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 had a lively and interesting week one of training camp. Christopher Carter gives you his top performers so far and the biggest difference under Mike McCarthy. From the offense's DK Metcalf, Germie Bernard and Pat Freiermuth, to the defense's Asante Samuel Jr. and Jaquan Brisker, a lot of the team's top performers showed the Steelers could be ready to be better attacking through the air and defending the pass. Aaron Rodgers has shown how to get more out of McCarthy's offense with the wider vareity of quick passing concepts that can open up both the run game and the deep passing game. And, Chris goes into the biggest differences from McCarthy's practices so far from how Mike Tomlin ran training camp. McCarthy's practices focus more on individual drills and working on fundamentals without competing against each other, while Tomlin's practice grilled fundamentals through competition betwen the offense and defense. But which method is better for the Steelers in the long run? Finally, Chris gets you ready for week two of training camp as the pads are about to go on and the team is about to hit for the first time this year. Who are the players Chris is looking to see the most out of when those pads go on? Can the offensive line show major progress this year with Troy Fautanu, Mason McCormick and Zach Frazier? And can the younger defensive linemen in Derrick Harmon, Keeanu Benton and Yahya Black become a dominant force of the future?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers completed day two of training camp with Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf showing more of the potential of Mike McCarthy's offense. Christopher Carter gives his recap of the Steelers second day of training camp and how Rodgers and Metcalf took over the practice with their chemistry. Their abilities to work different parts of the offense and show how McCarthy's scheme could bring out the best parts of the offense with Roman Wilson, Michael Pittman Jr., Pat Freiermuth and Germie Bernard took over the practice. Chris gives his insight into how this can help find more ways for the passing attack to open up the offense. Also, Chris talks about how McCarthy makes his practices different from Mike Tomlin. What are the Steelers' Six as McCarthy describes them? And how do they help the team practice fundamentals instead of having more competitive practice periods? And how has Patrick Graham's secondary worked on diguises in practice for Jaquan Brisker, Darnell Savage, Brandin Echols and DeShon Elliott to already show good signs of progress?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense won the first day of training camp with big plays from Patrick Queen, Asante Samuel Jr. and other defenders. But the offense still showed impressive synergy in how they operated with Aaron Rodgers operating Mike McCarthy's offense again. Christopher Carter breaks down his insights from watching practice and takes you to Saint Vincent College to show his discussions with players about what they're seeing as the Steelers begin training camp. What is there to like about how the defense has started training camp under Patrick Graham? How are Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard connecting much better than the Steelers' offensive playmakers last year? And what has the first look at the quarterback battle between Mason Rudolph and the young quarterbacks Will Howard and Drew Allar looked like?

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 announced that both Jalen Ramsey and Joey Porter Jr. would start Steelers training camp on the PUP list, while Broderick Jones was back and healthy to practice. Christopher Carter and NIck Farabaugh talk about the circumstances of the two top cornerbacks who are set to miss the start of training camp. Could Ramsey's injury be much worse than the Steelers are letting on? And could Porter's injury ust be part of the negotiation games between his agent and the team as he waits for a big contract extension? Also, Jones is back and ready to compete at offensive tackle. But what position will he play? Will he return to right tackle and start over Dylan Cook? Will he be Mike McCarthy's swing tackle to move around the offensive line? And does McCarthy's declaration that the Steelers won't tackle during live training camp practices mean they're at risk at becoming a worse run defense?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers report for training camp today. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders give you their top breakout candidates to watch during camp. While rookie Germie Bernard will draw a lot of attention, Chris and Alan look at young veterans like Payton Wilson, Roman Wilson and Jack Sawyer as they work to make their impact on the roster. But could Daylen Everette also be a sleeper to push the veteran cornerbacks for playing time? Also, Chris and Alan take your calls on the Locked on Steelers call-in line. Is Mike McCarthy's coaching staff better adapting their coaching style to their roster than Mike Tomlin's staff? And why do Patrick Queen and Aaron Rodgers stand to gain the most benefits with the coaching staff change?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers report to training camp tomorrow and have a coming quarterback battle on the depth chart between Will Howard and Mason Rudolph. If the second-year quarterback who won a national championship from Ohio State in Howard is going to beat out the Steelers' longtime backup in Rudolph, Christopher Carter sees one key element he has to show in practices and during the preseason. And it's not about his speed or athleticism, it's about his command of Mike McCarthy's offense. Chris dives into factors he'll be looking for Howard to achieve at training camp and how things could go right or wrong for Howard. Also, fans of the Locked on Steelers call-in line ask more questions about what will happen with Drew Allar in the training camp battle, and whether the selection of the third round quarterback from Penn State was a bad idea when Howard and Rudolph were already to backups slotted to play behind Aaron Rodgers this season.

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.
