The Terrible Podcast – Porter Jr.’s ESPN Ranking, Coaching Staff Size Study, Six More 90-In-30 Series Players & More

July 8, 2026 - Season 16, Episode 160 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing the latest relevant news concerning the Pittsburgh Steelers and that includes the Tuesday announcement that all three of the team's preseason games this year will be shown live on the NFL Network. ESPN's annual offseason position rankings are now rolling out based on polls conducted with NFL teams so with that, we discuss Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. not being ranked in the top ten of the cornerbacks. We discuss whether Porter was slighted some in the rankings and any bearing it might have on how much he might ultimately get paid this summer when it comes to a possible contract extension. We discuss Porter's strengths and weaknesses at this point of his NFL career in addition to going over what former Steelers CB Darius Slay recently said about his former teammate. We also make sure to highlight what former Steelers CB Ike Taylor had to say about Slay's Tuesday evaluation of Porter. Alex recently posted his study on the size of NFL coaching staffs, so we discuss his findings and where the Steelers now rank leaguewide this offseason. We also discuss whether coaching staff sizes correlate to anything at all when it comes to team success. After thoroughly discussing the latest topical subjects and news concerning the Steelers, Alex and I talk in-depth about six more players in my annual 90-in-30 training camp preview series. The six players we discuss in this show are RB Travis Homer, QB Will Howard, WR Max Hurleman, OT Max Iheanachor, CB D'Shawn Jamison, and DT Kevin Jobity Jr. We give the summer outlook for each player and the chances a few of them have at sticking in Pittsburgh once the preseason ends. This 107-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above and we end this podcast by answering a few questions we received via email from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.
