January 24, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 83 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the latest news concerning the Pittsburgh Steelers. We go over Steelers OLB T.J. Watt backing out of the Pro Bowl games in addition to him being named a finalist for the annual AP Defensive Player of the Year award. We also discuss a few AP award finalists lists that Steelers DT Cameron Heyward was left off of. Jim Rooney is in the news this week thanks to several comments that he made about the Steelers during a recent interview he gave. Alex and I go over those controversial comments made by Rooney. Steelers QB Russell Wilson was on The Pat McAfee Show this week and Alex and I go over the key things he said during that interview. We also discuss the possibility of Wilson reuniting with HC Pete Carroll now that he's been named the new head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. What will the demand be this offseason for Wilson and Steelers QB Justin Fields with both players scheduled to become unrestricted free agents in March? Alex and I discuss that topic for a bit. Is there a legitimate chance that Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins lands in Pittsburgh this offseason? Alex and I discuss my thoughts on that topic based on a post I wrote on Thursday. Alex and I continue to learn more and more about the 23025 NFL Draft class with the annual college all-star games getting underway and on Friday we discuss several top defensive linemen that we both have studied since our Wednesday show. The NFL's Conference Championship games will take place on Sunday, so Alex and I provide our picks against the spread for both of those upcoming contests late in this show. This 120-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Nueral Plasticity and Motor Skill Development

Steelers insider Mark Kaboly from The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Mark reacted to a few Steelers legends criticizing Mike Tomlin and the “Steelers Way.” Are the Steelers just a quarterback away from being great? Mark said Ben Roethlisberger is pretty savvy in the media game. Mark reiterated that Justin Fields will be the team's best option for 2025. More w/ Mark – The guys wanted to get Mark's take on what Jim Rooney said the other day about the Steelers being “above the mean” compared to the rest of the NFL. Will those comments change what Art Rooney will say next week? The guys speculated what Art will say in that presser. How much will it match what he said the last few years? What about the comment a couple seasons ago about finishing the season strong? More w/ Mark – Is the Steelers front office willing to have a difficult conversation? Mark does think it is strange that we haven't heard anything regarding the coaching staff in 2 weeks. Should the Steelers reach out to Bobby Slowik about an offensive coaching job after he was let go by the Texans? Mark said the Pete Carroll hire was strange to him because the Raiders are nowhere close to a playoff team. Mark thinks the chalk talks in the conference championship round.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise talks about the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. He reacts to comments by Jim Rooney, son of late Steelers owner Dan Rooney and brother of current owner Art Rooney II on a podcast that that defended coach Mike Tomlin and the franchise's results over the last 25 years. Does Rooney have a point about the success that surpasses NFL league averages? Or has he lost sight of the Super Bowl standard, where Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs and Tom Brady and the Patriots have surpassed the Steelers in recent history? On other fronts, Paul weighs in on CB Donte Jackson defending Tomlin from "haters" during a recent podcast appearance; George Pickens' latest social media dust-up in which he called trade speculation "lying"; and the ongoing QB conundrum involving Justin Fields and Russell Wilson.

Jim Rooney recently said that the Steelers haven't won many Super Bowls over the last several years because they've been running into some of the best NFL teams over the years. Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson react.

With all these Jim Rooney comments getting attention among Pittsburgh media, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson wonder what the rest of the Steelers think of what he's saying.

Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo from the PG joined the show. Ray gave his take on the Jim Rooney comments about the Steelers being above average. Ray said he's not in the mood to make excuses for Mike Tomlin or the Steelers lack of success. Ray wondered when we will hear from Art Rooney. Will we see any changes? Ray talked about when we could finally see a few moves made, but it won't be anything major to the Steelers staff. Ray questions how serious the talks are between Russell Wilson and the Steelers. Ray seems more on-board with Justin Fields in 2025. How will the Steelers shift their defensive structure?

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss Russell Wilson's comments about wanting to remain in Pittsburgh, how they will build a QB room if they move forward with Justin Fields, Jim Rooney's comments about the state of the franchise and lack of postseason success, what needs should be attacked in free agency as opposed to the NFL Draft and more.

Steelers owner Jim Rooney said the Steelers have outperformed the NFL average over the last 25 years and perform in a harder circumstance than most, but understand they haven't won playoff games the last eight years. He said the Steelers have lost playoff games to Payton Manning, Tom Brady, and Patrick Mahomes.

Russell Wilson was on the Pat McAfee Show today and talked about his interest in returning to the Steelers. How likely is that? The guys wondered if Wilson would have interest anywhere else after how this season ended. There's almost a sense of desperation with Russ. We also know Aaron Glenn will be the Jets coach and not Arthur Smith, which means Smith will be back. That should mean no more Russ. Is there anyone out there that thinks another year with Russ will be better for the Steelers? The best thing to happen to Justin Fields is how badly Russ fell off a cliff at the end of the season. Do fans want Russell Wilson back? Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike reacted to the words of Jim Rooney saying the Steelers fans should appreciate that they are always “above the mean” compared to almost the rest of the NFL. Mike said it is excuse making from someone in the family and it hurts more when the Steelers are supposed to be a team that always has Super Bowl on the mind. Mike talked about their scouting department and why they have missed on some key spots in the draft in the last handful of years. Mike brought up the ‘protective bubble' that was put around Ben Roethlisberger in his last few years and how that hurt them in finding their next QB. When it comes to winning championships and the standard, Mike said “what do you put up banners for?” – not for being better than average. Mike got into the business impacts of football and how family-owned teams handle it differently.

Jim Rooney, the brother of Art Rooney II, was on the Ross Tucker Podcast telling fans they should appreciate where the Steelers have been for the last 25 years – above average. The guys dug deep into this one. Someone from inside the family, that probably shares Art's views, saying that being “above the mean” is the standard that we all hear about.

Are fans fed up with how Art Rooney II is running things? Former Penguin Tyler Kennedy joined the show. The Penguins are in California and TK said he guarantees that those guys are either at the beach or at the pool. Tyler talked about how things can be in a locker room if there's a sense that guys could be dealt at the trade deadline. TK told us a story about when he got traded out of San Jose thinking he was safe and sound. He said that can sometimes lead to very awkward conversations between the player and front office.

Poni has heard that Jalen Milroe is catching a scout's eye in the Steelers front office. He threw 11 interceptions at Alabama last season. But Dan Marino and Jordan Love threw a lot of picks in their final collegiate seasons too. He has a big arm and he's mobile, but do you trust the Steelers to make that work? Should the Steelers take a QB at all? ALL ACCESS w/ Aditi – Aditi heard the Jim Rooney comments and questioned what the Steelers standard now means. Aditi said a lot of franchises would like to play meaningful games late in the season, but the Steelers need to have higher aspirations. Things are dry and stale with the Steelers, but they don't seem like they are willing to change. Aditi referenced the Ravens and John Harbaugh, who took a chance on Lamar Jackson, and molded their offense around him. Aditi said the Steelers haven't evolved and there are no new ideas in that building. The Steelers are not close. Donny Football Debrief – The Jags awkwardly fired GM Trent Baalke today in the midst of their coaching search.
