Steelers Podcast - The Terrible Podcast

Season 8, Episode 9 of The Terrible Podcast is now up and in this Friday show, David Todd and I get right into talking about what Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said during his morning press conference. We go over which players are in and out this week and if it’s a big deal that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and wide receiver Antonio Brown both won’t play until next week. We go over the not so much Thursday breaking news about running back Le’Veon Bell before moving on. Somehow, David and I get to talking about former Steelers second-round draft picks for a little while after talking about cornerback Senquez Golson and his future. We go over my short list of Steelers players that special teams coordinator Danny Smith likely has his eyes on ahead of Sundays preseason game. We talk about Tyler Matakevich being the primary inside linebacker backup at both positions and how two Steelers defensive starters are likely to miss all the preseason. We close the show by talking about the new final cut-down rules and if they are good are bad for a team like the Steelers. We also each throw out a few bold predictions for Sunday night. As always, several other smaller talking points are mixed in throughout the show that are not highlighted here in this post.

Season 8, Episode 8 of The Terrible Podcast is now up and in this Wednesday show, David Todd and I get right into talking about how the Pittsburgh Steelers training camp has gone so far with it starting to wind down this week. A few interesting comments were made by Steelers outside linebackers coach Joey Porter and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger over the course of the last few days and so we spend some time breaking them down. Will T.J. Watt and Bud Dupree really wind up being the Week 1 starters with James Harrison serving as the relief pitcher? We discuss that as well as Bell needing to be in “football shape” soon. How much say does special teams coordinator Danny Smith have when it comes to the final two roster spots? We discuss that as well as whether the Steelers return game will be better in 2017. We end the show with some breaking news about Steelers wide receiver Sammie Coates.

Season 8, Episode 7 of The Terrible Podcast is now up and in this Friday show, Alex Kozora sits in for David Todd and we get right to talking about the Friday report that named the Pittsburgh Steelers as a team possibly looking to trade for Los Angeles Rams cornerback Tremaine Johnson. That report is so absurd and I rant as to why that is. Steelers defensive coordinator Keith Butler recently had a lot to say about his defense and young members of the secondary so we go over his quotes and what they might mean. We talk about the play of several young Steelers cornerbacks Friday night and how the team might choose to keep six in total and not seven. Alex and I go over the Steelers base defense numbers from Friday night and especially how often it was used against 11 personnel. Is this a trend or just something being played with during the preseason? We end this episode by taking several questions from our listeners.
