Couldn't be any clearer to me that Aaron Rogers once out.

By that, I mean, out of the pocket.

Good morning to you.

Good Tuesday morning.

Dan Kovachovich of D.K. Pittsburgh Sports.

And this is Daily Shot of Steelers presented by Fandul.

It comes your way bright and early every weekday.

If you're into hockey and or baseball, I also cover the other two teams in town,

the Penguins and Pirates, and offer daily shots on those. As well,

Mike Tomlin will have his weekly press conference today at noon over on the South Side.

One subject that's sure to arise is the recent performance of Aaron Rogers, whether the head coach

wants it to or not.

Because, you know, it's kind of pertinent to the ongoing proceedings.

Rogers, right now, to me, my friends, looks like he's starting to fall back into the New Jersey form that he'd shown through the better part of 2024.

And what that looked like was someone on the run, like a fugitive, like under fire.

And you know, just as it was then, for the other jets, it's a fair characterization of the current circumstance

and the current offensive line that he's operating behind. They aren't getting the job done,

certainly not in pass protection, and as a result, he's starting to show it. He's taking hits.

He's being thrown to the ground.

He's being forced to make passes he doesn't normally make.

And ugliest of all, and I really feel he's open to criticism on this count himself,

he's trying to get out of there.
