On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast presented by Mike's Beer Bar, Post-Gazette insider Brian Batko joins host Christopher Carter to discuss former Steelers running back Merril Hoge's recent comments about George Pickens. Was it fair for Hoge to call the receiver "immature" for his sideline demeanor and social media conduct in the week since the Steelers beat the Tennessee Titans? What should we make of Pickens' explanation to reporters on Wednesday? And what action should the coaching staff take, if any?
Our duo tackles those topics, answers a reader's question about former players like the Raiders' Antonio Piece taking coaching jobs with little coaching experience and previews the NFL Week 10 matchup with the Green Bay Packers on Sunday at Acrisure Stadium.
