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

The Pittsburgh Steelers face the Cleveland Browns, but some think it might be a trap game. Christopher Carter explains why the Steelers aren't taking the Browns lightly after talking with Cam Heyward. The Steelers don't see the Browns as a team they can overlook despite their 2-8 record, and the fact that the Steelers haven't won in Cleveland since 2021 is a sharp reminder that they shouldn't. 

Also, Chris breaks down how Russell Wilson must counter the Browns' aggressive defensive plan, including a question to Wilson about when to take shots against the Browns. But comparisons against how Kenny Pickett and Mitch Trubisky played the Browns are good reminders of how Wilson's ability to judge when to take the right shots could be a key factor. 

Finally, Chris also talks about how the Steelers have to take advantage of when Jameis Winston gives them chances to create turnovers. He's done so almost more than any quarterback in the last four weeks in the NFL, which suggests big chances for T.J. Watt, Minkah Fitzpatrick and the Steelers' defense to create turnovers.

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' win over the Baltimore Ravens showed great defense, but also a struggling offense. Russell Wilson moved the ball well, but didn't lead a single touchdown drive. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders discuss the best ways to fix their problems in the red zone, why that might involve Justin Fields, and how they can better involve Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and Mike Williams to make the Steelers' offense more lethal and free up more opportunities for George Pickens. 

Also, it's Stars and Skulls grades day. Broderick Jones and Dan Moore have the worst of the team's marks, but Joey Porter Jr. and Patrick Queen get some big grades as do several players on defense and even some of the players on offense.

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Baltimore Ravens 18-16 Sunday at Acrisure Stadium thanks to elite defensive play. Christopher Carter breaks the win down, and why it was a true team effort. From Patrick Queen, to T.J. Watt, Joey Porter Jr. and even rookie Payton Wilson, the Steelers executed a strong defensive game plan to stop Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry and the top-rated Ravens offense. Listen to locker room and podium reactions by Steelers players like Queen, Watt, Porter, Russell Wilson and George Pickens about the big time win that puts the Steelers at 8-2 and in the driver's seat to win the AFC North. Chris explains what went wrong on offense as the Steelers needed six Chris Boswell field goals, but why Mike Tomlin does have a real contender.

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers added Patrick Queen this offseason to complete their linebacker unit, and he's starting to do that. Mike Tomlin discussed Queen in his Tuesday press conference and how he's grown into the Steelers' defense. Christopher Carter thinks he could be the glue that puts the unit together to make an elite defense. 

Also, Chris asked Tomlin about how Russell Wilson has lived up to what he envisioned when he was named a starter. Chris thinks Wilson could be the right facilitator to maximize the Steelers' offensive output with George Pickens, Mike Williams, Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren, Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington, despite shortsighted criticism from Dominique Foxworth at ESPN.

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' offense has averaged over 30 points per game when Russell Wilson starts. Does he make them a top 10 unit? Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders debate whether the offense is that good yet, or if it still has much improvement to make before earning that respect. But one thing is clear, the offense does have playmakers if they're properly used. 

Also, Chris and Alan go over the Stars and Skulls grades for the Steelers' win over the Commanders. Was Joey Porter Jr.'s bad game a sign of things to come? Has Broderick Jones fixed his injury problems and become a better offensive lineman? And what makes Cam heyward still dominant showing on the defensive line?
