Bridge City Pod: Recent Episodes
Jake Keefer
Bridge City Pod is a space to navigate Steelers' offseason chaos together. Host Jake Keefer presents his own completely biased and minimally educated opinions on narratives that emerge throughout the offseason while occasionally doing so through conversations with other fans.
Jake reacts to the Steelers being, like, genuinely active on the first day of legal tampering while also being supremely (and therefore characteristically) boring. Skip ahead to 7:05 for Mitch Trubisky content, or stay for the whole episode to get the lowdown on the Chuks Okorofor and Mason Cole contracts.
Jake briefly reacts to the Russell Wilson, Carson Wentz, Khalil Mack, and Amari Cooper trades. Then, he summarizes the most important things to know about free agency and the salary cap. Follow the show on Twitter and Instagram @bridgecity_pod.
Jake describes what makes the NFL Scouting Combine so enjoyable, recommends his favorite off-season content creators, and expresses human decency toward Stephon Tuitt and his family--which is a good thing; literally everybody should literally always be doing this to literally everybody literally all of the time.
Jake argues Hines Ward's HOF case based on numbers and narratives before being joined by Josh Haught and Jeremy Schultz for a roundtable discussion on the Brian Flores hire, Kevin Colbert's press conference, and the future for the Steelers' QB position. Can we make it through a whole episode without mentioning a QB from Liberty/Auburn? Spoiler alert: no.
In this week's episode, Jake evaluates Malik Willis' Senior Bowl performance (2:00), celebrates TJ Watt's DPOY win (7:30), contextualizes the Teryl Austin promotion (15:40), and argues for giving Diontae Johnson $15 million per year (21:00).
Jake makes an incredibly low-effort NFL comp for Liberty QB Malik Willis (2:24), argues a case to retain Joe Schobert in spite of his high cap hit (7:55), and rattles off a list of his favorite Senior Bowl players (14:00).
