Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers have some players on their roster who could attract NFL Draft trade capital. Christopher Carter goes over some of the players who could be at the top of that list. While he's gone over players like Alex Highsmith before, other players could be a better fit like Broderick Jonees and Keeanu Benton. But could Joey Porter Jr. be another name for that list if he doesn't sign a contract extension this season? Also, Chris takes questions from listeners on the Locked on Steelers call-in line. Could the Steelers target a trade for a big name veteran like Vita Vea? Or a return of George Pickens? And is Jaylen Warren a top 10 running back in the NFL? Or will Rico Dowdle make that hard to argue as they split touches in Mike McCarthy's offense?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers' new coaching staff under Mike McCarthy has a lot of expectations. But Christopher Carter doesn't see that meaning they'll be on a short leash with the Rooney family. Brian Angelichio and Patrick Graham along with McCarthy are going to be given the same patience and grace that Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher and Mike Tomlin were given as the Steelers have been the only NFL franchise to have just three head coaches since 1969. That patience has helped them become one of the premier franchsie in the NFL, and it should be expected to be extended to McCarthy. But what could McCarthy do that would eventually put him on a hot seat with the Steelers in short order? Also, Chris takes your questions from the Locked on Steelers call-in line. Will Angelichio's background as a tight ends coach lead to the Steelers' increased usage of tight ends? What are the best dates and suggestions to plan for a visit to Steelers training camp at Saint Vincent College? And what can be expected of the Steelers' plans for the offensive tackle rotation with Troy Fautanu, Broderick Jones, Max Iheanachor and Dylan Cook all fighting for spots?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers have some training camp battles coming up over the next month, but Christopher Carter sees a key one over wide receiver in Germie Bernard vs Roman Wilson. Bernard may be the rookie second round pick everyone is excited about, but Wilson is a veteran fighting for his career, and the two of them are going to fight it out for the WR3 spot in Mike McCarthy's offense. Who will be the next option after DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. for Aaron Rodgers to target? What are their strengths and how are they different? Also, Chris takes your questions on the Locked on Steelers call-in line. What are the key differences between their new special teams coach Danny Crossman and his predecessor Danny Smith? What did Smith do well that Crossman might struggle at? And how could Crossman surpass the Steelers' special teams coach of the last 13 seasons? Finally, Chris takes a question as to whether Michael Pittman Jr. is the Steelers next Hines Ward. But Chris sees another receiver on the rostere who is more likely to take on the mantle of what Ward did and meant to the Steelers of the 2000s.

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers have defensive backs they're confident about, but do they have a true free safety? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss how Jalen Ramsey, Jaquan Brisker and DeShon Elliott all can be playmakers in the secondary, but that they're all more suited to defend the slot or play strong safety. But can any of them be a true free safety to protect against the deep ball the way Minkah Fitzpatrick did for years at an all-pro level? Also, Chris and Nick answer your questions from the Locked on Steelers call-in line. Can the Steelers' offense return to being a top ten scoring unit under Mike McCarthy? Aaron Rodgers having new weapons in Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard could help, but there could be plenty more bumps in the road for the offense to have a great year. Finally, Chris and Nick answer a question on whether the Steelers could pull off a trade with the Dallas Cowboys to get a first round pick by sending Alex Highsmith and Kaleb Johnson away. Could that be the shakeup the Steelers need to land an elite NFL Draft quarterback prospect like Archie Manning?
