WATCH: Steelers NFL trade deadline reaction show with Paul Zeise & Brian Batko

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise welcomes Steelers insider Brian Batko to react live to the team's moves at the NFL trade deadline, including the trade with the New York Jets for receiver Mike Williams.

Did GM Omar Khan do enough to help Russell Wilson, George Pickens, Najee Harris and the offense?

Did he address the growing depth issues on defense behind key players including T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward and Minkah Fitzpatrick?

And how do the Steelers' moves compare to those of AFC North rivals including the Ravens, Browns and Bengals?

Paul tackles those topics, then reacts to the first night of college basketball season, which included Jaland Lowe, Ishmael Leggett and Pitt beating Radford. He also ponders whether Pitt and Penn State football can bounce back, as coaches Pat Narduzzi and James Franklin face key bounce-back games against Virginia and Washington, respectively.
