Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback room is one of the biggest storylines of the offseason, and the Squad Show is breaking it all down. 

Tyler Feldman, Ben Bobick and former Steelers offensive lineman Wayne Gandy discuss the latest developments in Pittsburgh's QB room, including Aaron Rodgers' mentorship of rookie Drew Allar, the battle between Mason Rudolph and Will Howard for the QB2 spot, and what the ideal outcome for Allar's development would be this season. 

Plus, as Locked On celebrates its 10-year anniversary, the crew debates the greatest Pittsburgh Steelers player to ever wear No. 10. Is there any debate beyond Kordell Stewart? 

And later, the panel tackles one of the most fascinating draft questions of the year: Would the Steelers consider taking a chance on former Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby after his controversial gambling-related NCAA eligibility battle and entry into the NFL Supplemental Draft? 

🔥 Topics Include: 

• Aaron Rodgers mentoring Drew Allar 

• Mason Rudolph vs. Will Howard for QB2 

• Best-case and worst-case scenarios for Allar 

• Greatest Steelers No. 10 of all-time

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' new west coast offense under Mike McCarthy isn't just a setup for Aaron Rodgers, but also for a future franchise quarterback. Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh explain all the elements of McCarthy's version of a west coast offense, which has also been called a Texas coast offense. Could this set up a strong future built around a sturdy offensive line with Troy Fautanu and Zach Frazier and a skill posiiton group with Germie Bernard, Pat Freiermuth and DK Metcalf? And how could all of this set the stage for a future first round pick quarterback? Also, a listener hits the Locked on Steelers call-in line to ask about the Steelers' plans at nose tackle. Should the role go to Keeanu Benton, Yahya Black, or Cam Heyward?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers have had several big wins over the last decade. So Christopher Carter ranks those wins with his top 10 Steelers victories since 2016 as part of the Locked on Podcast Network's 10-year anniversary celebration. Relive the best moments from the days of the Killer Bs with Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, Le'Veon Bell and Ryan Shazier when the Steelers were Super Bowl contenders.

And what moments when the Steelers defeated Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Joe Flacco and the Ravens were the best during those eras?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' defenses have recently depended on turnovers to be a big part of what made them successful. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders discuss whether new defensive coordinator Patrick Graham will be keep that culture going or create a new priority for the Steelesr to focus on that could help the defense win in different ways. What's the best plan for a defense that still has TJ Watt, Cam Heyward, Joey Porter Jr. and Jalen Ramsey? Also, quarterback prospect Brendan Sorsby is trying to enter the supplemental NFL Draft after he was caught gambling. While he's talented, should the Steelers consider taking on a known athlete who gambles against his own team? And where would Sorsby stand against next year's projected quarterback class with Arch Manning, Dante Moore, Jayden Maiava and LaNorris Sellers?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers are following a different trend from the top defenses in the NFL this year with more split-safety defensive shells. Christopher Carter explains how that can work for Patrick Graham's new defense along with the team's safeties Jaquan Brisker, DeShon Elliott and Darnell Savage. But are the Steelers making a mistake by not trying to set their own trends and being a copycat of what teams like the Seahawks and Rams have done with their defenses? Also, Chris takes your calls on the Locked on Steelers call-in line. Are the Steelers overlooking how dangerous a weapon Jaylen Warren can be for their offense? Or are they working on the best mix of how to use him in the offense with Rico Dowdle and the receiving threats like DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr.? Chris explains why even though Warren isn't the most talked about Steelers player, he's still a vital piece to the offense. And could the Steelers use Riley Nowakowski or Darnell Washington in a unique fullback role?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers focused on their young quarterbacks Drew Allar and Will Howard during the last days of OTAs practices. While they won't start ahead of Aaron Rodgers, Christopher Carter and Jenna Harner discuss when and how their chance to be the team's franchise quarterback could come. Can Allar or Howard be ready to rise up and take their chance to start? Or are they destined to sit behind an eventual first round pick quarterback without a chance to ever prove themselves? Also, Chris and Jenna take your calls from the Locked on Steelers call-in line. What are the chances the Steelers' chase for a franchise quarterbacks scares away key veterans from signing with or sticking with the team? Could a tank season or two lead to veterans like TJ Watt, Cam Heyward, Jamel Dean or future targets not wanting to play for the Steelers? And what are the chances Darnell Washington becomes a bigger receiving threat in the passing attack under Mike McCarthy?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive line's chemistry between Troy Fautanu, Zach Frazier and Mason McCormick sets the bones for the unit to be elite. Christopher Carter shows his conversation with McCormick about the offensive line and why their improved chemistry is still the core to the team's future. Can they be the group that propels the Steelers to being real playoff contenders? Also, Chris takes your questions on the Locked on Steelers call-in line. Rumors swirl about the possibility of Baker Mayfield being a target for the Steelers in free agency next season. But would that get in the way of the Steelers plan to find their franchise quarterback in the NFL Draft? And could the Steelers even afford the Mayfield in the open free agent market at 32 years old? Also, Nick Herbig's pass rush numbers when T.J. Watt is on the field vs. when he's not shows some important numbers the Steelers need to consider.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are taking care of business! On Wednesday night's weekly edition of the Locked On Steelers Squad Show, Tyler Feldman, Wayne Gandy, Ben Bobick, and Christopher Carter break down Darnell Washington’s new 4-year, $42 million contract extension and what it means for the future of the Steelers offense.

🔹 Darnell Washington signs a 4-year, $42M extension 

🔹 Joey Porter Jr. contract projection and timeline 

🔹 Which Steelers legend would help this team the most? 

🔹 Food for Thought segment 

🔹 Live Steelers discussion and fan reactions

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 are paying both their top tight ends Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington good money, which means Mike McCarthy's got big plans for them. Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh show you what McCarthy said during Steelers OTAs about how he'll incorporate the tight ends into the offense and how Washington can help the offense get a 90s-style feel. Could Freiermuth and Washington become the key weapons for Aaron Rodgers this season? And how will they balance with DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Germie Bernard and the receivers? Also, Will Howard has taken the first team reps at OTAs while Rodgers has been away. But is he on the path to become the team's QB2 over Mason Rudolph? Chris and Nick give you their insights from Steelers practice and explain what Howard must do to get the job during training camp. And could Kaleb Johnson lose his spot on the roster as the team's running back to Eli Heidenreich or Travis Homer?

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 have some tough decisions to make about who they want to give contract extensions among the team's young stars. Or do they? Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders rank their top five current Steelers to give contract extensions, including Joey Porter Jr., Zach Frazier Troy Fautanu and more. Who else makes the list? And is there any way for the Steelers to pay all of them to stick around long term? What's Omar Khan planning? Also, Chris and Alan discuss what Aaron Rodgers will need to do to become a beloved player in Steelers lore, and whether the inside linebackers are the weakest group on the team. But even if they are, that might be a good sign considering how deep they are with Patrick Queen, Payton Wilson, Malik Harrison and Cole Holcomb.
