The Terrible Podcast - Steelers Podcast via Steelers Depot

October 26, 2026 -

Season 17, Episode 40 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers' 16-10 road win in Paris over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday to move to 5-2 on the season.

Alex and I discuss Pittsburgh's health coming out of its seventh regular-season game. We also discuss the Saturday transactions made by the team along with the pregame inactive list. The Steelers did not elevate WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling for Sunday's game, so we discuss that topic briefly.

The AFC North division remains very tight entering Week 8 and that makes the Steelers' next two games against the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals super important. We discuss those topics early in this show.

After going over a wide-angle look at the Steelers' Sunday win, Alex and I focus on the play on the offensive side of the football against the Saints. We discuss the play in the trenches by Pittsburgh on Sunday and how it fueled the victory. OC Zach Frazier played really well on Sunday and it's time he gets a lot more recognition for the season that he's having.

Alex and I spend the middle of this show talking about the play from the Steelers' offense, defense, and special teams against the Saints. We go over the effective running game on offense, the great run defense, the passing yards allowed, key stats for all units, and much more.

Will the Steelers offense ever be able to push the football down the field regularly and effectively? Will the Steelers pass defense hold up well against better and more experienced quarterback play moving forward? Alex and I address those questions during this show.

This 85-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we end this show by answering several emails we received from listeners.

Season 17, Episode 39 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I discuss the Pittsburgh Steelers' Friday injury report ahead of the team's Week 7 road game against the New Orleans Saints.

We go over the Steelers placing DT Sebastian Joseph-Day on the Reserve/Injured list on Thursday and how that will likely result in rookie DT Kevin Jobity Jr. making his NFL debut against the Saints.

The Steelers are likely to activate S DeShon Elliott from the Reserve/Injured list on Saturday, so we discuss what his possible return means to the defense. We also go over what the bulk of the Steelers' Sunday inactive list is likely to look like and what the possible Saturday transactions are likely to be.

The Steelers arrived in Paris on Friday and they have since held their first media sessions in France. We discuss what QB Aaron Rodgers had to say about the team deciding to travel late in the week and how he would have preferred an early-week arrival.

With the Week 7 road game in Paris against the Saints coming up on Sunday morning, Alex and I provide our full preview of it. We look at the Saints’ offense and defense and what each side of the football does well. We also discuss how both units are mediocre overall.

Can the Steelers’ offense run the football effectively on the Saints’ defense? Can the Steelers’ defense get off the field on third downs against the Saints’ offense? We address both of those questions during this show.

With the rest of Week 7 now close, Alex and I pick the remaining games against the spread. We also provide our final score predictions for the Steelers-Saints game.

This 75-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above, and we end the show by answering several listener emails.

Season 17, Episode 38 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I discuss the Pittsburgh Steelers signing WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their practice squad and what that might mean for the offense moving forward. Will Valdes-Scantling play on Sunday in Paris against the New Orleans Saints? If he does play, how many snaps is he likely to get? We address both of those questions early in this show.

Does the return of Valdes-Scantling now decrease the chances of the Steelers trading for a wide receiver ahead of the NFL deadline a few weeks from? Alex and I address that question as part of our early-show conversations.

The Steelers will leave for Paris on Thursday, so Alex and I discuss their itinerary and plans for the rest of the week. We also go all of the main talking points from Steelers HC Mike McCarthy from his Monday press conference and that includes his decision on not leaving for Paris until Thursday evening.

The Steelers three coordinators, Danny Crossman, Brian Angelichio, and Patrick Graham, all talked to the media on Monday, so we go over the pertinent things that each had to say during their respective press conferences.

Will S DeShon Elliott return from the Reserve/Injured list on Saturday and then play on Sunday against the Saints in Paris? Alex and I attempt to get a read on that question during this show.

After finally getting through the All-22 tape from the Steelers' Week 6 road win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Alex and I give our thoughts on what we observed from the offense, defense and special teams units.

This 80-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above, and we end the show by answering several listener emails.
