Steelers Podcast - The Terrible Podcast

Season 6, Episode 104 of The Terrible Podcast is now up and in this Monday show, co-host David Todd and I get right to discussing the main talking points from the Pittsburgh Steelers Monday pre-draft press conference. While Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert and head coach Mike Tomlin obviously didn’t reveal much ahead of the 2016 NFL Draft, David and I attempt to parse several of the comments both made as it relates to several answers they gave to questions from the local media. We talk about the cornerback position as it relates to it possibly being the team’s first-round draft pick and also spend time talking about comments Colbert made about the nose tackle position in addition to how they evaluate injured draft prospects. We spend a lot of time talking about West Virginia safety Karl Joseph as it relates to his health in addition to him possibly being the team’s first-round selection. I attempt to narrow down the Steelers first round draft pick to three choices. After thoroughly breaking down what Colbert and Tomlin had to say on Monday, David and I discuss the recent news that revolves around Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford and New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

Season 6, Episode 103 of The Terrible Podcast is now up and in this Friday show, co-host David Todd is back after having the last few weeks off. Let me first let you know that this episode has been highly edited as it was originally supposed to include another interview pre-draft with Dave-Te Thomas. However, due to that audio somehow becoming corrupted and thus unusable, I was unable to include our 30-minute talk with him in this show. While I was going to scrap this entire show, David thought it would be fine to pass along the discussions we had about the Pittsburgh Steelers in addition to the few draft trades that were made this past week so that you would at least have something to entertain you on this Friday. I apologize for the technical difficulties that we had that has led to us not being able to bring you that well-anticipated interview and while I can’t promise you we’ll be able to get Thomas scheduled for next week, I will attempt to see if he’ll give us a do-over. Please consider this a VERY Terrible Podcast. As always, several other smaller talking points are mixed in throughout the show that are not highlighted here in this post.
