Summary

January 3, 2024 - Season 14, Episode 71 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday show, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett responding on Tuesday to rumors that he chose against being the team's backup quarterback against the Seattle Seahawks. We parse a lot of what Pickett and HC Mike Tomlin said these last few days when it comes to the team’s quarterback position in Week 17. The initial injury report for Week 18 was released by the Steelers on Tuesday so Alex and I make sure to cover that topic. We also discuss who will referee the Week 18 game against the Baltimore Ravens. Will the Ravens rest a ton of their primary players against the Steelers on Saturday? We discuss that topic a little more in this show as well. Former Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger made a few comments about the quarterback position in Pittsburgh during his most recent podcast, so we provide a recap of that. We specifically make sure to recap what Roethlisberger said about his former teammate, QB Mason Rudolph, during his recent episode. Steelers OLB T.J. Watt was voted team MVP on Tuesday so we go over that news. We also discuss which players might wind up winning the remaining team awards that should be announced soon. What will the future past this season look like for Steelers running backs Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren when it comes to their contract situations? Alex and I attempt to provide a look ahead when it comes to that question. Will the team pick up the fifth-year option on Harris? Might they extend him before making that decision? We discuss. After watching the all-22 from the Steelers Week 17 win against the Seahawks, Alex and I chime in with some additional thoughts on that game. We talk about both sides of the ball, personnel used, player performances, individual plays, stats and more in this weekly segment. Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 93-minute episode as well, and we finish it by answering several listener questions. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

0:44.3	4.30 against Baltimore big game obviously for the Pittsburgh Steelers much less
0:48.8	so for the Ravens Dave how you doing? I am doing good to start off this new year, and I think what, this is our second show now of the new year, right?
0:58.8	We had one on New Year's day, an exciting week at hand, obviously playoff possibilities and a must, you know,
1:08.0	I guess not technically a must win game for the Steelers when it comes to the fifth and final scenario that could get them in but I think it would behoothe them to win this game
1:19.1	It'll be interesting to see how the Ravens end up handling this. I think we both agree that we'd be surprised if they don't sit several starters, but things can obviously change. I think Harball will probably talk to the media today. Maybe he'll shed a little bit of light on that. Probably be writing about that later on today as well too. But overall, ready to get this show started. We got a lot to talk about. We do and despite Mason

1:47.2	right now the news is Kenny Pickett who did speak with the media on Tuesday
1:51.7	and it missed all the rumors about him refusing to be the backup
1:56.2	or however you want to frame or couch those reports and speculation that came out early in the
2:02.0	weak picket, very strongly denying it saying there was no truth to it.
2:06.7	There was no discussion about picket be the number two.
2:09.5	If he was healthy he was going to start, which is an interesting comment in itself but obviously
2:14.0	it's still a little weird but but to the point picket is denying the report or
2:20.3	accusation or thought he refused to be anything.
2:23.4	He did whatever the team told him to do is his claim and standpoint.
2:27.8	Yeah, and that's why we kind of tabled that.
2:31.0	We mentioned it, but we said, let's see how this plays out kind of knowing
2:34.8	that Pickett would more than likely address the media at some point this week
2:38.6	with this being a short week both the quarterbacks talked Mason Rudolph and Kenny Picket on Tuesday there and
