Steelers Chalk Talk: Rudolph is the big winner as Howard and Allar struggle against the Jets

The Pittsburgh Steelers fall to the New York Jets 17-0 in an ugly preseason loss — but was Drew Allar actually one of the problems? On this State of the Steelers postgame show, we're breaking down everything that happened in the Steelers' preseason loss to the Jets. 🏈 Drew Allar finishes 6-of-14 for 68 yards — but the box score DOESN'T tell the whole story 🔥 Allar faced constant pressure and was sacked three times 😳 Steelers receivers struggled with drops and missed opportunities 🚨 Will Howard throws TWO interceptions 🧱 Is Pittsburgh's offensive line depth becoming a serious concern? 💪 Steelers defense keeps Pittsburgh alive despite the offensive struggles 📈 Who helped themselves — and who hurt their chances of making the final roster? I actually thought Drew Allar played BETTER than his numbers suggest. He wasn't perfect, but between the offensive line struggling to protect him and receivers failing to finish catchable passes, there was a lot more going on than simply looking at 6-of-14. We'll break down Allar, Howard, the offensive line, the receivers, the defense and what this performance could mean as the Steelers get closer to final roster decisions. 👇 STEELERS NATION — SOUND OFF BELOW! Was Drew Allar better than the box score? Who deserves the most blame for the Steelers offense getting shut out? And how concerned are you about Pittsburgh's offensive-line depth? 👍 LIKE the video🔔 SUBSCRIBE to State of the Steelers💬 COMMENT your biggest takeaway from Steelers vs. Jets 🥃 MEINELSCHMIDT DISTILLERY Get 10% off your order with promo code: KICKOFF2026 Learn more about your ad choices.

Pittsburgh carrying four QBs into the season sounds crazy—so Homie Tate is breaking down the real question: four-for-what? Simple: protect the assets, secure the future, and refuse to let hungry teams snatch raw talent off waivers. • Aaron Rodgers (QB1): The undisputed general holding the keys for one last ride. • Mason Rudolph (QB2): The battle-tested vet who already knows how to steady the ship. • Will Howard (QB3): The young gun with genuine moxie and high-upside developmental juice.• Drew Allar (QB4): The heavy-investment rookie handpicked as the potential future. Tossing Howard or Allar onto waivers just to stash 'em on the practice squad is straight asset malpractice. With A-Rod’s clock ticking toward retirement, Pittsburgh is keeping the QB vault locked down tight.
