Steelers' Defense Shows T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Leaders Still Have It Factor in 20-13 Win vs Falcons

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers were victorious in their season opener with a 20-13 win over the Atlanta Falcons, where the defense showed they still have the it factor. But can T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Alex Highsmith and Jaquan Brisker buy time for Aaron Rodgers and the offense to make much needed fixes? Christopher Carter explains why he thinks the offenses mistakes from DK Metcalf's drops to the offensive line's penalties can be fixed over time, and that the Steelers' defense could be what helps the team survive until that happens. 

Chris takes you inside the locker room where Cam Heyward reveals a key part of the Steelers' plan being based off things they knew of how to face Kevin Stefanski in past years, Patrick Queen talks about their disguised coverages, Alex Highsmith talks about their big day and Michael Pittman Jr. praises Aaron Rodgers for how he's still able to make highly improbable throws. Chris still sees potential for the Steelers to be competitors in 2026 and win some big games, but what will it take for them to play a more complete game?

Steelers' Best Weapon in 2026 is a Balanced Attack | Mike McCarthy Must Work Jaylen Warren into Plan

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 have switched to being an offensive-led team with Mike McCarthy as head coach. But the key to making this year's offense work will be a balanced attack, and that needs Jaylen Warren. Christopher Carter and Jenna Harner take you inside the Steelers locker room to talk to DK Metcalf, and discuss how the Steelers' offense must spread the wealth around to be the best version of itself. Their week one matchup against the Atlanta Falcons allows for the team to build up some momentum with its run game against one of the worst run defenses in the NFL. 

Chris and Jenna also give you all their week one NFL picks as the Locked on Steelers pick'em league is back.

Steelers w/Mike McCarthy a Better Match than Falcons w/Kevin Stefanski? | Stopping Bijan Robinson

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Aaron Freeman of the Locked on Falcons podcast for Crossover Thursday.

The Pittsburgh Steelers face the Atlanta Falcons to open the new season, both teams with new head coaches. But who has the better match? Christopher Carter and Aaron Freeman discuss how Mike McCarthy and Kevin Stefanski have begun their tenures coaching their new teams and which coach has gotten the better results. Both are offensive minded coaches, but have different strengths with their team to lean on to start the season.

Can the Steelers' defense slow down Bijan Robinson? The superstar Falcons running back is the biggest weapon in the Falcons' arsenal, while the Steelers' new defense under Patrick Graham is supposed to be centered around stopping the run. What can Derrick Harmon, Cam Heyward, Keeanu Benton,  T.J. Watt and company do to limit the Falcons' offense? And Aaron Rodgers faces a talented Falcons secondary with A.J. Terrell, Jessie Bates III and Xavier Watts. What can the Steelers do to counter?

Steelers Putting Pressure on Joey Porter Jr. w/Asante Samuel Jr. as Co-Starting CB on Depth Chart?

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 released their first depth chart of the season and it had Joey Porter Jr. as a co-starting cornerback alongside Asante Samuel Jr. Is that the Steelers putting pressure on Porter to sign a contract extension sooner rather than later? Or is that the Steelers' way of protecting themselves in case Porter holds out going into the season? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss the cornerback situation and whether Christian Gonzalez's deal with the New England Patriots will speed up negotiations between the Steelers and Porter.

Also, Chris and Nick run through the Steelers' first official depth chart and look at where Mike McCarthy's decisions tell the most of the Steelers' plans. Roman Wilson is the team's WR3, but will Germie Bernard get more snaps? Max Iheanachor is a backup behind Dylan Cook, but can the rookie earn a starting spot soon? And with Keeanu Benton named the starting nose tackle, is he back to playing the position he's struggled in or will Yahya Black still come back as the team's nose tackle in 3-4 defenses?

Steelers' New Hopes w/Mike McCarthy Make 2026 a Season to Build Offense's Foundation for Future QB

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers may have the oldest roster in the NFL, but they also have plenty of reason for new hopes. Christopher Carter explains why, and how Mike McCarthy's plans could set the stage for whoever is the next Steelers franchise quarterback to return the franchise to being a Super Bowl contender. While Aaron Rodgers can help the Steelers compete for this season, the true aim of the year is for a blueprint to be established for future offenses.

While the Steelers have drafted Drew Allar and Will Howard, the first week of college football showed the potential for several elite quarterback prospects who could be in next year's NFL Draft. Arch Manning, Jayden Maiava, Dante Moore, Darien Mensah, Trinidad Chambliss, LaNorris Sellers and other quarterbacks all showed that the next quarterback class might be the one the Steelers need to find their next franchise quarterback.

Finally, Chris also looks at the Steelers' defense and its best path to returning to being a top unit.

Steelers' Aaron Rodgers Ready to Free Up DK Metcalf, Spreading Attack to Germie Bernard/Roman Wilson

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers added weapons to their passing attack to help free up DK Metcalf for Aaron Rodgers. But will that work out the way they envisioned? Christopher Carter shows his back and forth with Rodgers after practice this week on how the team can better free up Metcalf from double-teams by opposing defenses. Part of that comes from a balanced plan that involves more targets to rookie Germie Bernard, veteran Michael Pittman Jr., and a renewed Roman Wilson. Also, Rodgers describes how Wilson has struggled as a route runner, but where the former Michigan speedster has improved in how he fits into the passing attack this year. Could their connection be a key to unlock the rest of the team? Finally, Chris details how 12 personnel packages continue to rise in their usage across the NFL. Could that be an extra weapon for Rodgers with Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington? Chris shows what Washington told him in an interview after practice this week, and how that could be a huge opportunity for Mike McCarthy to exploit -- which is something he did for the Dallas Cowboys in 2022.

Steelers 53-Man Roster Leaves Holes at OT/Safety | Fallout from Broderick Jones/Kaleb Johnson Trades

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.

Steelers' Will Howard, Broderick Jones, Roman Wilson w/Most to Prove vs Bills in Preseason Finale

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.

Steelers' Michael Pittman Jr. Missing Out on Aaron Rodgers Chemistry? | OL Flipping Sides Backfiring

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?

Steelers' Germie Bernard Winning WR3 Role vs Roman Wilson | Patrick Graham's Plans for Nick Herbig

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers still have their WR3 battle going after training camp, but Christopher Carter sees Germie Bernard with a clear lead over Roman Wilson. But what has Bernard done to make himself the better fit for Mike McCarthy's offense? And what can Wilson show that could still make him an offensive threat? Chris also dives in on whether Wilson might get a shot on special teams after the Steelers saw Kaden Wetjen almost lose a fumble in their preseason loss to the New York Jets. Also, Chris takes you into his conversation with defensive coordinator Patrick Graham about Nick Herbig and how the Steelers plan to use the edge rusher in several different ways to blitz the quarterback? Herbig's explosiveness is a tool that Graham's defensive plans seek to weaponize against offenses with his three outisde linebacker formations. Finally, Chris goes over what he hasn't seen enough from the Steelers' offensive line, and how McCarthy responded to a question about them when asked about Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle.

Steelers' Giving Will Howard a Big Chance to Prove He's QB2 Over Mason Rudolph? | Drew Allar's Work

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 announced that Will Howard would start in their preseason game against the New York Jets. Is this Howard's big chance to prove he's QB2 for the Steelers? Or just the chance to showcase him as trade bait for NFL teams? Christopher Carter and Mike DeFabo give their insight from watching Steelers training camp and talking to Mike McCarthy, Howard, and Drew Allar. Watch to see McCarthy describe the moments most important for the Steelers' quarterback evaluations as they develop both their young options. Chris and Mike also show what Allar thinks of the development process after interviewing him, and what chemistry can be expected of the Steelers' offense with so many key players missing from practice. DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. haven't practiced in weeks, and Aaron Rodgers looks settled on not playing in the preseason. Will they be able to smoothly run McCarthy's offense by the start of the regular season. Finally, Chris and Mike show a conversation with Steelers rookie safety Robert Spears-Jennings. He's been a starter for the defense throughout training camp, but what will the Steelers do at free safety? Jaquan Brisker hasn't practiced in weeks, while DeShon Elliott is only just now coming back from injury, and Jalen Ramsey has yet to touch the field.

Can Steelers Keep Will Howard and Drew Allar on 53-Man Roster? | Kaleb Johnson Among Toughest Cuts?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers are getting closer to their second pre-season game, and Christopher Carter has his first 53-man roster projection. Can they keep both Will Howard and Drew Allar on the roster? Chris discusses his first roster projection with Nick Farabaugh as they figure out who Steelers have to prioritize in making their roster for the start of the regular season. How many receivers do they keep with Germie Bernard, Roman Wilson along with Ben Skoworonek and Kaden Wetjen? And with so many running backs fighting for spots, will the Steelers have to cut Kaleb Johnson, Eli Heidenreich, Riley Nowakowski, or all three? Which of the Steelers' rookies from their draft class make the squad? Chris and Nick explain why the Steelers must keep more defensive tackles and linebackers to keep up with Patrick Graham's front? Chris officially starts the Gabriel Rubio hype train, and explains why defensive backs might be the group the Steelers use to get around their roster construction issues.
