Steelers' Aaron Rodgers, Arthur Smith Overcomplicating Passing Attack? | Why Not Use Pat Freiermuth?
12/30/2025 | 36 mins.
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' passing attack suffered Sunday against the Cleveland Browns where Aaron Rodgers and Arthur Smith made the plan too complicated. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders talk about not just the on-field decisions of Rodgers that held the Steelers back, but also the personnel decisions by Smith that haven't allowed the Steelers in a rhythm. Could that be the key to a week 18 turnaround? And why won't they just use Pat Freiermuth more? Also, it's Stars and Skulls grades day, and Alex Highsmith continues to rack up the high marks. Who joined Highsmith on the defense with high grades? And who had the worst grades for a putrid day from the offense?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.

Steelers, Aaron Rodgers Miss Big Opportunity, Avoid Key Playmakers | Can Team Rebound vs Ravens?
12/29/2025 | 30 mins.
Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.The Pittsburgh Steelers lost a 13-6 road game against the Cleveland Browns to fall to 9-7 on the season. Aaron Rodgers outsmarted himself and focused too much of his targets to Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Scotty Miller while the better playmakers like Kenneth Gainwell, Pat Freiermuth and Jaylen Warren were ignored in the biggest parts of the game. Christopher Carter gives his reaction to the game, and what the Steelers must learn about themselves and how they must win next week against the Baltimore Ravens while DK Metcalf still serves his suspension. Also, Chris talks about how the defense has improved and performed to shut down the Browns' run game and Shedeur Sanders. But can that defense stand up to Derrick Henry and the Ravens' rushing attack next week?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.
