Season 16, Episode 45 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right into our overarching thoughts on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 9 Sunday home win against the Indianapolis Colts.
In our weekly housekeeping portion of this Monday show, which is sponsored by the fine folks at TouringPlans.com, Alex and I talk about the Sunday inactive list, the few injuries sustained by the Steelers in their 27-20 win against the Colts, and the several transactions the team has made since our Friday show.
The Steelers played extremely well defensively against the Colts as they rebounded following the unit’s poor Week 8 showing against the Green Bay Packers. Because of the stellar performance by that unit, Alex and I start on that side of the football.
Alex and I go over the schematic and personnel changes the Steelers made on defense against the Colts that resulted in the unit registering five takeaways and five sacks of Colts QB Daniel Jones. We discuss the several big plays made by the defense on Sunday and go over some key stats when it comes to the scheme used. While the Steelers’ defense was far from perfect on Sunday, the good clearly made a difference in the game.
Will the Steelers continue to use Jalen Ramsey and Kyle Dugger as their two starting safeties? We discuss that possibility and go over several snap counts on that side of the football.
After thoroughly breaking down the play of the Steelers’ defense on Sunday, Alex and I discuss the good, bad, and ugly from the offense against the Colts. That unit was able to produce 24 points off turnovers, even without registering any explosive plays of 20 yards or longer. We talk about how the offense was clunky overall on Sunday but managed to produce three touchdowns just the same.
WR Roman Wilson fumbled away the football late in Sunday’s game, so we discuss that play. We also discuss some key metrics related to Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers’ play against the Colts. We make sure to highlight the play of TE Darnell Washington, WR Calvin Austin III, and RB Kenneth Gainwell during this show.
The Steelers’ special teams units performed well on Sunday, so Alex and I discuss the contributions in that phase of the game. We also break down the brilliant decision that special teams coordinator Danny Smith made in the fourth quarter as part of a kickoff.
Ramsey held court with the team on Saturday night, according to Rodgers, so we discuss that little tidbit later in this show.
With the annual NFL trade deadline now upon us, Alex and I look at the possibility and probability related to the Steelers trading for a wide receiver. Could Washington Commanders WR Deebo Samuel be an underrated trade option for the Steelers? What other positions might the Steelers consider trading for other than wide receiver? We attempt to answer those questions later in this show.
Did the Steelers win convincing enough on Sunday? Alex and I discuss the flawed question and narrative that is making the rounds on Monday morning.
This 103-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted and we wrap things up by answering several emails we received from listeners.
