The Terrible Podcast - Talking Play-action Study Of Steelers' New QBs, TD Distribution, AH Next Step

July 5, 2024 -
Season 14, Episode 151 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday episode, Alex Kozora and I start by talking about a recent play-action stats study that I completed which focused on the two-year history of new Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.
Alex and I go deep into our expectations for the Steelers’ offense in 2024 when it comes to play-action usage and that should be favorable for the team’s two new quarterbacks.
Alex recently finished an outlook for passing touchdown distribution in 2024 with Arthur Smith now installed as the team’s new offensive coordinator so we get some mileage out of that discussion.
What does Steelers OLB Alex Highsmith need to work on in 2024? Alex and I have a long discussion about him and what we expect the Steelers’ sack output to be in 2024. We also have brief discussion about pressures versus sacks.
Alex and I then discuss the next nine players in my 90-In-30 series that has been running on the site for the last few weeks. The nine players we discussed late in this show are CB Thomas Graham Jr., OT Devery Hamilton, OL Anderson Hardy, RB Najee Harris, OL Nate Herbig, OLB Nick Herbig, DT Cameron Heyward, TE/FB Connor Heyward, and Highsmith.
Several other minor topics not noted are also discussed in this 91-minute episode, and we end it by answering several questions from listeners that we have received since Tuesday.

So. Fields had better 23 numbers...higher jump from 22 to 23...and they keep talking about Russel. Check

[@steelermike5219]

Russ can’t help but take sacks because he’s short and has to drift in the pocket which causes him to take sack. Fields he doesn’t really have an excuse going into year 4

Alex you can refresh your signal on your own and should do it once a week just simply rebooting your entire system weekly makes huge difference😊😊

[@steelermike5219]

I’d say a lot of QBs are better with play action
