Steelers' Derrick Harmon, Max Iheanachor Look Like Big Winners in Padded Practices of Training Camp

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 had their second day of fully padded practices at training camp and their two most recent first round picks stood out big time. Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh talk about how Derrick Harmon and Max Iheanachor have looked strong in the early practices. Harmon's power is evident with how he dominates the line of scrimmage to the point that Aaron Rodgers is calling audibles to make sure the Steelers' offense doesn't run at him. Meanwhile, Iheanachor has showed off his quick feet in practice to win reps against star edge rushers like TJ Watt, Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig. Also, Chris and Nick talk about how Mike McCarthy's passing attack is developing with Rodgers' playing more under center with a wider variety of quick passing concepts that involve DK Metcalf, Pat Freiermuth and Michael Pittman Jr. Could this be the factor that unlocks the rest of the offense? Finally, Chris and Nick review each of the players they've awareded players of practice to throughout camp, and assign some other winners and losers of the first week of practices. Has Roman Wilson stepped into a role that will make him a bigger factor in the offense?

Steelers' Training Camp Less Competitive Under Mike McCarthy? | New SAF Rayshawn Jenkins Not Fix FS?

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 had their first practice in full pads of training camp, but the pads weren't popping as practice remain less competitive. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders discuss whether that's a good or a bad thing for Mike McCarthy's first year as head coach. Could the Steelers lose their competitive edge that has gotten them through so many tough games over the years? Or could they be setting themselves up to be healthier later in the season? Also, Chris and Alan give you their top players of practice number five at Saint Vincent College, and why the offensive line had a great day in the pass protection drills. Could Zach Frazier and Mason McCormick be an elite offensive line duo in the making? How did Max Iheanachor do? Finally, Chris and Alan discuss the Steelers' addition of safety Rayshawn Jenkins. The addition provides the Steelers another player who has traditionally played more as a strong safety, joining DeShon Elliott and Jaquan Brisker. Chris asks McCarthy if the need of a more experienced free safety is something the Steelers will address.

Steelers' DK Metcalf, Asante Samuel Jr., Pat Freiermuth Among Training Camp Week 1's Top Performers

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers had a lively and interesting week one of training camp. Christopher Carter gives you his top performers so far and the biggest difference under Mike McCarthy. From the offense's DK Metcalf, Germie Bernard and Pat Freiermuth, to the defense's Asante Samuel Jr. and Jaquan Brisker, a lot of the team's top performers showed the Steelers could be ready to be better attacking through the air and defending the pass. Aaron Rodgers has shown how to get more out of McCarthy's offense with the wider vareity of quick passing concepts that can open up both the run game and the deep passing game. And, Chris goes into the biggest differences from McCarthy's practices so far from how Mike Tomlin ran training camp. McCarthy's practices focus more on individual drills and working on fundamentals without competing against each other, while Tomlin's practice grilled fundamentals through competition betwen the offense and defense. But which method is better for the Steelers in the long run? Finally, Chris gets you ready for week two of training camp as the pads are about to go on and the team is about to hit for the first time this year. Who are the players Chris is looking to see the most out of when those pads go on? Can the offensive line show major progress this year with Troy Fautanu, Mason McCormick and Zach Frazier? And can the younger defensive linemen in Derrick Harmon, Keeanu Benton and Yahya Black become a dominant force of the future?

Steelers' Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf Show Potential of Mike McCarthy's Offense in Training Camp Day 2

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers completed day two of training camp with Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf showing more of the potential of Mike McCarthy's offense. Christopher Carter gives his recap of the Steelers second day of training camp and how Rodgers and Metcalf took over the practice with their chemistry. Their abilities to work different parts of the offense and show how McCarthy's scheme could bring out the best parts of the offense with Roman Wilson, Michael Pittman Jr., Pat Freiermuth and Germie Bernard took over the practice. Chris gives his insight into how this can help find more ways for the passing attack to open up the offense. Also, Chris talks about how McCarthy makes his practices different from Mike Tomlin. What are the Steelers' Six as McCarthy describes them? And how do they help the team practice fundamentals instead of having more competitive practice periods? And how has Patrick Graham's secondary worked on diguises in practice for Jaquan Brisker, Darnell Savage, Brandin Echols and DeShon Elliott to already show good signs of progress?

Steelers' Defense Wins First Day of Camp | First Look at Mason Rudolph vs Will Howard, Drew Allar

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense won the first day of training camp with big plays from Patrick Queen, Asante Samuel Jr. and other defenders. But the offense still showed impressive synergy in how they operated with Aaron Rodgers operating Mike McCarthy's offense again. Christopher Carter breaks down his insights from watching practice and takes you to Saint Vincent College to show his discussions with players about what they're seeing as the Steelers begin training camp. What is there to like about how the defense has started training camp under Patrick Graham? How are Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard connecting much better than the Steelers' offensive playmakers last year? And what has the first look at the quarterback battle between Mason Rudolph and the young quarterbacks Will Howard and Drew Allar looked like?

Steelers Put Joey Porter Jr., Jalen Ramsey on PUP to Start Training Camp | Broderick Jones is Back

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 announced that both Jalen Ramsey and Joey Porter Jr. would start Steelers training camp on the PUP list, while Broderick Jones was back and healthy to practice. Christopher Carter and NIck Farabaugh talk about the circumstances of the two top cornerbacks who are set to miss the start of training camp. Could Ramsey's injury be much worse than the Steelers are letting on? And could Porter's injury ust be part of the negotiation games between his agent and the team as he waits for a big contract extension? Also, Jones is back and ready to compete at offensive tackle. But what position will he play? Will he return to right tackle and start over Dylan Cook? Will he be Mike McCarthy's swing tackle to move around the offensive line? And does McCarthy's declaration that the Steelers won't tackle during live training camp practices mean they're at risk at becoming a worse run defense?

Steelers' Top Breakout Training Camp Candidates: Roman Wilson, Jack Sawyer, Daylen Everette?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers report for training camp today. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders give you their top breakout candidates to watch during camp. While rookie Germie Bernard will draw a lot of attention, Chris and Alan look at young veterans like Payton Wilson, Roman Wilson and Jack Sawyer as they work to make their impact on the roster. But could Daylen Everette also be a sleeper to push the veteran cornerbacks for playing time? Also, Chris and Alan take your calls on the Locked on Steelers call-in line. Is Mike McCarthy's coaching staff better adapting their coaching style to their roster than Mike Tomlin's staff? And why do Patrick Queen and Aaron Rodgers stand to gain the most benefits with the coaching staff change?

How Steelers' Will Howard Can Win Quarterback Battle vs Mason Rudolph at Training Camp

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers report to training camp tomorrow and have a coming quarterback battle on the depth chart between Will Howard and Mason Rudolph. If the second-year quarterback who won a national championship from Ohio State in Howard is going to beat out the Steelers' longtime backup in Rudolph, Christopher Carter sees one key element he has to show in practices and during the preseason. And it's not about his speed or athleticism, it's about his command of Mike McCarthy's offense. Chris dives into factors he'll be looking for Howard to achieve at training camp and how things could go right or wrong for Howard. Also, fans of the Locked on Steelers call-in line ask more questions about what will happen with Drew Allar in the training camp battle, and whether the selection of the third round quarterback from Penn State was a bad idea when Howard and Rudolph were already to backups slotted to play behind Aaron Rodgers this season.

Steelers Top Trade Assets Include Broderick Jones, Keeanu Benton? | Jaylen Warren Top 10 RB?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers have some players on their roster who could attract NFL Draft trade capital. Christopher Carter goes over some of the players who could be at the top of that list. While he's gone over players like Alex Highsmith before, other players could be a better fit like Broderick Jonees and Keeanu Benton. But could Joey Porter Jr. be another name for that list if he doesn't sign a contract extension this season? Also, Chris takes questions from listeners on the Locked on Steelers call-in line. Could the Steelers target a trade for a big name veteran like Vita Vea? Or a return of George Pickens? And is Jaylen Warren a top 10 running back in the NFL? Or will Rico Dowdle make that hard to argue as they split touches in Mike McCarthy's offense?

Steelers' Mike McCarthy Doesn't Have to Worry About a Short Leash from Rooneys | Targets for TEs?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers' new coaching staff under Mike McCarthy has a lot of expectations. But Christopher Carter doesn't see that meaning they'll be on a short leash with the Rooney family. Brian Angelichio and Patrick Graham along with McCarthy are going to be given the same patience and grace that Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher and Mike Tomlin were given as the Steelers have been the only NFL franchise to have just three head coaches since 1969. That patience has helped them become one of the premier franchsie in the NFL, and it should be expected to be extended to McCarthy. But what could McCarthy do that would eventually put him on a hot seat with the Steelers in short order? Also, Chris takes your questions from the Locked on Steelers call-in line. Will Angelichio's background as a tight ends coach lead to the Steelers' increased usage of tight ends? What are the best dates and suggestions to plan for a visit to Steelers training camp at Saint Vincent College? And what can be expected of the Steelers' plans for the offensive tackle rotation with Troy Fautanu, Broderick Jones, Max Iheanachor and Dylan Cook all fighting for spots?

Steelers Training Camp Battle Preview: Germie Bernard vs Roman Wilson | Next Hines Ward on Roster?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers have some training camp battles coming up over the next month, but Christopher Carter sees a key one over wide receiver in Germie Bernard vs Roman Wilson. Bernard may be the rookie second round pick everyone is excited about, but Wilson is a veteran fighting for his career, and the two of them are going to fight it out for the WR3 spot in Mike McCarthy's offense. Who will be the next option after DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. for Aaron Rodgers to target? What are their strengths and how are they different? Also, Chris takes your questions on the Locked on Steelers call-in line. What are the key differences between their new special teams coach Danny Crossman and his predecessor Danny Smith? What did Smith do well that Crossman might struggle at? And how could Crossman surpass the Steelers' special teams coach of the last 13 seasons? Finally, Chris takes a question as to whether Michael Pittman Jr. is the Steelers next Hines Ward. But Chris sees another receiver on the rostere who is more likely to take on the mantle of what Ward did and meant to the Steelers of the 2000s.

Steelers' Lack of True Free Safety a Major Issue Before Training Camp | Can Offense Reach Top 10?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers have defensive backs they're confident about, but do they have a true free safety? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss how Jalen Ramsey, Jaquan Brisker and DeShon Elliott all can be playmakers in the secondary, but that they're all more suited to defend the slot or play strong safety. But can any of them be a true free safety to protect against the deep ball the way Minkah Fitzpatrick did for years at an all-pro level? Also, Chris and Nick answer your questions from the Locked on Steelers call-in line. Can the Steelers' offense return to being a top ten scoring unit under Mike McCarthy? Aaron Rodgers having new weapons in Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard could help, but there could be plenty more bumps in the road for the offense to have a great year. Finally, Chris and Nick answer a question on whether the Steelers could pull off a trade with the Dallas Cowboys to get a first round pick by sending Alex Highsmith and Kaleb Johnson away. Could that be the shakeup the Steelers need to land an elite NFL Draft quarterback prospect like Archie Manning?

Steelers' Mike McCarthy's Top Pros, Worst Cons Compared to Mike Tomlin | Higher Ceiling/Lower Floor?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers' new head coach Mike McCarthy will have different coaching strengths compared to Mike Tomlin. But what will be the pros and cons? Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders explain what changes will be the best and worst of the coaching transition. What practices can McCarthy institutionalize to make the offense more efficient and modernized to today's NFL? What are the biggest concerns about the defense? Also, what are the biggest changes needed to improve the run defense? Can the defense see a jump simply from a scheme change? Or do personnel have to change or improve like Patrick Queen, Payton Wilson and Keeanu Benton? Finally, who are some of the Steelers' top training camp battles to watch with players reporting a week from Tuesday?

Steelers Need Jalen Ramsey to Be Ace Chess Piece Defender | Michael Pittman Jr. Team MVP Dark Horse?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers need a chess piece defender in the middle of their defense, and they're pinning their hopes on Jalen Ramsey to fill the role. Christopher Carter explains where Ramsey could be the boost they need as a versatile defender if he doesn't have to stick to free safety this year, and how having an elite chess piece defender has been the key to the best Steelers' defenses in the past 20 years. But even if Ramsey can't fill that role on an elite level, Chris points out several prospects who could be in the 2027 NFL Draft to fill such a role like Notre Dame's Kingston Viliamu-Asu or Braunte Johnson, Georgia's Chris Cole and KJ Bolden, LSU's Dashawn Spears or Texas' Rasheem Biles. Also, Chris takes your questions from the Locked on Steelers' call-in line and explains why he thinks Michael Pittman Jr. could be a dark horse candidatee for team MVP.

Steelers Training Camp Plan for Young QBs Will Howard, Drew Allar | Mason Rudolph Trade Option

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 are less than two weeks away from training camp, and they have to be ready to develop young quarterbacks Drew Allar and Will Howard. Christopher Carter and Jenna Harner discuss how they expect training camp to go for the Steelers' quarterback room as Aaron Rodgers runs the offense, Will Howard goes on the fast track to learn the offense and Drew Allar spends the summer learning the basics to be in the NFL. But how will Mike McCarthy focus on all of them at the same time? Also, Chris and Jenna take your questions from the Locked on Steelers call-in line. If the Steelers trade Mason Rudolph to keep Howard and Allar, could Omar Khan get a good return for Rudolph? And if he does, former McCarthy quarterback Cooper Rush could be an ideal practice squad target to make the team's emergency quarterback. And with a new coaching staff and all the roster additions, are the Steelers ready to compete with the Chiefs and the Bills?

Steelers' Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington MUST Be Red Zone TD Bandits in Mike McCarthy's Offense

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers might not have the NFL's elite tight end duo, but Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington look like they could be red zone bandits. Christopher Carter breaks down how that could be the key to boosting Mike McCarthy's offense as a scoring unit. Freiermuth and Washington have scored the majority of their touchdowns in the red zone, and McCarthy must create situations for Aaron Rodgers to target them more so the Steelers can jump up from being the 18th-best red zone offense to being a top 10 unit that finishes drives with touchdowns at a consistent rate. Also, Chris takes your questions on the Locked on Steelers call-in line. Could Washington be a candidate to be the team's tush push player? Do Steelers rookies Riley Nowakowski and Kaden Wetjen compare to past NFL role players John Kuhn and Cole Beasley? And with training camp less than two weeks away, is Will Howard not getting enough respect in the QB plan?

Why Steelers' Joey Porter Jr. IS a Top 10 NFL Cornerback | Mike McCarthy Won't Keep 4 Quarterbacks?

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' top cornerback Joey Porter Jr. was left out of ESPN's top 10 NFL cornerback rankings. Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh explain why that list is wrong. Porter's shutdown cornerback skills have made him one of the best erasers of top receivers in the NFL. Even if he's not among the top elite cornerbacks like Pat Surtain II, Derek Stingley Jr., and Christian Gonzalez, he shouldn't be ranked beneath others like Denzel Ward, Jaycee Horn and Cooper DeJean. But can Porter make the leap to elite in 2026? Also, Chris and Nick answer a fan's question about what's taking Porter and the Steelers so long to sign a contract extension. Are there problems between Porter's agent and Omar Khan or is it just a matter of time before the new deal gets signed? Finally, Chris and Nick answer another fan's question about the quarterback room. Mike McCarthy may like his quarterbacks, but both Chris and Nick see it highly unlikely that the Steelers will keep all of Aaron Rodgers, Will Howard, Drew Allar and Mason Rudolph.

Steelers Must Find Derrick Harmon's DL Partner for Run Defense | Germie Bernard's Promising Footwork

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense must find their partner for the future on the defensive line for Derrick Harmon to bolster the run defense. Christopher Carter dives in on where the Steelers' run defense lacked from their work in 3-4 base defense and in nickel defense, and whether the defensive line or linebackers were more to blame for their struggles last season. Harmon's numbers show that he had a huge impact in the Steelers' run defense, but it's clear that with Cam Heyward only having limited time left in the NFL that the Steelers either need Keeanu Benton to take a big leap in his skills to defend the run, or find a future starting defensive tackle to pair with Harmon. Chris explains why a big key for the Steelers' defensive line still has to involve keeping the linebackers clean by taking on double teams at the point of attack. Though Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson need to play better as well, their best traits get unlocked when the defensive line keeps them clean, and that could be a huge building block for the Steelers to get back to being one of the NFL's top defenses. Also, Chris takes a question on what Antonio Brown did as a receiver to stand out despite being a low draft pick. Brown's strengths in his explosiveness and footwork are a reminder that speed isn't everything, and that Germie Bernard's precise and explosive footwork could make him a dangerous receiver.

Steelers' Defensive Identity of Protecting 4th Quarter Leads in Trouble w/Patrick Graham?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense have a historical identity of protecting leads under Mike Tomlin, Bill Cowher and Chuck Noll. But will that continue under Patrick Graham? Christopher Carter dives into the numbers on how the Steelers have protected fourth quarter leads at an elite level not only under Teryl Austin, but throughout the entirety of Tomlin's tenure as head coach and even under Cowher and Noll. Graham's numbers in his previous years as defensive coordinator aren't as strong with the Miami Dolphins, New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders, where his defenses regularly finished towards the bottom of the NFL when it came to protecting fourth quarter leads. Can he change that as the Steelers' defensive coordinator with weapons like Joey Porter Jr., T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Jalen Ramsey and Jamel Dean on his roster? Also, Chris takes your calls on the Locked on Steelers podcast where a fan asks about Payton Wilson's coverage abilities. Wilson's numbers show a completely different story from year one to year two, and not in a good way. Can the third-year linebacker out of North Carolina State rebound?

Steelers' T.J. Watt's Impact on Wins Underrated in ESPN's Top 10 NFL Edge Rusher List

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers' top defender T.J. Watt wasn't as productive as a pass rusher last season, but is he not still one of the elite defenders in the NFL? Christopher Carter reviews a recent top 10 ranking of edge defenders where Watt was ranked seventh behind stars like Myles Garrett, Maxx Crosby, Danielle Hunter, Will Anderson Jr. and Aidan Hutchinson. But while Watt hasn't produced the sack numbers of some of his elite years, he's still having a big impact on games and Steelers wins. Is that an underrated part of his game that still makes him one of the best in the NFL? Or is he washed not an impact player anymore? Also, Chris answers a call from the Locked on Steelers call-in line about the outside linebackers. Does Watt make life easier for Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig enough to make them an elite trio?

Steelers' Nickel Defense vs Run Patrick Graham's Biggest Challenge to Return Defense to Elite Status

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense is going to have to be prepared to stuff the run out of nickel formations more often in 2026. Can Patrick Graham make them one of the more elite units in that department joining the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss the key elements of the defense that had worked in the past but must still improve. Will that come down more to Derrick Harmon, Keeanu Benton and the younger defensive linemen? Or to Patrick Queen, Jalen Ramsey, and the off-ball defenders who will need to fill the holes? Also, Chris and Nick take a caller's question on where certain depth chart battles might become problems for younger players' development. Could lower depth chart developmental players like Yahya Black, Daylen Everette, Max Iheanachor and Gennings Dunker see a setback with veterans like Sebastian Joseph-Day, Asante Samuel Jr., Dylan Cook and Brock Hoffman in the way?

Steelers' Joey Porter Jr., Jamel Dean a Top NFL Cornerback Combo? | Deeper Roster Ready for Injuries

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.

Jalen Ramsey Key to Steelers' Revamped Coverage Plan for Middle of Field under Patrick Graham

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.

Why Steelers' Michael Pittman Jr. Plays a HUGE Role in Mike McCarthy's Plans | Trade Keeanu Benton?

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?

Why Steelers Will Focus on 1st Down Passing Aggression, Efficiency Under Mike McCarthy

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?
