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 revealed their 53-man roster, and Christopher Carter sees some important holes at offensive tackle and safety that still need to be filled. Though the Steelers kept four quarterbacks in Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard and Drew Allar, what other moves could they have done to have a more complete roster? Also, who were the most surprising players kept by the Steelers? Gabriel Rubio, Eli Heidenreich, Robert Spears-Jennings and all of the Steelers' 2026 draft picks made the team along with obvious names like Max Iheanachor and Germie Bernard. Also, what is to be made of the Steelers' trades of Broderick Jones to the Dallas Cowboys and Kaleb Johnson to the Green Bay Packers? While they are correcting past mistakes, this time they aren't mistakes from Kevin Colbert, but of Omar Khan.

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost their preserason finale 28-27 Thursday night, but Christopher Carter is focused on how their young quarterbacks performed. Did Will Howard and Drew Allar show the kind of progress that was needed for young developmental quarterbacks in Mike McCarthy's QB school? Chris breaks down the parts of the field Allar worked that impressed. Also, Chris gives his review of the offensive line. Max Iheanachor made his debut, but allowed his first sack. Meanwhile, Gennings Dunker also struggled in pass protection, while Dylan Cook nor Broderick Jones looked like they were ready to be starters. Will the offensive line be ready for the regular season? Finally, Chris goes over his winners from the game, where he praises Kaden Wetjen for his first punt return touchdown.

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers play the Buffalo Bills Thursday night in a preseason finale. Christopher Carter gives his top five players with the most to prove in what could be the last chance for several players to prove themselves to the team before cuts are made for the 53-man roster. Is more pressure on Will Howard than Drew Allar? Are both Roman Wilson and Kaden Wetjen on the chopping block? Could Broderick Jones be a cut candidate? Chris explores all the top players he thinks need to show up for Mike McCarthy's staff to prioritize them in their roster assembly. Also, Chris shows his in-depth conversation with Steelers linebacker Patrick Queen about how Patrick Graham's defense gets aggressive. Chris points out how Graham wants to use Queen, Nick Herbig, Alex Highsmith and T.J. Watt in more linebacker-heavy formations to pressure quarterbacks and create chaos for the defense to confuse and disrupt offenses. Finally, Chris calls out the Steelers' offensive line as a group who still has a lot to prove if they're going to be a key driver for the Steelers' chances this season. The run game hasn't materialized for Jaylen Warren or Rico Dowdle yet in training camp or the preseason, and that could be a problem for Mike McCarthy, Aaron Rodgers, and the balanced attack that would make the Steelers' offense more complete.

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 still haven't gotten Michael Pittman Jr. back to being fully healthy after his injury. Could that hold back his chemistry with Aaron Rodgers and the offense? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss what's wrong with Pittman, and whether the lack of a connection with Rodgers in training camp could carry over to the Steelers' regular season. Could the WR2 Omar Khan got to help free up DK Metcalf from double teams not have the desired impact to start the season? Also, Broderick Jones admitted that the Steelers' flipping sides around this year has caused him some issues in getting his fundamentals back after he returned from injury. Chris and Nick discuss the impact of Mike McCarthy and James Campen's plans for the offensive line and whether the flipping of Troy Fautanu and Mason McCormick because of the Max Iheanachor pick is backfiring on the plans of the offensive line? Finally, Chris and Nick discuss something Ben Roethlisberger suggested on his own podcast. Should the Steelers cut Mason Rudolph and send him to the practice squad in order to keep both Will Howard and Drew Allar? And could Kaden Wetjen lose his roster spot if he's not the best return man?
