The Terrible Podcast - Steelers Podcast via Steelers Depot

October 5, 2026 - Season 17, Episode 31 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the injury updates on the two Pittsburgh Steelers' players, DT Derrick Harmon and CB Jamel Dean, as the team heads into Week 5. With Harmon expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks, will rookie defensive linemen Gabriel Rubio and Kevin Jobity Jr. start seeing game action? Will one or both be active for the team's Week 5 game against the Indianapolis Colts? We address those two questions. The Steelers reportedly have a new practice squad player as of Monday morning, so we go over that bit of news. Alex and I also address the production of Steelers WR Michael Pittman Jr. through the first four games of the regular season and how it needs to increase over the course of the next three games. With the all-22 tape from the Steelers Thursday night road loss to the Cleveland Browns now fully digested by both of us, Alex and I provide some extended thoughts on the offensive, defensive and special teams units coming out of that game. Finally, Alex and I recap the state of the AFC North after the first four weeks of the 2026 regular season. This 79-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.

October 2, 2026 - Season 17, Episode 30 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the Pittsburgh Steelers' 27-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night. We start this show off with our overviews of the Steelers' Week 4 loss in addition to our initial thoughts on the trading of CB Joey Porter Jr. to the Dallas Cowboys late Wednesday night. Alex and I discuss the play of the Steelers offense, defense, and special teams on Thursday night and how all three of those units contributed to the road loss in Cleveland. Several plays are highlighted during our breakdown of the game, and we go over a few key stats from the contest as well. The Amazon Prime cameras showed quite a bit of frustration out of QB Aaron Rodgers, OLB T.J. Watt, and DT Cameron Heyward during the Thursday night game, so we address that topic for a bit. The Steelers sustained two notable injuries during their loss to the Browns, so we go over what is known about the statuses of DT Derrick Harmon and CB Jamel Dean as of Friday morning. We also address the Thursday night inactive list during this show in addition to the few transactions the team made Thursday afternoon. Later in this Friday morning show, Alex and I spend more time on Porter Jr. being traded to the Cowboys. We discuss what led to the trade, the compensation the Steelers received, and whether the team should have done more to sign Porter Jr. We wrap up this Friday show by picking the remaining Week 4 NFL games against the spreads. This 117-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. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.
