The Terrible Podcast – Bills Preseason Game Recap, McCarthy Postgame Comments, Metcalf Restructure & More

Season 17, Episode 15 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the preseason finale that the Pittsburgh Steelers played Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills. We go over several players sitting out the game in addition to giving our initial overviews and main takeaways from the Steelers’ 28-27 road loss to the Bills.

The Steelers restructured WR DK Metcalf’s contract since our last show, so Alex and I go over the details related to that transaction. We also discuss if the Metcalf restructure is any sort of sign that the team will soon sign CB Joey Porter Jr. to a contract extension and why that is.

Steelers HC Mike McCarthy gave us a few things to talk about during his Thursday night postgame press conference, so Alex and I go over those replies. We obviously focus on what McCarthy said about the possibility of all four quarterbacks ultimately making the 53-man roster come Sunday night.

Could the head injury that QB Will Howard sustained Thursday night lead to him being placed on the Reserve/Injured list to start the season? We go over the plausibility of that happening and whether we think it ultimately will.

Are DT Sebastian Joseph-Day and S Jaquan Brisker each a candidate to start the regular season on the Reserve/Injured list? We entertain that question during this show as well.

As usual, Alex and I give our initial thoughts on the play of several Steelers in the loss to the Bills. We start with Howard and Allar’s quarterback play and go from there. We discuss all of the offensive position groups and that includes the play of rookie OT Max Iheanachor. Has he given himself a chance at being the Week 1 starting right tackle? We attempt to answer that question.

Alex and I also go over the performance of several players on the defensive side of the football from Thursday night. We go over a few roster-spot battles on defense. We also talk about some special teams play from Thursday night and we make sure to highlight Kaden Wetjen’s punt return for a touchdown.

The Steelers need to set their initial 53-man roster by 6 PM/ET Sunday so ahead of that happening, Alex and I give previews of what our final predictions will look like.

We discuss how several final roster spots could go in various directions and especially if any players go to the Reserve/Injured list, which could put a fly in the prediction ointment.

Alex and I talk a little bit more about the latest on Joey Porter Jr. and his contract negotiations ahead of the Steelers having until Sunday evening to remove him from the Active/PUP list.

This 118-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we make sure to answer several listener emails to close out this show.
