The Terrible Podcast — Talking Steelers Winning Bye Week, Tomlin's Monday Message, WR Trade Discussion & More Oct 06, 2025

Show notes

October 6, 2025 -

Season 16, Episode 33 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about how the Pittsburgh Steelers essentially won their bye week on Sunday thanks to the other three teams in the AFC North division all losing their respective games.

As part of our weekly housekeeping portion of the show on Monday, which is sponsored by Touring Plans, Alex and I dive even deeper into what happened in the AFC North division on Sunday and how Week 6 has the potential to be a great one for the Steelers when it comes the standings.

Alex and I go over the Steelers injury situation heading into Week 6 and the news of the team filling their open practice squad spot early Monday morning. We go over why the Steelers currently sit at 3-1 entering Week 6 and the areas that team needs to improve in on both sides of the football as they exit their bye week.

What should the message from Steelers HC Mike Tomlin be to the team on Monday? Alex and I attempt to answer that question. We also go over why the Cleveland Browns shouldn’t necessarily be considered an easy win for the Steelers this coming Sunday at home.

At this point, should the Steelers going 3-3, or worse, within the AFC North division be considered a huge disappointment? Is 3-3 good enough? Alex and I discuss that question and topic in the middle of this show.

Should the Steelers be entertaining thoughts of trading for another wide receiver right now, or at least before the annual deadline? We make a segment out of that question and pinpoint a few teams and wide receivers that make the most sense should the Steelers decide to go down that path of exploration.

This 82-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted, and we close things by answering a few emails that we recently received from listeners.

Show notes

October 3, 2025 - For Episode 1,674 this Friday afternoon, Alex Kozora says the NFL must change its intentional grounding scoring to give defenders credit for sacks, like the one Nick Herbig should've had against the Vikings. ⁠⁠steelersdepot.com

The Terrible Podcast — Talking 3-1 Steelers At Bye, Pat Meyer, Keeanu Benton, TE Involvement & More Oct 03, 2025

Show notes

October 3, 2025 -

Season 16, Episode 32 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about Cleveland Browns rookie QB Sheduer Sanders going full mime in a recent interview ahead of his team's Sunday morning game in England against the Minnesota Vikings.

The San Francisco 49ers beat the Los Angeles Rams Thursday night in an entertaining game that went into overtime and that leads to another rant by me on why there is no such thing as a trap game in the NFL.

The Steelers brought in five defensive backs for tryouts a few days ago, so we make sure to go over that list of players. We also go over the latest information concerning Steelers injured WR Calvin Austin III heading into the weekend.

A few more Steelers' coaches talked to the media since our Wednesday episode, so Alex and I go over some key talking points to come out of those sessions.

Alex and I discuss the job that Steelers offensive line coach Pat Meyer has done so far this season and if the team should have gone in a different direction when Arthur Smith was hired to be the offensive coordinator in 2024.

On the heels of the fine game that Steelers DT Keeanu Benton played on Sunday against the Vikings, Alex and I have a length conversation about his style of play and what he excels at.

The Steelers haven’t run a ton of offensive plays through the first four games of the 2025 regular season, so Alex and I expand on that topic for a little while.

With the Steelers now on their bye week, Alex and I go over several main takeaways we have concerning the team on both offense and defense. We discuss the key components to the Steelers being 3-1 at their bye. We also discuss the relatively low usage of the team's tight ends on offense so far through the first four regular season games.

With it being Friday, Alex and I make our picks against the spreads for all of the remaining Week 5 games in the NFL using the lines offered by MyBookie.ag, one of our show sponsors.

This 98-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted, and we close things by answering a few emails that we recently received from listeners.

The Terrible Podcast — Talking Steelers Vs Vikings All-22, Coach's Pressers, Passing Game & More Oct 01, 2025

Show notes

October 1, 2025 -

Season 16, Episode 31 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers as they enter their bye week following their win in Dublin, Ireland this past Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.

The Steelers lost rookie S Sebastian Castro off their practice squad to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Tuesday, so we make sure to hit that news at the beginning of this show. We also go over the Steelers' list of injured players that now includes WR Calvin Austin III and CB Jalen Ramsey and how the team might compensate for not having those two players right after the bye week.

Several members of the Steelers' coaching staff met with the media on Tuesday, so Alex and I pick out and discuss the meaningful talking points that came out of those several sessions. We talk about the overarching questions from Tuesday that centered around the offense’s yards after the catch totals and short passing game through the first four games of the 2025 regular season.

Alex and I look at several passing game stats related to the Steelers' offense through four games and how they share some similarities with what the Kansas City Chiefs did in 2024 on that side of the football. Is a short passing game with a high percentage of YAC sustainable for the Steelers' offense moving forward and especially with that unit only registering 10 explosive plays through four games? We discuss all of that in the middle of this show.

We move on to discuss how QB Aaron Rodgers is fitting in with the Steelers so far and how he has handled himself as the team enters their bye week. We also discuss the role and health of rookie QB Will Howard while he is on the Reserve/Injured list.

With the All-22 tape from the Week 4 game against the Vikings now fully digested, Alex and I both deliver our additional thoughts from the Steelers' Sunday win in Ireland when it comes to the offense, defense, and special teams. We take a hard look at the Steelers' personnel usage, offensive running scheme, and much more in this segment. We also go over what we viewed as positives and negatives on the defensive side of the football on Sunday against the Vikings.

Alex and I make sure to hit on the point of the Steelers being atop the AFC North through Week 4 and how the other three teams in the division have a much bleaker outlook for the near future due to injuries and other situations. We make sure to hit on the quarterback switch the Cleveland Browns are making this week.

This 104-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted, and we close things by answering a few emails that we recently received from listeners.
