Plus thoughts on if Hines Ward should make Hall of Fame

On his weekly Chipped Ham and Football podcast, Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko welcomes the Post-Gazette's retired Hall of Fame beat writer Ed Bouchette to discuss hot topics around the team.

Did Art Rooney II overstep in the team's firing of Matt Canada as offensive coordinator? And is the growth Kenny Pickett showed in the win against the Bengals this week sustainable? Our duo answers those questions and more.
