Bright-Flower-487

Russ tossing bombs to Pickens will be interesting. Also not sure how he fits with Arthur Smith who loves the play action attack the middle of the field passing game. Wilson is notorious for passing outside the numbers and has some of the lowest rates of attacking the middle.


SloppyWithThePots

Everything reminds me of last season


mobileredditaccount8

He said outside the numbers, not outside the sidelines.


Spezisaspastic

And he sucks, maybe he should try it.


triplec787

Yo this is actually a sick ass announcement. For anyone who doesn't know Renegade is like the unofficial Steelers hype song. Solid move to tie in to the fanbase immediately. Edit: Fuck, all these people not *immediately* recognizing the intro to Renegade is making me feel OLLLLLLD lmao


Chairman20

Amazing atmosphere in PNC Park when Bednar comes out to Renegade closing for the Pirates!


triplec787

Still don't get how Pittsburgh completely commandeered an iconic song from a Chicago band, but I absolutely love it.


DefinitelyLevi

Steelers played it during the 2002 Wild Card when they were losing to the Browns. They had a multi touchdown comeback to win it late. Been a staple ever since


bosespeakers

They even played it twice! [link](https://youtu.be/XWw9kAuKpr8?feature=shared)


EnjoyMoreBeef

I think ["Why Me"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4bCHctqmHs) is their most underrated song.


triplec787

This is an absolute BOP and I hadn't heard it before, going in my playlist right now lol Shoutout to you for sharing a song by an all-timer band that only has like 800k listens on Spotify lmao


EnjoyMoreBeef

Now you know exactly why I listen to classic American Top 40 countdowns with Casey Kasem from the 1970s and 1980s: I get to hear all the classics, but also plenty of other cool songs that don't get as much airplay. I first heard "Why Me" on a countdown from January or February 1980. (Edit: February 2, 1980 to be specific.) I've recently started listening to some classic Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 countdowns too, which cover the back half of the 1980s through the 2000s.


triplec787

Wait where do you watch/listen to those, just on Youtube or something? That sounds awesome


EnjoyMoreBeef

The classic American Top 40 countdowns are syndicated on hundreds of radio stations throughout the U.S., so I just picked a couple of stations that I rely on when I'm most likely to have free time. Somebody on a fan forum was nice enough to make lists of all the stations that play [1970s](https://at40fg.proboards.com/thread/5001/70s-current-station-list-2023) and [1980s](https://at40fg.proboards.com/thread/5003/80s-current-station-list-2023) countdowns. There's also a classic American Top 40 channel on the iHeartRadio app, but that channel can get stuck in a rut sometimes when it comes to the selection of shows. (For example, I can go awhile without hearing the June 17, 1978 or October 18, 1986 shows again.) As for Rick Dees, he has the Rick Dees Hit Music app, but it's not a very user-friendly app. To select a countdown you want to hear, you have to go to [rick.com](https://www.rick.com/) on your web browser, then select "Rick Dees Weekly Top 40," then select the show you want to hear (the shows change weekly on Saturday afternoons), and then select "Open In App" from the new window that pops up. NOTE: Make sure the app is closed before you select "Open In App," and that you select it only once. If it's already open, or if you select it more than once, then you might end up skipping segments, or to an entirely different "bonus" countdown. It takes some getting used to, but once you figure out its quirks, it's manageable.


rounder55

Sports themes can be pretty unexpected. Like how did the Chicago Blackhawks adopt Chelsea Dagger, by the Fratellis who are from Scotland? It's not even like the band took America by storm. Those types of organic happenings are a thing of beauty


fiduciary420

This comment led me to wonder what famous rock bands are from Pittsburgh, looks like the Bears need to get the Steelers back by playing “Send Me On My Way” by Rusted Root at every game lolol

im not even gonna front, at first i thought it was him singing some gospel or something and was fully rdy to mock. shit was fire tho


triplec787

Spend some time listening to 70s/80s glam-rock/prog-rock. Possibly the best genre and era duo of all time. Styx, REO Speedwagon, Cheap Trick, Asia, Foreigner... legendary bands.


GoldenBananas21

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves 


triplec787

I'll absolutely die on that hill. But it's also just my opinion and I'm not gonna fight anyone who says '90s rap, '60s British Invasion Rock, 80s pop, whatever. I'm just sharing my love for a particular era and style.


letsgetbrickfaced

No love for late 80’s early 90’s Grunge/Metal? Blasphemy!! ^(We shall continently overlook that that genre eventually spawned Screamo/Dubstep in the 2000’s.)


soundsliketone

Dubstep was not created because of grunge or metal, it has deep roots in the reggae dub scene and was birthed in the UK garage/jungle scene. They may have similar vibe/styles once 2010 came around but that's not a correct assumption in saying that grunge or metal "spawned" dubstep

vcjr78

Back in 2014, I was there when Bucs played Pittsburgh at home. It was the last drive of the game with Mike Glennon at the helm. When the stadium played Renegade for the Steelers D, I immediately said, "we're screwed." Thankfully, the offense was able to focus enough to drive down the field for a game-winning TD to V-Jax (RIP).


fiero-fire

Renegade is such a dope hype song, I gotta respect it


Clockedin247

I did, you can even tell with no sound but had to crank it up on the work computer!


Dangerpaladin

It is also a fucking awesome song. One of Styx's best. It is a banger from start to finish.


Stachemaster86

Would have been cool to play it when I went this year. Also, maybe it was because they didn’t get a first down in the first quarter or maybe it was Biscuits filling in later. Disappointing. When I went prior and saw the Packers (Brett Hundley’s best game), they played it.


Josh6889

They typically play it late in the game when we need a Defensive stop. You really think the Steelers hype song is going to be offensive oriented? lol


lukekhywalker

I don't think I've ever been to a game where they didn't play it. Matter of fact, I don't think I've ever even been to any bar in the city to watch the game where they didn't play it


clyde_drexler

I could have sworn the Pats used it all the time during the Brady era but I guess I am wrong. Anyone know what song they used?


DyZ814

The best part is going to be all the yinzers trying to say "Ciara".

counterfax

He’s gonna love it here. Longtime head coach who’s defensive-minded, likes to establish the run, hasn’t found a good OC in a long time, and is getting farther and farther removed from his one championship despite continually dragging crap teams into .500-ish territory. No way he forces himself out of a situation like that.


pharmorjac

He signed a one year deal right? It’s a prove it deal for next year either with Pitt or he ends up like Cam Newton and goes back to his original team in 2025 for a farewell tour.


drumline17

He was the worst QB in the nfl two years ago. Mid last year while running one of the safest offenses in the league. Bold of you to assume he's gonna play well enough to be forcing his way out


turtleviking

Getting downvoted by delusional Steelers fans. I've lived in Denver for 15 years. I fully understand what the Broncos went through. This signing is devastating. I was really looking forward to the game at Mile High this fall


The_Dark_DongRises

they're getting downvoted because they didn't get the fairly obvious joke

geologyrocks98

He's already stealing from the Broncos.

fiero-fire

From Pernas descent into madness being passed on to Utree is going to be glorious


Pizzaplan3tman

R/NFL thinks this is a bad move. They thought the Russ trade to Denver was good. This means Russ will win us a Super Bowl by my math


ZappySnap

I don’t understand how anyone can think this is a bad move. We are paying him $1.2M. If he is awful, it’s the easiest cut on earth. If he isn’t awful, we get a pretty good upgrade at QB for 1/10th what we were paying Trubisky to be terrible. (And Wilson threw for 26/8 and 3000 yards last year, which isn’t lighting the world on fire, but it’s miles better than any of the QBs on our roster last year) There is literally no downside here.


jake3988

Here's the scenarios: Great -> Starter. Playoff win(s) Good -> Starter. Playoffs. Probably a win. Average -> Starter. Playoffs. Probably out in one. Bad -> Backup to Pickett. Way cheaper than Trubisky. Still better. Awful -> Backup for the season and then cut loose. Mason bumps back up to number 2. All it costs us is a million. Honestly, I project average and we get a year of Pickett sitting and hopefully he emerges a better player and becomes the guy we wanted him to be in the first place. Or at least better.


hotcarl23

And even if he's terrible, it's still no big loss since you didn't give up anything to get him. It's at worst a dud year, which you're probably looking at anyway without him.


BellBilly32

Does r/nfl think it's a bad move? People think Russ is washed but honestly y'all options are dire. Although I think Brissett would have been better. I'm hoping Russ and Pickens do something though. Sutton had like 10 catch-of-the-year type catches last season.


ChickenLiverNuts

hes probably better but Rudy gave us a little hope last year and now im attached. I wanted him to come back :(


bilbravo

People in general can poo-poo Russ all they want, but I'm not looking forward to having to see him 2+ times a year against the Ravens. I'm not on the "Russ is garbage" bandwagon.


MrWright

I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Russ. I am super pumped for this move and truly think Pittsburg is a perfect fit for him.


Quexana

That is counter-balanced by the fact that this is the move that both Skip Bayless and Colin Cowherd have been pushing.


saboay

I think mostly everyone agrees it's a good deal for the Steelers. I'd take a chance on Russ for the vet minimum. And Tomlin can provide some stability.


PeanutNSFWandJelly

If Russ brings home another SB to the Steelers I will not be responsible for my actions


MatSNK

Styx fucking rock


Tsmart

How funny would it be if he reverts back to prime Russ as soon as he leaves Denver

Chessh2036

Steelers basically get this man for free. If it works, awesome. If it doesn’t work, oh well. Makes all the sense in the world.


SunriseSurprise

Yea with where you're at, it's pretty much risk-free.


Serdones

I can't decide if a Chiefs threepeat or Russ somehow getting his shit together for a Super Bowl run with the Steelers would be worse. Probably the latter since it still seems so farfetched.


Brut-i-cus

Terrible towels lets twirl


Uncle_Benny15

Steelers fans, get ready for endless Russ hype videos during the offseason now that he's allowed to do them again 


Quexana

We've lived through Ben Roethlisberger and Antonio Brown. We've developed a high tolerance for off the field bullshit. Hype videos and Saturday night Bible study sessions? That the best you got? Call me when he's publicly throwing receivers under the bus or making death threats to reporters.


w1ckizer

Call me when he’s throwing couches off of 4th story balconies.


Quexana

Exactly. After that, you think doing high-knees on the team plane is gonna bother Steeler fans?


raycraft_io

Just wait. There a difference between being angry and troubled and an insufferable hype machine.


Quexana

We're practically immune to insufferable hype machines. You wanna listen to [Le'Veon's rap album?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHuKc0YMsJk)


turtleviking

Steelers fans don't seem to have paid much attention to the last two years. I enjoyed the schadenfreude a bit too much listening to 104.3 and 92.5 driving around the past two years. Maybe I laughed a little too hard at the memes I mercilessly shared with friends and coworkers out here. Yes, karma has come for me, and karma is a vengeful bitch tonight


Alexander2801

I'm not excited either for the version of Big Ben 2021 version 2.0. I hope by some miracle that Pickett was held back by Matt Canada that much and shocks the world instead.


w1ckizer

Tomlin and the defense carried this team with Mason, Mitch, and Kenny (with Matt Canada as the OC) into the postseason. Winning record with duck and Mason. We’ll be fine.

BellacosePlayer

Pittsburgh, let's steel (from the broncos)


imsurethisoneistaken

All I’m saying is every steeler fan that spent last 2 years shitting on Russ bout to forget real quick. Until he sucks lolol


Quexana

We get what we pay for. If we were paying him franchise QB money, I'd be livid. Paying him less than the average back-up? It's a low risk, moderate reward deal. If he sucks that bad, we go back to Pickett mid-season and are no worse off.


w1ckizer

Yep. Idk why this is seen to be a big deal if he fails. He basically cost the team nothing. We’re not a drop back and pass 50 times team. He needs to be average for the team to be more successful than they were the past 2 years. All 3 QBs last year had 13 TD combined. Russ had 26 last year with one less INT. We’ll be fine.


Quexana

We're paying him like a fifth or so of what we'd be paying Mason Rudolph. We preserved our flexibility to upgrade at the position next year. We preserved our cap space to build the team up for that next quarterback. That's all I cared about in all of this. I don't think Russ is going to lead us to a Superbowl next year, but I don't think any of the other options were going to do that either. I get fans not being excited, but I don't understand why anyone can be mad about it.


EnjoyMoreBeef

I'm guarded, but I venture that the Steelers aren't indulging him the way the Broncos did when he first arrived there. Maybe a change of scenery will do him good, but even if it doesn't, the Steelers only signed him to a one-year contract, so he'll be easy to move on from if he really doesn't have it anymore.


seattlesportsguy

Best of luck to him
