September 10, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 22 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers signing veteran S Jabrill Peppers on Tuesday. We discuss what Peppers brings to defense and how he could see some playing time right away with S DeShon Elliott currently sidelined with a knee injury. The Steelers injury report has grown some heading into Week 2, so Alex and I go over Elliott, DT Derrick Harmon, and ILB Malik Harrison already being ruled out for the team's Week 2 Sunday home game against the Seattle Seahawks. We also talk about CB Joey Porter Jr. and OLB Nick Herbig both entering Week 2 as questionable with hamstring injuries. The Steelers made several transactions on Wednesday morning, so Alex and I make sure to cover those during the show. We address the Week 2 third quarterback situation the Steelers now have and if rookie QB Will Howard might find his way back from the Reserve/Injured list sooner than expected now that QB Skylar Thompson has joined him on that list as of Wednesday morning. Steelers HC Mike Tomlin held his weekly press conference on Tuesday and as usual, Alex and I recap the main talking points that came out of that session with the media. We discuss Tomlin's thoughts on the two starting tackles, Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu, potential defensive line adjustments, the play of QB Aaron Rodgers in Week 1, and the usage of RB Kenneth Gainwell to start the 2025 regular season. Several other talking points from Tuesday are also discussed as well throughout this show and Alex and I both discuss Steelers DT Keeanu Benton and his play in the base defense and potential future at the nose tackle position. With the all-22 tape from the Week 1 game against the New York Jets now fully digested, Alex and I both deliver our additional thoughts from Sunday's win against the Jets when it comes to the offense, defense, and special teams. We pass along several advanced stats as well as personnel usage from the game against the Jets as part of us recapping what stood out from the all-22 tape of that Week 1 contest. This 92-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted, and we close things 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 Fittipaldo report from coach Mike Tomlin's weekly news conference ahead of an NFL Week 2 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks at Acrisure Stadium. What did Tomlin have to say about the signing of Jabrill Peppers, a veteran safety? What could it mean for the injured DeShon Elliott moving forward? And how could Elliott's absence impact the secondary as it's still integrating new faces like Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay Jr.? Our duo tackles those questions, plus struggles on both the offensive and defensive line in NFL Week 1 against the New York Jets. Can Broderick Jones turn things around after giving up sacks to the Jets pass rush? And how will Cam Heyward, Keeanu Benton, Yahya Black and others improve against the run before the anticipated return of first-round pick Derrick Harmon in Week 3?
Hour 3 with Donny Football: DeShon Ellliott is out this week. Mike Tomlin confirms the Steelers will sign Jabrill Peppers. Tomlin said Broderick Jones needs to be better and it's not good that Aaron Rodgers is being pressured a lot. Could Roman Wilson follow in similar steps as Calvin Austin did? Mike Tomlin was complimentary of Jabrill Peppers.

Mike Tomlin talked today. He's not worried about Broderick Jones. Mullsy isn't feeling very optimistic after Sunday. He got beat every way imaginable. These struggles are even more concerning because Rodgers looked very good. A caller is very concerned about Jones. It's Dick Lebeau's birthday! Poni thinks the chat with our guest from PFF might get contentious. Is Broderick Jones already a bust? Why didn't the Steelers give him more help on Sunday? We shift to a conversation about sumo wrestling. A caller somewhat defends Jones, citing that he's engaged. Payton Wilson had a rough game on Sunday, Mike Tomlin isn't a ball treatment specialist. Aaron Rodgers received a horrid PFF grade. PFF grader John Kosko joins to explain himself. He references a dropped interception by the Jets and the myriad of screen passes. Bryce Young was ranked ahead based on the grades. They did not credit him with any "big time throws".
We had zero expectations for the Jets, but they looked pretty good offensively and probably should have won the game. For the Giants, it was more of the same that we've seen for years. Giants fans want Jaxson Dart to start. We talked about Friday night's game between the Chiefs and Chargers and how the Chiefs have an issue at WR now. We took calls from Giants fans who are already fed up with Russell Wilson and the offense. Jerry returns for his final update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Jets losing to the Steelers. We wondered about Justin Fields wearing gloves, maybe because of the rainy weather. The Bills came back in the fourth quarter to beat the Ravens as Derrick Henry had a costly fumble. Brian Daboll talked about losing again. The defense only allowed 14 points for most of the game but they have zero offense. Jerry went around the NFL including Ben Johnson who's fired up for tonight's game against the Vikings. The Yankees beat the Blue Jays and took the series. The Mets lost to the Reds and dropped the series. The Moment of The Day: Mike Tomlin's kicker likes to ‘Bang from deep'. In the final segment of the show, Boomer asks Gio what teams were most disappointing in week 1.

Mackenzie Rivers and Dan Rivera talk NFL Survivor for Week 1. 0:15–1:23 — Mackenzie Rivers kicks things off by welcoming listeners back, noting the show's growth from a small SoundCloud project to a widely followed contest discussion. His opening blends humor with a promise of actionable insight, reminding everyone the goal is making sharp picks and lasting deep into the season. 1:24–2:07 — Dan Rivera admits he's moved away from fantasy football, finding Survivor contests more rewarding. He frames it as a different kind of grind where deep runs matter more than fantasy titles, setting a tone of seriousness and strategy. 2:07–3:35 — Rivers highlights Philadelphia's opener, where betting lines moved from around −315 pregame to as high as −450 live. He credits Jalen Hurts' rushing as the difference-maker and cautions against overreacting to the close margin, signaling to Survivor players that patience pays. 3:57–6:34 — Rivera turns to Dallas, pointing out their lack of pass rush, reliance on penalties, and roster questions. His verdict is that Week 1 divisional games can be misleading, and bettors shouldn't make rash judgments about either team. 6:34–8:26 — Rivers adds that both sides had only eight possessions, skewing scoring totals. He sees Philly as a missed opportunity for those who didn't take them, stressing that contest entries using the Eagles now sit with an early advantage. 8:26–12:37 — The two break down contest formats. Circa runs 20 weeks with holidays as separate slates, BetOnline uses 19, and Splash demands double picks late in the season. Rivera calls Splash unfair, while Rivers corrects a schedule note, underscoring the importance of knowing rules inside out. 14:41–22:11 — The Denver Broncos emerge as the strongest pick. Rivera cites Tennessee's limited passing attack and shaky quarterback situation, while Rivers builds the case with history: rookie Week 1 quarterbacks are 2–10 straight up, No. 1 overall picks 1–8–1 in debuts, and Denver is 17–5 in Week 1 at altitude. He also stresses Sean Payton's strong Week 1 record. 25:46–32:51 — Washington versus the Giants is flagged as dangerous. Rivera notes regression risk for the Commanders' defense and praises New York's pass rush, while Rivers points out Kliff Kingsbury's teams often fade quickly. Survivor takeaway: avoid this shaky matchup. 32:52–41:54 — Arizona against New Orleans is another focus. Rivera is low on the Saints' offense, while Rivers goes further, calling them possibly the league's worst. Both see the Cardinals as nearly as safe as Denver, particularly with defensive pressure likely to cause problems. 46:41–49:53 — Rivers warns against Cincinnati as a Survivor choice, pointing to their September struggles under Zach Taylor and the Browns' ability to keep games close as divisional home dogs. 49:55–54:38 — Kansas City against the Chargers in Brazil is floated as a contrarian option. Rivera highlights the Chiefs' healthier roster and defensive strength, while Rivers acknowledges the upside but warns about neutral-site volatility. 54:39–1:01:12 — The Steelers versus Jets round out the debate. Rivera believes Tomlin will force Fields into passing errors and lean on the defensive front. Rivers adds historical data showing quarterbacks like Fields struggle early. They agree Pittsburgh is a viable but risky third option. Closing — The consensus locks Denver as the top pick, Arizona as a strong secondary, and Pittsburgh as a situational third. For formats allowing repeats, they lean toward doubling up on Denver. The wrap emphasizes discipline, historical awareness, and knowing contest rules as the keys to staying alive week after week.

September 3, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 19 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the news concerning New York Jets G Alijah Vera-Tucker, who reportedly has suffered a potentially significant injury and could miss considerable time because of it. This is big news with Pittsburgh Steelers scheduled to open their 2025 regular season on Sunday against the Jets. We discuss who will likely replace Vera-Tucker at right guard on Sunday and how the Jets are also set to start a rookie at right tackle in Week 1 as well. The Steelers released veteran WR Robert Woods from the team's practice squad on Monday so we discuss that transaction in addition to the player the team will reportedly sign to take his place on that 17-man unit. Alex and I also discuss veteran free agent WR Gabe Davis deciding to sign back with the Buffalo Bills on Monday. Steelers HC Mike Tomlin held his first weekly press conference of the 2025 season on Tuesday and as usual, Alex and I go over the key things that he had to say during that session with the local media. We talk about what Tomlin had to say about DL Cameron Heyward playing on Sunday versus what the veteran player said on his podcast about that subject recently. Tomlin talked about the running back rotation, defensive line division of labor and injured players on Tuesday so we make sure to address all of those topics during this show. We also talk about what Tomlin said about Jets QB Justin Fields on Tuesday. Cameron Heyward also defended his brother Connor Heyward as part of his recent podcast episode, so Alex and I make sure to address him doing that. We also talk about how there's still time for the Steelers to address Cameron Heyward's contract as well as the contract of K Chris Boswell before the team leaves on Saturday to play the Jets. Alex and I talk about the motivation that Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers has when it comes to him playing the Jets on Sunday. We also talk about the Rodgers versus Fields storyline ahead of the Sunday game for a bit. Later in this show, Alex and I go deeper into the numbers related to recent contract extension that Steelers RB Jaylen Warren signed and how the team certainly seems to have gotten the better side of that deal. This 90-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap and we make sure to answer a few email questions we received from listeners of the show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson review the first of the weekly press conferences for Steelers' head coach Mike Tomlin, and they determine how many of his responses are probably lies. Also, do you think the New York Jets would have an easier time running the ball if the Steelers don't have DL Cam Heyward on Sunday? And did you know about the postgame ritual for Penn State Football's head coach James Franklin? September 3, 2025, 7:00 Hour
Post-Gazette insiders Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldo report from the Mike Tomlin news conference and Steelers practice at the team's UPMC Rooney Sports Complex. What will the absence of Derrick Harmon mean to the defensive line? Especially with Cam Heyward still threatening to possibly hold out for NFL Week 1 against the New York Jets, which would leave the group thin beyond Keeanu Benton and Yahya Black? How likely is it that Nick Herbig will play as the outside linebackers led by T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith look to bounce back in pass rushing? And how seriously is Tomlin taking Heyward's threats? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, Jobe Morrison joins to discuss what Mike Tomlin had to say at his first Tomlin Tuesday of the regular season. We know Derrick Harmon won't be in the mix for the team, but what about Nick Herbig. What's the plan if Herbig can't go? How unique of a challenge is it to face a team with a new coaching staff, but also a QB you just had on your own roster? The team released WR Robert Woods from the practice squad. Is this the end of the road for him? Let's go for another Steelers Afternoon Drive and discuss all this! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mike Tomlin stated today that it was a mutual parting of ways between the Steelers and Justin Fields. Chris thinks there is a tell in some of Tomlin's pressers in terms of how much he thinks of the opponent's ability. Was it really a mutual split between Fields and the Steelers? The guys said Tomlin went back to the old school well of QB and not the modern-day type. Donny is calling for an upset – Jets beat the Steelers on Sunday.
Tomlin-ism of the Week.
Mike Tomlin is confident in his receiver group. Is he? The Steelers have looked around for WRs throughout the offseason and have yet again come up empty as the season is set to begin for real. He talked up Scotty Miller, Calvin Austin and Roman Wilson in his weekly presser. We looked at the stat lines for WRs in last season's opener and they were comical. Did the Steelers make a mistake by trading George Pickens? Poni thinks fantasy football is a good story teller to how people really feel about the Steelers.
5 days away from Steelers-Jets to open the season and we aren't sure if Cam Heyward will play. He said on his podcast “we'll see” when it comes to his status on Sunday. Mike Tomlin said he ‘expects' Cam to be out there, but it felt like he was mostly trying to stay out of it. Where would Cam's status go with Steelers fans if he doesn't play in Week 1? Calls on Cam Heyward and his status for Sunday. Tomlin-ism of the Week.

Greg said Bubba Chandler is expected to pitch tonight and likely enter the game in the 4th or 5th inning. When will we see Chandler start a game instead of entering out of the bullpen? Greg reacted to the stat about Henry Davis, which is him about to set a league record on hitting with runners in scoring position. Donny Football Debrief – AP Top 25 is out.

*NOTE: We recorded this podcast before the Dallas Cowboys traded Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers. But do not fret Football Americans! Shek provided his immediate reactions to the trade on our YouTube. -Newsman Bradley Best of times, worst of times? Beats the Dickens out of me what that one tale of two cities was about…but where Pittsburgh and Cleveland are concerned, I'm not sure who's better or worse… at least at sports' most important position. Now listen, I'm not insane. The Steelers will be better than the Browns this year--and of course we can laugh at the Browns. Oh my yes, we'll laugh at the Browns, that is my solemn vow. But whatever you think Cleveland's one step forward, 23-yards sack approach, at least they tried to solve the QB spot. As it happens, the two halves of pro pigskin's rusty yinz n yang are in the same spot, starting one-yr rentals both on the wrong side of 40…and that's not a real solution, especially if the goal is going the Super bowl. You think Aaron Rodgers is the missing link for a Lombardi run? the guy whose one and only trip was 15 years ago…against you? By that logic, maybe the Niners shoulda signed their SB43 conquerer Joe Flacco. I'm pretty sure the Steelers braintrust didn't see Sinners…because if they had, they'd know you don't invite in the guy who wants to suck the culture outta you and make it his own. Sorry if that's upsetting, but do keep in mind, yinz have merely adopted the darkness. I was born into it. Back in October of 2010, I said Rodgers would go down as the greatest QB in history. I still say he's the most talented. Or at least, he was. Now though, chasing the self-proclaimed private man who makes documentaries about himself isn't a sincere effort to go the Super bowl. It's about Rodgers and Tomlin's mutually beneficial hope they find redemption and reclaim professional dignity with A playoff win. There's a good reason why that story sounds familiar - it's the same script Tomlin tried with Russell Wilson last year. And that low standard is quite, Brownsie? Of course this didn't have to happen. At the draft they knew they needed a long term answer at QB…but took a D-tackle. And now, if Jaxson Dart is good, that's bad, and if Justin Fields beats Aaron Rodgers in Week One, well, it's gonna get just plain ugly. A-listers like Rodgers might get ink, but summer blockbusters fall in the NFL's offseason. The award winners don't come out til Autumn… and if you can't beat Patrick Mahomet, Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen in January. No matter which rust belt city you're in... there's no point to these fireworks. (And that reminds me, one last note to file away for next summer, Najee Harris - fireworks go in the sky, not your eye.) Let it begin! Ryan Clark joins the show to talk about Aaron Rodgers, cold shoulders and why Mike Tomlin never lost them a game. The Super Fuentes Brothers have the con in Miami. They're gonna help me with some fantasy decisions as the Angel & Devil on my shoulder. Newsman Bradley is in NYC with the black and white news.

Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson react to this NFL commentator who discusses where Aaron Rodgers will end up ranking among QBs in Mike Tomlin's head-coaching tenure.
In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson wonder if Steelers' head coach Mike Tomlin has abandoned his love for mobile QBs since Aaron Rodgers is now the starter.

In typical fashion, Mike Greenberg is high on hopium when it comes to Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin going into 2025. Poni listed off the QBs – some of which are complete bums – that won a playoff game more recently than Tomlin has. The guys don't think the Ben Roethlisberger excuse should still be used by pundits around the league. Chris thinks it's a tired argument from Greenberg and others on the subject. Poni isn't convinced Rodgers is better than what Russell Wilson gave them at QB last season. Are there some sneaky challenging games on the Steelers schedule? KDKA TV's Bob Pompeani joined the show. Pomp will be hosting our Pitt pregame coverage on Saturday and he said his wife, Lisa, a proud Duquesne alum, isn't happy about the point spread right now. Once Pomp brought up Rib Fest, the guys asked about Edmund Nelson, but Pomp promised that the infamous graphic from a Steelers preseason game. Pomp broke down the Steelers schedule and gave his prediction on the season. Would the Steelers run it back with Aaron Rodgers if he and the team have success in 2025? Pitt's over/under is 6.5 wins in 2025 and Pomp said he would take the over. Bob also likes the over for Penn State, which is sitting at 10.5 this season. Pomp gave Keegan Bradley his flowers for not picking himself for the Ryder Cup team. The guys asked Pomp what games we would get besides the Steelers-Jets matchup on our TVs in Week 1.

August 20, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 13 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the recent transactions made by the Pittsburgh Steelers that included the team parting ways with rookie undrafted free agent WR Roc Taylor. We go over why Taylor might have been jettisoned a few days ago. The Steelers had free agent WR Gabe Davis in for a second visit on Tuesday, so Alex and I discuss him reportedly leaving Pittsburgh unsigned once again. We address how Davis would fit with the Steelers if he is ultimately signed and what a contract for him would look like. Ahead of the team's Thursday night preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers, Alex and I go over the health of the Steelers 91-man roster. We discuss a few players we are hoping to learn more about when it comes to their injuries by the time the weekend is over. Steelers DT Cameron Heyward was back in team drills on Tuesday, so Alex and I discuss that big news as the team prepares for their final preseason game. We also talk about how Heyward, OLB T.J. Watt, QB Aaron Rodgers, and WR DK Metcalf are all scheduled to sit out Thursday night against the Panthers. Will the Steelers play CB Jalen Ramsey, CB Darius Slay, CB Joey Porter Jr., and S DeShon Elliott against the Panthers? Steelers HC Mike Tomlin sure made it sound like they all would during his Tuesday press conference. Alex and I discuss whether Tomlin will change his mind when it comes to those four players by the time kickoff rolls around. Alex and I also recap the few other minor things that Tomlin said on Tuesday. With the final preseason game now on tap, Alex and I look at a few players worth watching Thursday night when it comes to potential spots on the 53-man roster not deemed 100 percent secure. As part of this discussion, Alex and I go down a rabbit hole when it comes to the punter battle the Steelers need to conclude soon. Later in this show, Alex and I roll through our updated 53-man roster predictions with two preseason games now in the books. We discuss how there only seems to be a few questions regarding the initial roster right now and how players needing to go to Reserve/Injured as designated-to-return could shape a few final decisions. We also discuss how WR Scotty Miller might be used as a final roster manipulation piece should the need arise and why. This 90-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap, and we make sure to answer a few questions from listeners at the end of this show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who will not suit up in the preseason. That'll make the first time in the career of head coach Mike Tomlin that his quarterback will have not played a preseason game, but that's the trend around the NFL, and joint practices have allowed Tomlin and other coaches to get comfortable with the readiness of their players without seeing them inside a stadium.

In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson react to Steelers' head coach Mike Tomlin seemingly being alright with playing starters in the final preseason game of the year. Also, is the dispute with DL Cam Heyward finally coming to an end? August 20, 2025, 6:00 Hour
Post-Gazette insiders Brian Batko and Ray Fittipaldo recap Tuesday's Steelers practice at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side. What should we make of All-Pro defensive lineman and team captain Cam Heyward returning to practice amid news of a contract dispute? What went into coach Mike Tomlin's decision to NOT play Heyward, T.J. Watt, DK Metcalf and Aaron Rodgers in the final preseason game Thursday against the Carolina Panthers? Will Rodgers struggle to adjust when the regular season comes because he hasn't thrown in a game with his group of wide receivers including Metcalf, Roman Wilson and the injured Calvin Austin III? Besides that group of four, Tomlin said all other players are in consideration to play. Should he give his new-look secondary some run together and give new faces like Jalen Ramsey and Darius Slay Jr. time to mesh with Joey Porter Jr.? Our duo tackles those questions and more.
Alan Saunders and Zachary Smith discuss all things Pittsburgh Steelers. On today's episode, we discuss injury updates, update about Gabe Davis' status following him leaving without a contract yet again, talk about who Tomlin has already ruled out for Thursday and who else we might see not get any preseason action, and talk about Cam Heyward returning to being a full participant in the team's practice.

When MIke Tomlin wants to sit down and chop it up, you soak it in and try to take in all his words and wisdom. In this can't-miss 2025 training camp special —Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor—make their annual trip to Latrobe for a powerful, wide-ranging sit-down with Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, just weeks away from one of the most anticipated seasons in franchise history. Tomlin pulls back the curtain on what it's like coaching Aaron Rodgers, now in black and gold and laser-focused at another shot at a Super Bowl. From the moment Rodgers walked into the building, the standard didn't change—it elevated. Coach T talks leadership dynamics, the merging of legacies, key pick ups adding star power on both offense and defense and how he's building a locker room that can support both the present and the future. It's a true Sunday service with Coach's honesty and gems dropped as the guys go deep into what Rodgers still brings at age 41, the lessons learned from past seasons, and why this year may look a little different but rooted in the same core principles. Tomlin also reflects on his longevity in the league, the evolution of his leadership style, and the pressure—and privilege—of chasing greatness in a city that demands it. His love affair with football and what drives him each day is shared and he even reveals some secrets that will make the football world say- ohhh now I get it! Tap in now for the full conversation with Mike T as the guys peel back the layers of one of the most respected figures in sports.
