FOOTBAHLIN MERCH:https://footbahlin-with-ben-roethlisberger.clockwise.io/productsPreseason football always tempts you to overreact, and we fight that urge the only way we know how: by going straight to the decisions that will matter when the games count. From Buffalo's new stadium quirks to a broadcast that somehow missed key moments, we use the chaos as a reminder that the NFL is a details league and the Steelers' margin for error is tied to roster choices and execution, not preseason vibes.The biggest debate is simple and heated: do you keep three quarterbacks or four on the 53-man roster? We walk through the real roster math and why that extra QB spot can quietly steal depth from the offensive line, defensive backs, or special teams units that you'll lean on once injuries hit. Then we get into what we actually saw from the young quarterbacks, including Will's poise, ball placement on RPO throws, and the context behind a turnover that looks worse on TV than it does on film. We also talk about Drew's arm talent, his progress with footwork, and why preseason miscommunication with receivers shouldn't be mistaken for a QB problem.From there, it's all about the trenches and the ripple effects. We break down the Steelers' offensive line outlook and the right tackle battle, why we'd rather live with rookie lumps than slow growth on the bench, and how an efficient run game is the key that unlocks play-action and the entire West Coast offense around Aaron Rodgers. We also hit defensive standouts on the roster bubble, special teams return-game worry, and the tough human side of cut week when careers change overnight.If you're getting ready for Week 1 and want a clear Steelers season preview without the noise, hit play, subscribe, and share this with a friend. After you listen, leave a review and tell us: three quarterbacks or four, and who's your pick for QB2?

FOOTBAHLIN MERCH:https://footbahlin-with-ben-roethlisberger.clockwise.io/productsA preseason box score can make you feel like everything is falling apart, and that's exactly why we wanted to talk through Steelers vs Jets while the emotions were still fresh. We're recording late, dads' bedtime late, and we start with a quick shoutout to Mel Blunt's golf tournament and the Mel Blunt Youth Home before getting into the real question: what actually matters after a turnover-heavy night with no points on the board?We break down the biggest Week 2 takeaways across all three phases. On special teams, we're excited about what the punter can do with placement and distance, and we're honest about the kicker concerns. On offense, we talk about why the Dowdle and Warren pairing could become a real engine for the run game, play action, and screens, and why the offensive line needs time to gel before we draw hard conclusions.Then we go deep on the quarterback competition. Ben walks through what he saw from Will Howard beyond the two interceptions, including how a safety look can bait a young QB and how route details like a receiver “stair step” can change the outcome. We also unpack Drew Allar's flashes, from arm strength to mobility to ball security under pressure, and why protection and drops can skew any preseason evaluation. We wrap by looking ahead to Buffalo and explaining why flipping the reps could give the cleanest QB2 read.If you're following the Steelers preseason and want analysis that's calmer than hot takes but still honest, hit subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review. Who do you think should get the edge for the backup quarterback job right now?

One preseason game can't crown a season, but it can expose a direction and the Steelers finally looked like they're choosing one. We hit record right after the opener to talk through what jumped off the screen: the offense has a different feel, the play design creates cleaner windows, and the overall approach looks more like an NFL scoring plan than pure survival football. We also get into the chess match of preseason tape, where Mike McCarthy can show just enough to build timing while still hiding the real communication, audibles, and weekly answers he'll need once the games count.Then we pivot to the stuff that can quietly ruin a contender: penalties. Eleven flags for 134 yards is a preseason stat that can become a regular-season identity if it's not addressed, especially the pre-snap and post-whistle mistakes that have nothing to do with talent. From there, we talk defense with an emphasis on the secondary, what it means to hold up even when everything is “vanilla,” and why names like Asante Samuel Jr. matter when the schedule toughens.Finally, we spend real time on the quarterback room. Mason Rudolph looks like a pro, but Will Howard and Drew AllAr both flash the kind of decision-making that earns coaches' trust fast: movement, throwaways, smart aggression, and zero panic. The big question is simple: how do you hand out reps next week to find the truth without overreacting to one night?

August 12, 2026 - Season 17, Episode 7 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I start by talking about the health of the Pittsburgh Steelers as they get ready to play their first preseason game of 2026 on Thursday night. Alex and I go over the chances of Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers playing in the preseason opener based on what he and HC Mike McCarthy said on Tuesday. In addition to talking about if Rodgers will ultimately play, Alex and I speculate as to what the QB rotation and playing time might look like Thursday night when it comes to Mason Rudolph, Will Howard, and Drew Allar. In the first half of this show, Alex and highlight numerous players on both sides of the football that we look forward to watching play on Thursday night against the green Bay Packers. We discuss potential snaps counts for various players as well. We also highlight what specifically we will be looking for out of Howard and Allar in their first preseason game action. After thoroughly previewing the preseason game against the Packers, Alex and I wrap up a few other minor things that McCarthy and Rodgers said on Tuesday during their respective media sessions. With former Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger likely to be a finalist for the 2027 Hall of Fame class, we go over his chances of being a first-ballot selection a little less than a year from now. We also go over several other legitimate first-ballot candidates for the 2027 class. Former Steelers S Minkah Fitzpatrick was recently in the news for comments that he made on the Pivot Podcast, so we go over what he said and give our thoughts on those points he made.

Footbahlin Merchhttps://footbahlin-with-ben-roethlisberger.clockwise.io/productsThe Steelers finally have real football again, and training camp already feels like a different world. After years of one steady routine, we're adjusting to Coach McCarthy's camp and asking the question every fan in Pittsburgh is thinking: when the vibe changes, does the identity change with it? We start with the big picture shifts fans notice right away, from familiar traditions to the little details that make a team feel like itself.Then we dig into the headline that sparked the loudest reactions: no tackling in training camp. We break down why that hits a nerve for a franchise built on physical play, and we weigh it against the reality of player safety and the NFL being a season-long game of attrition. We also talk through the nuance, because “no tackling” does not have to mean “no contact.” Wrapping, leverage, thud tempo, and consistent technique can still build a tough defense, but goal-line moments and true accountability are harder to recreate without going to the ground.From there, the conversation turns to the preseason and the quarterback plan. How much should Aaron Rodgers actually play if he knows the offense, and what do those snaps cost Mason Rudolph and the younger quarterbacks competing for the future? We also hit the early camp buzz: offensive line optimism once pads come on, creative pass rush looks with TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith moving around, secondary updates, and the skill players getting people excited. Listen, share this with a Steelers fan who needs to hear it, and leave us a review with your take: are you buying the no tackling approach or not?

LeBron James is a Philadelphia 76er, the Warriors still need to upgrade their roster, and the Dodgers are one week away from deciding whether Tarik Skubal is worth the farm. This week Big Ben and K Winn break down the LeBron to Philly move, the Golden State trade that actually makes sense, and the biggest names on the MLB deadline board. We start with the five grill masters problem in Philly. LeBron, Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe in one starting five, and nobody in that locker room volunteering to defer. K Winn lays out why Cleveland was the plan until Jaylen Brown got traded. Big Ben makes the case that this is a media market play, five titles in four cities. Then we tell Mike Dunleavy exactly what to do: trade for Trey Murphy III, pair him with Yaxel Lendeborg, and stop chasing veterans on the back nine. We hit Skubal, Mason Miller and the 46-46 Padres, whether Dante Moore and Oregon can win a College Football Natty, and Arizona State launches a new influencer degree.

FOOTBAHLIN MERCH:https://footbahlin-with-ben-roethlisberger.clockwise.io/productsTraining camp is a week away, and we can finally stop pretending the offseason rumor mill counts as “news.” We're feeling the same drought you are, so we talk through what changes the moment the Pittsburgh Steelers hit the practice fields: real updates, real competition, and the first hints of what this new era is trying to be.We dig into what fans can actually watch for in camp beyond highlight clips, starting with scheme. On offense, we look for structure and intent: under center versus shotgun, play action, moving the pocket, and whether the plan feels like a West Coast offense built around timing and control. On defense, we're watching identity cues like blitz frequency, man versus zone coverage, and whether the secondary leans toward Cover 2 or single-high looks. Even in camp, those choices tell you what the coaching staff believes wins on Sundays.Then we get into roster reality and the quarterback conversation everyone's going to argue about. With veteran pass catchers and a strong tight end room, we expect the offense to gel faster than most “new system” situations. We also break down the four-QB puzzle behind Aaron Rodgers: who you keep, who might become trade value when injuries hit around the league, and why the long-term answer at quarterback takes more than a good arm. Ben explains what teams should evaluate over years 2 to 4: progressions, checkdowns, hard counts, audibles, leadership, and how a QB responds when the bad plays show up on tape.Subscribe so you don't miss the training camp audible, and if you're listening as a Steelers fan, share this with the group chat and leave a quick review.
