Season 16, Episode 153 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning show, Alex Kozora and I get right into discussing a possible training camp battle this summer between Keeanu Benton and Yahya Black for the starting nose tackle job in the team’s base defense. We discuss the play of both Benton and Black in 2025, and there could legitimately be a position battle between the two players this summer, especially if the former doesn’t wind up signing a contract extension soon.
Alex and I also discuss what Benton’s 2026 role with the team might ultimately be should he not be the starting nose tackle in the base defense to open the regular season. Additionally, we discuss whether the Steelers might be open to trading Benton just ahead of the regular season getting underway, should Black ultimately beat him out for a starting role this summer.
On the heels of Alex completing a big book study on Steelers’ new offensive line coach James Campen, we discuss a few of his recent findings from his research and the impact we expect him to have on his unit and several individual players.
With my annual 90 In 30: Steelers 2026 Training Camp Preview Series now underway as of Monday morning, Alex and I discuss the first set of three players that I wrote about, QB Drew Allar, OG Spencer Anderson, and DT Kyler Baugh. We discuss the outlook for each player throughout training camp and beyond.
This 84-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted in the recap above, and we make sure to answer a few listener emails we have received to close out this show.
