Welcome to the Locked-on Steelers podcast.

I am your host, Tony Serino, and this is your daily dose of all things Steelers.

My apologies for no podcast yesterday.

No internet here where I was, so it makes it impossible to do this podcast.

But I am back today.

We'll talk about what I wanted to talk about yesterday, which is really an extension of

the conversation we had on Wednesday about this franchise and about the Steelers organization

and how it has become the model franchise. You know, I got a lot of good feedback to that

podcast and maybe not the feedback I was expecting. A lot more people tweeting at me and responding

to me saying, yes, this organization is a

model franchise and it has led to a lot of success. But it has also, the Steelers mentality has also

led to this idea of squandering championships, right? And this idea that we don't act fast enough

and it has led to this team squandering quality

talent and I want to talk about that today because it is an interesting one and it is very much

it is a discussion of today right we wouldn't be having this discussion if last season had

ended in a Super Bowl we wouldn't be having this discussion if if last season had ended you know

in a way that felt more satisfactory, right?

But because of the way last season ended, of course, it is in the front of our minds now that,

boy, feels like this team could use some major upheaval to try and put this team over the top.

So I want to talk about that.

I want to explore that today, not just about last season, but about this organization as a whole.

And just the idea of squandering championships.
