Steelers Podcast - The Terrible Podcast

August 6, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 6 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, which was recorded late Tuersday night, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the recent hand injury suffered by Pittsburgh Steelers rookie QB Will Howard. We discuss the probability that Howard will miss all of the preseason and how the team might add another quarterback to the roster on Wednesday because of that. After wallowing in the Howard injury news quite a bit. Alex and I then discuss the health of the rest of the roster heading into Wednesday’s training camp practice. We also go over other roster-related news that includes one recent transaction that the Steelers made. The Steelers released their first depth chart of the 2025 offseason on Tuesday, so Alex and I go over what is right and wrong with it ahead of the team's first preseason game on Saturday night. Alex and I look ahead a little bit to the first preseason game on Saturday against the Jacksonville Jaguars and that includes us going over training camp performances of several players on the roster. HC Mike Tomlin spoke to the media after the team's Tuesday training camp practice, so we recap that short press conference during this show. Later in this show, Alex and I discuss Steelers OLB T.J. Watt wanting to switch sides more in 2025 and if DT Cameron Heyward should think about doing the same. This 66-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap, and we make sure to answer a few listener questions at the very end. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

August 4, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 5 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the health of the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of a day off at training camp. We discuss Steelers OLB Alex Highsmith and his groin injury history and CB Cory Trice Jr. being sidelined again by yet another injury. Alex and I look at the Steelers’ biggest depth needs at this point of the summer and that includes a deeper dive into the tackle position. We also discuss the potential need for another wide receiver and if the team will even consider adding another veteran at some point prior to the 2025 regular season getting underway. Steelers TE Darnell Washington was asked recently if he would consider moving to tackle at some point down the road so Alex and I discuss what he had to say about that, and probability of such a position move ever happening. The Steelers used ILB Mark Robinson at fullback during Sunday's training camp practice, so Alex and I discuss that little tidbit. How many times will we see the Steelers use four tight ends in 2025? Alex and I address that question during this show. We also discuss several different players on the Steelers roster with training camp now over halfway completed. Should there be a lot of concern about the Steelers offense the way the unit has looked so far during training camp? We address that question later in this show and also how much, if any, QB Aaron Rodgers will play in the team's first preseason game this coming Saturday night. We wind this show down by discussing several players we look forward to watching in the first preseason game. This 83-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap, and we make sure to answer a few listener questions at the very end. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

August 1, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 4 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers getting ready for their annual training camp night practice under the high school lights. We make a point to recap the health of the Steelers ahead of their Friday Night Lights practice and how a roster move or two are likely to happen at some point today because of recent injuries the team has sustained to their defensive line. Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin was in the news on Thursday night as he has reportedly requested to be traded. Alex and I look at the likelihood, plausibility, and probability related to Steelers trading for McLaurin. While neither of us think the Steelers will trade for McLaurin, we both think the Steelers should at least inquire about him. We discuss how cash spending would likely be the biggest obstacle when it comes to the Steelers possibly trading for McLaurin. Alex and I then move on to discuss several recent comments made by Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers since our last episode. We go over what Rodgers said about how Steelers HC Mike Tomlin courted him this offseason and what he thinks about C Zach Frazier, who enters his second NFL season. We go over a few interesting stats related to Rodgers and those compare to other NFL quarterbacks such as Russell Wilson and Ben Roethlisberger throughout their careers. Alex goes over his impressions of Steelers training camp as it nears the halfway point. I reveal the one word on my mind when it comes to the 2025 Steelers at this point of the offseason. I have Alex quickly recap his evaluations of five overlooked players at this point of training camp. This 94-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap, and we make sure to answer a few listener questions at the very end. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

July 30, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 3 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, which was recorded Tuesday night, Alex Kozora and I get right to discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers having their Tuesday training camp practice ruined by inclement weather just as it was about to get underway. Alex and I go over the several transactions that the Steelers made on Tuesday with the primary one being the contract termination of RB/KR Cordarrelle Patterson. We also discuss the team waiving OLB Jeremiah Moon and WR Montana Lemonious-Craig being waived as injured. We briefly discuss the two new players that the Steelers signed on Tuesday as well. Steelers HC Mike Tomlin did have a press conference on Tuesday after the team finished their work inside, so Alex and I go over the key things that he had to say during it.

We finally have the contract details for new Steelers S Chuck Clark to pass along so we go over the specifics related to his one-year deal that he recently signed with the team. Two former Steelers players, S Minkah Fitzpatrick and G Nate Herbig, were in the news cycle the last few days so we go over the reasons for that. Alex and I also discuss the latest news concerning the camp holdout of Cincinnati Bengals DE Trey Hendrickson. Are the Steelers gaining more faith from the major media when it comes to the 2025 season now that training camp is underway? Alex and I both seem to think so and we explain why we think that might be.
