In this Monday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the early Monday morning transactions that the Pittsburgh Steelers made as they start trimming their roster down to 53 active players by Tuesday afternoon.

We discuss what stuck out overall in that last preseason game, the play of quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, and much more.

In this Tuesday episode, Alex Kozora and I start it off by discussing the recent eight-game suspension that the NFL handed down to Pittsburgh Steelers CB Cameron Sutton on Monday. We go over what the suspension means for the Steelers' slot cornerback job to start the 2024 regular season, the many combatants for that job, and if any more options might be on the way as the summer progresses. We also discuss Sutton deciding to not appeal his suspension as well. After talking quite a bit about the Sutton suspension and the fallout from that, Alex and I are pleased to welcome former Steelers defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau back to the show. Tuesday is the official release date of LeBeau's new book, 'Legendary' and it mostly revolves around the Steelers legendary 2008 defense.

July 5, 2024 - Season 14, Episode 151 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday episode, Alex Kozora and I start by talking about a recent play-action stats study that I completed which focused on the two-year history of new Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Alex and I go deep into our expectations for the Steelers' offense in 2024 when it comes to play-action usage and that should be favorable for the team's two new quarterbacks. Alex recently finished an outlook for passing touchdown distribution in 2024 with Arthur Smith now installed as the team's new offensive coordinator so we get some mileage out of that discussion. What does Steelers OLB Alex Highsmith need to work on in 2024? Alex and I have a long discussion about him and what we expect the Steelers' sack output to be in 2024. We also have brief discussion about pressures versus sacks. Alex and I then discuss the next nine players in my 90-In-30 series that has been running on the site for the last few weeks. The nine players we discussed late in this show are CB Thomas Graham Jr., OT Devery Hamilton, OL Anderson Hardy, RB Najee Harris, OL Nate Herbig, OLB Nick Herbig, DT Cameron Heyward, TE/FB Connor Heyward, and Highsmith.

July 2, 2024 - Season 14, Episode 150 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Tuesday episode, Alex Kozora and I start by talking about a recent post I did on new Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson and his deep passing performance last season as a member of the Denver Broncos. Alex recently posted a video about the play of Steelers ILB Elandon Roberts in 2023 so we go over his findings and he might fit into the 2024 defensive plans and especially if fellow ILB Cole Holcomb is fully healthy to start the regular season. Some early 2024 over/under rushing yardage lines are now out for Steelers running backs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren so Alex and I have a discussion about those odds and the expected output for each player this upcoming season. San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk made an appearance on the latest episode of The Pivot Podcast, so Alex and I discuss a few things he had to say during that interview. Alex and I then move forward to discuss the next nine players in my 90-In-30 series that has been running on the site for the last few weeks. The nine players we discussed late in this show are S Jalen Elliott, OT Troy Fautanu, DT Breiden Fehoko, QB Justin Fields, OL Joey Fisher, WR Dez Fitzpatrick, S Minkah Fitzpatrick, OC Zach Frazier, and TE Pat Freiermuth.

June 28, 2024 - Season 14, Episode 149 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday episode, Alex Kozora and I start by talking about the verdict of the antitrust lawsuit against the NFL and their Sunday Ticket package. We go over what that verdict means at this point, how litigation is likely to be tied up in the courts for several more years, and what the eventual fallout of it all might be. Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson recently worked out with Seattle Seahawks WR DK Metcalf, so we go over the little bit of noise that created on social media. Alex recently wrote about three stats related to the Steelers that must improve in 2024 so we go over that list. We discuss if we expect the Steelers to make strides in all three of those statistical areas. I have started to look at the projected cash spending for the Steelers in 2025 so I go over my findings with Alex. We talk about how 2025 spending could be shaped by a hefty quarterback contract next offseason and possibly several contract extensions getting done prior to the start of the 2024 regular season. Are there any offensive linemen currently on the Steelers roster and deep on the depth chart that could surprise this summer? Alex and I talk about a few of them and their individual outlooks later in this show. Alex and I then move forward to discuss the next six players in my 90-In-30 series that has been running on the site since last week. The six players we discuss late in this show are FB Jack Colletto, OT Dylan Cook, WR Jacob Copeland, OG James Daniels, RB Daijun Edwards, and S DeShon Elliott.

For the second topic, we briefly touch on Brandon Aiyuk's recent meeting with the San Francisco 49ers that insiders say went well, and discuss if we could see any big trades happen this summer. We then move on to discussing the offensive tackle competition with Broderick Jones reportedly starting out on the left side at training camp. Will Troy Fautanu win the Week 1 job at right tackle over Dan Moore Jr.? Several of us at Steelers Depot did an "All-Time Draft" of Steelers players to make full rosters, so we talk about the first few picks we made.

In this Tuesday episode, Alex Kozora and I start by talking about more recent transactions made by the Pittsburgh Steelers, which included WR Jacob Copeland being signed, and DL Willington Previlon being claimed off waivers from the Atlanta Falcons. Alex and I take a look at the Steelers' cash spending so far this offseason and if the team will potentially spend $20 million or more ahead of the 2024 regular season getting underway. We discuss where such amounts of cash might be spent if indeed the team makes it to the $20 million more mark. We go over the latest concerning the outlook for Steelers' tackle situation for the start of training camp based on recent reports. We also briefly discuss former Steelers WR James Washington attempting a comeback.

June 21, 2024 - Season 14, Episode 147 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday episode, Alex Kozora and I start things off by talking about the recent transactions made by the Pittsburgh Steelers which included the waiving of S Trenton Thompson and the contract termination of WR Denzel Mims. We also discuss how the Steelers might go about filling those two open roster spots. With the Steelers now poised to take part in Hard Knocks in 2024 as part of the AFC North being covered in-season, I weigh in on my thoughts related to the topic and if I think it would serve as being a distraction to the team. Mike Greenberg of ESPN had an interesting hot take on GetUp! a few days ago that Alex and I decide to dissect completely. The New England Patriots finally got RB Rhamondre Stevenson signed to a contract extension on Thursday and on the heels of that happening, Alex and I discuss what that deal may or may not mean when it comes to the Steelers potentially signing RB Najee Harris to an extension this summer. Alex and I go over my contract prediction for Harris, if he will hold-in at training camp, and whether each of us would give him the proposed deal. Alex and I have a good debate about the process and decisions the Steelers have gone through this offseason as it relates to Harris and his fifth-year option for the 2025 season being declined. We also give our gut predictions on how we think Harris' contract situation will play out by the start of the 2024 regular season. With my annual 90-In-30 training camp series now underway as of Thursday, Alex and I go over the first six players that I have covered so far in those two posts. Those six players discussed are DT Montravius Adams, QB Kyle Allen, OL Spencer Anderson, DB Grayland Arnold, WR Calvin Austin III, and CB Anthony Averett.
