0:00.0	Hey everyone, it's Chris Carter here of the Locked-on Steelers podcast.
0:05.3	I'm your host here. We're doing an emergency episode. We do apologize for the lack of audio quality.
0:12.4	I'm on the road here in Charlottesville, Virginia, getting ready to cover Pitt v. Virginia
0:17.1	tomorrow as I record this, and we've had some audio problems.
0:22.2	But we want to talk about the breaking news for the Steelers, and that's that they have
0:26.0	released three players, three players that we were pretty sure they would cut, that includes
0:29.9	Ms. Chubisky at quarterback, Chooks of Corp for an offensive tackle, and Presley Harbin at
