Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

Are the Pittsburgh Steelers legitimate AFC contenders, or did T.J. Watt cover up their biggest problems in Week 1?
On this edition of the Locked On Steelers Squad Show, award-winning sports broadcaster and play-by-play announcer Tyler Feldman is joined by 15-year NFL veteran and former Steelers offensive lineman Wayne Gandy and Local 3 anchor Ben Bobick to preview Pittsburgh’s Week 2 showdown against the defending AFC champion New England Patriots.
The Squad debates whether the Steelers’ offense can overcome its troubling Week 1 performance, what Aaron Rodgers must do to outplay Drake Maye and whether Pittsburgh’s dominant pass rush can force the Patriots quarterback into another mistake-filled afternoon. They also identify the most favorable and concerning matchups, put Pittsburgh’s biggest issues on the Panic Meter and deliver their bold predictions and final scores.
Can the Steelers pass their Foxborough fraud check and improve to 2-0, or will a desperate Patriots team expose Pittsburgh’s flaws?
Subscribe, join the conversation and leave your final score prediction in the comments!

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 didn't come to a contract extension with Joey Porter Jr. in time, and now rumors swirl about a potential trade. Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss what the price for Porter might be for Omar Khan, and why it should focus on NFL Draft capital to help with their search for their next franchise quarterback. But should the Steelers be trying to trade Porter? Both Chris and Nick still think the best plan for the Steelers' future includes Porter as their long term cornerback. But will Porter return to the practice field and be ready to play soon?
Also, Chris and Nick discuss what they liked about Patrick Graham's defense from their game against the Atlanta Falcons. Not only did Graham move T.J. Watt around the defense, but he also lessened his snap count to keep him fresh for the biggest moments of the game. Can Graham's plan make the Steelers' defense more explosive with big plays from Watt, Nick Herbig, Alex Highsmith and company.

Finally, Chris and Nick talk about what they didn't like about the Steelers' run game and what must happen to get more out of Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle.

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' first game under Mike McCarthy didn't feature more scoring, but the offense was different. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders explain why, and show how Aaron Rodgers' usage of the deep middle part of the field doubled from the rate he used it last year. Though DK Metcalf had some key drops and the Steelers' offense missed on some big opportunities, Chris and Alan think McCarthy's offense being more aggressive with its passing attack could make for a good plan in the future.
Also, it's the first Stars and Skulls grades of the season. T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith and the linebackers get the top marks. But who on the offense also received star grades after a low-scoring affair? And which players scored the lowest? Did Metcalf get low enough for the Bust Ticket grade?

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?

The Pittsburgh Steelers grind out a scrappy 20-13 win over the Atlanta Falcons, powered by TJ Watt’s electrifying pick-six and a swarming defensive front. Can this disruptive defense carry the Steelers to a strong start despite offensive question marks?
Host Tyler Feldman is joined by former Steeler Wayne Gandy and Pittsburgh native Ben Bobick to dissect the Steelers’ slow start, shaky run game, and DK Metcalf’s underwhelming performance as the supposed number one receiver. The crew debates the Joey Porter Jr. contract standoff after his surprising Week 1 absence, breaks down key plays from Alex Highsmith, Payton Wilson, and Chris Boswell, and looks ahead to a pivotal road matchup against the New England Patriots. Can Mike McCarthy’s squad fix their offensive woes, or are defensive heroics all they can rely on? Don’t miss this spirited postgame analysis as the Steelers eye divisional supremacy.
