Welcome to crossover Wednesday here on the Locked On podcast network.

I am Tony Serino of Locked On Steelers, joined today by Jeff Lloyd of Locked on Browns.

We are going to be previewing this Sunday's matchup between the Steelers and Browns.

A big one.

Jeff, how are you doing this evening?

Could be better guys.

Jeff Lloyd, Locked on Browns here.

Tony, obviously we might be the first ones to get to go here for the Guys, you know, Jeff Lloyd, Lockdown Browns here, Tony. Obviously, we might be the first

ones to get to go here for the second, you know, divisional crossovers. It actually seems like yesterday I was,

you know, talking to him as we were getting rid of kick off. I don't even think my kids were in school,

and all of a sudden now here we are knee-deep into it. Brought to you here tonight by Vivid Seats. I'm going to give you some breakdowns. One of the things we were just discussing before we got going here is there's a lot,

a lot of differences that go on in the NFL in this quick of a period.

I'm going to ask this first one of Tony here.

And this really isn't one of the differences because here it is.

And we were kind of wondering whether or not we were going to see in week one. Now it's, are we ever going to see Levyon Bell again in Pittsburgh, Tony? It just, it will, the drama will not end with

Leveon Bell. I feel like every day on the podcast, I have to talk about it because there's some new

news about it, but it does seem like Leveon Bell will return next week after the trade deadline. I think at this point, the indication is that Leveon doesn't want to be traded.

The Steelers have thrown his name out there as someone who could be traded.

And so, you know, he's going to wait until next week after the trade deadline to come back.

But yeah, you're right.

I mean, the last time you and I talked, it was, you know, will Leveon show up for this game?

If it's not, will he show up for the Chiefs game? And, you know, he's, he sat out basically half the season. But, you know, back then we were talking about the Steelers running game and James Connor very differently. There were a bunch of question marks about whether or not James Connor could carry the load in this way. And would the Steelers even have a running game without Leveon Bell. And now the conversation in Pittsburgh could not be more different. Even if Levi-on-Bel shows up, I'm not sure the Steelers are going to start him.
