Podcasts about Tomlin

November 19, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 52 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers making a few transactions since our last show with one of those being the signing of QB/WR John Rhys Plumlee back to the practice squad on Tuesday. We talk about why Plumlee was likely added to the practice squad in addition to discussing why five other players were brough in for tryouts on Tuesday. Alex and I then go over the list of injured players the Steelers have heading into Week 12 with QB Aaron Rodgers obviously being our main focus due to a fracture of some kind in his left wrist. We discuss what all HC Mike Tomlin had to say on Tuesday about Rodgers possibly playing on Sunday against the Chicago Bears and whether our gut feelings tell us when it comes to that possibly happening. Should the Steelers strongly consider starting QB Mason Rudolph against the Bears regardless of what transpires this week with Rodgers? Alex and I attack that question in this show and also talk about the possibility of Rodgers being the backup on Sunday against the Bears. We also talk a little about rookie QB Will Howard possibly getting a few first-team reps this week with Rodgers slowed by injury. As usual, Alex and I parse all of the notable talking points that came out of Tomlin Tuesday. We discuss what Tomlin had to say about playing time on Sunday for CB Darius Slay and CB James Pierre and if indeed the former will wind up resuming as the starter against the Bears if he clears concussion protocol this week. We discuss what playing time on Sunday might and should look like on Sunday against the Bears when it comes to both Slay and Pierre. Tomlin talked some about TE Darnell Washington and his usage in the offense on Tuesday, so we make sure to dive a bit deeper into those comments. We also talk about what Tomlin had to say about the reaction S Jalen Ramsey had to Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase spitting on him in the second half of the Week 11 Sunday game at Acrisure Stadium. With Chase having his one-game suspension upheld on Tuesday as part of his appeal process, Alex and I address what should happen to every player that spits on another player during a game and how the NFL needs to take a more defined punishment stance moving forward. With the All-22 tape from the Steelers' Sunday home win against the Bengals now fully digested by us, Alex and I discuss the good, bad and ugly that we uncovered from that. We start with the defense and go over how that unit effectively did against the pass on Sunday and the changes that we have seen schematically the last several weeks with Ramsey and Kyle Dugger now manning the two safety positions. We also discuss the three outside linebacker packages the Steelers used on Sunday against the Bengals and how effective that was. After talking about the defensive play on Sunday, Alex and I move on to talk some about what we saw from the Steelers offense on the all-22 tape from the game against the Bengals. We were both less enthused when it came to that side of the football and we explain why. We also wonder if Rudolph might try to push the football down the field more on Sunday against the Bears should he indeed get the start in that contest over the injured Rodgers. Alex and I mix in quite a few tape observations during this show and we make sure to discuss the recent play of several different players as well. Alex previews a tape study that he is working on when it comes to Steelers DT Keeanu Benton as well. This 110-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted and we wrap things up by answering several emails we received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise considers coach Mike Tomlin's options in his defense's secondary, ahead of an NFL Week 12 matchup with the Chicago Bears. This show is presented by FanDuel. Should Darius Slay be benched in favor of red-hot James Pierre at cornerback? Or does it make the most sense to stick with the battle-tested veteran opposite Joey Porter Jr. Especially considering his gaudy contract? Where does Brandin Echols belong in the conversation? And with Slay starting this week either way, how long should Tomlin and DC Teryl Austin continue to stick with him if he struggles? Paul tackles those questions, plus the latest with the Aaron Rodgers injury situation. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hour 4 with Joe Starkey: What changed for Mason Rudolph over the years? Mason Rudolph has done a good job playing with pace and working with the offense. Darnell Washington is showing great signs and has unique talents. Darius Slay is going to return as a starter. Jeff Passan is reporting that the Pirates offered Josh Naylor double the contract they signed Francisco Liriano too. Passan linked the Bucs to Kyle Schwarber!

What changed for Mason Rudolph over the years? Shoutout to Luke Kuechly. Mike Tomlin is very impressed by Caleb Williams. Williams is creative with his mobility. Tomlin doesn't think Will Howard is going to be able to duplicate the play style of Williams in practice! He threw a shot at Will Howard. Mason Rudolph has done a good job playing with pace and working with the offense.

Tomlin Tidbit – It sounds like Mike Tomlin is ready to give Darius Slay his job back once he's healthy.

Tomlin Takes – What else did Mike Tomlin say to the media today? 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show.

Jeff said veterans tend to get their jobs back and that's why Tomlin proclaimed Darius Slay a starter once he is healthy. Jeff painted the picture of how questions go down at the presser every week. Jeff explained why there is sometimes a lack of ‘tough' questions. Name Game.

George Pickens had another big night as the Cowboys rolled to a win in Las Vegas. Is a lot of the fanbase starting to look wrong about that trade? Pickens is mostly behaving with CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott. His coach actually disciplined him a little bit to begin the game. Chris isn't walking it back and said it was a trade the Steelers needed to make. Prescott probably deserves the brunt of the credit because he is far and away the best QB Pickens has ever played with. Would DK Metcalf have better numbers if Pickens was still here? Even though it's fair, a lot is being assumed about what Pickens in Pittsburgh in 2025 would have been like. Should the Steelers regret trading George Pickens for a 3rd round pick? Tomlin Tidbit – It sounds like Mike Tomlin is ready to give Darius Slay his job back once he's healthy.

November 12, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 49 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers making several transactions since our last show with one of those being the signing of CB Asante Samuel Jr. to the team's practice squad. After going over all of the recent transactions, that also includes rookie QB Will Howard being activated to the 53-man roster from the Reserve/Injured list, Alex and I talk about what kind of player the Steelers are getting in Samuel. We also discuss the possibility of Samuel making his Steelers debut as early as Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Steelers will have several notable injured players worth tracking these next few days, so Alex and I run through that list based on the information that HC Mike Tomlin provided on Tuesday during his weekly press conference. As usual, Alex and I parse all of the notable talking points that came out of Tomlin Tuesday. We discuss what Tomlin had to say about S Jalen Ramsey, the Week 10 usage of RB Jaylen Warren, the possibility of WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling getting elevated sooner rather than later, and much more. Tomlin gave us several things to discuss on this Wednesday, so we spend quite a bit of time doing so. With the All-22 tape from the Steelers' Sunday night road loss to the Los Angeles Chargers now fully digested by us, Alex and I discuss the good, bad and ugly that we uncovered from that. We start with the offense and that includes a discussion about how poorly QB Aaron Rodgers played, the explosive plays he missed, the running game output, third down failures, and much more. Should WR Roman Wilson start receiving more playing time than WR Calvin Austin III moving forward? Alex and I discuss that topic as well as whether we are concerned about Rodgers coming off his poor showing on Sunday night. Alex and I make sure to discuss the play of the Steelers' defense against the Chargers and how that unit started to wear down in the second half. We look at the first half running success the Chargers' offense had in the first half related to the second half. Alex and I mix in quite a few tape observations during this show and we make sure to discuss the recent play of several different players as well. This 110-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted and we wrap things up by answering several emails we received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani, Joe Starkey, and Mark Kaboly: Steelers insider Mark Kaboly of The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. Mark thinks there is less than a 1% chance the Steelers move off Tomlin now as a "free pass." Joe thinks there wouldn't be a backlash if the Steelers traded Tomlin to the Giants for a top five pick. Kenneth Gainwell has proven he can provide a different type of option at running back, but we all want to see Jaylen Warren get more opportunities.

Mark thinks there is less than a 1% chance the Steelers move off Tomlin now as a "free pass." Joe thinks there wouldn't be a backlash if the Steelers traded Tomlin to the Giants for a top five pick. Kaboly thinks this is a never-ending cycle that will end in 9-8.

In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson wonder how Steelers' head coach Mike Tomlin must be feeling about QB Aaron Rodgers after hearing Tomlin's press conference on Tuesday. Also, would Pitt Football fans rather the team beat WVU or Notre Dame? November 12, 2025, 6:00 Hour

In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson continue addressing hypotheticals about the Steelers trading head coach Mike Tomlin to the New York Giants. Also, Ray Fittipaldo from The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette comes on The Fan Hotline. And a look around the NFL! November 12, 2025, 8:00 Hour

Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike puts a low percentage on a Mike Tomlin trade because it would require Tomlin's want to do it, but also because the Steelers take such pride in only have 3 coaches in 50+ years. Mike said there will always be a team out there that is interested in having what the Steelers always have – being in playoff contention every year. Mike expects Tomlin to always have options, but doesn't think it would be half of the league bowing down to have his services. Are the Giants an attractive job with Jaxson Dart at QB? Mike doesn't sense any appetite in the Steelers to make a change. Jakobi Meyers is the only WR Mike heard the Steelers were in on at the deadline. Mike was confused by Tomlin saying it wasn't an ‘off night' for Aaron Rodgers, but not being concerned about his long-term performance. The guys caught Mike by surprise when they brought up the New York Post story regarding his wife and how the Steelers' wives/girlfriends have no proof of her existence. Mike said Asante Samuel Jr. was in-demand around the league and credited the Steelers for making a low-risk move.

It doesn't sound like Pat Narduzzi is taking this matchup against Notre Dame very seriously, saying he doesn't care if they lose the game by 100 points, as long as they win the final 2 (against Georgia Tech and Miami). Why does it feel like the fans care more than the head coach? Is Narduzzi just doing a bit here in his downplay of the Fighting Irish? The guys wondered how Pitt's season could be rattled if they do get killed by Notre Dame on Saturday. Poni is worried about Desmond Reid being held out if Pat doesn't see it as a big game. How are Pitt fans feeling going into the Notre Dame game? Is this the biggest game Pat Narduzzi has coached in Pittsburgh? Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show.

Mike Tomlin isn't worried about Aaron Rodgers after the other night. Poni thinks it was a bad enough game to scare him about the season's future with him at QB.

Happy Veteran's Day to all of our vets. Another Tomlin Tuesday was highlighted by media in New York naming Mike Tomlin as a real candidate as the Giants next head coach. We have had this conversation in the past, but is there any real inkling of this? The Mara family and the Rooney family are very close, so there is at least that dot to connect. Tomlin would have a potential franchise QB waiting for him if he made that move. The guys wondered how Tomlin would acclimate to the New York media, especially if things didn't go well.
