Steelers Now
Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it’s joint practices like Thursday’s scheduled against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Joint practices are largely seen as better environments for the team than preseason games, and head coach Mike Tomlin has said his starters will participate in Thursday’s event, despite not playing in the preseason opener last Saturday.
So why are they better, and if they’re so much better, why do we still have preseason games? Alan breaks it down.
