicality to his game, especially in critical moments like that memorable 3rd and 1 against Baltimore in the playoffs last year. There's also room for improvement in his blocking skills; with better effort in that area, he can successfully create opportunities for others.

Dive into the legacy of the Pittsburgh Steelers as we explore the best five teams that never clinched a Super Bowl title. From the dominant 1976 squad featuring an astonishing roster of 12 Pro Bowlers and a relentless defense led by the likes of Jack Lambert and Mean Joe Greene, to the heart-wrenching 2017 team that faced tragedy with Ryan Shazier’s injury, our discussion covers the peaks and valleys of Steelers history. Relive the momentous 2016 season, where an injury-plagued offense fell short in the AFC Championship, and the 2004 powerhouse that saw a rookie Ben Roethlisberger lead a formidable lineup that was ultimately undone by turnovers against New England. We also reflect on the 1994 team, which boasted a fierce defense and a strong running game but suffered an upset in the AFC Championship to the San Diego Chargers.
