    The Terrible Podcast — Steelers-Browns Game Recap, Joey Porter Jr. Trade To Cowboys, Week 4 Picks & More

    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.

    The Terrible Podcast — Steelers Vs. Browns Preview, Bengals Game All-22 Review, Porter Jr. Decision & More

    September 30, 2026 - Season 17, Episode 29 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I discuss the Pittsburgh Steelers' Tuesday injury report ahead of the team's Week 4 Thursday night road game against the Cleveland Browns. We go over how all eyes will be on CB Jalen Ramsey (wrist) and CB Brandin Echols (concussion). We also discuss whether this will be the game that CB Joey Porter Jr. finally makes his debut in. On the heels of us finally getting through the all-22 tape from the Steelers' Week 3 home win against the Cincinnati Bengals, Alex and I give our thoughts on what we observed from the offense, defense, and special teams units. We move on and go over what Steelers HC Mike McCarthy had to say this past week during his two press conferences. We also discuss what kind of workload we should expect from RB Jaylen Warren on Thursday night following his great Week 3 game and with this being a short week. Will or should the Steelers make DT Derrick Harmon a team captain for the Thursday night game versus the Browns? We discuss that question after first talking about how he's played through the first three games of the 2026 regular season. With the Week 4 road game against the Browns coming up on Thursday night, Alex and I are joined by Scott Petrak, who covers Cleveland at Brownszone.com. Scott provides his insight into the 2026 Browns ahead of the game and answers several questions we have about Cleveland's offense and defense. At the end of our interview, Scott provides us with a final score prediction for Thursday's game in Cleveland. If you aren't already doing so, please follow Scott on X at @ScottPetrak and read his online work here as well. Following our interview with Scott, Alex and I provide our own full preview of the Steelers' game against the Browns. We close out that section of the show by giving our final score predictions. This 98-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above, and we end the show by answering several listener emails. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    The Terrible Podcast — Steelers-Bengals Game Recap, O-Line Changes, Porter Jr. Trade Chatter & More

    September 28, 2026 - Season 17, Episode 28 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' 30-27 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday to move to 2-1 on the season. Alex and I discuss the team's perceived health coming out of its third regular-season game in addition to going over the seven players who were inactive for that contest, one of which was once again CB Joey Porter Jr. The trade chatter surrounding Porter Jr. continued to pick up over the weekend so Alex and I go over the possibility of him being jettisoned to another team before Thursday night. The Steelers made several roster moves on Saturday with one of those being rookie OG Gennings Dunker being placed on the Reserve/Injured list. We also discuss the two elevations from the practice squad the team made on Saturday in addition to RB Travis Homer being signed to the 53-man roster. The Steelers offense really looked great against the Bengals, so we start on that side of the football as part of our game recap. We discuss OG Brock Hoffman and OT Max Iheanachor starting against the Bengals on the right side and how both players performed really well. RB Jaylen Warren had a fantastic game on Sunday as did QB Aaron Rodgers. We discuss the effectiveness of the running game against the Bengals and especially when using 12 personnel. The Steelers schemed up several great plays on Sunday with three of those resulting in touchdowns. As great as the offense played on Sunday, Alex and I discuss a few other plays that could have been made in the win. While the Steelers certainly played well enough defensively on Sunday to win, they still allowed the Bengals' offense to move quite easily throughout the game. Even so, we discuss how the defense got big plays from DT Cameron Heyward and DT Derrick Harmon in the fourth quarter to help secure a key AFC North victory. We talk about several snap counts players on the defense registered on Sunday against the Bengals and how the zone-heavy plan on that side of the football only yielded four explosive plays of 20 yards or longer. The Steelers' special teams play against the Bengals was just good enough on Sunday. Alex and I discuss the good, bad and ugly from Sunday’s game when it comes to that phase of the team. Can Steelers now move forward and avoid a letdown Thursday night when they play the Cleveland Browns on the road? We discuss how important it is for such a thing to not happen after such a huge win on Sunday against the Bengals. 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.
