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' offensive plan around Aaron Rodgers looks to incorporate several aspects to its passing game that haven't worked in recent years. But Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh explore the question if that will be enough to make up for the lack of a bonafide WR2 behidn DK Metcalf. From screens, to play action, to attacking the middle of the field, none of that had been a strong part of Arthur Smith's offense with the Steelers and Russell Wilson, but will be a big part of what they do with Rodgers. Also, the addition of Jalen Ramsey changes the game with how the team sees slot cornerback play a role in their defense. How can that play a big role in the 2025 defense being better than recent years? Finally, the Steelers set their practice squad with some signings that brought back familiar players. Which players will be most likely to see action this season?
