Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' free agent signing of Jamel Dean pairs well with Joey Porter Jr. in that both were among the top three cornerbacks in NFL passer rating allowed. Does that make them the best cornerback duo in the NFL? Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders discuss the upsides both cornerbacks bring to each other in the Steelers' defense as two shutdown man coverage corners who can take away top receivers on a regular basis. Can they be pillars who prop up the rest of the defense? Christopher and Alan discuss the makeup of the defense and how Porter and Dean could support Jalen Ramsey in the secondary. But is free safety too big of a problem to overlook? Also, from the Locked on Steelers call-in line, is the Steelers' depth chart ready to take on injuries better than they have in recent years? Depth pieces like Sebastian Joseph-Day, Brandin Echols, Nick Herbig and Broderick Jones all provide help to positions could be essential to the Steelers surviving the long and grueling NFL season.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers need to put together a new plan to cover the middle of the field under defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, and Jalen Ramsey is a big key for it. Christopher Carter goes over the Steelers' top coverage players in the middle of the field between Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr., Jaquan Brisker, Patrick Queen, Payton Wilson and Brandin Echols to find who the best player. But after how they performed last year, Ramsey clearly is the player the Steelers need to design around the middle of the field while Porter and Jamel Dean take away the outside receivers and make the lives of quarterbacks harder when they face the Steelers' defense. Also, Chris takes your questions on the Locked on Steelers call-in line. Should the Steelers keep an eye on Texans QB CJ Stroud as a future option of the Texans don't want to pay him? Chris looks at what that might do for Omar Khan's NFL Draft plans, as well as what they might do with young quarterbacks Will Howard and Drew Allar if they added another veteran quarterback in the mix.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers look to have a completely new offense under Mike McCarthy that will prioritize first down passing success. That's why Michael Pittman Jr. plays a huge role in their plans to change. Christopher Carter explains how Pittman's efficiency at getting open early and winning on quick and short passes will play a big role in McCarthy's new offense with Aaron Rodgers to make the Steelers a more modernized offense that prioritizes successful passing on first down to open up more opportunities. Can that be the factor that provides a balanced offense with DK Metcalf, Jaylen Warren, Rico Dowdle, Pat Freiermuth, Germie Bernard and Darnell Washington? Also, Chris takes your calls on the Locked on Steelers podcast call-in line. Should the Steelers consider trading Keeanu Benton? How does Omar Khan work the market to find the right trade opportunities? And are the Steelers preparing rookie cornerback Daylen Everette for a big role in the secondary?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' offense under Mike McCarthy is going to make big changes, and Christopher Carter sees a big difference coming in their first down passing attack. Chris breaks down how McCarthy's offense historically pass more often and more efficiently than recent Steelers offenses have, and why that might work with Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Germie Bernard and Pat Freiermuth. The reason ties to McCarthy's plan to target the offense averaging 55 touches per game, and that less being more about possessing the football for longer drives, throwing on early downs to create shorter down and distances, and less about running the football. Could this be the key the Steelers need to unlock a new day for their offense?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been rebuilding under GM Omar Khan's leadership in recent years. But who are the players they've drafted who might be the hardest to keep from free agency? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh explore that question with a hard look at the Steelers' roster and salary cap payments for the next few years. While the Steelers have paid Nick Herbig and Darnell Washington, could Keeanu Benton and Payton Wilson be the hardest draft picks to keep on the team? Other draft picks like Joey Porter Jr., Zach Frazier, Troy Fautanu and Mason McCormick could be players who the Steelers lock in, but Khan may have some tough decisions soon. Also, Chris and Nick answer a question from the Locked on Steelers' call-in line about who the top young development players are on the roster who aren't obvious standouts right now. Despite the heavy draft investments into the offense of late, it's the defensive players who might stand the best chance to be diamonds found in the rough like Yahya Black, Jack Sawyer, Daylen Everette, Carson Bruener and Robert Spears-Jennings.
