Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Depot Dive - Episode 107 - July 9, 2026
Q: Joe from Oregon asks whether Darnell Washington will breakout this year and how the team might use him.
The hosts discuss McCarthy's potential focus on Washington in the red zone and acknowledge Washington's weight changes and developmental trajectory as key factors; they see a reasonable chance for a breakout if his weight and conditioning improve and if targeted usage increases.
Steelers Depot Youtube Live Stream Q & A Podcast - June 15, 2026
Q: Any further word on why the special teams coach was let go or any potential replacement?
There was no official word beyond noting workplace misconduct and that a replacement would be announced when the right candidate is identified; the panel expects to learn the name when it's hired, likely before training camp begins.
The Terrible Podcast – Steelers Roster Overview, D-Line Competition, Rodgers Discussion, 90-In-30 Series, & More
Q: Do you think Dowdle or Warren will lead the backfield this season, and how will the carries be split?
Dowdle is expected to be the lead back with Warren handling secondary duties and third-down duties due to his receiving and pass-protection ability. The split could be around 60-40 in Dowdle's favor, with Warren expanding his role on third downs and as a hammer between the tackles in certain game plans.
The Terrible Podcast – Steelers Roster Overview, D-Line Competition, Rodgers Discussion, 90-In-30 Series, & More
Q: What are your thoughts on the Rodgers signing and its impact on the roster and ceiling for this season?
Rodgers provides veteran stability and a high-floor option, but his mobility and past peak performance suggest he may not elevate the team to perennial Super Bowl status. The quarterback play will limit the ceiling, though surrounding talent and system familiarity with McCarthy should help the run game and offense to be more efficient than last year.
The Depot Dive - Episode 104 - June 18, 2026
Q: Hey guys, where realistically should the defense be aiming to improve in 2026 in terms of stats like net yards per attempt or other meaningful metrics?
The hosts suggest a combination of more sacks, better third-down efficiency, and improved run defense as the most impactful areas, arguing that a more aggressive inside linebacker blitz package and improved communication could raise overall efficiency and shorten opponents' drives.
