“Bleav in Steelers” host Mark Bergin shares his thoughts from the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 24-0 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night.
Bergin praises the play of second-year quarterback Kenny Pickett. The Steelers offense scored touchdowns on all five of Pickett’s drives in the 2023 preseason.
Pickett connected with Diontae Johnson on a 33-yard pass to convert a key third down on the opening drive. He also found George Pickens along the sideline for a 35-yard pass. Najee Harris capped off the drive with a touchdown.
Jaylen Warren capped off the second drive with an eight-yard touchdown run.
Bergin was impressed by the Steelers’ edge rushers, including sacks by T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig. Bergin thinks Herbig has been the Steelers’ best rookie this preseason.
Topics include what the team needs to do to prepare for Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers, how the team will make its cuts for the 53-man roster by Aug. 29 and what the Steelers need to accomplish for it to be considered a successful season.

Good reaction Mark, however I disagree with your week one prediction most are high on Broccoli Purdy😂 but when that front four put pressure and we lock down his receivers he’ll be real uncomfortable my prediction is 32 17 Steelers and if you bet now you can get a2 for 1 because Vegas agrees with you this is a steel. Thanks Mark
Hate to see the decisions to get this team down to 53😢
You don't think the 1st offense isn't holding back in pre also? They are! I believe there's a lot we haven't seen on that side too…I hope.
I don’t think it’ll be a class like 74 as that sets the bar a little too high and unrealistic but I think it can be good as 17. With all the contributors from watt, juju, cam Sutton, and James Conner
Best draft SINCE 74 does NOT mean as good. It means better than all OTHER drafts that FOLLOWED that draft.
This draft ABSOLUTELY has that potential.
