On their weekly podcast, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey react to repeated criticism of the Steelers by former RB Najee Harris. Should we be surprised at his bitterness toward Mike Tomlin, Arthur Smith and the team he leaves behind? Or is he right about the culture and facilities being an impediment toward team success? On the QB front, should GM Omar Khan really want Aaron Rodgers as his protracted decision making process shows a lack of enthusiasm for joining the team via NFL free agency? And how fractured must the relationship with Russell Wilson be that the team still won't turn to him? As March Madness begins without Pitt, Penn State and West Virginia, which program is in the best position to return next year? The worst? And what should the Penguins' goals be for the remainder of the season as their Stanley Cup playoff hopes look bleak? Our duo tackles those question, then talks Pirates. Did GM Ben Cherington bet too hard on the team's rotation amid the potentially serious injury to Jared Jones? Will the rotation led by Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller manage without him? Who are the best options to fill out the rest of the group? Veterans like Bailey Falter and Andrew Heaney? Or youngsters like Thomas Harrington, Bubba Chandler and Carmen Mlodzinski? And why is Jason bullish on the Tommy Pham signing and how he could influence young players like Henry Davis, Jared Triolo and Jack Suwinski?

In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson discuss what other teams may value RB Najee Harris. Also, what would the world look like if QB Dan Marino was drafted by the Steelers? February 28, 2025, 8:00 Hour
What should we make of a report from the Post-Gazette's own Gerry Dulac that the Steelers remain in active discussions with RB Najee Harris about keeping him in the backfield with Jaylen Warren? Would that be a smart move? Should they consider free agents like the Browns' Nick Chubb? Or should they dip into a deep NFL draft class for names like Ashton Jeanty, Quinshon Judkins, Omarion Hampton and Kaleb Johnson? Paul tackles those questions, they reacts to a report that the AFC North-rival Browns may yet try to keep star pass rusher Myles Garrett with a lucrative extension despite his request for a trade. And he gives his thoughts on the Penguins' free-fall coming out of the break for the 4 Nations Face-off.
Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Gerry Dulac & Ray Fittipaldo report from the NFL combine in Indianapolis, where Steelers GM Omar Khan, coach Mike Tomlin and other member of the organization are scouting prospects for the NFL draft. How closely are they looking at cornerback prospects including Notre Dame's Benjamin Morrison, Michigan's Will Johnson, Texas' Jahdae Barron and Iowa State's Darien Porter? Could they still sign a cornerback in free agency? Or give Cory Trice Jr. a chance to start? What is it like watching the buzz for Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter up close? And could Penn State tight end Tyler Warren be selected in the top ten? Our duo tackles those question, then also reacts to Gerry's report that the Steelers remain in contact with RB Najee Harris ahead of NFL free agency next month. Is there still a chance he could re-join the backfield with Jaylen Warren? Or will the front office opt to replace him with a running back from this deep class that includes names like Ashton Jeanty, Quinshon Judkins, Omarion Hampton and others.
January 29, 2025 - Season 15, Episode 85 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers having two more players, G Isaac Seumalo and QB Russell Wilson, added to the annual Pro Bowl Games this week as alternates. We discuss whether being added as a Pro Bowl alternate should count for anything when it comes to a player's career resume. Steelers team president Art Rooney II is making his annul media rounds this week to give his thoughts on the 2024 season as well as the future of the organization moving into the 2025 season. As usual, Rooney gave us quite a few talking points to parse. Alex and I go over what Rooney had to say about the quarterback position heading into the offseason. Is QB Justin Fields the apple of Rooney's eye this offseason? What about the possibility of the Steelers drafting a quarterback this year? We discuss everything related to that position based on comments Rooney recently made. We also discuss the positional needs for the offseason that Rooney hit on as well as his thoughts on his continued trust in HC Mike Tomlin. Rooney also discussed the size of the coaching staff, potential changes to the staff and how he thought OC Arthur Smith did in his first season in Pittsburgh. Rooney made it sound like OLB T.J. Watt will be extended this offseason, so we discuss that topic. We also discuss what Rooney said about WR George Pickens moving forward. We also go over it sounding like RB Najee Harris won't be back in 2025 and if the Steelers would dare think about drafting another running back in the first round again. We go over Rooney saying the team really didn't learn anything from the drafting and subsequently failing of QB Kenny Pickett now that he's gone from the organization. Alex and I make sure to try to hit on everything relevant that Rooney said these last two days and most of this episode is dedicated to his media sessions this week.

Several beat writers such as Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette recently had interviews that Alex and I review. We get deep into what Dulac said about the Steelers need at the running back position and the likelihood of them drafting one early this year.

Later, Jason gets into the Steelers' NFL playoffs matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Specifically, he ponders things OC Arthur Smith can do to get QB Russell Wilson, WR George Pickens, RB Najee Harris and the offense going in the first quarter after first-quarter struggles against the Eagles, Ravens, Chiefs and Bengals over the past month.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh Sports news around 5 p.m. Is the Steelers' compressed schedule that forces them to face the Eagles, Ravens and Chiefs in an 11-day span fair? Or does the NFL need to reconsider stretches like this moving forward? How does Patrick Mahomes' ankle injury factor into expectations for coach Mike Tomlin, QB Russell Wilson and RB Najee Harris vs. the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs? And how big of a boost will it be if T.J. Watt is able to play vs. Lamar Jackson and the Ravens this week? Paul tackles those topics, gives final thoughts on Penn State's College Football Playoff matchup vs. SMU and ponders what an NCAA women's volleyball national title could mean for Pitt.

Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo and Brian Batko report from the team's Thursday practice ahead of an NFL Week 15 matchup with the red-hot Philadelphia Eagles. Which coordinator is under more pressure this week? Is it Arthur Smith, gameplanning for QB Russell Wilson, RB Najee Harris, TE Pat Freiermuth and the offense to face a tough Eagles defense led by Jalen Carter and Quinyon Mitchell? Or is it DC Teryl Austin as he prepares guys including T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Minkah Fitzpatrick and Joey Porter Jr. to face Eagles playmakers Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, Devonta Smith and Saquon Barkley, who's having a historic season? They also ponder assistant GM Andy Weidl's offense on both teams. When will the young Steelers offensive line with Mason McCormick, Broderick Jones and Zach Frazier begin to resemble the group that the Eagles have, led by Lane Johnson?

His name has already been linked to some open college and NFL jobs, and many more vacancies are expected to open soon. What grade should he get for the job he's done in the wake of Matt Canada's struggles? And how much more potential does this unit have with pieces like QB Russell Wilson, QB Justin Fields, WR George Pickens, TE Pat Freiermuth and RB Najee Harris, who are all still healthy late in the season? Paul tackles those questions, reacts to Thanksgiving Day action around the NFL, and previews a packed slate of weekend games, including the Steelers traveling to battle the Bengals, the Buffalo Bills facing the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles clashing with the Baltimore Ravens.

October 21, 2024 - Season 15, Episode 41 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers beating the New York Jets at home Sunday night to improve to 5-2 on the 2024 season. We go over the pregame inactive list from Sunday early in this show and discuss how that played out wasn't very surprising. We also discuss the few roster moves that the team made on Saturday. A lot was made on Sunday morning about Steelers HC Mike Tomlin going "Lone Ranger" this week when it came to his decision to start veteran QB Russell Wilson over QB Justin Fields so we discuss all of that build up to the game. We discuss the play of Wilson Sunday night from his slow start to him playing better as the game went on. We talk about several throws he made, the use and effectiveness of play-action, his overall control of the offense, how he spread the football around, and more. We discuss how Wilson's Sunday showing, while great in totality, also showed room for him to play even better moving forward. Wilson seemingly had the crowd against him early Sunday night, so we talk about the fortitude he showed to push through all of that. After talking quite a bit about Wilson's play Sunday night, Alex and I discuss several other players that made huge contributions in the win over the Jets. That list obviously includes WR George Pickens, RB Najee Harris, TE Darnell Washington TE Pat Freiermuth and of course several members of the offensive line. We discuss a few significant offensive plays that occurred during the game and go over several very relevant stats related to the victory. After talking about the offensive play from Sunday night, Alex and I address the overall play of the defense against the Jets. We discuss the tackling issues early on, the pressure amounts, the lack of overall true blitzing, and much more. We discuss the stellar play of rookie CB Beanie Bishop Jr. Sunday night that included him having two huge interceptions. We also discuss several key bat-downs in the game, the play of OLB Alex Highsmith and S DeShon Elliott and a few others as well. After talking about the defense, Alex and I of course address the great special teams play the Steelers had Sunday night against the Jets. We talk about the penalty on the extra point block, the punting and how excited that unit was for coordinator Danny Smith after the late field goal block.

Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldo react to an NFL Week 7 victory against the New York Jets on Sunday night at Acrisure Stadium. What made Russell Wilson so effective at QB, as he produced a season-high 37 points in replacing Justin Fields behind center? How much momentum does RB Najee Harris now have in OC Arthur Smith's offense after a 100-yard night? How good can Beanie Bishop be at slot corner after picking off a pair of passes against Jets QB Aaron Rodgers to change the complexion of the game? And what would a win next week against the New York Giants do for this team's chances in the AFC North division race? Our duo tackles those topics and more.
October 14, 2024 - Season 15, Episode 38 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers beating the Las Vegas Raiders on the road Sunday afternoon to improve to 4-2 on the 2024 season. We go over the pregame inactive list from Sunday early in this show and discuss how that played out wasnt very surprising. We also discuss the few roster moves that the team made on Saturday. While the Steelers did beat the Raiders in convincing fashion on Sunday, Alex and I do wonder how the starting quarterback situation will now play out for the team's Week 7 Sunday night home game against the New York Jets. Was QB Justin Fields close to getting benched at halftime against the Raiders on Sunday? How did he play overall Sunday night? With QB Russell Wilson now healthy, there are certainly arguments to be made that he should be the starting quarterback against the Jets. Alex and I go over the good and bad from Fields on Sunday versus the Raiders. We also talk about the play of the Steelers offense as a whole and how RB Najee Harris had a great showing in the win. We discuss offensive line play from Sunday's win, C Zach Frazier getting injured, a few snap counts on that side of the football, and much more. After thoroughly discussing the Steelers offense and quarterback situation, Alex and I finally get to breaking down how the defense played against the Raiders. We go over the disappointing start the unit had against the Raiders offense and that side of the football rebounded from it. We talk about the unique sequence of plays late in the third quarter that the Raiders offense had, the huge play made by S DeShon Elliott and obviously the two forced fumbles that OLB T.J. Watt had on Sunday. The Steelers made some plays on special teams against the Raiders, so we make sure to recap that third phase of their units later in this show as well.

October 9, 2024 - Season 15, Episode 36 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into talking about the lengthy list of injured players that the Pittsburgh Steelers are dealing with entering Week 6 of the 2024 regular season. With seven total players looking very unlikely to play on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, Alex and I look at some transactions that might be coming by Saturday afternoon and how the defense is likely to manage personnel at the outside linebacker positions on Sunday. It sounds like QB Russell Wilson has a chance to practice fully three days in a row this week so we discuss what that might ultimately mean come Sunday's game. We both think that QB Justin Fields will start again on Sunday with Wilson potentially having a chance to be his backup against the Raiders. We go over what it would take to see Wilson come off the bench on Sunday to replace Fields should the former ultimately be active as the backup. Tomlin hit on a few other minor topics on Tuesday that Alex and I discuss as talking points before getting into all that he had to say about WR George Pickens. With the usage, effort and behavior of Pickens being in extra focus this week, Alex and I have a long discussion about each of those individual topics. We go over the data related to his snap management, we break down his effort on several plays on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, and even talk a little about some of his behavior both on the field and on the sidelines. We discuss what Tomlin had to say about Pickens on Tuesday and if we believe every ounce of it. Should Pickens have a higher snap count in heavy personnel groupings than he has had to date? Should the onus be to get Pickens the football earlier in games? We address those two questions during our long conversation about the Steelers wide receiver. Now that Alex and I have gone through the All-22 tape from the Steelers' Week 5 home loss against the Cowboys, we give additional observations we both had when it comes to the offensive, defensive, and special teams play in that contest. We talk about the We go over several individual plays and player performances as part of us recapping the All-22 tape. We spend extra time once again discussing the play of Fields on offense and ILB Patrick Queen on defense. We also once again discuss the run attempts by RB Najee Harris and the blocking on those plays as well as the overall play of the offensive line. We go over the Steelers' offensive woes on first downs, the lack of explosive plays and the heavy usage of zone on the defensive side of the football.

In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers as they continue to prepare for their Week 5 Sunday night home game against the Dallas Cowboys. We go over the Steelers' Thursday injury report and how important Friday will be for a few players and that includes DT Larry Ogunjobi and QB Russell Wilson. We go over possible elevations from the team's practice squad on Saturday and what the early Sunday inactive list is looking like heading into Friday. We also discuss once again if Sunday night rookie WR Roman Wilson will finally make his NFL debut. On Thursday, we once again heard from two of the Steelers' coordinators, Arthur Smith and Teryl Austin. As usual, Alex and I recap the few main talking points to come out of those media sessions. We discuss when QB Justin Fields might start getting more autonomy at the line of scrimmage and if CB Joey Porter Jr. will shadow Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb on Sunday night. Why is everyone down on RB Najee Harris right now? We discuss that topic briefly and how Sunday night sets up to be a nice 2024 breakout game for him. We also go over the latest news concerning Las Vegas Raiders WR Davante Adams when it comes to him potentially being traded soon. Alex and I welcome Joseph Hoyt of DLLS Sports to the show on Friday, and he helps us get started with a preview of the Steelers' home game against the Cowboys. Hoyt has covered the Cowboys for quite some time and that means he has a great pulse on the team. We go over the Cowboys injury situation heading into Sunday night and what the Dallas plan of attack on both sides of the football should be. At the end of our talk with Joseph, he gives us his score prediction for the game between the Steelers and the Cowboys. If not already doing so, make sure to follow Joseph on X/Twitter at @JoeJHoyt and make sure to read his work online here: https://alldlls.com/author/jhoyt/ After finishing with Joseph, Alex and I provide our own preview of the Steelers-Cowboys game.

October 2, 2024 - Season 15, Episode 33 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into talking about the several transactions made by the Pittsburgh Steelers since their Week 4 game. There are a lot to go over when it comes to these moves and we break down what several of them might indicate. We go over several injuries the team is dealing with right now as we await the Steelers first injury report of Week 5. Steelers HC Mike Tomlin held his weekly press conference on Tuesday, so Alex and I make sure to recap all of the main talking points that came out of that session. We go over what Tomlin said about QB Russell Wilson on Tuesday and what the initial practice plan for him this week appears to be. Will and should Wilson be the backup quarterback on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys if he can practice fully at least twice this week? Alex and I make sure to discuss that topic during this show. The Las Vegas Raiders appear set to trade WR Davante Adams as of Tuesday and with the Steelers potentially being a team looking to make a deal for him, Alex and I discuss all aspects of that topic. We go over the plausibility of the Steelers trading for Adams, what the compensation might need to be, and what an adjusted contract for the wide receiver might look like should the team ultimately acquire him.

One week later...and suddenly use all your Carolina Panthers?

Adam Crowley and Mark Kaboly discuss whether or not it was a good idea for the Steelers to decline RB Najee Harris' fifth-year option.
On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey reacts to the Steelers' preseason loss to the Buffalo Bills this past weekend. Why haven't we seen new OC Arthur Smith's offense translate well in-stadium yet? Why haven't tight ends including Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington seen more targets after heavy workloads at training camp in Latrobe? And what can we expect from RB Najee Harris amid an injury to backup Jaylen Warren? Jason tackles those topics, then gets into some Pirates after they won two out of three against the Seattle Mariners over the weekend. Specifically: What is the situation with 3B Ke'Bryan Hayes and the back issues that have plagued him this season? And how can we explain the continued absence of former No. 1 overall MLB draft pick Henry Davis?
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.

Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldor recap the first padded practice of Steelers training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. They explain why the offense got the better of the defense -- notably in the seven shots and backs on backers drills -- thanks to standout performances from RB Najee Harris and QB Justin Fields. They also offer their thoughts on Russell Wilson's first practice of training camp after his injury last week; a potential injury for rookie receiver Roman Wilson; Jaylen Warren getting the best of Patrick Queen in backs on backers; solid days for tight ends Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington; rookie LB Payton Wilson's up-and-down afternoon; and guard Mason McCormick's surprisingly strong efforts so far.
General manager Omar Khan speaks to reporters after the first practice of Steelers training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. He gives his thoughts on defensive captain Cam Heyward amid contract negotiations; the state of his receivers room with names like Van Jefferson, Roman Wilson and Quez Watkins competing for time behind George Pickens; the potential to make another trade amid persistent rumors about the San Francisco 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk; the impact QB Russell Wilson is making in his first camp with the team; the suspension of CB Cam Sutton; the decision to decline the fifth-year option on RB Najee Harris' contract; and potential next moves with existing NFL salary cap space.

In this Friday episode, Alex Kozora and I start by discussing Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens and QB Justin Fields both participating in Elite Week in Texas this week along with several other high-profile NFL Players. We also discuss Steelers QB Russell Wilson and RB Najee Harris both getting in work together this week at UCLA. We move on to have a deep and lengthy conversion about Harris and fellow Steelers RB Jaylen Warren and where both ranked in a recent 2023 advanced statistics study that I completed on NFL running backs. Specifically, we discuss where Harris and Warren both ranked in ROE%, EXP15% and SUCC% last season when stacked up against 38 other running backs that had 125 rushing attempts or more. We discuss ROE% versus SUCC% and the value of explosive runs of 15 yards or longer. We also discuss our takeaways from this particular stats study when it comes to the 2024 expectations for the Steelers' running game. After talking extensively about running back stats, Alex and I are pleased to welcome our very own Scott Brown back to the show. Tuesday was the official release date of Dick LeBeau's new book, "Legendary" and it mostly revolves around the Steelers' legendary 2008 defense. Alex and I spent roughly 40 minutes with Brown talking to him about the new book he co-authored, the 2008 defense, and much more. We also discuss Brown's media experience history and much more. In "Legendary," LeBeau and veteran scribes Brown and George Von Benko, revisit the unforgettably dominant 2008 Steelers defensive unit, one of the most feared and successful in the modern NFL landscape. You can purchase that book from the publisher at this link and get 30% off by using the code Steel30. We certainly do appreciate Brown spending 40 minutes with us on the podcast. Make sure to follow him on Twitter/X at @ScottBrown_15. Alex and I then move on to discuss the next nine players in my 90-In-30 series that has been running on the site for the last several weeks. The nine players we discussed late in this show are OT Broderick Jones, S Damontae Kazee, S Miles Killebrew, LS Christian Kuntz, DL DeMarvin Leal, DL Logan Lee, DL Isaiahh Loudermilk, DL Dean Lowry, and DL Jonathan Marshall.

July 5, 2024 - Season 14, Episode 151 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday episode, Alex Kozora and I start by talking about a recent play-action stats study that I completed which focused on the two-year history of new Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Alex and I go deep into our expectations for the Steelers' offense in 2024 when it comes to play-action usage and that should be favorable for the team's two new quarterbacks. Alex recently finished an outlook for passing touchdown distribution in 2024 with Arthur Smith now installed as the team's new offensive coordinator so we get some mileage out of that discussion. What does Steelers OLB Alex Highsmith need to work on in 2024? Alex and I have a long discussion about him and what we expect the Steelers' sack output to be in 2024. We also have brief discussion about pressures versus sacks. Alex and I then discuss the next nine players in my 90-In-30 series that has been running on the site for the last few weeks. The nine players we discussed late in this show are CB Thomas Graham Jr., OT Devery Hamilton, OL Anderson Hardy, RB Najee Harris, OL Nate Herbig, OLB Nick Herbig, DT Cameron Heyward, TE/FB Connor Heyward, and Highsmith. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 91-minute episode, and we end it by answering several questions from listeners that we have received since Tuesday. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

June 25, 2024 - Season 14, Episode 148 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Tuesday episode, Alex Kozora and I start by talking about more recent transactions made by the Pittsburgh Steelers, which included WR Jacob Copeland being signed, and DL Willington Previlon being claimed off waivers from the Atlanta Falcons. Alex and I take a look at the Steelers' cash spending so far this offseason and if the team will potentially spend $20 million or more ahead of the 2024 regular season getting underway. We discuss where such amounts of cash might be spent if indeed the team makes it to the $20 million more mark. We go over the latest concerning the outlook for Steelers' tackle situation for the start of training camp based on recent reports. We also briefly discuss former Steelers WR James Washington attempting a comeback. Alex recently did another study on the size of the Steelers' coaching staff, so we discuss his findings that he wrote about. There's updated news on San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk to pass along on Tuesday so Alex and I make sure to do that. Our very own Scott Brown has a new book out, so Alex and I make sure to promote "Legendary" during the middle of this episode. You can purchase that new book about former Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau and his 2008 defensive at this link. You can also receive 30 percent off the purchase by using the promo code: Steel30.

The six players we discuss late in this show are CB Kalon Barnes, OL Tyler Beach, DT Keeanu Benton, CB Beanie Bishop Jr., K Chris Boswell, and WR Marquez Callaway. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 111-minute episode, and we end it by answering several questions from listeners that we have received since Friday, most of which are about RB Najee Harris and his contract situation. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

June 21, 2024 - Season 14, Episode 147 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday episode, Alex Kozora and I start things off by talking about the recent transactions made by the Pittsburgh Steelers which included the waiving of S Trenton Thompson and the contract termination of WR Denzel Mims. We also discuss how the Steelers might go about filling those two open roster spots. With the Steelers now poised to take part in Hard Knocks in 2024 as part of the AFC North being covered in-season, I weigh in on my thoughts related to the topic and if I think it would serve as being a distraction to the team. Mike Greenberg of ESPN had an interesting hot take on GetUp! a few days ago that Alex and I decide to dissect completely. The New England Patriots finally got RB Rhamondre Stevenson signed to a contract extension on Thursday and on the heels of that happening, Alex and I discuss what that deal may or may not mean when it comes to the Steelers potentially signing RB Najee Harris to an extension this summer. Alex and I go over my contract prediction for Harris, if he will hold-in at training camp, and whether each of us would give him the proposed deal. Alex and I have a good debate about the process and decisions the Steelers have gone through this offseason as it relates to Harris and his fifth-year option for the 2025 season being declined. We also give our gut predictions on how we think Harris' contract situation will play out by the start of the 2024 regular season. With my annual 90-In-30 training camp series now underway as of Thursday, Alex and I go over the first six players that I have covered so far in those two posts. Those six players discussed are DT Montravius Adams, QB Kyle Allen, OL Spencer Anderson, DB Grayland Arnold, WR Calvin Austin III, and CB Anthony Averett. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 110-minute episode, and we end it by answering several questions from listeners that we have received since last Friday. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

June 14, 2024 - Season 14, Episode 145 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday episode, which was recorded late Thursday evening Alex Kozora and I start by discussing several of the comments made by Pittsburgh Steelers GM Omar Khan during his Thursday afternoon interview on 93.7 The Fan. Khan talked a little about the team's decision to not pick up the fifth-year option on RB Najee Harris in May in addition to saying the team still could work out a contract extension with the former first-round draft pick. We go over the likelihood of Harris signing an extension before the 2024 regular season and much more related to things Khan said about the running back. Khan also talked about the addition of CB Cameron Sutton on Thursday and how the team has no idea if a suspension is coming for the player. Khan also gave us several other talking points to discuss related to players. With the Steelers 2024 mandatory minicamp now finished, Alex and I discuss several notable things that came out of the three-day session. We discuss the side rookie OT Troy Fautanu is likely to play. We also discuss the overall health of the Steelers coming out of their annual mandatory minicamp with a lot of our focus being on whether ILB Cole Holcomb will be ready to practice once training camp gets underway in July. Several of the Steelers defensive coaches talked on Thursday so we go over what DC Teryl Austin and others on that side of the football had to say during their media sessions. We talk about the slot cornerback position, the usage of S Minkah Fitzpatrick in 2024, and the early summer development of third-year DL DeMarvin Leal. There's been quite a bit of praise for rookie ILB Payton Wilson these last several days so Alex and I focus on that topic in this show. We also talk a little bit about second-year offensive lineman Spencer Anderson seemingly moving to guard primarily this offseason. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 80-minute episode and we end it by going over some silly major media comments made these last several days. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson entertain this rumor about a player the Pirates could benefit from acquiring. Also, do the Pirates have a true window open to win right now? Or is the future still more important to focus on right now? And Steelers' GM Omar Khan explained, among other things, why he didn't pick up RB Najee Harris' fifth-year option. June 14, 2024, 7:00 Hour
6/5/24 - Hour 1 Rich and the guys discuss the controversial ejection of Chicago Sky rookie Angel Reese, and weigh in on the impending payday for Dallas Cowboys LB Micah Parsons.

May 22, 2024 - Season 14, Episode 135 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about everything relevant to come out of Pittsburgh Steelers first day of OTA practices for 2024 that took place on Tuesday. The Steelers made a few more transactions on Tuesday so Alex and I recap the one signing and one waiving that took place. We also go over the signing bonuses that were given to the team's five undrafted free agents now that those amounts are known. We then go over all that Steelers HC Mike Tomlin had to say on Tuesday and that includes his answers to questions about DT Cameron Heyward skipping OTAs and the team not picking up the fifth-year option on RB Najee Harris. New Steelers quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields both had media sessions on Tuesday, so we go over what both had to say. We also talk about Harris not talking to the media at the start of OTAs. Steelers T Dan Moore Jr. also made a few interesting comments on Tuesday, so we parse those during this show. We also talk about the latest health updates on CB Cory Trice Jr. and ILB Cole Holcomb. It was announced on Wednesday morning that Pittsburgh will be hosting the 2026 NFL Draft, so Alex and I break that news during this show. After discussing what the extreme high side of a contract extension for Heyward might look like during the Monday episode, Alex and I then go over what the numbers would like if the veteran defensive tackle received no new money in 2024 as part of two additional years being added. We also remind everyone what the extensions that S Troy Polamalu and TE Heath Miller both looked like back in 2014. Alex and I go over what the motivation for Heyward would be if all he is looking for is two additional years being added to his contract with no new money in 2024 and no guaranteed money in future years. Alex and I both have finished studies related to the Steelers 2024 regular season schedule that was released last Wednesday so we go over our findings. Finally, we go over the latest news related to two NFL wide receivers that are not present for the start of OTAs with their respective teams. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 95-minute episode and we end it all by answering a few emails we have received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

May 15, 2024 - Season 14, Episode 132 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about some of the supposed 2024 schedule leaks for the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of the official version dropping on Wednesday night. If you believe the early leaks, which is dangerous to do, the Steelers will open on the road against the Atlanta Falcons and Denver Broncos and that sets up great early-season storylines if those two games hold true. The Steelers will also supposedly play the Kansas City Chiefs at home on Christmas and that game will presumably be streamed on Netflix to out of market viewers. Throughout the show, supposed leaks come in concerning all of the Steelers 2024 road games so we go over those as they hit Twitter/X. We also go over what the early leaks show when it comes to the supposed 2024 bye week possibilities for the Steelers. Later in this show, Alex and I revisit the offseason situation the Steelers have with RB Najee Harris when it comes to him possibly receiving a contract extension before Week One on the heels of the team declining to pick up his fifth-year option for 2025. We revisit this topic to discuss if some sort of precedent might be involved should the team ultimately decide to sign Harris to an extension this offseason. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 59-minute episode and we end it all by answering a few emails we have received from listeners. We also discuss what to look forward to when it comes to the Friday show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud dominated the NFL as a rookie in 2023. After these off-season acquisitions, which 2023 QB has closed the supporting cast talent gap? DP and Keith believe Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans' 2nd yr QBs Anthony Richardson and Will Levis have mostly everything they'll need to compete with that high-powered Texans offense in 2024. Where do the Carolina Panthers and Bryce Young fit into this equation? His stock is up as well with a much improved offensive weaponry to attack defenses with. Rookie RB Jonathan Brooks has the tools to be their new bell cow but not too early with his recovery from a torn ACL. Should the Dallas Cowboys make a pre-training camp trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers for RB Najee Harris after they ignored the RB position in the 2024 NFL Draft? The Rashee Rice news is going to have a big impact on the 2024 Kansas City Chiefs offense. Does this open the door for their 1st round pick, Xavier Worthy to lead the wide receivers in receiving yards? Tune in to find out. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Game off!

May 3, 2024 - Season 14, Episode 127 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers decision to not exercise the fifth-year option on the rookie contract of RB Najee Harris. We go over all aspects of that decision on Harris, what likely led to the declining of the fifth-year option and what the outcomes with the running back might be moving forward. We discuss if we think the Steelers made the right decision with Harris as well. Alex and I go over a short list of players that eventually signed new contracts with their respective teams after initially having their fifth-year options declined. We also discuss what course of action Harris may or may not take for the remainder of the offseason now that his fifth-year option has been declined by the Steelers. After a long discussion about Harris, Alex and I then discuss the possibility of new Steelers QB Justin Fields being used some as a kickoff returner based on what all RB Jaylen Warren said on the topic during his recent interview with Cameron Heyward on his podcast over the weekend. Will Fields even get as much as one snap on the kickoff return team in 2024? We attempt to answer that question. Alex and I then move on to recap the event last few days that former Steelers CB Bryant McFadden has had after his tweet concerning Pittsburgh likely to add a "significant playmaker" soon. We also review what Steelers GM Omar Khan had said in recent interviews concerning the team possibly trading for "significant playmaker" soon. Dur to reader and listener peer pressure this last week, I went down the rabbit hole of the plausibility of the Steelers maybe trading for Seattle seahawks WR DK Metcalf after June 1. We go over the situation the Seahawks have with their salary cap, why they may or may not be interested in trading Metcalf and also go over things related to Seattle that will be worth following these next few weeks. With two more free agent wide receivers, D.J. Chark and Odell Beckham Jr., now agreeing to terms with new teams, Alex and I update the short list of players that the Steelers might could consider adding to their roster in some form or fashion moving forward into the offseason. Finally, we go over the latest players invited to participate in the Steelers upcoming rookie minicamp, which will take place in Pittsburgh next weekend. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 92-minute episode and we end it all by answering several emails we have received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

On his daily First 10 podcast, Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey reacts to the Steelers' decision to decline their fifth-year option on RB Najee Harris' rookie contract. Was it the right move by GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin to wait until the end of the 2024 season to decide how to move forward with their running backs? Was the option just too expensive for a back who's put up ordinary numbers in today's NFL? Will Jaylen Warren simply be a cheaper alternative in 2025?Jason tackles those questions, plus Warren's suggestion that new QB Justin Fields could return kicks should he stay in the No. 2 role behind Russell Wilson. He then talks Pirates and how the upcoming series against the Colorado Rockies is pivotal if the team is going to get back on track offensively.
January 19, 2024 - Season 14, Episode 79 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday show, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about what all Pittsburgh Steelers HC Mike Tomlin had to say on Thursday during his annual end-of-the-season press conference. Tomlin discussed how the team will go about looking for a new offensive coordinator in the coming weeks, so we spend a little time discussing that topic. We also talk about how the team would apparently like to re-sign QB Mason Rudolph this offseason to compete against QB Kenny Pickett. We discuss the outlook for the quarterback position as a whole when it comes to the 2024 Steelers. Tomlin obviously gave us several other talking points to discuss as part of his Thursday press conference. We go through them all one-by-one. We discuss the health outlook of the Steelers heading into the offseason. With it sounding like the Steelers will pick up the fifth-year option on RB Najee Harris this offseason, Alex and I discuss the possibility of the team signing him to an extension. We also talk about whether T Broderick Jones will get moved to the left side in 2024. It sounds like DT Cameron Heyward won't be retiring this offseason so Alex and I discuss that news during this show and how his contract might be manipulated in the coming weeks. The Steelers signed 17 players to Reserve/Future contracts this week and with an initial Rule of 51 now established for the team, Alex and I go over the 2024 salary cap situation and outlook moving into the offseason. We discuss possible contract terminations, restructurings and much, much more in this show. With the Divisional Round of the 2023 NFL playoffs now on tap, Alex and I give our picks against the spread for the four games that will take place this weekend. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 116-minute episode, and we end it by answering several questions sent in from listeners of the show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

January 16, 2024 - Season 14, Episode 77 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Tuesday show, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the 2023 season ending for the Pittsburgh Steelers thanks to their Monday Super Wild Card game loss to the Buffalo Bills. We quickly discuss the inactive list the Steelers submitted ahead of the Monday game and the injuries that took place during the road contest. Alex and I dive into our complete recap of the Steelers' Wild Card loss to the Bills. We go through the complete game based on the television tape and discuss what went wrong, what went right, and several individual performances and plays. Steelers HC Mike Tomlin had an interesting end to his postgame press conference on the heels of him being asked about his contract situation. Alex and I certainly address that topic as well as Tomlin's recent and past history in the playoffs. Steelers Dt Cameron Heyward, QB Mason Rudolph and RB Najee Harris all said notable things after the Monday loss to the Bills, so Alex and I recap and discuss those main talking points that those players produced. The Steelers face several big questions heading into the offseason, so Alex and I rank and discuss those. We also talk about where the Steelers are now set to select in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, what their unrestricted free agent list looks like this offseason and more. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 110-minute episode and we end it by answering several questions sent in from listeners of the show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.
