Podcasts about Allar

Mike McCarthy said there will be no live tackling at Steelers camp. Joe is good with that. Will Howard and Drew Allar will split Np. 3 reps. Joe's conclusion is that Mason Rudolph is going to be the backup. Joe wonders where the opportunity will be for Will Howard. Bob and Joe think the Steelers are respecting Rudolph as a veteran and want Howard and Allar to earn reps as No. 2.

July 27, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 168 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I start by discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers getting rookie QB Drew Allar signed to his four-year contract on Friday. With the Steelers set to report to Saint Vincent College in Latrobe on Tuesday for the start of their 2026 training camp, Alex and I attempt to preview what that might look like and how it is likely to be different this year with it being the first year for new HC Mike McCarthy. Alex and I discuss a few key things that we will be looking out for on Tuesday and into Wednesday, when the team will hold their first official training camp practice. I have now released my initial Steelers 53-man roster prediction ahead of the team's training camp getting underway, so we go through it position group by position group. This 78-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we end this podcast by answering a few listener questions we received via email. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

July 24, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 167 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I start by discussing the latest serious injury that the Carolina Panthers are dealing with as they have now lost EDGE Nic Scourton for the season at the start of training camp. We talk about how the Panthers might call the Pittsburgh Steelers about possibly acquiring OLB Alex Highsmith via a trade. Alex and I discuss the several reasons why the Steelers aren't likely to trade Highsmith this summer. We also discuss what the Steelers should look for in the way of compensation if they even consider trading Highsmith away. Which players on the Steelers' current 91-man roster have the greatest chance of starting training camp on either the PUP or NFI list next week? Alex and I attempt to answer that question the best we can. There are now three NFL draft picks that remain unsigned as of Friday morning and included in that list is Steelers QB Drew Allar. Alex and I discuss how we still expect Allar to sign his rookie contract by Wednesday. After thoroughly discussing the latest topical subjects and news concerning the Steelers, Alex and I talk in-depth about the final seven players in my annual 90-in-30 training camp preview series. The seven players we discuss are OLB T.J. Watt, OLB Julius Welschof, WR Levi Wentz, RET/WR Kaden Wetjen, ILB Payton Wilson, WR Roman Wilson, and LB Jacoby Windmon. We give the summer outlook for each player and the chances a few of them have at sticking in Pittsburgh once the preseason ends. Will Payton Wilson log more special teams snaps than WR Roman Wilson receptions in 2026? That's an interesting question that Alex posed later in this Friday show.

Rich Gannon, a former NFL MVP, said that if he had Mike McCarthy for the first half of his career, it would've been different because McCarthy made him a better player. Does this give you confidence that McCarthy can turn Allar into a good QB? Baseball writer John Perrotto joined the show. John believes that the Mets fire sale is real and that they actually will try to trade all their relievers on expiring deals. He is not sure if the Mets will trade Luke Weaver due to the fact that he is under contract for another year after this one. John thinks that the Pirates might be hanging onto Marcell Ozuna because they don't want to make Oneil Cruz upset by releasing him. Donny Football Debrief – The guest list for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding has been revealed.

Joey Porter Jr.'s market isn't set because Christian Gonzalez and others in Porter's draft class are going to get paid this year. Porter may wait to see what they get. Nick thinks it's fair that the NFL is holding out Brendan Sorsby right now.  The training camp battle between Allar and Howard will be interesting. Nick thinks Robert Spears-Jennings will be solid and a good special teams player.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Joey Porter Jr.'s market isn't set because Christian Gonzalez and others in Porter's draft class are going to get paid this year. The training camp battle between Allar and Howard will be interesting. The Penguins don't want to take Darnell Nurse's $9.25 million fully salary in a deal. Would you trade Rickard Rakell and two first round picks for Jason Robertson? Robertson wants $14 million. 

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Mark thinks the Steelers may have no choice but to cut Will Howard. In his initial projection, Mark has the Steelers keeping three quarterbacks with Howard being released. Mark thinks Mike McCarthy likes to change multiple things with his quarterbacks to match the tendencies he wants to see. Mark and Austin think Drew Allar is better than Sorsby. Mark thinks Allar is "head and shoulders" above Brendan Sorsby!

Mark Kaboly isn't that surprised that the NFL isn't holding a NFL Supplemental Draft. Brendan Sorsby will not be able to join the NFL until next year. Where will he play? Mark and Austin think Drew Allar is better than Sorsby. Mark thinks Allar is "head and shoulders" above Brendan Sorsby! 

Matt from Living Treasures stole the show yesterday with his snake. Jack gives his projections for the Steelers 53 man on offense, including Rodgers, Howard, and Allar at QB. 

Steve Palazzolo joins the show to talk about how great Hulk Hogan's entrance theme was, how good Sorsby can be as an NFL quarterback, if the Steelers will try and get him in the supplemental draft, if Pittsburgh should already throw in the towel with Drew Allar, who he thinks will end up drafting Sorsby, and more! Would Austin Bechtold cry if Allar got traded?

The Pittsburgh Steelers have this new program for quarterbacks. Mike McCarthy raved about it and has put some big names like Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre through the same school. Dak Prescott even developed through it. Now, it's time for Will Howard and Drew Allar, and while Allar has shown the most early progress, Howard is really their first test subject. Because he could get a shot to prove it as a starter. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss the idea of punting on an entire draft class, if the outlook of the 53-man roster highlights the missteps of the NFL Draft and making as many selections as the team did, if the game day rosters should be expanded and if inactive players should be done away with, if there's a chance Drew Allar will play this season and much more.

Limits drove back to the station to defend his stance on Allar. Callers chime in on Drew Allar and the Steelers. Insiders think that the Steelers will be drafting a QB in next year's NFL Draft. Poni thinks that Penn State is to blame for messing up Drew Allar. Donny Football Debrief – RIP Aldon Smith.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Steelers reporter Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette joined the show. The Steelers are closing OTAs today and the young quarterbacks are getting all the reps. Ray thinks the Steelers are giving Will Howard every opportunity to win the backup job. Ray thinks Will Howard will end up on the team. Drew Allar has made "good progress" since starting his Steelers career. The Pirates have decisions to make on a multitude of players - Marcell Ozuna, Henry Davis, Dennis Santana, and Jared Triolo.

Steelers insider Mark Kaboly joined the show. Drew Allar and Will Howard are the only quarterbacks at OTAs. Rookies will be in the building next week too. He is trying to fix things with his mechanics. Mike McCarthy wants Allar and Howard to do footwork his way.

Hour 3 with Joe Starkey and Mark Kaboly: Drew Allar and Will Howard are the only quarterbacks at OTAs. Rookies will be in the building next week too. He is trying to fix things with his mechanics. Mike McCarthy wants Allar and Howard to do footwork his way. Mark Kaboly thinks the Steelers have "no choice" but to extend Porter. Mark thinks Porter is likely going to hold-in like T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward. Steelers are poised to "purge the roster of older gentleman" after this season with older players like Cam Heyward and others potentially being gone if this season goes poorly.

We take a break from sports history to talk about what is currently going on in the Pittsburgh sports scene. Did the Penguins make the right move in bringing back Evgeni Malkin? Which of the 4 Steelers QB's will be the odd man out after training camp? Can the Pirates stay in contention in a tough NL Central? We cover all of that and more in this special bonus episode of the podcast.Get our Steelers-Ravens book here!

In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson wonder what the Steelers will do in order to make sure QBs Will Howard and Drew Allar have room to develop as backups this upcoming season. Also, Pirates' broadcaster Kevin Young comes on The Fan Hotline. May 28, 2026, 7:00 Hour

Mark Kaboly joins to discuss the different schedule with Mike McCarthy, which rookie has impressed the most, Drew Allar's reps, the offensive line alignment, Kaboly details Derrick Harmon driving a very small car, his thoughts on Malkin's return and a hockey tidbit, Dean Lowry's return, will Porter Jr or Herbig sign extensions. Matt Clement joins to discuss his big day with Butler baseball, Braxton Ashcraft's performance, Dennis Santana's outing, Bryan Reynolds' under-the-radar success, Henry Davis and if he'll continue to get chances.

Ben Roethlisberger said on his podcast that he is nervous about Drew Allar, as the Steelers are planning to completely re-teach him how to play quarterback. Ben was also not a huge fan of the Allar pick in the first place, as he liked Will Howard more and watched Allar fail in big games. Mullsy thinks that the Steelers think of Allar as a potential future contributor, given that they used decently high draft capital on him. Poni questions how long McCarthy thinks it will take to develop Drew Allar into an NFL QB. Big Ben took a subtle shot at Mason Rudolph on his podcast, saying that there was one QB in his career that said he wouldn't help him out or mentor him. Mullsy thinks that Mason Rudolph is correct in this assessment. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike thinks that it is nearly a slam dunk that Mike Vrabel will be coaching the Patriots when they play the Steelers in Week 2, unless the situation somehow gets worse. Mike thinks that it is both possible for Brendan Sorsby to be playing at Texas Tech and for him to be drafted in the supplemental draft this year. Florio also says that there is going to be much investigation into the Josh Jacobs situation before anything happens.

Drew Allar is going under a total reboot courtesy of Mike McCarthy. Is that a bad sign for the rookie QB? What does it say about the teachings at Penn State? If Aaron Rodgers is their guy this year, when will we really know if this work has paid off for Allar? The guys don't want that to impact their plans in the 2027 NFL Draft. KDKA TV's Bob Pompeani joined the show. We reacted as the Pirates defeated the Rockies, 7-2, to take the series at PNC Park. Bob credited Endy Rodriguez for his work in the first game of the season, getting 2 hits in his 2026 debut. Bob said he's not a fan of the ‘opener' method, but it worked out for Don Kelly and his club today. What do we think the future looks like for Jared Jones that is working through his rehab assignment? Attendance of over 19k today in the afternoon finale at PNC Park just days after barely 13k watched Paul Skenes dazzle. Pomp said fans have good reason to not be there in droves just yet after so much losing baseball in the last 3 decades. The guys peppered Bob on a few questions about the NFL schedule. Bucco Minute – Calls after the Pirates 7-2 victory over the Rockies.

If Aaron Rodgers is their guy this year, when will we really know if this work has paid off for Allar? The guys don't want that to impact their plans in the 2027 NFL Draft.

Aaron Rodgers fooled a lot of people into thinking he was still an elite QB after week 1 last year. Is there really still a point in Rodgers returning to Pittsburgh this year. Poni does not think the Steelers will tell the truth about anything Aaron Rodgers related right now. He thinks that they are scared that they will offend Rodgers. Mullsy thinks that this is pathetic on the Steelers' end. ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi thinks it weird that Rodgers would come to Pittsburgh and not meet with anybody in the Steelers organization. She questions if he was ever actually here at all. She also says that part of the reason why the Steelers hired McCarthy is his ability to develop quarterbacks. Allar said at the combine that Mike McCarthy was the most interesting interaction he had. Donny Football Debrief – The Packers and Rams will play on Netflix on Thanksgiving Eve.

The Steelers will play the Saints in Paris this season. The estimated cost for this whole trip is about $4000-$5000. The guys think that there will be a bunch of Steelers fans that make the trip out to France, and that it will be a similar crowd to the games that are played in London. Donny is hearing that the Steelers are rumored to be playing on Christmas against the Buccaneers in Tampa Bay. This feels like a weird game to be played on Christmas, at least according to the guys. The Steelers have apparently uninstalled basically every one of Drew Allar's QB mechanics. Allar is moving through drills at half-speed right now. Poni thinks that Allar will be QB3, and that Will Howard will have to prove that he is ready to be Aaron Rodgers' backup. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Aaron Rodgers came to Pittsburgh without telling anybody within the Steelers organization just to play golf. The Steelers never even knew where he was. Mike thinks that Rodgers is overestimating how much interest other organizations would have in him if their QB position were to become open. It is also obvious that the Cardinals are not interested in Rodgers. Florio says that the Steelers are not realistically built to actually compete this year. Mike thinks that there will be a lot of Steelers fans that go to France this year.

Joe is sick of all of the Aaron Rodgers nonsense. Do people still care? Calls on Rodgers. We dive into 18 wheeler truck drivers. Did anyone actually see Rodgers this weekend? An expert on the Rodgers/McCarthy dynamic doesn't think this will end well. Callers aren't happy about Rodgers. Another truck driver calls who delivers diesel fuel. Nick Farabaugh joins to discuss Tony Hawk, how the Green Bay tenure ended between Rodgers and McCarthy, what's the alternative to bringing back Rodgers, revisiting how badly the Steelers fared in the first quarter of playoff games under Tomlin, can Allar become clutch if he wasn't born with that trait, where could the rookie offensive lineman factor in. Could the Steelers defense be top 10? What does Jamel Dean add to the secondary? Will this be Herbig's final season with the Steelers? John Perrotto discusses the Pirates good start, if the team is good enough to make the playoffs, how good Konnor Griffin can be, is Cruz inching closer to reaching his potential, the job that Don Kelly has done in his first year, the three greatest Pirates of all-time (Wagner, Clemente, Waner), what is Henry Davis' future? Kyle Dubas spoke today and it certainly sounds like Malkin will be back. How does Malkin's situation compare to Aaron Rodgers and Andrew McCutchen. Did the fans help shape the decision to likely bring him back? Callers are happy to bring back Geno. What would the Pens look like if they kept Jake Guentzel. Michael McKenry hops on to discuss the return of Jared Jones, what some of the relievers need to clean up, if Joey Bart is emerging as the best option at catcher, why Cruz is thriving against lefties this year, is Pittsburgh becoming a hotbed for baseball talent, is Skenes going to finish with a sub 2.00 ERA again? What can Bubba Chandler learn from Skenes? Is it possible for the Pirates to sign Skenes? We listen to Kyle Dubas' comments. Famous sports birthdays and deaths.

Mike McCarthy has had nothing but praise for Drew Allar thus far. Poni says that he is starting to come around on McCarthy, although he is not all the way there yet. Mike Defabo said that Mike McCarthy gave more feedback to Drew Allar than Mike Tomlin ever did to Ben Roethlisberger in his career. Poni thinks that this is because Tomlin just did not know how to develop quarterbacks. Mullsy originally gave the McCarthy hire an F-, but he has since updated that grade to a C.

Josh Rowntree joins to discuss Aaron Rodgers' whereabouts and his golf abilty, if it's even worth waiting for Rodgers, his reaction to rebuilding Allar from scratch, the Pirates tough loss at San Fran and O'Hearn's defensive blunder, if Don Kelly getting too much heat, what he'd address to fix the Pirates. Dennis Santana has not been good enough. Aroldis Chapman could be a target.

Kaboly had high praise for Allar's arm. Allar's awkward footwork drill shouldn't be a concern. We're sick of Aaron Rodgers. More calls on Drew Allar and if the Steelers could take another QB next draft. 

Mark Kaboly sticks around to talk about Drew Allar's early showing. The Steelers have found talent at QB, and hope that pairing Allar with a proven QB guru. It seems like Allar is the long-term plan. Joe thnks back to Terry Smith's comments about how PSU didn't always set up Allar for success. A caller thinks Allar didn't have the talent around him.

Mike McCarthy raved about Drew Allar on Saturday, saying that he made a very good first impression. There is definitely some excitement and buzz surrounding the Steelers third-round pick. Poni is not a fan of the Steelers first-round pick Max Iheanachor, as he thinks the Steelers have to teach him how to play his own position. Does Mike McCarthy deserve any credit for developing Aaron Rodgers? Mullsy says that he should take credit, even if he doesn't deserve it. Mark Kaboly was in awe watching Drew Allar throw the football. More on the Steelers rookie orientation. Calls. Donny Football Debrief – More NFL schedule leaks for 2026.

Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldo report from the team's rookie minicamp, where NFL draft selections including Max Iheanachor, Germie Bernard, Drew Allar, Gennings Dunker and Daylen Everette made their first appearances in uniform. How did Allar look as he looks to compete with last year's rookie QB, Will Howard? How will Bernard fill out the receiving corps next to DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson? And what impressions did Iheanachor and Dunker make as they look to find playing time next to established veterans Troy Fautanu, Mason McCormick and Zach Frazier on the offensive line? Our duo tackles those questions, plus the latest on QB Aaron Rodgers, who still has not signed with the team despite reportedly meeting with team brass including GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy.

On the Wednesday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edger Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner and guest Christopher Carter ponder lessons the Steelers can learn from past competitions between young QBs. They reference colleague Ray Fittipaldo's story in which he looked back on battles between Brian Brohm and Matt Flynn with the packers; Kirk Cousins and Robert Griffin III with the Commanders; and Brock Purdy and Trey Lance with the 49ers. Can Drew Allar and/or Will Howard replicate the success Flynn, Cousins and Purdy had as later round QBs? Does Howard have the historical edge as the player drafted lower? And what does Allar need to show at rookie minicamp alongside names like Max Iheanachor, Germie Bernard and Gennings Dunker? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks Aaron Rodgers future after colleague Gerry Dulac reported this week that the patience of Steelers brass including GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy is wearing thin with the former MVP.

Bubba Chandler walked six batters and leads MLB in walks. Joe thought Chandler may have taken a step forward though. Chandler responded well by not allowing a run in his final four frames. Carmen Mlodzinski has been better than Chandler, but Joe thinks Chandler's cushion needs to be bigger than Mlodzinski. Bryan Reynolds and Oneil Cruz are still having issues defensively.

Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Bubba Chandler walked six batters and leads MLB in walks. Joe thought Chandler may have taken a step forward though. Bryan Reynolds and Oneil Cruz are still having issues defensively. The Toronto Maple Leafs have won the draft lottery to pick McKenna. Bob doesn't think it's a slam dunk that it's McKenna.

In This Episode: On this edition of The Audible, Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom turn their attention to the AFC North and break down how the 2026 NFL Draft reshaped one of football's toughest divisions. Did the Browns finally add the right weapons to unlock their passing game. Did the Ravens reload the way they always seem to. And how much better did the Bengals get around their franchise quarterback. But the biggest headline might belong to Pittsburgh. The Steelers stunned the league by selecting Drew Allar at quarterback — a move that has fans buzzing and analysts wondering what the long‑term plan really is. Was it a reach, a reset, or a rare chance they simply couldn't pass up.   watch on YouTube -> https://youtu.be/nvtNETYl5ss 

Nick Farabaugh joins to discuss the Pirates. Joe did a Twitter poll about who the people want as Steelers QB in 2026, and it's Will Howard leading the way. Why isn't Allar getting as much support? Why are the Steelers aggravating Aaron Rodgers? Did Rodgers have any influence over the draft? 

Ben Cherington's stock is on the rise. The difference from a year ago at this time is remarkable. Skenes, Griffin, and Seth Hernandez all seem like A+ picks. Even Bob Nutting is looking smart for keeping Cherington. Are we convinced the Pirates are a good team? Callers chime in on Cherington and are relatively positive. Cherington failed last year, but the good outweighs the bad right now. Don Kelly has done a good job and is inching close to .500. Another caller is not willing to give Cherington credit just yet.

Why are the Steelers aggravating Aaron Rodgers? Did Rodgers have any influence over the draft? Can the Bengals make a huge jump? The Athletic thinks they could win the Super Bowl. Nick can see Cincy winning the AFC North. What could the Ravens look like? What happens at QB wtih the Browns? How does Nick rank the AFC North? Nick predicts Aaron Rodgers shows up just before mandatory mini-camp (May 30th perhaps). Do fans want Malkin back? Does he deserve a farewell tour? He led the Pens in points per game this season. Why don't some view Malkin's career similarly to Crosby's? Callers give their take on if they want Malkin back. A caller with a name that seems like a prank calls in and it's not a prank. Will Sid sign an extension? Joe is curious about AI. The Limitless Express with Sean - Don Kelly suspended, the Steelers mocked to take another QB in 2027, Oneil Cruz has an MVP candidate. Michael McKenry joins to discuss Bubba Chandler's struggles, the suspenions of Chris Devenski and Don Kelly, his expeiernces getting thrown at as a batter, Konnor Griffin heating up - what adjustments he's made, Cruz as an MVP candidate, how the Pirates have used the ABS system. Overtime playoff hockey is always good, but Joe would make a tweak. Does Tarik Skubal's injury impact Skenes' contract. A question about Kenny Pickett.

April 30 – Ep. 99: For today's episode, Joe Clark and Ross McCorkle recap the Pittsburgh Steelers' 2026 draft class with a deep dive on Max Iheanachor, Germie Bernard, Kaden Wetjen and Riley Nowakowski. Next, we single out the Drew Allar pick and give our opinions. What does it mean for Will Howard? Was this too high for a project? And what did the Steelers have to say about his potential? We answer all of that and more. Last, we talk the little-known unrestricted tender placed on Aaron Rodgers and whether that changes anything in their current situation waiting for him still. We wrap up the show with a listener question on Rodgers and Allar. Thank you for joining us for this 47-minute episode, and we hope to see your thoughts in the comment section.
