The Depot Dive - Episode 8 - May 23, 2024

May 23, 2024 - On this episode of The Depot Dive, Ross McCorkle and Joe Clark lead off the show with a discussion on Justin Fields and his comments made during the first day of OTAs on Tuesday. He comes with the mentality of competing for a starting job, but how realistic are his expectations? We discuss the dynamic between Fields and Russell Wilson and how it seems to be a positive relationship thus far and compare it to some reports about his time in Chicago. We also make predictions on how many games, if any, he will start in 2024. We next move on to some praise being showered on offensive coordinator Arthur Smith early on in the OTA process. We compare it to comments made about Matt Canada's offense in the past, and why Smith continued to be an underrated storyline for the Steelers entering next season. For the third topic, we discuss Patrick Peterson stating his desire to return to the Steelers and whether or not we see that happening at some point this offseason. We also discussed some other comments he made about the quarterback situation in Pittsburgh and why he might be experiencing some FOMO. For the final topic, we discuss a pair of running backs recently signed to the roster in Jonathan Ward and La'Mical Perine. The show is wrapped up by a listener question asking about the rookie wall lining up with the difficult final eight games of the schedule and whether that could spell trouble for the Steelers.
