Description

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter to analyze the team's situation at running back ahead of an NFL Week 12 matchup with the Chicago Bears.


Should Kenneth Gainwell get more touches after his big outing against the Bengals? Would that be difficult with how well Jaylen Warren is playing? Or is OC Arthur Smith handling everything just right? And how does Kaleb Johnson factor into the conversation?


Our duo tackles those questions then talks defensive backs. Is Joey Porter Jr. underrated because of his penalties? How have coach Mike Tomlin's adjustments in the secondary helped him? Do up-and-coming teammates like Kyle Dugger, James Pierre and Brandin Echols have staying power? And what does Jalen Ramsey offer at safety that's different from what the Steelers have deployed at that position in the recent past?
