August 13, 2024 - Season 15, Episode 10 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday episode, which was recorded late Tuesday night, Alex Kozora and I get right to recapping the several transactions that the Pittsburgh Steelers have made since our last full show. We also go over the overall health of the team heading into Wednesday’s training camp practice, the final one that will be open to the public this year. We move on to discuss the report by Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that rookie OT Troy Fautanu will be a starter come the start of the regular season. Additionally, we discuss Dulac saying that Broderick Jones and Dan Moore Jr. will continue to battle for the starting left tackle position. We go deep into whether that makes sense and what the reaction will and should be if Moore beats out Jones and Fautanu starts at right tackle. Unfortunately, there is still no finality yet when it comes to whether the San Francisco 49ers will trade WR Brandon Aiyuk to the Steelers or just re-sign him. Even so, Alex and I go about recapping the several reports on Aiyuk that surfaced throughout the day on Tuesday. With the Steelers first preseason game of 2024 now behind us, Alex and I have both revised our 53-man roster predictions. We go over those predictions, the changes that each of us made and why, and more. We talk a lot about the offensive line and cornerback groups as part of us review our 53-man roster predictions. This 80-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted, and we close things out by answering a few emails that we recently received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

In this Monday episode, which was recorded late Sunday night, Alex Kozora and I get right to recapping the several transactions that the Pittsburgh Steelers have made since our last full show.

We go over the knee sprain sustained by rookie OT Troy Fautanu in the preseason opener and what that might mean when it comes to his chances of being a starter for the regular season opener. We make sure to go over all injuries in this segment of the show. The Steelers lost their preseason opener to the Houston Texans Friday night and with some tape homework now done, Alex and I go about fully recapping everything that happened in that contest. We go over the play of quarterbacks Justin Fields and Kyle Allen to start with. We then recap the mistakes made on offense, the good plays, formations, the play calling by new OC Arthur Smith and more. We attempt to roll through all of the position groups on offense and make sure to spend extra time on the play of the rookies. Alex and I flip over to recap the play of the Steelers defense on Friday night and who all stood out on that side of the football. We go through all of the position groups and highlight big plays and some poor plays. While the special teams aspect of the Friday night game wasn’t all that exciting, we make sure to add some analysis on that phase of the game. We also discuss several snap count totals from the Friday night game late in this show. Will California state income tax laws play any role in the contract negotiations between San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk and the team? How much relevance do state income taxes have in contract talks and decision making? We address that topic late in this show thanks to a reader email that we received asking us to go down this particular rabbit hole. This 96-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted, and we close things out by answering a few emails that we recently received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

August 9, 2024 - Season 15, Episode 8 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday episode, Alex Kozora and I dive into previewing the first preseason game of 2024 for the Pittsburgh Steelers that will take tonight at Acrisure Stadium against the Houston Texans. Alex and I go over the list of players who will sit out Friday night and others that might be deemed questionable to play. We also go over key things that Steelers HC Mike Tomlin said about the first preseason game on Wednesday during his most recent press conference. Alex and I go over what we expect to see Friday night in terms of positional groups and rotations and that includes the offensive line units. We talk some about the key things we'll be looking for out of QB Justin Fields against the Texans. There is an extensive list of players that Alex and I are excited to see play Friday night and so we go recap why with each of them. We also talk about watching the new kickoff rule in action Friday night. Other special teams notes are covered during this episode as well. After fully previewing the Friday night preseason game against the Texans, Alex and I then update the latest concerning the Steelers possibly trading for San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk. We go over the speculation that three teams could be in play when it comes to the Steelers maybe acquiring Aiyuk. We also talk about what a new contract might look like for Aiyuk should he ultimately land in Pittsburgh. Would an acquisition of Aiyuk impact the Steelers chances of signing WR George Pickens to an extension next offseason? We briefly discuss that question a lot of people seem to have later in this show. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 95-minute episode, and we close things out by answering a few emails that we recently received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Aug. 8, 2024 - Episode 19 On this episode of The Depot Dive, Joe Clark and Ross McCorkle attempt to summarize the many Brandon Aiyuk-related reports that have surfaced this week with the Pittsburgh Steelers seemingly among the leading candidates to acquire him from the San Francisco 49ers. We discuss how likely we think the trade is to happen and a possible timeline for the trade to get done. We then move into talking about the depth chart that was released ahead of the first preseason game this Friday against the Houston Texans. We highlight some things that stuck out to us on the depth chart and discuss some of the inconsistencies versus what has been seen out on the practice field at training camp. For the third topic, we talk about the preseason game and some of the specific players that we will be watching closely. Will Justin Fields have a Kenny Pickett-like performance and solidify this as a true quarterback competition? And how will the offensive tackles be aligned? We discuss all that and much more. We wrap up the show with a listener question where we discuss Cam Sutton and his role as a slot corner.

August 7, 2024 - Season 15, Episode 7 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday episode, which was recorded late Tuesday night, Alex Kozora and I dive into the possibility of the Pittsburgh Steelers being the team to land San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk in the extremely near future. This show is predominantly all about Aiyuk. We go through the timeline of reports concerning Aiyuk and the teams reportedly interested in trading for that essentially heated back up on Tuesday and flowed into Wednesday afternoon and evening. We discuss all aspects of what a trade of Aiyuk to either the Steelers, Cleveland Browns or New England Patriots might look like. We also discuss Aiyuk's leverage and if the 49ers have any chance of keeping him in San Francisco. We talk about possible the players the Steelers might be asked to include as compensation for Aiyuk as well. As part of us winding this show down, Alex and I rate our optimism when it comes to the Steelers potentially being the team to land Aiyuk. Late in this show, near the very end, the news breaks from Adam Schefter that the Patriots are pulling out of trade talks for Aiyuk, so you get our raw reactions of that news. We briefly hit on the Steelers first preseason depth chart being released on Wednesday to end things. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

August 5, 2024 - Season 15, Episode 6 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday episode, Alex Kozora and I start by discussing the overall health of the Pittsburgh Steelers on their second off day of their 2024 training camp. On the heels of six consecutive training camp practices being conducted, Alex and I discuss the Steelers' starting quarterback battle at this point of the summer and if there really is one at all. We talk about QB Russell Wilson not yet practicing fully, the nice stretch of six practices that QB Justin Fields put together and what HC Mike Tomlin recently told Kay Adams on her show about the supposed competition the team has or is having at the key position. Should Wilson indeed wind up being the team's starter for Week 1, which is something Alex and I both think will ultimately happen, will Tomlin be hesitant to make an early season change if things aren’t going great at the quarterback position? We attempt to answer that question and also address concerns related to any potential fallout there might be to the Steelers getting Fields on the field in limited situations should he indeed wind up starting the regular season as the backup to Wilson. After discussing the situation the Steelers might face in 2024 with ILB Cole Holcomb quite thoroughly during our Friday podcast episode, news has since surfaced that the team has renegotiated his contract to add split salary language and guarantees. Alex and I discuss exactly what has transpired with Holcomb’s contract and what that likely means for him heading into the start of the 2024 regular season. Alex and I then discuss a few things related to training camp practices this past week and we spend a lot of time talking about running backs and the offensive line. We discuss how RB Najee Harris has handled training camp so far and whether RB Jaylen Warren will get more goal-line work in 2024. We also talk about how the starting offensive line is trending for Week 1 ahead of the team’s first preseason game taking place on Friday. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 84-minute episode, and we close things out by answering a few emails that we recently received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

August 2, 2024 - preseason game of 2024 being played Thursday night in Canton, OH. The Pittsburgh Steelers signed veteran OLB Markus Golden on Thursday and with him being a familiar face, we discuss what his addition means to the team and if he should be considered a lock to make the 53-man roster moving forward. We also discuss the trickle-down effect of Golden's signing as it relates to other players at both the outside and inside linebacker positions potentially making the 53-man roster. With the immediate outlook for ILB Cole Holcomb not being great based on a recent media report, Alex and I examine the possibility of the veteran being cut this summer. We also discuss Reserve/PUP being an option for Holcomb and what role he would presumably have should he ultimately be on the Steelers' 53-man roster. Ahead of the annual Friday Night Lights practice being scheduled to take place, Alex and I recap the health of the Steelers after seven training camp practices. On Friday, Alex revealed five players who he thinks have increased their roster chances through seven training camp practices and we fully discuss each of them. Steelers OC Arthur Smith talked to the media after Thursday’s training camp practice, so Alex and I discuss a few notable things that he said. We spend a little time late in this show updating the latest news on the NFL Sunday Ticket class action lawsuit. We also talk a little about the Steelers' 2024 sack total over/under betting number. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 90-minute episode, and we close things out by answering a few emails that we recently received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

In this Wednesday episode, which was recorded Tuesday night, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the ankle injury that Pittsburgh Steelers rookie WR Roman Wilson sustained during the team's Tuesday training camp practice. We discuss the latest updates concerning how much time Wilkson might miss and what that means for him. The Steelers wide receiver room obviously took a hit with Wilson going down temporarily. We discuss the depth chart thoroughly during this show and go over our concerns the team should have at the position. We talk about if the Steelers can survive in 2024 with their current wide receiver group and speculate more if the team will ultimately add to that position prior to the start of the season. The Steelers made a few transactions on Tuesday, so Alex and I make sure to cover those. We also talk about Steelers QB Roman Wilson practicing some on Tuesday as part of the team's first padded practice of training camp. We also make sure to go over the health of the team entering Wednesday. Alex goes over several key tidbits from the Tuesday camp practice and that includes him discussing the fine session that QB Justin Fields had.

July 29, 2024 - Season 15, Episode 3 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the start of the Pittsburgh Steelers 2024 training camp through the team's first four unpadded practices. We go over the health of the team heading into their first camp off day, what is expected for QB Russell Wilson (calf) this coming week and more. The national NFL media are making sure to put out a similar collective narrative concerning the Steelers' starting quarterback job through the first four days of training camp, so Alex and I review that topic. Alex gives his thoughts on if there really is a legitimate reason to think that QB Justin Fields will earn the starting job over Wilson just four practices into training camp. Alex posted a list of his early camp top-performers on Monday morning, so we go over the players he noted. We also go over a few other training camp tidbits with the team now on their first off day. With training camp now underway, I go over where the Steelers sit currently from a cash spending perspective and what that may or may not mean in terms of future spending on players in the next 42 days. The Dallas Cowboys lost a key defensive player to a season-ending injury over the weekend, so Alex and I cover the impact of that loss with the Steelers scheduled to play that team in Week 5. The Steelers announced their 2024 Hall of Honor members since our last full show, so Alex and I make sure to spend time on that topic as well. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 82-minute episode, and we close things out by answering a few emails that we recently received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

July 26, 2024 - Season 15, Episode 2 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday episode, which was recorded Thursday night, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing several of the main tidbits and talking points to come out of the Pittsburgh Steelers' first training camp practice of 2024 on Thursday. We start by going over Steelers QB Russell Wilson missing Thursday’s camp practice with a calf issue and if he might be sideline for more than just one day. We then talk about what HC Mike Tomlin had to say about Wilson sitting out that practice. We also recap the health of the rest of the team to start things off. Tomlin had a few other minor tidbits in his post camp practice press conference that we quickly cover. We then move on to discuss the longer press conference that Steelers GM Omar Khan had on Thursday afternoon. Khan talked possible contract extensions, injured players and more on Thursday. We also go over what Khan said about the team's large amount of salary cap space they currently have. While we covered a lot of the Steelers' Thursday training camp practice in the special edition of the show, Alex makes sure to recap the most important tidbits to come out of that first session of 2024. We also discuss the reported Thursday training camp news concerning Steelers WR George Pickens and his late-practice interactions with his new position coach Zach Azzanni. We make sure to go over what is on Alex's list to watch for when it comes to the team's Friday training camp practice. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 58-minute episode, and we close things out by answering a few emails that we recently received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

We discuss Justin Fields running with the first-team offense while Russell Wilson sat out with calf tightness. Arthur Smith's offense looked as advertised in terms of the personnel packages and tight end involvement. We talk about the lack of hold-ins, the PUP and NFI lists, and more. We then move into some of the topics covered in Omar Khan's press conference including Cameron Heyward's contract situation, the wide receiver room, possible trade additions, Patrick Peterson, and other small topics. For the third topic, we discuss George Pickens reportedly being "visibly upset" with WR coach Zach Azzanni towards the end of practice. Is it cause for concern, or was this to be expected all along?

July 24, 2024 - Season 15, Episode 1 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers reporting to training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, PA earlier in the day. We get the housekeeping out the way early in this show and that means we discuss the two players who will begin the team’s 2024 training camp on the Active/PUP list, ILB Cole Holcomb and DL Dean Lowry. We also discuss RB/KR Cordarrelle Patterson starting training camp on the Active/NFI list with a hamstring issue. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin finally held his first training camp press conference of 2024 late Wednesday evening and Alex and I go over all of the key talking points to come out of it. Even though his press conference was shy of 15 minutes in length, we were able to spend almost 30 minutes discussing everything that he talked about. Steelers RB Najee Harris talked to the media on Wednesday after arriving at training camp and as expected, he talked about his fifth-year option not being picked up earlier in the offseason. We discuss all that Harris had to say on Wednesday and discuss his situation moving forward into the 2024 regular season. New Steelers QB Russell Wilson held his first training camp practice media session of 2024, and he gave us a few things to discuss in this show as well. Several other Steelers players met the media on Wednesday as well, so Alex and I pick through the relevant talking points to come out of those sessions. The annual NFL Top 100 Player series is underway now, so Alex and I go over the three players who have been ranked so far. We also go over a few jersey number changes that have happened since our last show. Alex and I then move on to finish discussing the final 14 players in my 90-In-30 series that has now been completed on the site. The 14 players we discuss late in this show are RB Jaylen Warren, TE Darnell Washington, WR Quez Watkins, OLB T.J. Watt, WR Duece Watts, DB Ryan Watts, OLB Julius Welschof, TE Rodney Williams, ILB Payton Wilson, WR Roman Wilson, QB Russell Wilson, ILB Jacoby Windmon, K Matthew Wright, and ILB Tyler Matakevich. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 88-minute episode and we close things out by looking ahead to the Steelers' first training camp practice of 2024 that will take place on Thursday. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.
