Steelers-Ravens: Should Mike Tomlin be getting NFL coach of the year buzz?

North Shore Drive podcast - Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more

On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey ponders coach Mike Tomlin's resume for NFL coach of the year ahead of his team's NFL Week 11 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. How much credit does he deserve for a 7-2 start? For decisions that include choosing Russell Wilson over Justin Fields at quarterback? Managing receiver George Pickens? Hiring Arthur Smith as offensive coordinator? Integrating new players including Zach Frazier, Mason McCormick, Mike Williams, Preston Smith, Payton Wilson, Patrick Queen and others into the lineup? And how do his accomplishments compare to those of competitors like the Washington Commanders' Dan Quinn or the Detroit Lions' Dan Campbell?

Later, Jason reacts to the Penguins deciding to trade Lars Eller to the Washington Capitals on Tuesday. Why did GM Kyle Dubas decide to make that deal now? Could Rickard Rakell and Marcus Pettersson be the next veterans shipped out in exchange for NHL draft capital? And how invested is Dubas in winning games while stars including Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang are still on the roster?
