Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers offense sputters in a 20-3 blowout loss to the New England Patriots, raising urgent questions about their offensive line, play-calling, and skill player execution. Despite strong performances from T.J. Watt, Patrick Queen, and the linebacker corps, Aaron Rodgers faced relentless pressure, DK Metcalf struggled with drops, and the run game managed just 3.5 yards per play. Can Mike McCarthy reignite the Steelers’ attack before it’s too late?
Ben Bobick, Wayne Gandy and Chris Carter break down the Steelers’ abysmal offensive output, highlighting key moments like DK Metcalf’s costly mistakes and glaring issues along the O-line. Discussion spotlights the need for lineup changes and whether the current effort level matches Pittsburgh’s proud tradition. Looking ahead, the crew debates how the Steelers can regroup ahead of a pivotal AFC North clash against the Cincinnati Bengals and what Joey Porter Jr.'s status could mean for containing Ja’Marr Chase.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.
The Pittsburgh Steelers were mollywhopped by the New England Patriots 20-3, where Mike McCarthy's team looked unprepared, soft, beaten and bullied. Christopher Carter gives his reaction to the game, and what part of McCarthy's plan for the season cost the Steelers in this lost the most. Physicality was an element of training camp Chris saw was missing all summer, and that carried over into the preseason when the Steelers didn't work on their rushing offense nearly enough. That showed when the Steelers couldn't run the ball against the Patriots, and then allowed Mike Vrabel's defense to tee off on Aaron Rodgers with four sacks, a defensive touchdown, and complete domination of the Steelers' offense. Could this have been avoided?
Chris also addresses how McCarthy can fix those problems, with a stronger dedication from the Steelers to being a more physical team in how they run the ball and charge the offensive line to be the tough unit it was drafted and developed to be in recent years. Another, is to target the players who will deliver better than DK Metcalf's drops, like Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington. Meanwhile the defense does look like a strong unit that can create turnovers, like it did when Patrick Queen intercepted Drake Maye.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV.
The Pittsburgh Steelers face the New England Patriots, a rested team coming off a disappointing loss where Drake Maye threw three bad interceptions. Christopher Carter and Jenna Harner explain what Patrick Graham's plan did well last week to force multiple turnovers, and how they can do that again when they play the Patriots. Can the defense recreate their turnover party they had against the Patriots last season?
Also, Chris and Jenna give you their week two NFL picks. Can Aaron Rodgers capitalize on big plays this week with the Patriots' star cornerback Christian Gonzalez leading their defense? Mike McCarthy has to show the merits to his offensive plan through results on the field.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Nick Cattle of the Locked on Patriots podcast.
The Pittsburgh Steelers look to go 2-0 against the New England Patriots Sunday, but they face a tougher test with MVP candidate Drake Maye. Christopher Carter and Nick Cattle discuss the top matchups to look for Sunday, and why Drake Maye could be the key to success for both teams. Can the Steelers pressure Maye enough to keep him uncomfortable with the success of T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith last week?
Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers looked like he still had the arm of a dangerous quarterback. But can DK Metcalf bounce back from a bad performance against one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL in Christian Gonzalez? And can the Steelers' offensive line stand up to the Patriots' front led by Milton Williams?

Are the Pittsburgh Steelers legitimate AFC contenders, or did T.J. Watt cover up their biggest problems in Week 1?
On this edition of the Locked On Steelers Squad Show, award-winning sports broadcaster and play-by-play announcer Tyler Feldman is joined by 15-year NFL veteran and former Steelers offensive lineman Wayne Gandy and Local 3 anchor Ben Bobick to preview Pittsburgh’s Week 2 showdown against the defending AFC champion New England Patriots.
The Squad debates whether the Steelers’ offense can overcome its troubling Week 1 performance, what Aaron Rodgers must do to outplay Drake Maye and whether Pittsburgh’s dominant pass rush can force the Patriots quarterback into another mistake-filled afternoon. They also identify the most favorable and concerning matchups, put Pittsburgh’s biggest issues on the Panic Meter and deliver their bold predictions and final scores.
Can the Steelers pass their Foxborough fraud check and improve to 2-0, or will a desperate Patriots team expose Pittsburgh’s flaws?
Subscribe, join the conversation and leave your final score prediction in the comments!
