Summary

Aug. 15, 2024 - Episode 20 On this episode of The Depot Dive, Joe Clark and I go through the various aspects of the Pittsburgh Steelers' opening preseason game against the Houston Texans. We discuss Justin Fields' performance, Troy Fauntanu's early struggles, the snap issues, and more. We discuss the report that Troy Fautanu is going to be the Week 1 starter at right tackle and why that was a bit surprising given the injury he is currently dealing with. We then move into a discussion on the Atlanta Falcons—the Steelers' Week 1 opponent—and how they have dramatically improved their defense with two recent signings. We talk about how important this game is for the Steelers and for Russell Wilson and what challenges the new additions might present. Matt Judon in particular could create some issues for the Steelers' young tackles. For the third topic, we talk about the various position battles that are still underway and we weigh in on center, offensive tackle, defensive line, and outside linebacker. Thank you for joining us for this 36-minute episode, and we hope to see your thoughts in the comment section.
