Summary

February 2, 2024 - Season 14, Episode 85 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday show, Alex Kozora and I get right to some coaching staff changes around the NFL that have taken place with the emphasis of that being on AFC North teams and teams on the 2024 schedule. With Arthur Smith now poised to officially be named the Steelers new offensive coordinator, Alex and I go over some key pass and running stats related to his five previous seasons in the NFL with the Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons. We talk about the correlation between Smith having a strong running game for his passing game to work and why we believe the Steelers' running game needs to be well within the top 10 in 2024 for the quarterback play to show improvement. While the outside zone running scheme is not new to Pittsburgh, the team's use of it in 2023 was pretty much boom or bust. Alex and I go over some outside zone stats from 2023 related to the Steelers. Will center be a primary focus for the Steelers early in the 2024 NFL Draft? Alex and I discuss that position and briefly touch on the perceived top three center prospects in this year's draft class. We also discuss the Steelers’ two biggest positional needs on offense this offseason. We also discuss what type of wide receiver the Steelers might address during the offseason and Alex has one player in mind that played for Smith in Atlanta last season. Coming out of the Senior Bowl week there is one defensive lineman prospect that has our attention entering the weekend. We tell you who that player is and why we think the steelers will have serious interest in him during the pre-draft process. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 117-minute episode and we also make sure to read and answer several listener emails to close this show out. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.
