Welcome to the Terrible Take Daily Segment telling Steelers Nation what's on our mind.

0:04.7

I'm Ross McCorkel.

0:06.1

The Pittsburgh Steelers pulled off the unlikely win over the Indianapolis Colts,

0:11.3

the best team in the league if going by record,

0:14.8

and one of the most productive offenses in league history.

0:18.8

Yes, the Steelers defense, who couldn't seem to stop anybody, somehow

0:22.9

managed to hold the Colts to 20 points. And despite the 27 to 20 final score, much of the game

0:29.8

didn't really feel that close. The Steelers were in control for most of the game outside the

0:35.1

first quarter. By this time tomorrow, the trade deadline will

0:38.6

be here for the 2025 NFL season, and many have been speculating that the Steelers are after a

0:44.4

wide receiver. While that may be the case, I hope that they're also looking at other positions.

0:50.8

Unless they're going to take a swing for the fence and get a wide receiver like Jalem Waddled,

0:55.7

Jacobi Myers, or maybe somebody else that hasn't really been speculated about, it might not be

1:07.2

wide receiver along with Calvin Austin III, and D.K. Metcalf might not get used as much.

1:12.7

And do we really want to push Calvin Austin down the food chain when he's had a pretty good season so far?

1:18.5

The team's priorities at the trade deadline should be offensive linemen and cornerbacks.

1:24.1

Hear me out.

1:24.7

Offensive line has performed pretty well this year, but Isaac Siamalu re-injured his peck, which is notable considering he almost didn't play in Sunday's game. If that holds him out for any period of time, then the Steelers run game will suffer. Spencer Anderson will move to left guard, and their tackle-eligible jumbo package will suffer as a result.

1:44.9

Yes, they can put Andrews Pete or maybe somebody else in that tackle-eligible position,

1:49.7

but there's no guarantee it's going to operate the same way.

1:52.6

And if Sunday is any indication, they weren't able to run without an effective Isaac Sayamalu
