The Steelers still seem to have uncertainty at the backup center spot as OTAs start to wind down, so Alex and I jump on that topic and discuss a possible addition that is currently on the roster of the Houston Texans. We discuss center depth around the NFL as a whole as well. Alex released his rankings for the Steelers current coaching staff, so we discuss that recent post in the middle of this show.

We also discuss what else is newsworthy concerning the Steelers now that their second week of OTA practices has concluded. We talk some about three position groups we feel the team could quite possibly address moving forward into the summer.
