Steelers Podcast - The Terrible Podcast

Season 7, Episode 41 of The Terrible Podcast is now up and in this Monday show, David Todd and I start things off by talking about the few injuries the Pittsburgh Steelers during Sunday’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys and what they might mean as far immediate roster shuffling goes. The Steelers 35-30 loss was very disappointing and thus David and I have quite a few things to discuss when it comes to recapping what took place at Heinz Field on Sunday. We start with what happened at the end of the game and work backwards from there for a change. As you can imagine, we talk quite a bit about the play of the Steelers defense against the Cowboys and especially when it comes to how that unit performed in the second half. We discuss a few snap counts along the way and wonder if defensive ends Cameron Heyward and Stephon Tuitt need more time off the field during games. We discuss the overall quality of the Steelers defensive personnel that they have right now. Head coach Mike Tomlin decided to go for two following every touchdown that was scored against the Cowboys so we break down those decisions. We also talk about the comments quarterback Ben Roethlisberger made after the game as he was clearly attempting to send a message. As usual, we wrap up our Friday podcast by given you our picks against the spread for all the Week 10 games and that includes our final score predictions for the Steelers game against the Cowboys. As always, several other smaller talking points are mixed in throughout the show that are not highlighted here in this post.

Season 7, Episode 40 of The Terrible Podcast is now up and in this Friday show, David Todd and I start things off by talking about Pittsburgh Steelers running back DeAngelo Williams, who reportedly underwent knee surgery this week. We discuss whether or not Williams has played his last snap for the Steelers as well as the candidates at the bottom of the 53-man roster who are at risk in order to make room for not only him while he’s down injured, but tight end Ladarius Green and linebacker Bud Dupree as well. Will Green be activated on Saturday? We give our thoughts on that possibly happening. After moving on to talk about the rest of the Steelers Thursday injury report, David and I quickly recap the Baltimore Ravens Thursday night win over the Cleveland Browns. We move on to talk extensively about the Steelers Sunday home game against the Dallas Cowboys and that starts with us discussing how good the Dallas offense has been so far this season and what the Steelers defense needs to do in order to contain them. Will rookie cornerback Artie Burns continue to see the bulk of playing time against the Cowboys even if the defense is forced to play a lot of base looks? We discuss that topic. We move on to discuss the play of the Cowboys defense so far this season and what we think the Steelers offense will need to do on Sunday in order to move the football against them. The Steelers offense has started slow in most of their games so far this season. We go over the stats and I see if David can remember the three scores that have taken place so far during the first two drives. As usual, we wrap up our Friday podcast by given you our picks against the spread for all the Week 10 games and that includes our final score predictions for the Steelers game against the Cowboys.

Season 7, Episode 39 of The Terrible Podcast is now up and in this Wednesday show, David Todd and I start things off by going over the status of several injured Pittsburgh Steelers players based on what head coach Mike Tomlin said Tuesday during his weekly press conference. We move on to talk more about the Steelers loss to the Baltimore Ravens and that includes more talk about the overall gameplan that was used as well as the play of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. Tomlin had a few other comments on Tuesday that we go over as we do every Wednesday. The Steelers need to get wide receiver Antonio Brown some help moving forward so we discuss whether or not Eli Rogers or tight end Ladarius Green can provide it. With the game against the Dallas Cowboys now on tap, we have Bob Sturm on the show for a little bit before technical difficulties occur. Bob covers the Cowboys for 96.7 The Ticket in addition to The Dallas Morning News. We get about 6 minutes with Bob before being forced to recap the rest of what he had to say. Hopefully David will have him on his radio show later this week as Bob knows quite a bit about the Cowboys. Just the same, please make sure to follow Bob on Twitter at @SportsSturm to get his updates on Cowboys prior to Sundays game against the Steelers. After recapping out talk with Bob, David and I spend the last part of this Wednesday show talking about the punt the Steelers had blocked Sunday against the Ravens.

Alex and I break down the Ravens on both sides of the football ahead of the upcoming game and how the Steelers offense might try to attack their defense.

Season 7, Episode 35 of The Terrible Podcast is now up and in this Monday show, Alex Kozora sits in for David Todd and we start off discussing whether we think Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will play Sunday in the team’s Week 9 game against the Baltimore Ravens.

We continue with our thoughts on the play of quarterback Landry Jones in the Steelers Week 7 home loss to the New England Patriots and what led to him holding onto the football quite a bit during that game. Alex and I discuss the impact that several players might be able to make on both sides of the football now that the bye week is over. In the second half of this podcast, Alex and I have a long talk about the Steelers defense and discuss what needs to change during the second half of the regular season.
