Segment 1: Minkah at OTAs

Tom Opferman is in solo today on the Steelers Standard. He starts by previewing the Steelers Chargers matchup this Sunday. Then gets into the QB discussion regarding the Steelers and plays audio from both Fields and Wilson. He assigns his Big Ballers for Sunday's game to close the hour.

Tom Opferman talks about Patrick Queen and his start to the season, plays audio from he and Cam Heyward and discusses how the defense is much better this year than last year. Tom lights the fireplace and goes around the NFL for a lovely Fireside Friday on the Standard.

Yesterday Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin announced that once again the team's plan is to trot out Justin Fields as the starting quarterback given that Russell Wilson is still dealing with his lingering calf injury.

Tom and Jacob take a few more spins of the Wheel of a Thousand Questions all related to the Steelers Week 3 matchup against the LA Chargers, and they rank their top ten teams heading into the third week of the season.

The Steelers managed to beat the Broncos and improve to 2-0 despite only scoring 13 points, including only one field goal in the second half. Once again Justin Fields didn't wow anyone so the QB conversations continue. Broderick Jones got pulled early in the game because of getting called on three penalties in one drive.

The Steelers defense has so much top talent and depth resulting in back-to-back elite performances to start the season. Lots of Week 2 NFL action to discuss including the Bengals losing at the end to the Chiefs and the Ravens getting beat at home by the Raiders.

Justin Fields will most likely start his second consecutive game to start the season and he shouldn't have a problem beating the Broncos defense as long as he doesn't force the ball into turnover potential plays. Tom and Jacob make their predictions for who steps up vs Denver as a Big Ballah.

The Bills beat the Dolphins on Thursday and sadly Tua Tagovailoa suffered his third confirmed concussion since he came into the NFL. An in depth preview of this Sunday's slate of NFL action, and Tom and Jacob share who they got for the Triple Play and they pick a winner for Steelers/Broncos
