August 29, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 17 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, which was recorded late Thursday night, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Dallas Cowboys trading LB Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers earlier in the day. We go over several things related to the Pittsburgh Steelers as a result of Parsons being traded to the Packers and how the Cowboys managed the situation and negotiations with the player. Alex and I discuss the differences between Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and Steelers president Art Rooney II when it comes to how often each meets with the media. Alex and I also discuss how Parsons' agent is the same one that Cowboys WR George Pickens has. After discussing Parsons being traded, Alex and I discuss WR Marquez Valdes-Scantlingchoosing to sign with the San Francisco 49ers as a member of their practice squad following Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers reportedly recruiting him to sign with Pittsburgh. We discuss the possibility of Valdes-Scantling staying with the 49ers all season and whether there is still a chance he could wind up with the Steelers at some point in 2025. The Steelers have now established their initial practice squad for 2025, so Alex and I discuss the 17 players that have now been signed to that unit. We go over each player and how unusual it is for all 17 to come from the final 91-man roster. We also discuss the additional transactions the Steelers made on Thursday that included two players, S Chuck Clark and G Max Scharping, being signed to the 53-man roster, and two other players, QB Will Howard and CB Donte Kent, being placed on the Reserve/Injured list. Did the Steelers stunt the initial growth of Howard by placing him on the Reserve/Injured list to start the 2025 season? Will Howard stay on that list all season? Alex and I attempt to answer those two questions during this episode. Alex and I discuss the Steelers offensive line and wide receiver depth as the team gets ready for their Week 1 road game against the New York Jets. We also discuss a few possible roster elevations that might take place a week from Saturday. This 67-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.

On his weekly Chipped Ham & Football podcast, Post-Gazette insider Brian Batko welcomes KDKA-TV sports reporter Rich Walsh to react to the Steelers' final roster cuts down to their 53-man roster for NFL Week 1. Is it bad news for Mason Rudolph that Skylar Thompson earned the No. 3 job over Will Howard? Could he challenge Rudolph for the No. 2 role behind Aaron Rodgers? Was the release of RB Trey Sermon a good sign for rookie Kaleb Johnson as he looks to find his way in a backfield with Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell? And who were the biggest surprise cuts from coach Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan? Does the list include Robert Woods, Chuck Clark or James Pierre? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

The biggest surprise for Mark is the Steelers likely putting Will Howard on IR. Mark would keep Howard active and wouldn't be good for him to miss a month and hop on the moving train. Mark doesn't think there wouldn't be interest in Diontae Johnson. He thinks Marquez Vandes-Scantling is a Mike Williams type of guy.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Bill Cowher thinks this is the Steelers best roster since they won a playoff game in 2016. The 2017 roster was better and we have too many questions about this team. Steelers insider Mark Kaboly of The Pat McAfee Show joined the show. The biggest surprise for Mark is the Steelers likely putting Will Howard on IR. Mark would keep Howard active to get the practice reps.

More reaction to the Steelers 53-man roster with a few surprises. Skylar Thompson will make the initial roster with Will Howard going on the IR ‘at some point.' The Steelers cut Beanie Bishop after he was the camp darling of 2024 and finished the season with 4 interceptions. Steelers film junkie Derrick Bell from Pittsburgh Sports Now joined the show. Derrick was a little bit surprised by Skylar Thompson making the roster, but he made it difficult to deny. Derrick thinks Will Howard could have a solid, backup QB career, but is hesitant on saying he'd be a ‘good' starting QB. Derrick got more into Howard's game and what he likes/doesn't like. Derrick gave his take on some of the receivers that are on the open market after cut-down day and if the Steelers will kick the tires on any. He said Jakobi Meyers is the move they should try to make. Derrick believes Steelers fans should be ‘extremely' excited about Yahya Black after what he did in the preseason. What kind of trade package and money would it take for the Steelers to acquire Meyers in Vegas? Derrick mentioned a player or two he would like to see the Steelers claim from another club. Name Game.

In this clip from the Monday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo project the team's 53-man roster for the offensive side of the ball. -How will coach Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan sort out the logjam at QB? Will Skylar Thompson win the No. 3 job behind Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph, sending Will Howard to injured reserve? -Why does Trey Sermon have a chance to make the team at running back behind Jaylen Warren, Kaleb Johnson and Kenneth Gainwell? -Is Scotty Miller a lock to be WR4 behind DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin III & Roman Wilson? What other wideouts will make the roster? -Will Connor Heyward make the team as a fourth tight end alongside Jonnu Smith, Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington? -Which offensive linemen will join starters including Broderick Jones, Troy Fautanu and Zach Frazier?

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise weighs in on the hottest topics in Pittsburgh sports. Specifically, he gives his thoughts on a suggestion by ESPN's Bill Barnwell that the Steelers could trade for Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson after he lost a competition with Daniel Jones to start. Should GM Omar Khan really consider dealing for the 23-year-old, who's had mixed results so far, as a potential successor to Aaron Rodgers? Are internal options like Mason Rudolph, Skylar Thompson and Will Howard preferable? Or should Khan focus on the 2026 NFL draft in Pittsburgh, that figures to include talented rookie options like Arch Manning, Drew Allar, Nico Iamaleava, Cade Klubnik and Garrett Nussmeier?

Steelers insider Nick Farabaugh from Penn Live dot com joined the show. The Steelers made some more cuts in the last few minutes, so the guys got Nick's initial reaction as the roster fills out. Nick said he isn't ‘stunned' that Cameron Johnston was released, but Corliss Waitman looked good and came at a cheaper price. Nick believes there may have been some holding skill that Chris Boswell liked from Waitman. Nick expects Robert Woods to be among the list of cuts. Nick said names like DeMarvin Leal, Beanie Bishop and Cory Trice are the notables to pay attention to tomorrow. Nick wouldn't be surprised by an offensive lineman and/or wide receiver coming in from the outside. The guys had Nick go through some WR names that fit the mold of what the Steelers are looking for. Nick does think Allen Lazard is among the names the Steelers could bring in, due to the connection with Aaron Rodgers. Nick isn't a fan of ESPN suggesting the Steelers could trade for Anthony Richardson. Nick expects Will Howard to be practicing soon and to not be placed on IR. Nick said he wouldn't rule out free safety being an addition before the regular season.

A classic QB debate to start the show. Should the Steelers use a short-term IR spot on Will Howard? Poni thinks the team may really have something on the rookie QB, despite him not playing a down of preseason football. Chris wanted Poni to temper down the hype, but he wasn't having it. What should the expectations be for Howard?

What should the expectations be for Howard? Are people already turning on Will Howard? A quick Pitt-Penn State discussion. Pirates pre/post game host Dan Zangrilli joined the show. The Pirates swept the Rockies over the weekend. Bubba Chandler earned a 4-inning save in his debut Friday night. Paul Skenes shut out Colorado over 7 innings yesterday. The guys shared a staggering stat about the 2025 Pirates and their home/road splits. Dan shared his reaction of Bubba's debut, but mentioned how he didn't think his call-up was deserved at the time. Dan said there is a lot to be excited about when it comes to Pirates pitching in 2026. Will we see Chandler in the bulk relief role for the remainder of the season? Dan thinks Konnor Griffin has an outside chance to break spring training with the club going into 2026, the way Jared Jones did last year. Griffin has good early returns in Altoona and Dan wants to see the bump up to AAA before the season is over.

Steelers insider Brian Batko from the PG joined the show. Brian says that he doesn't think the Steelers want to give up picks for Jakobi Meyers, and he thinks that the Raiders would want a receiver back. Brian thinks that Will Howard will get an IR spot for at least the first four weeks. He also doesn't know whether or not Beanie Bishop will make the team. Brian thinks that Corliss Waitman will be the Steelers punter this year.

We will see a bunch of roster moves from the Steelers before the cut deadline tomorrow. Jakobi Meyers just requested a trade from the Raiders, and the Steelers should be interested in him. Meyers had over 1000 yards last year. Justin Jefferson and Deandre Hopkins are the only two receivers with a recent drop-rate that's lower. Steelers insider Brian Batko from the PG joined the show.

Brian thinks that Corliss Waitman will be the Steelers punter this year. Donny Football Debrief – The Bucs cut Desmond Watson, the 450-pound defensive tackle. Corliss Waitman has officially won the punter battle for the Steelers. Mark Kaboly said 3 days ago that Johnston had the job one.

We poked some fun at Kaboly for whiffing on his punter battle prediction. Who are some WR targets the Steelers should be circling in the coming days? ESPN posted an article that predicted the Steelers would make a trade for Anthony Richardson since he's set to be the Colts backup QB. Steelers insider Nick Farabaugh from Penn Live dot com joined the show. The Steelers made some more cuts in the last few minutes, so the guys got Nick's initial reaction as the roster fills out.

In this clip from the Wednesday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette insider Christopher Carter to ponder the losers at Steelers training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. Could Robert Woods miss the team at receiver, having possibly been surpassed on the depth chart by names like Roman Wilson and Scotty Miller? Or does he still have a chance to find chemistry with QB Aaron Rodgers? Where does Isaiahh Loudermilk fit in the pecking order on the defensive line after rookies Derrick Harmon and Yahya Black had strong outings? Is Cory Trice Jr. in danger of losing a roster spot amid yet another injury? And with competitors like Beanie Bishop and James Pierre putting solid tape together? And could Skylar Thompson be a threat to Will Howard as the No. 3 QB behind Rodgers and Mason Rudolph? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

Will Howard is not ruling out playing this preseason. Intern Dom joins the show. If Howard plays well, Dom thinks some people will lobby for Howard to start. Dom would trade Cam Heyward to Cleveland and is fed up with contract discussions.

Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Ramsey said Joey Porter Jr. wants to do it and will have his time. Ramsey told Ryan Clark on The Pivot it's the most fun training camp he's been a part of and most he's enjoyed football. Will Howard is not ruling out playing this preseason. Dom would trade Cam Heyward to Cleveland and is fed up with contract discussions.

Did Rudolph deserve more consideration as the starter from coach Mike Tomlin and GM Omar Khan prior to the signing of Aaron Rodgers? Are his preseason results worth taking seriously, especially without key offensive pieces like DK Metcalf and Jonnu Smith in the lineup? And if Aaron Rodgers struggles to lead OC Arthur Smith's offense, how quickly should Tomlin consider turning to Rudolph? Paul tackles those questions and more from the win against the Jaguars. What should we make of big nights from Scotty Miller, Roman Wilson and Darnell Washington? How good can Payton Wilson be at middle linebacker? And should Skylar Thompson get a chance to make the roster at QB amid Will Howard's injury?

In this hour, Adam Crowley and Dorin Dickerson address the QB play from Saturday's Steeler game and wonder how that could affect Will Howard if it stays consistent. Also, former Steeler Trai Essex comes on The Fan Hotline. August 11, 2025, 8:00 Hour

August 10, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 8 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Sunday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers on the heels of their Saturday night preseason game win against the Jacksonville Jaguars. After some initial overarching thoughts on the first preseason game, Alex and I roll through the additional players that did not play against the Jaguars due to injuries. We also go over the one injury the Steelers did sustain during the Saturday night preseason game that HC Mike Tomlin highlighted during his short postgame press conference. Alex and I then get into breaking down the Saturday night preseason game based only on the television copy, and we start on the offensive side of the football. We discuss the play of quarterbacks Mason Rudolph and Skyler Thompson on Saturday night and how both played well above the line. We discuss those two quarterbacks pushing the football down the field quite frequently in Jacksonville and also discuss the few touchdown passes from the game. Could Thompson potentially make the Steelers 53-man roster as the third string quarterback over rookie Will Howard? Might the Steelers consider placing Howard on the Reserve/Injured list to accommodate Thompson? How about the Steelers potentially trading Thompson before the start of the 2025 regular season? We discuss all of those questions early in this show. Moving forward in this preseason game recap, Alex and I go through all of the position groups on both sides of the football. We talk snap totals and the play of several individual players on both offense and defense against the Jaguars. We make sure to hit on the offensive line combinations used Saturday night and how the pass blocking was much better than the run blocking in Jacksonville. Alex and I make sure to note the play of all of the rookie draft picks that played Saturday night such as DT Derrick Harmon, RB Kaleb Johnson, OLB Jack Sawyer, DT Yahya Black, and ILB Carson Bruener. We make sure to hit on special teams play from Saturday night and that includes the Jaguars kicker nailing a 70-yard field goal before the end of the first half. Our top takeaways from the first preseason game of 2025 are also mixed in throughout this podcast episode.

The Pittsburgh Steelers put the pads back on for Tuesday's practice, and Jarrett Bailey was in Latrobe to take in all the sights. Aaron Rodgers has his best practice as a Steeler, Roman Wilson impresses, and Will Howard suffers an injury. That and more on today's training camp recap.

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette insider Christopher Carter to analyze the team's increasing volume of injuries during Steelers training camp. How much will Will Howard's hand injury -- which reportedly will keep him out at least three weeks -- stymie his progress in challenging Mason Rudolph for the No. 2 QB job? How much should fans worry about Calvin Austin III, who's missed several practices as he looks to prove he can be a capable WR2 behind DK Metcalf? And have the absences of names like Jonnu Smith, Joey Porter Jr., Isaac Seumalo and others simply been the normal wear and tear of camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks receivers. Is Roman Wilson starting to turn a corner in his chemistry with QB Aaron Rodgers after a highlight-reel catch Tuesday? Is Scotty Miller still in the mix to make the roster despite failing to see the field much with Justin Fields and Russell Wilson in 2024? Could the Steelers still make a move for a veteran like Amari Cooper? Or are they confident in their depth and other veterans like Robert Woods and Ben Skowronek.

Post-Gazette insiders Gerry Dulac and Ray Fittipaldo recap practice at Steelers training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. They break down the latest Will Howard injury news, which is that the rookie QB is expected to miss the entire NFL preseason with a broken hand, opening up reps for names like Mason Rudolph and Skyler Thompson. They also analyze the punting battle between Cameron Johnston and Corliss Waitman. And react to QB Aaron Rodgers' comments indicating that he does not expect to play in the preseason opener this weekend. Is coach Mike Tomlin making the right move to protect his QB? Or should Rodgers see some action as he looks to build chemistry with weapons like DK Metcalf, Roman Wilson, Calvin Austin III, Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth. Our guys tackle those questions and more.

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 the injury to rookie quarterback Will Howard and how that will impact the team's plans. Howard is expected to miss the entire 2025 preseason after suffering a broken pinky at practice on Tuesday. The team had planned to play him a ton this preseason, so how will his absence impact their plans in terms of preseason playing time, the backup quarterback situation, and their plans for the 2026 season? Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
