We can mine this connection, but only time will tell if it will work.
That being said, I hope so. I've been a fan of Russ since his days with the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos, and I have ties to Pittsburgh (he lived in Pennsylvania for 10 years), so I'm rooting for him to do everything right.
But like I said…only time will tell if that actually happens.
