Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com.Pittsburgh Steelers’ third-down woes hit crisis level as Chris Carter and Alan Saunders break down why Mike McCarthy’s offense ranks dead last in NFL conversion rates for 3rd-and-2 to 3rd-and-6 situations. Is the disconnect between coaching philosophy and roster construction the root cause, or can tweaks to under-center vs. shotgun performance spark change? The hosts spotlight key play-calling inefficiencies, Aaron Rodgers’ missed opportunities, and what needs to shift before the schedule gets tougher.Stars and Skulls grades reveal which Steelers stepped up—like Jalen Warren and Roman Wilson—and who faltered, including a brutal outing for Rayshawn Jenkins and Maxi Iheanacho. Discussions cover Darnell Washington’s end zone dominance, DK Metcalf’s impact, and Robert Spears-Jennings’ breakout in the secondary. Can the Steelers fix their third-down identity crisis before it derails their season? Insightful analysis, stats, and tough questions set the stage for the Steelers’ critical path forward.CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.The Pittsburgh Steelers are 2-2 to start the season, and the way they've constructed their roster differs from how they're being coached. Christopher Carter analyzes the two different visions from Omar Khan and Mike McCarthy with how the strengths of the roster haven't meshed with the way McCarthy's caled plays. What have the Steelers done to play to their strengths where their tight ends Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington could best help the offense? How have they played to the strengths of their offensive line of high draft picks like Max Iheanachor, Troy Fautanu and Zach Frazier? And what have they done with their defense to allow their best playmakers to play to their strengths? Has the Steelers' defensive plan under Patrick Graham that's featured a lot of soft zone coverage gone against their strengths as a pass rush heavy defense? Also, what did the Cleveland Browns expose about the Steelers' offense? And which younger paid veterans need to step up the most for the Steelers between Michael Pittman Jr., DK Metcalf, Nick Herbig and Keeanu Benton?CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.The Pittsburgh Steelers lost the Cleveland Browns 27-24 Thursday night. Christopher Carter explains how they lost could be a bad sign moving forward. The Steelers' defense had some key advantages against the Browns' offense that it didn't exploit, especially when it came to pressuring Deshaun Watson with a banged up offensive line. Though T.J. Watt had a strong game, could the Steelers have a big problem with how their pass rush and coverage mix? Chris sees major issues with their coverage and how the lack of Joey Porter Jr. after he was traded away could have a long term impact on a defense that lost Derrick Harmon and Jamel Dean to injury. Also, Mike McCarthy's offense looked lost and without direction until it was too late against the Browns. Aaron Rodgers was sacked five times and the Steelers had no ready counterpunch for the Browns' mix of press coverage and blitzes until the fourth quarter. While Jaylen Warren, Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington played well, and they got help from DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson, the Steelers' offense was inconsistent yet again, and the Steelers fell to last place in the AFC North.CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.
