Give me a defensive line you like better than the Steelers right now, or a defensive front if you want to include edge rushers, line, everybody.

Who has a better front seven in the AFC than the Steelers?

I'll wait on that one.

Denver's pretty good, but I just saw Trevor Lawrence light them up like a pinball machine in Denver.

They're comparable, certainly.

I don't know if there's a team in the AFC with a better front seven on defense than the Steelers.

Are there many offensive lines playing better?

Running back tandems?

Quarterback?

You think I'm talking crazy.

I think I'm talking sense.

When I say they can absolutely compete with, and all I'm saying is they can absolutely compete with anybody, especially up front where it matters most and that their quarterback's on a heater and that the two players on their whole roster that strike more fear into anybody, maybe other than Rodgers at the moment, TJ Watt and DK Metcalf are back.

Limits?

What do you think of my take right now?

I'm waiting for people.

I'm waiting for feedback.

Yeah, people are starting to call in.

You know, I want to hesitate just a little bit on it, although I agree with their overall point, where I do think that they can compete with every team in this AFC, and they have a chance to beat every team in this AFC as long as things go very well for them.

I still am concerned about the weaponry that Aaron Rodgers does have, because we saw MVS in Cleveland.

He's not a reliable guy.
