Locked On Steelers

Steelers-Bengals an Identity Battle to Shape Season | Why Jaylen Warren is a Key to Stop Joe Burrow

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Mike DeFabo of the Athletic.

The Pittsburgh Steelers face off against the explosive Cincinnati Bengals in a battle of identities—can the Steelers’ elite defense contain Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Joe Burrow's high-powered attack? This AFC North clash raises the stakes as Pittsburgh aims to prove their defensive pedigree by limiting big plays and dominating the red zone while also controlling the clock on offense.

Christopher Carter and Mike DeFebo break down the critical matchups, including Pat Freiermuth’s history of big games against the Bengals, the importance of tight end involvement, and Zach Frazier’s duel with Dexter Lawrence in the trenches. The conversation explores strategies to slow both the Bengals’ run and passing game, which player matchups could decide the outcome, and bold predictions for a fierce divisional matchup with huge playoff implications. Which team’s brand of football will come out on top?

Steelers' Defense w/Firepower to Contain Bengals' Explosive Offense Again? | AFC North Power Shift?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jake Liscow of Locked on Bengals for Crossover Thursday.

The Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers set the stage for an AFC North showdown with playoff implications. Both teams, sitting at 6-2, reignite their fierce rivalry as they battle not only for divisional dominance, but also to silence critics questioning the legitimacy of their hot starts. Can Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase outgun a resurgent Steelers defense led by Cam Heyward and Jamel Dean, or will Jaylen Warren’s explosive run game and Darnell Washington’s physicality give Pittsburgh the edge?

The conversation focused on key matchups—Amarius Mims vs. T.J. Watt, Dexter Lawrence vs. Zach Frazier—and how each team’s strengths could shift the game’s momentum. One concept discussed was the Bengals' feast-or-famine run defense against creative Steelers ground schemes like crack toss. A key theme that emerged was the battle for red zone efficiency, with both teams boasting top-tier units on offense and defense. Will the Bengals' explosive passing attack break through, or will Mike Tomlin’s bully ball control the clock?

Steelers' Omar Khan Right or Wrong at Trade Deadline? | When Will WR Trade/Draft Search End?

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 stay quiet at the NFL trade deadline—does this reflect confidence in their current roster, or uncertainty about their Super Bowl trajectory? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh debate the team’s “half in, half out” approach, weighing the value of preserving key draft assets versus chasing short-term gains. The conversation focuses on Pittsburgh’s ongoing quest for a franchise quarterback, why players like Josh Downs weren’t acquired, and fan frustration over the playoff drought.

The discussion explores the Steelers’ persistent wide receiver woes, breaking down past misfires with George Pickens, Diontae Johnson, and JuJu Smith-Schuster, and examining what traits—like toughness and versatility—are crucial for future draft targets. Key themes include Pittsburgh’s strategic asset management, the evolving demands at receiver in the NFL, and how the bend-but-don’t-break defense can contain explosive teams like the Cincinnati Bengals. Can the Steelers’ calculated patience yield long-term success?

Should Steelers Trade for Man-Beating WR or Trust Developing 6-2 Start? | Jamel Dean/DBs Underrated?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Destiny Sanchez of Pittsburgh Sports Tonight.

The Pittsburgh Steelers confront a pivotal trade deadline as questions swirl—do they need a blockbuster trade or just a spark from within? Christopher Carter and Destiny Sanchez break down the Steelers' biggest offensive hurdles, spotlighting Jaylen Warren’s explosive rushing, Aaron Rodgers’ passing options, and Darnell Washington’s growth as a red zone threat. Is a cost-effective receiver the missing piece, or can existing talent rise to the challenge as AFC rivals close in?

The conversation focuses on the Steelers’ secondary performance without Joey Porter Jr., Jamel Dean’s strong coverage stats, and Patrick Graham’s defensive adjustments. Key matchups loom, especially against Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and the surging Cincinnati Bengals. The discussion explores how the AFC North race tightens with the Bengals’ offensive firepower and Lamar Jackson’s injury impacting the Baltimore Ravens. Can the Steelers’ defense withstand high-caliber opponents and keep their playoff aspirations alive?

Steelers Slept On as AFC North Threat Over Bengals? | Keeanu Benton Now Cam Heyward's Elite Partner

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Ashley Wenskoski of Pittsburgh Sports Tonight.

Pittsburgh Steelers surge to first place in the AFC North, yet national analysts still doubt their title chances. Are bettors sleeping on Mike McCarthy’s squad? Veteran leadership from T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward anchors a defense ranked top-five in both points and yards allowed, while Keeanu Benton’s breakout alongside Hayward fuels Pittsburgh’s dominant run-stopping ability.

Christopher Carter and guest Ashley Winskoski break down the team’s offensive evolution, highlight Jaylen Warren’s dynamic impact, and debate the Steelers’ trade deadline strategy—should Omar Khan pursue a new wide receiver given Michael Pittman Jr.’s injury? Key discussion points include the impact of Patrick Graham’s coaching adjustments, schedule challenges featuring Joe Burrow’s Cincinnati Bengals, and the importance of draft capital with quarterback uncertainties looming. Can the Steelers capitalize on their momentum or will offensive firepower hold them back on their playoff quest?

Steelers' Offense Run by Mike McCarthy or Aaron Rodgers as Jaylen Warren Thrives w/Dominant O-Line?

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

Pittsburgh Steelers overpower Cleveland Browns with dominant run game, but passing attack sparks concern. Is Mike McCarthy giving Aaron Rodgers too much freedom at the line, or are growing pains part of the winning formula? Chris Carter and Alan Saunders debate the Steelers’ red zone struggles, DK Metcalf’s costly miscues, and the impact of the team’s run-heavy approach as they hit the season’s halfway point.

Stars and Skulls grades shake up the roster spotlight, with Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle earning high marks for their backfield brilliance, and Mason McCormick anchoring an offensive line that bulldozed the Browns. The discussion explores whether the Steelers’ current formula can sustain a top spot in the AFC, how upcoming matchups against the Bengals and Jaguars could expose weaknesses, and why a wide receiver trade might be on the horizon as the deadline approaches. Where do the Steelers go from here?

Steelers Bully Browns 27-6 Behind Mason McCormick, O-Line Dominance | Best Team in AFC North?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers dominated the Cleveland Browns 27-6 Sunday behind a powerful offensive line led by Mason McCormick's physicality. Christopher Carter dives into what the Steelers did the best with that offensive line, as Zach Frazier and Troy Fautanu played big roles in springing Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle for big days, and that allowed the play action passes to Darnell Washington and Pat Freiermuth to open up. Does Mike McCarthy need to just let the Steelers run the ball more and stop Aaron Rodgers from throwing when they get down in the red zone?

Also, Chris goes into what the defense did well to set up their pass rush for a big day with eight sacks as T.J. Watt led the way. Keeanu Benton and the defensive line stuffed the run while Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson keyed a well balanced defense that kept Deshaun Watson and the passing attack in check.

But do the Steelers have a problem with their passing attack? Christopher thinks so, as Rodgers couldn't get anything going with DK Metcalf and Germie Bernard, and Metcalf's drop that turned into an interception was arguably his worst moment of the season.

Steelers Ready for Deshaun Watson in Browns Rematch? | Can Aaron Rodgers Counter Man-Heavy Defense?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Spencer German of Locked on Browns for Crossover Thursday.

The Pittsburgh Steelers get their rematch with the Cleveland Browns where they'll have a chnce to prove their defense is ready to shut down Deshaun Watson after he defeated them four weeks ago. Christopher Carter and Spencer German discuss what's different this time around for both sides, as Watson has improved, but so has Patrick Graham's defense that's more coordinated with how they deploy zone coverage. Also, can Aaron Rodgers find answers for the Steelers' offense against the Browns' defense that plays the most man coverage in the NFL? The Steelers' receivers have been among the NFL's worst at creating separation in their routes, which makes it more difficult to face such defenses. But with the progress in the run game through Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle, do the Steelers have the answers to win?

Why Steelers Shouldn't Go for Big Trade Targets like Sauce Gardner, Brian Thomas Jr., Focus on Draft

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers are rumored to have made calls to explore the trade market, but will they make a big splash trade? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss some of the top trade options that might be avaialble with the Indianapolis Colts' apparent fire sale as they've already sent away DeForest Buckner and Quenton Nelson. But could they also send away Sauce Gardner or Josh Downs? And what would be a better move for the Steelers between a big new big play wide receiver or a shutdown cornerback? Chris and Nick discuss other options like Brian Thomas Jr. of the Jacksonville Jaguars or Ladd McConkey of the Los Angeles Chargers. Chris argues going for a big trade target might not be the best idea considering the opportunities coming for the Steelers in the coming NFL Draft class.

Also, Chris and Nick discuss the benefits of Patrick Graham's soft zone coverage in the Steelers' pass defense. Could this be the right scheme for Jalen Ramsey, DeShon Elliott, Jamel Dean and company or will they eventually get figured out if the team isn't able to get into tighter man press coverage soon? Finally, what is the right balance for Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle touches in Mike McCarthy's offense?

Steelers Building Elite Offensive/Defensive Lines in New Foundation | Patrick Queen Underappreciated

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' linemen are becoming the strength of the team, just as Omar Khan planned when he first took over as general manager years ago. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders talk about the progress of those offensive and defensive linemen at the core of that plan, and how Zach Frazier, Keeanu Benton and many of the team's recent draft picks all have started to dominat the line of scrimmage. Could the Steelers be building a core of offensive and defensive linemen like the Philadelphia Eagles did years ago that set up their best teams that won the Super Bowl?

Also, it's time for this week's Locked on Steelers Stars and Skulls grades. Christopher and Alan go over the grades that showed how elite Frazier, Benton, Cam Heyward and Yahya Black were at the line of scrimmage, as well as Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson at inside linebacker. Is Queen an underappreciated playmaker for the defense? Also, with multiple sacks given up by Troy Fautanu and Max Iheanachor, could the Steelers have an offensive tackle problem?

Steelers' Jaylen Warren, Rico Dowdle a Dynamic Duo in 16-10 Win vs Saints | Patrick Graham is Right

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers proved their physical style of football is their calling card in their 16-10 win over the New Orleans Saints Sunday in Paris, France. Christopher Carter breaks down the win and how Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle proved to be a dynamic duo that totaled over 220 yards from scrimmage together. That played a big factor in the Steelers' offensive rhythm and their best day of converting third downs this season, while Darnell Washington bullied his way for a touchdown and Aaron Rodgers showed his ability to manage the game and make clutch plays.

Also, Chris explains why Patrick Graham is right to use the defense he's called so far this season. While it's used a bend but don't break approach, it became a bend and break the Saints approach when it held Tyler Shough to just 10 points and owned the red zone while Payton Wilson got an interception and Patrick Queen had a strong performance as the Saints averaged just 1.1 yards per carry.

Steelers Rookie Class Answers Call, Ready to Carry Roster? | DeShon Elliott's Return Frees Up DBs

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 continue to call upon their rookie class to step up in a season where they continue to deal with several injuries. Christopher Carter and Jenna Harner discuss the latest rookies who will see playing time in defensive tackles Gabriel Rubio and Kevin Jobity Jr. in place of Derrick Harmon and Sebastian Joseph-Day being on injured reserve. Between them, Max Iheanachor, Germie Bernard, Daylen Everette, Robert Spears-Jennings and others, this year's rookie class continues to make an impact on this season. But are they ready to carry the roster for the rest of the season? Many tests wait ahead for the Steelers' rookies.

Also, Chris and Jenna give their week seven picks, including the Steelers' matchup with the New Orleans Saints. But with DeShon Elliott set to return this week, what will he be able to do to help the secondary against Tyler Shough and Chris Olave?

Steelers-Saints Aaron Rodgers' Chance to Finally Put Whole Offense Together | Blitzing Tyler Shough

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Ross Jackson of Locked on Saints for Crossover Thursday.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' matchup against the New Orleans Saints in Paris, France is a chance for Aaron Rodgers and the offense to get things right. The Saints' defense has been among the NFL's worst this season, and that gives the Steelers a chance to finally find some consistentcy in their passing and rushing attacks this season. Christopher Carter and Ross Jackson break down the matchups that will define this international NFL game on both sides of the ball. Tyler Shough has been fine against the blitz, so how can Patrick Graham design a pass rush that will disrupt his passing attack that's made the Saints one of the better scoring offenses in the NFL? How will the Saints try to stop T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig?

STEELERS SQUAD SHOW: Offense MUST Improve as Jaylen Warren, Aaron Rodgers Prepare for Saints & Paris

New city. Same questions. Can the Steelers put together a complete game, or will the Saints expose Pittsburgh in Paris?

Can the offense find its rhythm early? Will Pittsburgh’s pass rush disrupt Tyler Shough? And can the secondary keep Chris Olave from turning this historic matchup into a Saints celebration?

Steelers' Chameleon Defensive Scheme w/Patrick Graham Aids Weekly Adjustments | DeShon Elliott 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' defense hasn't established a specific style or scheme yet under Patrick Graham, but that's how the team's new defensive coordinator likes his unit to play. Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss how Graham's defense has chameleon qualities that allows it to shift and morph to different styles based on what the defense must do against various NFL offenses. But will this work for the Steelers in the long run?

Also, Chris and Nick talk about whether the Steelers' wide receiver unit has actually made progress or not after all its investments during the offseason. DK Metcalf and Germie Bernard had strong performances against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but injuries to Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson have severely limited the depth of the unit for Aaron Rodgers, and that could be a dangerous risk even with the signing of Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Finally, Chris and Nick discuss the potential return of DeShon Elliott and how well the Steelers' secondary has performed so far this season.

Steelers' Mike McCarthy Must Lean More on Jaylen Warren, Under Center Offense to Fix 3rd Down Issues

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 are one of the worst third down offenses in the NFL, and Mike McCarthy has to do something to change that. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders discuss why running the ball with Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle and calling more plays from under center could be the trick that not only makes the Steelers better on third down, but a completely better offense. But how do the Steelers do that while maintaining the right kind of offensive balance that keeps defenses guessing with Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf and Germie Bernard in the passing game.

Also, it's a Stars and Skulls grades episode where Christopher and Alan discuss the Locked on Steelers grades for the Steelers' win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The defensive linemen got top marks as Cam Heyward, Yahya Black and Keeanu Benton had huge days stopping Bucky Irving along with elite showings from Jalen Ramsey and Jamel Dean. But after another down showing, do the Steelers have an offensive tackle problem with Max Iheanachor and Troy Fautanu being inconsistent?

Steelers WRs Germie Bernard, DK Metcalf Find Chemistry w/Aaron Rodgers in Time to Beat Buccaneers

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers needed their top receivers DK Metcalf and Germie Bernard to find their chemistry with Aaron Rodgers to save the day against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Steelers fell behind by 13 points in the fourth quarter and look lost with their offense inept on the road yet again. But Rodgers took over the offense and found Metcalf and Bernard for several big plays in the fourth quarter and overtime for a clutch comeback win. Christopher Carter gives his reaction to the 26-19 win for the Steelers and why he thinks the connection between Rodgers and his receivers could be a sign of big things in the future for the Steelers.

Christopher also breaks down what impressed him about the Steelers' defense as Jalen Ramsey and Jamel Dean led the way. Ramsey's two sacks were huge but he also played a big role in shutting down Bucky Irving, while Dean got multiple breakups and an interception that should've sealed the game.

Finally, Chris explains why he thinks it's huge that the Steelers found resilience in this win, even if Mike McCarthy mismanaged some things in the end.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jack Hillgrove of Pittsburgh Sports Tonight.

Christopher Carter and Jack Hillgrove discuss what McCarthy must do to create more high percentage throws for Aaron Rodgers in ways that create fluidity in the passing attack. Can DK Metcalf and Germie Bernard find answers this week against the aggressive Tampa Bay Buccaneers' defense?

Steelers' Offensive Balance Unlocks Aaron Rodgers' Football IQ | Jaylen Warren vs Top Run Defense

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by James Yarcho of Locked on Buccaneeers.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' offense has found its balance over the past three games and that's helped unlock a bigger impact from Aaron Rodgers' football IQ on games. Christopher Carter discusses that impact with James Yarcho and how the best part of the Steelers' offense is how there's no one overwhelming strength on the team and they have a mix of good players can draw the defense's attention. Whether it's Jaylen Warren on the ground or in the air, DK Metcalf, Pat Freiermuth or Germie Bernard, the Steelers' weapons give them plenty of options.

Meanwhile, the Steelers' run game has taken off in recent weeks, but now they face Vita Vea, Calijah Kancey and one of the best run defenses in the NFL. How will they counter them?
