August 9, 2024 - Season 15, Episode 8 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday episode, Alex Kozora and I dive into previewing the first preseason game of 2024 for the Pittsburgh Steelers that will take tonight at Acrisure Stadium against the Houston Texans. Alex and I go over the list of players who will sit out Friday night and others that might be deemed questionable to play. We also go over key things that Steelers HC Mike Tomlin said about the first preseason game on Wednesday during his most recent press conference. Alex and I go over what we expect to see Friday night in terms of positional groups and rotations and that includes the offensive line units. We talk some about the key things we'll be looking for out of QB Justin Fields against the Texans. There is an extensive list of players that Alex and I are excited to see play Friday night and so we go recap why with each of them. We also talk about watching the new kickoff rule in action Friday night. Other special teams notes are covered during this episode as well. After fully previewing the Friday night preseason game against the Texans, Alex and I then update the latest concerning the Steelers possibly trading for San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk. We go over the speculation that three teams could be in play when it comes to the Steelers maybe acquiring Aiyuk. We also talk about what a new contract might look like for Aiyuk should he ultimately land in Pittsburgh. Would an acquisition of Aiyuk impact the Steelers chances of signing WR George Pickens to an extension next offseason? We briefly discuss that question a lot of people seem to have later in this show. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 95-minute episode, and we close things out by answering a few emails that we recently received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.
