The Depot Dive - Episode 82 - December 5, 2025

Dec. 5 – Ep. 82: For this episode of The Depot Dive, Ross McCorkle and Joe Clark get right into the biggest topic of the week, and that's the future of Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin. Do we agree with the calls to fire him, and is there an alternate path forward where he remains the coach with hope for a better future? Next, we discuss the state of the Steelers' offense and whether or not it is fixable. We discuss Pat Freiermuth continuing to be an afterthought and the addition of Adam Thielen, and whether he can make a real impact. For the last topic, we preview the Steelers' matchup against the Ravens and lay out what's at stake for both teams in this game. We also discuss how there couldn't be a worse setup to try to overcome the rushing performance the Ravens had against the Steelers in the playoffs last year. To end the show, we answer a listener question about play-action passing, and why it's not working in Pittsburgh.
