Summary

Dec. 5 – Ep. 82: For this episode of The Depot Dive, Ross McCorkle and Joe Clark get right into the biggest topic of the week, and that's the future of Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. Do we agree with the calls to fire him, and is there an alternate path forward where he remains the coach with hope for a better future? Next, we discuss the state of the Steelers' offense and whether or not it is fixable. We discuss Pat Freiermuth continuing to be an afterthought and the addition of Adam Thielen, and whether he can make a real impact. For the last topic, we preview the Steelers' matchup against the Ravens and lay out what's at stake for both teams in this game. We also discuss how there couldn't be a worse setup to try to overcome the rushing performance the Ravens had against the Steelers in the playoffs last year. To end the show, we answer a listener question about play-action passing, and why it's not working in Pittsburgh. Thank you for joining us for this 40-minute episode, and we hope to see your thoughts in the comment section.

this year, what will you be saying on Trips TV? I'm not Artetta in. Like, I'm still Artetta

out, because the job's not done. I am fed up at they are talking about this high level of intervention.

0:50.5

If somebody told me that's a penalty last night, then I'm thank God I'm not referring anymore because the game has gone.

Welcome back, everybody, to another episode of the Depot dive.

1:04.4

We hope you guys all had a nice Thanksgiving week other than, of course, the Steelers meltdown against the Buffalo Bills.

1:13.0

We did not have an episode last week, and we missed our episode yesterday on Thursday because

1:18.4

Joe had some work getting done in his house, and coincidentally, I also had work getting done

1:24.2

in my house, and we didn't think you guys wanted to hear the soothing

1:27.6

sounds of a skill saw ripping through tile and stuff like that. So we spared you and returned here

1:34.5

on this Friday. We will be back to our normal Thursday shows moving forward. However,

1:39.9

before we get into it, Joe, how's everything on your end?

1:46.2

There's some baseball trades going on.

1:51.9

I know there was something involving the pirates and the socks that caught your attention last night.

1:54.6

Yeah, it was an interesting trade.

1:58.2

The Red Sox traded Yen-Garcia, the password.

2:02.2

It was one of their better prospects, but he's a corner outfielder.

2:06.8

Red Sox have a glut of corner outfielders and move him to the Pirates.

2:08.5

I thought it was a good bit of business by the Pirates.

2:14.2

They moved on from Johano Video, who I think you'd probably factor into the Sox rotation, and he has a minor league option available, so has some flexibility.

2:17.1

But he's arbitration eligible, and the Pirates get a guy that's played five games of baseball
