Welcome to the terrible take, many podcasts telling Steelers Nation what's on our mind.

I'm Josh Carney.

It's still very early in the process ahead of the 2024 season.

But so far, the early returns on new wide receivers coach

Zach Azani are quite positive for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Taking over for

Frisman Jackson, Azani has inherited a young but experienced receiver room, but it has more questions than answers this year.

While he has a blossoming star in George Pickens in the food, there is a lot of work and development to be done behind

Pickens in the receiver room.

Azzani is up to the task.

After a strong run in Denver as the receiver's coach with the Broncos and then a stop with the New York jets,

Azzani is tasked with getting the most out of the receiver room in 2024 under

offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. While there are questions about not having a wide receiver too behind Pickens,

and largely having just a bunch of seemingly random parts in the room,

Zani's enthusiasm, demanding style of coaching and overall energy are shining this

off season, especially coming out of O TAs and mandatory mini camp.

Rookie receiver Roman Wilson said that Azani is on him from a coaching style and he really

appreciates that.

While Calvin Austin III has said that Azani is very demanding in a good way, which brings out the best in the receiver room as he does not accept

mediocrity. So far, Azani is the exact type of coach this dealer's receiver room needed. One that is experienced as they come in the

NFL at the position from a coaching perspective. Has the ability to be demanding and very hard

on players but also has that personal side he can connect with.

Azzani's track record speaks for itself. That tough love he brings speaks for itself too.
