  • Summary

  • In his weekly YouTube appearance, Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise joins host Adam Bittner to weigh Steelers QB Justin Fields' performance in an evolving NFL offensive environment. Is his lack of counting stats so far a concern? Or does it track with passing numbers that are plunging across the league? Is it unrealistic to hold Fields -- and any modern QBs -- to the pass-happy standard of retired legends like Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees and others? Is Fields opponent this week -- the Los Angeles Chargers' Justin Herbert -- a perfect example of this phenomenon? Is this even, really, a passing league anymore?

    Our duo tackles those questions and more, then gets into some college football plus Pirates and Penguins talk. What's a realistic standard for Pitt and coach Pat Narduzzi now that they're 3-0? What Neal Brown's future at West Virginia after a 1-2 start? Can Penn State cover a huge number Saturday against Kent State? Has celebration of Pirates MLB debuts gotten over the top? And does Sidney Crosby's contract extension have any chance of resulting in another deep Stanley Cup run?
