Season 16, Episode 161 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the latest Pittsburgh Steelers news, and that includes the recent topic of retired NFL DT Aaron Donald working this offseason with new S Jaquan Brisker.

ESPN's annual offseason position rankings continue rolling out based on polls conducted with NFL coaches, scouts, and executives so we discuss Steelers DT Cameron Heyward slotting outside the top 10 at his position. We discuss whether Heyward was slighted in this year's defensive tackle rankings and we look back at where he ranked a year ago in such rankings.

The Friday ESPN rankings centered around the tight end position, so we go over Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth not making the top 10. As part of that discussion, Alex and I discuss the weight that TE Darnell Washington has dropped this offseason and if that should be a concern when it comes to his run blocking abilities.

Alex recently wrote about the Steelers 2026 candidates for the upback position on the punting team, so we go over the list of players from that post. We also attempt to whittle down his list to four primary and legitimate candidates for that job opening this summer.

After thoroughly discussing the latest topical subjects and news concerning the Steelers, Alex and I talk in-depth about six more players in my annual 90-in-30 training camp preview series.

The six players we discuss are RB Kaleb Johnson, P Cameron Johnston, OT Broderick Jones, OL Steven Jones, DT Sebastian Joseph-Day, and CB Donte Kent. We give the summer outlook for each player and the chances a few of them have at sticking in Pittsburgh once the preseason ends.

This 104-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we end this podcast by answering a few questions we received via email from listeners.

ESPN's annual offseason position rankings are now rolling out based on polls conducted with NFL teams so with that, we discuss Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. not being ranked in the top ten of the cornerbacks. We discuss whether Porter was slighted some in the rankings and any bearing it might have on how much he might ultimately get paid this summer when it comes to a possible contract extension.

We discuss Porter's strengths and weaknesses at this point of his NFL career in addition to going over what former Steelers CB Darius Slay recently said about his former teammate. We also make sure to highlight what former Steelers CB Ike Taylor had to say about Slay's Tuesday evaluation of Porter.

Alex recently posted his study on the size of NFL coaching staffs, so we discuss his findings and where the Steelers now rank leaguewide this offseason. We also discuss whether coaching staff sizes correlate to anything at all when it comes to team success.

After thoroughly discussing the latest topical subjects and news concerning the Steelers, Alex and I talk in-depth about six more players in my annual 90-in-30 training camp preview series.

The six players we discuss in this show are RB Travis Homer, QB Will Howard, WR Max Hurleman, OT Max Iheanachor, CB D'Shawn Jamison, and DT Kevin Jobity Jr. We give the summer outlook for each player and the chances a few of them have at sticking in Pittsburgh once the preseason ends.
