May 25, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 140 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the forthcoming week for the Pittsburgh Steelers that will include their second set of OTA practices. We go over this week's OTA schedule and how we are expected to hear from several of the team's positional coaches on Wednesday. On the heels of a few recent comments made by Steelers OT Dylan Cook, Alex and I have a lengthy discussion about his outlook for the 2026 season. We discuss the possibility of Cook opening the 2026 regular season as the starting right tackle and how this is a big upcoming season for him as it relates to his future in the NFL and especially when it comes to potential earnings. In the middle of this Monday show, Alex and I look back at the history that Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers has had with rookie wide receivers and especially when it comes to his time with the Green Bay Packers. We go over the reception stats of several wide receivers when they played with Rodgers in Green Bay as rookies. After discuss Rodgers's history with rookie wide receivers, Alex and I discuss what that might mean for Steelers rookie WR Germie Bernard in 2026. We discuss the possibility of Bernard having rookie season much like the one that WR Randall Cobb had in 2011 with the Packers. As part of this discussion, Alex and I set and over/under line for Bernard when it comes to his rookie 2026 reception total. Alex recently wrote about four statistical areas that the Steelers’ defense must improve in when it comes to the 2026 season so we discuss all of those and how each could make substantial impacts. Later in this show, Alex and I discuss the Steelers when it comes to their history of adding players to their offseason roster after mandatory minicamp that wind up ultimately making the 53-man roster. We go over a few position groups that probably best stand a chance for a similar post mandatory minicamp outcome. This 79-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we make sure to answer a few listener emails we have received to close out this show. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.
