Former Steelers OC Todd Haley says Pittsburgh WRs could mimic legendary trio
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ receiving corps is a group that has been ridiculed over the last pair of seasons, and rightfully so. While they’ve had a legitimate No. 1 in each of those seasons in George Pickens and DK Metcalf, the depth behind them (or lack thereof) has been among the worst in the NFL in each year. The likes of Scotty Miller , Van Jefferson , Allen Robinson , Calvin Austin , Marquez Valdes-Scantling , and Adam Thielen were the names expected to be legitimate options in that span. However, the Steelers added Michael Pittman Jr. via trade with the Indianapolis Colts and Germie Bernard in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Joining me on the latest episode of The Pump Fake , former Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley said that Pittman is the most important addition of the offseason for Pittsburgh. “Michael Pittman is a solid 1B, 2A – however you want to look at it,” Haley said. “He’s experienced, he understands how to play. I’m sure he and Aaron will get on the same page very quickly… I think the addition of Pittman is the most important addition for the Steelers offense” Haley also noted that if Germie Bernard can come along quickly, Pittsburgh could end up having a trio similar to the one he had as offensive coordinator with the Arizona Cardinals in 2008 with Larry Fitzgerald , Anquan Boldin , and Steve Breaston when Arizona made it to the Super Bowl. “With Bernard, he’s a key component,” Haley said. “How quickly can he come along? It’s hard as a young receiver to just show up and all of a sudden play against NFL coverages and defenses. So [their additions] are huge. When you have just one [receiver], it’s nice, but defenses can take one away. But when you have two, and maybe three, that’s what we had the benefit of having in Arizona. We not only had a great quarterback that understood where to put the football, and did it accurately, we had [the question] of who are you going to add extra coverage to? Larry Fitzgerald? Anquan Boldin? And if you do that, Steve Breaston was obviously fast enough to hurt you pretty quickly.” Fitzgerald, Boldin, and Breaston are one of just five trios in NFL history to all have 1,000 yards in a season, and the last trio to do it back in that 2008 season. And while it would be unfair to expect the current Steelers’ trio to replicate that, the offense would do serious damage if they can come anywhere close to Arizona’s high-flying offense that faced Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLIII.

49ers 2026 official schedule release: Home games galore early on
The San Francisco 49ers’ official schedule is out. No more leaks , although they were spot on once again. The 49ers will travel to the East Coast twice this season. They’re fortunate enough to have a bye week after one of those trips, while the second one is sandwiched in between home games against the Seahawks and the Rams. When you go through the schedule, it’s not a stretch to see this team winning double-digit games. That’s easy to say of May. The 49ers will drop a game or two they have no business losing, and will likely pull off a victory when their backs are against the wall. Let’s walk through the entire schedule. It’s a shame this will be an international game. We’re talking about two of the best teams in the league in arguably the best division in football. This game will be somewhat of a showcase offensively with Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay calling plays on each sideline. Brock Purdy will have some new toys to play with. He didn’t play against the Rams last season. Los Angeles also didn’t have to deal with Mike Evans , De’Zhaun Stribling, or Christian Kirk . This is a secondary that made Kendrick Bourne look like Anquan Boldin . The Rams will be much better in the secondary with Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson , both of whom were on the Chiefs last season. The 49ers’ home opener comes against Malik Willis and Miami . Willis’s targets consist of Jalen Tolbert , Tutu Atwell , Malik Washington , and a pair of rookie third-rounders. The Dolphins are also breaking in rookie Kadyn Proctor, although he’s playing next to an All-Pro center. It should be a relatively soft landing spot in the home opener for Purdy and company. The Dolphins’ secondary consists of four journeymen and first-rounder Chris Johnson. There are a pair of first-round defensive linemen to deal with, but this is not a team that should contend in 2026. Win your home games. Win your home divisional games. That should be the motto for the 49ers in 2026. They’ll have a great opportunity to get off to a 2-0 start at home. The Cardinals added a couple of veterans in free agency defensively, but only added two Day 3 picks to a defense that finished sixth-worst in the NFL in EPA per play with the fifth-lowest sack percentage. Arizona added Jeremiyah Love and Chase Bisontis on offense. They also signed Isaac Seumalo to bolster their offensive line and Tyler Allgeier to improve the backfield. It’s hard to imagine this team getting enough stops to contend with the upper-echelon teams of the league, even with an electric rookie like Love. The third consecutive game at Levi’s Stadium comes against the team that probably felt that it should’ve made the Super Bowl last season. Denver ’s big offseason acquisition was trading for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle . Aside from losing Dre Greenlaw , the Broncos’ roster remains unchanged. Bo Nix gets another weapon, but that offense was tough to watch last season. Will Waddle make that much of a difference? The Broncos were lights out defensively in 2025, but defense doesn’t always carry over. I think the Broncos take a step back in 2026. With that said, this’ll be a tremendous challenge for San Francisco’s wideouts. The second road game of the season comes against the reigning Super Bowl champs. Of the top teams in the NFC West, Seattle feels like the obvious candidate to regress. They replaced Kenneth Walker with first-rounder Jadarian Price. The starting free safety might be a second-round rookie. Seattle’s defense was otherworldly last season. They got by offensively with one threat in the passing game. They also lost their offensive coordinator. That’s not to say this won’t be an above-average team. Scoring a touchdown would be a step in the right direction for the 49ers against Seattle. The new weapons should allow that to happen. Another home game for the 49ers. May this one come against Brandon Aiyuk ? That would make for a fascinating matchup on Monday Night Football. Jayden Daniels would certainly appr [... truncated ...]
