'Kenny Pickett Enhancing Line Audibles; TV Host's Embarrassing Dwayne Haskins Mistake'

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett reveals expanded responsibilities, former Steelers heading to new teams, ex-Penguin attempting NHL comeback.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett recently spoke to the media about his expanding responsibilities on the team. He discussed his improved ability to make pre-snap reads and adjustments at the line of scrimmage, which has contributed to the offense's success in the red zone during practices. Pickett expressed his comfort with the system and his desire to take ownership of the offense.

This development is significant considering what tight end Pat Freiermuth revealed on Ben Roethlisberger's podcast a few months ago. Freiermuth mentioned that the offense lacked the ability to make audibles and adjustments in the previous season. Pickett, however, has now gained more control and feels more comfortable making these decisions in his second year.

In a surprising and cringeworthy mistake, sports television host Colin Cowherd included the late Dwayne Haskins on a list of quarterbacks who couldn't win a Super Bowl. Haskins tragically passed away 16 months ago in a car accident. Cowherd seemed to be distracted by another error on the graphic and did not realize the mistake regarding Haskins.

Two former Steelers players have found new teams. Tackle Rashaad Coward has signed with the Houston Texans after previously having stints with the Steelers, Jaguars, and Falcons. Kicker Matthew Wright has joined the Carolina Panthers due to a groin injury to their current kicker. Wright has had successful fill-in appearances for the Steelers in the past and has been reliable throughout his career.

Additionally, former Penguin Brandon Sutter is attempting an NHL comeback with a tryout for the Edmonton Oilers. Sutter, who last played for the Vancouver Canucks in the 2020-21 season, is looking to make a return to the ice after battling the effects of long covid.

These recent developments in the Pittsburgh Steelers and Penguins communities showcase the evolving dynamics of the teams and the determination of their former players to continue their careers in new environments.
