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' schedule revealed another late season gauntlet with several playoff teams and the Steelers' toughest divisional matchups. Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette argues that's a reason the Steelers MUST stack early wins in their schedule to make the playoffs. What are the best matchups for the Steelers in the early part of the season that give them a chacne to build an early lead? And which teams could be the toughest challenges? Also, Chris notes three wild schedule patterns for the Steelers, some that are disadvantages. The Steelers playing for a third time in a row against the Eagles in Philadelphia is a bad sign and a difficult streak to beat as the Steelers haven't won in Philadelphia since 1965. The Steelers also didn't get any favors with another road Thursday night game against an AFC North opponent, and their home game against the Browns comes the week after playing in Paris, France against the Saints. Could this be a disadvantage to the Steelers that ends a streak of home dominance against the Browns that goes back more than 20 years?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers' biggest coaching difference that could help them return to being a Super Bowl contender is rooted in Mike McCarthy's ability to develop quarterbacks. Christopher Carter explains why his development approach is bigger than just being about Aaron Rodgers, Drew Allar, or Will Howard. How could McCarthy's approach also help the potential first round picks the Steelers may target in next year's NFL Draft like Arch Manning, LaNorris Sellers, CJ Carr or Jayden Maiava. Steelers offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio also talks about how the Steelers' plans to change the offense and form it around the quarterback could improve the team. Also, Chris answers more of your questions on the Locked on Steelers call-in line, including questions about Howard and Allar and whether the Steelers would be better off if they were the starters for the offense. Could Chris Boswell's contract extension have been about freeing up more money for Rodgers? And what are the chances Kaleb Johnson will get a proper second chance at running back?

On this week's episode, the Locked On Steelers Squad dives into the latest surrounding the Steelers/Saints matchup in Paris as part of the NFL’s international schedule expansion and what it could mean for Pittsburgh’s global spotlight. Then we shift into the biggest storyline of the week: The ongoing Aaron Rodgers mystery, including reports that he was in Pittsburgh over the weekend with conflicting information about who knew what and when. 

We also break down the Steelers locking in Chris Boswell with a 4-year extension, making one of the most reliable kickers in football a long-term piece of the roster. Finally, we wrap things up with early impressions from Steelers rookie minicamp, including standout performances, early development notes, and what fans should actually take away from the first on-field action of the offseason. 

From QB drama to international football to rookie development, this episode covers everything happening in Steelers Nation right now.

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 made several changes to their offense with a trade for Michael Pittman and drafting Germie Bernard. But with Mike McCarthy calling the plays can the be a top 10 offense? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh debate if the changes have been enough to make them dangerous with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback? Or are there too many rookies and young players in the offense to expect them to thrive so quickly? Also, Chris and Nick discuss how footage of Drew Allar's footwork drills from Steelers rookie camp shook the internet with overreactions galore. But what actually can be revealed from how McCarthy worked so closely with Allar on technique? And is Chris Boswell's new contract too much money for a kicker? Finally, what can be expected from Kaden Wetjen's contributions both to the receiver group and on special teams?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com.

The Pittsburgh Steelers showed where they'd prefer Max Iheanachor and Gennings Dunker to play on their offensive line during rookie camp. That might cause a shuffled on the offensive line, but it should still work for the offensive line Omar Khan, Andy Weidl and Mike McCarthy are putting together. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders dig into how Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu may have to switch positions more, but that won't be an obstacle that stops the Steelers from finding their offensive line of the future with new position coach James Campen. Also, Chris and Alan discuss how McCarthy's offense plans to deploy more 11-personnel packages that favor their receivers DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard. But is that the right plan for an offense that's invested more into its offensive line than any other position in the NFL Draft over the past four years? And could that mean a pass-heavy offense is the plan even with the expected return of a 42-year old Aaron Rodgers?
