Chris talks with Chris Halicke of DKPittsburghSports.com about Sunday's New England-Pittsburgh showdown. Where are the Steelers' weaknesses? How can the Patriots take advantage? Will weather play a role on Sunday? All that and more. • How has Aaron Rodgers looked? • Should the Patriots be watching old Rodgers' film, vintage Packers' stuff when Mike McCarthy and Rodgers were together in Green Bay, or something else? • What's the latest on Joey Porter Jr.? How would his absence change what Pittsburgh wants to get done defensively? • Last year's Patriots-Steelers game was a heavy Hunter Henry contest. Could we see that again on Sunday? • Is there a Pittsburgh player who is an under-the-radar possibility to break through Sunday against New England? ...and more. • Patrick Graham beat the Patriots last year when he was the DC of the Raiders. What sort of impact is he going to have when it comes to facing Drake Maye this time around? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Giants Week 2 injury report and the cornerback room is the whole story. Paulson Adebo and Deonte Banks were both out of Thursday's practice. Greg Newsome II was on the field. The Giants play the Rams on Monday night at SoFi against Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. The Adebo situation is four things happening at once. He played nine defensive snaps in Week 1 on a $24.2 million cap hit. Joey Porter Jr. trade talk has had the Giants named as a team to watch all week. New York signed cornerback Jaden Robinson to the practice squad on Wednesday, a six foot corner out of Oregon State whose position coach in Denver, Addison Lynch, is now the Giants defensive backs coach. And Adebo has now missed back to back practices. Any one of those is nothing. Together they are worth talking about. Per Over The Cap, cutting him costs more than keeping him, so a trade is the only clean exit. Banks was sidelined by cramps in the second half against Dallas and was seen Wednesday with a sleeve on his right lower leg. If he and Adebo cannot go, the room is Newsome, Dru Phillips, rookie Colton Hood and possibly an elevation. Better news at receiver. Malik Nabers called himself a little sore and manageable, said he was rusty, and said he left probably two touchdowns on the field. He did that on 36 snaps, 52 percent, with 24 routes and nine targets. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Washington Commanders lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 24-22 on Sunday. The purpose of this episode is to go over the All-22 film and review what happened.The All-22 Review begins on offense, where we discuss the offensive line, Jayden Daniels, the receivers attempting to get open, and how effective the run game was. Antonio Williams is a highlight, and should get more playing time.The All-22 Review on defense goes through how new everything looks, and the promise that exists on this side of the ball. The defensive line played well, and so did the linebackers, but the explosives given up in the secondary were costly.Should the Washington Commanders trade for Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr.? That's the question right now after Mike Sainristil's poor performance this past Sunday, along with Trey Amos not being available for another 3 games.The Comment Mailbag features 25 comments.

The Giants found a physical, possession-heavy formula against Dallas, but proving it is real means taking that identity on the road against Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, Davante Adams and possibly Aaron Donald.Follow on Spotify and leave a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts if you enjoy no-BS Giants debate.Was Dallas the beginning of the Giants' offensive identity, or simply the right game plan for one opponent?Monday night against the Rams should tell us much more because New York is facing a defense that struggled against the run in Week 1 while its own offense brings a very different challenge than Dallas.Drew and Rob break down the Giants' 165 rushing yards, 36:40 time of possession and 9-of-11 third-down performance, Patrick Ricard's growing role in Greg Roman's offense, and the next step for Jaxson Dart. The efficiency was excellent against Dallas, but the Giants produced only one play longer than 20 yards, so the question now is whether Dart and Malik Nabers can add explosives without losing the long-drive formula that worked.Aaron Donald becomes the wild card. The Giants are preparing as if he will play, but nobody knows what a 35-year-old Donald looks like after more than two full seasons away from NFL games. Drew and Rob debate whether even a 20–30 snap role could force Greg Roman to change protections and whether expecting the old Aaron Donald is realistic.The Rams offense also gets a full look. Stafford struggled statistically in Week 1, but the show pushes back on overreacting to one game from the defending MVP. Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, Blake Corum and Kyren Williams give Los Angeles multiple ways to attack a Giants defense that was excellent against the run but still has to clean up third downs, penalties and ball security.Before the main preview, the guys debate Joey Porter Jr. and whether the Giants should even consider paying the draft-pick cost plus a potential $30M-plus-per-year extension. They also cover Josh Tupou joining the 53-man roster, Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s flu and the latest Giants backfield questions.The episode closes with Lions-Bills. Drew and Rob both picked Buffalo to win and both took the over, but they split the spread: Rob took Detroit +4.5 while Drew took Buffalo -4.5.Merch: https://2giantgoofballs-shop.fourthwall.com/ Support: https://buymeacoffee.com/2giantgoofballs All episodes: https://2giantgoofballs.buzzsprout.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Week 1 is in the books, so it's time to figure out what's real and what's a massive overreaction. Are the Giants actually a playoff team? Do the Bears have the NFL's best offense? Is Trevor Lawrence finally becoming a top-five QB? Could Derrick Henry make history and cement himself as the GOAT running back? We play True or False with the biggest NFL Week 1 overreactions, debate which 2025 playoff team is most likely to miss the postseason in 2026, and break down a hypothetical Joey Porter Jr. trade to the Giants. Then we turn to fantasy football. It's time to decide whether we're relaxed or panicked about De'Von Achane, Quinshon Judkins, Drake London, Marvin Harrison Jr., Kyle Pitts and more after Week 1.

September 14, 2026 - Season 17, Episode 22 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers beating the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday to open their 2026 regular season. Alex and I discuss the team's perceived health coming out of their first regular season game in addition to going over the six players that were inactive for that contest, one of which was CB Joey Porter Jr. As we get into recapping the Steelers' win over the Falcons, we start by talking quite a bit about the play of the team's defense. We go over the amazing play of OLB T.J. Watt on Sunday in addition to discussing several snap counts on that side of the football. Several defensive players had strong showings against the Falcons on Sunday, so we make sure to note each one. We also discuss how poorly Falcons QB Cooper Rush played on Sunday and how most of Atlanta's success on offense came via RB Bijan Robinson. After thoroughly breaking down several aspects of Pittsburgh's defensive play from Sunday, Alex and I then do the same for the offense. We note how QB Aaron Rodgers pushed the football down the field with more regularity and how a key third down passing play to TE Darnell Washington effectively secured a win. We talk about the running game and how it came alive late in the game. When we're finished talking about several things related to the offense, Alex and I move on to break down Pittsburgh's play on special teams against the Falcons. Once we are done breaking down the Steelers Sunday win against the Falcons, Alex and I discuss the team being unable to sign Porter to a contract extension prior to the game getting underway. We discuss what the immediate future might be when it comes to Porter and that includes us discussing the possibility that he could ultimately wind up being traded by this year's deadline. This 93-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we end this show by answering several emails we received from listeners.

The New York Giants are officially back, kicking off the John Harbaugh era with a massive 28-20 Week 1 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Ethan, Weis, and Nick return to break down how the team finally played 60 minutes of physical "bully ball" against a bitter division rival. After years of frustration, this new coaching regime has immediately shifted the organization's mindset from hoping for a win to expecting one.The crew dives deep into Jaxson Dart's phenomenal opening performance, highlighting his elite command of the line of scrimmage and instant chemistry with tight end Isaiah Likely. We also examine the completely revamped offensive line, praising rookie Francis Maui Noa for a flawless debut featuring zero pressures allowed. Together, the relentless ground game and an imposing front five completely punished the Dallas defense to control the clock.While the victory is sweet, we still analyze glaring concerns in the secondary and debate whether a trade for a cornerback like Joey Porter Jr. is necessary to survive the season. We also give our unfiltered thoughts on Tyrone Tracy's ball security issues and laugh at the struggles of other teams around the league.

On this episode of State of the Steelers, part of the Steel Curtain Network, Daniel breaks down Pittsburgh's Week 1 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons and what Mike McCarthy and the Steelers need to do to start the 2026 season 1-0. Tua Tagovailoa has been ruled OUT, meaning Cooper Rush gets the start against Pittsburgh. But there's an interesting connection: Rush spent years playing quarterback under Mike McCarthy in Dallas. Could that familiarity give Atlanta an advantage, or does McCarthy's knowledge of Rush give the Steelers defense the upper hand? We also break down the biggest storylines heading into Week 1:

September 2, 2026 - Season 17, Episode 17 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers initial signings of practice squad players and how one new outsider makes for an intriguing addition. Alex and I also discuss the Steelers initial 53-man roster remaining the same as we head into Wednesday. CB Joey Porter Jr. met the media on Tuesday and that was his first such session in quite a while. We go over several quotes from Porter and then take another deep dive into his contract extension situation. Alex and I discuss how Porter is really in between a rock and a hard place right now. We also discuss the few options he has moving forward until the regular season gets underway. The Steelers have a long-standing rule of not negotiating contracts once a regular season gets underway. With that being a known fact, Alex and I go over when that rule was put into place and why. We also discuss whether it is indeed archaic and not a benefit to the team in today's NFL landscape. Alex and I discuss the given reasons for ILB Elandon Roberts being cut on Sunday and how the team supposedly has not completely shut the door of him being a Steeler again at some point. We also discuss S DeShon Elliott starting the regular season on the Reserve/Injured list and the reason that GM Omar Khan gave on Monday for that move. Later in this show, Alex and I discuss a few other things that Khan and HC Mike McCarthy have said over the course of the last few days. This 81-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we end this show by answering several emails we received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT breaks down why the Rams may have officially broken the NFL's parity machine and whether the rest of the league is overthinking the most loaded roster in football. JT also explains why the Steelers don't have to give Joey Porter Jr. a massive extension, and why Pittsburgh should be willing to listen if a first-round pick enters the conversation. Has Cincinnati finally done enough around Joe Burrow for the pressure to shift onto him and Zac Taylor? Was Green Bay's playoff collapse against Chicago actually a warning sign for a much bigger Packers downfall? JT also makes the case for Dallas as the NFL's most underrated Super Bowl contender and examines whether Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and an improved Cowboys defense can finally change the postseason narrative. Plus, why the Falcons remain stuck in quarterback no man's land with Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa, and whether Matt Ryan's front office will eventually have to find Atlanta's true long-term answer. All that plus NFL playoff angles, coaching pressure, roster-building debates, quarterback questions, and Super Bowl contenders entering the 2026 NFL season.
