Season 15, Episode 151 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the weekend passing of FedEx founder Fred Smith, the father of Pittsburgh Steelers OC Arthur Smith.

Alex and I briefly retouch on the need for the 2025 Steelers to have faster starts on both offense and defense following a few social media posts over the weekend by NFL stats specialist Warren Sharp.

On the heels of my annual 90 In 30 series getting underway over the weekend, Alex and I go over the first nine players that I have covered. That means that we both take an in-depth look at T Calvin Anderson, G Spencer Anderson, WR Calvin Austin III, DT Keeanu Benton, CB Beanie Bishop Jr., DT Yahya Black, K Chris Boswell, G Nick Broeker, and ILB Carson Bruener ahead of training camp getting underway next month.

We go over our expectations for the nine players to start this series and much more. We spend a little time in this show speculating what the top three offensive line pairings will ultimately be once training camp gets underway.

This 83-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap. We end this show by answering several emails we received from listeners of the show.

Season 15, Episode 150 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers cutting ties with veteran RB Jonathan Ward on Thursday. We go over the decision to release Ward, where that leaves the Steelers running back room, and what it means for a few others in that position group as far as potential goes the rest of the offseason.

There's nothing new to report on the contract details for S DeShon Elliott, who was signed to a two-year extension earlier this week. We get that tidbit out of the way early in this show.

The Baltimore Ravens signed veteran CB Jaire Alexander to a one-year contract this week, so Alex and I discuss that transaction. We talk about the contract details related to Alexander and why he likely decided to sign with Baltimore. We discuss whether the Steelers likely had any interest in signing Alexander and what a contract likely would have needed to look like for that to even happen.

With there being quite a bit of buzz this week concerning the Steelers possible trading for veteran Miami Dolphins CB Jalen Ramsey, Alex and I decide to address that topic quite extensively during this show. We go over Ramsey's contract, the cost to acquire him via a trade and much more. We look at the probability and plausibility concerning the likelihood the Steelers would ultimately trade for Ramsey.

Alex has some interesting stats concerning the potential usage of new Steelers RB Kenneth Gainwell in 2025, so we go over that nice pull by him. Alex and I also dive deep into the historical nature of the Steelers scoring a touchdown on their opening offensive possession in Week One games.

This 86-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap. We end this show by answering several emails we received from listeners of the show.

Season 15, Episode 149 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers signing S DeShon Elliott to a two-year contract extension this week. We go over what is known about that extension so far, the probable salary cap numbers, associated with it, and whether the team did the right thing when it comes to giving him the new deal.

With Elliott now being finalized, Alex and I look at three players currently under contract and that signed new deals this offseason that could potentially wind up having their deals extended next offseason. The main three players discussed in this segment are CB Brandin Echols, ILB Malik Harrison, and T Calvin Anderson.

Would the Steelers now offer WR Calvin Austin III the same type of extension they signed Elliott to? Would Austin even seriously consider such an offer if given it? We discuss those two questions quite a bit.

Recently, Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network made some interesting comments about the future of Steelers HC Mike Tomlin in Pittsburgh. We attempt to get to the bottom of what Pelissero said and then attempt to speculate how, when, and why Tomlin's tenure with the Steelers will ultimately come to an end.

Later in this show, Alex over all of the positional groups on defense and give our thoughts on those relative to being improved or not versus this time last year. We express our concerns about the Steelers’ defensive line depth ahead of training camp getting underway.

This 91-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap. We end this show by answering several emails we received from listeners of the show.
