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 have invested in the future of their defensive line with Derrick Harmon and Keeanu Benton. But are they the defensive tackle duo of the Steelers' future? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss why Harmon and Benton have promise and the difficult decision with Benton's future and the payday he'll be due with a contract extension or hitting free agency. Could the Steelers have found the duo that will carry on the legacy of Cam Heyward? Or will Omar Khan need to turn back to the NFL Draft to address defensive tackle sooner rather than later? Also, Chris and Nick take your calls from the Locked on Steelers call-in line. Who will be the next Killer Bs of the Steelers? Are there a grouping of players worthy of a catchy nickname that becomes the staple of the team? And what are the most exciting parts of Drew Allar's game that fans could see still show up in the NFL even while he develops?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers' new head coach Mike McCarthy is completely flipping the offensive tendencies of the organization upside down with the west coast offense. Can that change have a similar historical impact to what Dick LeBeau did for the Steelers' defense? Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders discuss how McCarthy's revamp could create new trends with Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard that set long term principles to aid a future franchise quarterback. Also, Chris and Alan discuss what offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio said about Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington in the new offense's plan. Could the Steelers tight ends be underrated in how they can open up the offense? And has the tone around Rodgers missed the entire point of the Steelers' overall quarterback plan?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers have four quarterbacks on their roster and big decisions ahead. Christopher Carter thinks a trade that sends away one of their quarterbacks is inevitable as they forge their plans to find their future franchise quarterback. While that won't involve Drew Allar, could that involve Will Howard or Mason Rudolph? Chris takes questions on the Steelers' quarterback room and how they handle the post-Aaron Rodgers plan. Is there any way Allar or Howard could play well enough that would stop Omar Khan from targeting a first round quarterback in the 2027 NFL Draft like Arch Manning, Julian Sayin, Dante Moore or CJ Carr? Also, Chris takes more questions from Locked on Steelers listeners like whether Jaylen Warren will be the team's true feature running back instead of splitting more reps with Rico Dowdle, when it might be time to trade TJ Watt, and a move the Steelers could've made and still acquired Max Iheanachor in the NFL Draft.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV.

The Pittsburgh Steelers continue the early stages of learning Mike McCarthy's offense, and rookie wide receiver Germie Bernard is right on schedule. Christopher Carter and Jenna Harner discuss what McCarthy said about how Bernard is 'crushing it' while learning all the receiver roles in his west coast offense. Could Bernard with DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr. and Roman Wilson be the receiver group Aaron Rodgers needs for the passing attack to be deadly? Also, Will Howard has been taking second team reps during Steelers OTAs. But does that make him the second team quarterback on the depth chart ahead of Mason Rudolph and Drew Allar? And what did Rodgers say about mentoring both Howard and Allar as young quarterbacks that signals what the Steelers should expect? Finally, Kaleb Johnson didn't have a good rookie season, but he's primed as the team's RB3 option behind Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle. Will he get a chance to prove he's a future starter this year?

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

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers indicated 2026 would be his final NFL season. But he also noted his excitement to work in Mike McCarthy's west coast offense with the Steelers' improved wide receiver group. Tune in to see what Rodgers said about the Steelers' new offense and Christopher Carter's reaction as to why it should mean a much better season for the offense, including DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr., Germie Bernard and even Roman Wilson as significant assets for Rodgers. Also, Broderick Jones spoke to media for the first time since his season-ending injury last year. Chris reacts to what Jones said about his timetable to return, as well as how he could still fit into the Steelers' offensive line. But can the line find chemistry with Troy Fautanu, Max Iheanachor, Gennings Dunker, Zach Frazier and Mason McCormick. How strong can the group grow together with new offensive line coach James Campen?

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' defensive coordinator Patrick Graham spoke Tuesday about his plans to revive the Steelers' defense in 2026. Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh break down what Graham said about his plans to emphasize nickel defensive packages, keep the 3-4 defensive shell, and improve communication. Could Graham figure out the parts of the Steelers' defense that led to breakdowns in communication? And who can be the primary defensive backs that make their nickel package dangerous between Joey Porter Jr., Jamel Dean, Jalen Ramsey, DeShon Elliot and Jaquan Brisker? Also, Chris and Nick discuss offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio's comments about how the team plans to train the Steelers' offensive linemen to play all the positions across the line. But is that the right approach for Troy Fautanu, Mason McCormick, Broderick Jones, Gennings Dunker and Max Iheanachor?

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 saw Aaron Rodgers arrive, sign his new contract and get right to the practice field Monday at OTAs. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders explain why this could be a great sign for Mike McCarthy's offense to hit the ground running with the new pieces added like Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard. How good can the Steelers' offense truly be if Rodgers fully buys in as the leader of the unit and helps the young players lock in for a strong start to the season? Also, Chris and Alan discuss how Troy Fautanu took his first reps of OTAs at left tackle next to Mason McCormick at left guard -- both being position flips for the Steelers offensive linemen. Could this be a significant boost for the Steelers' offensive linemen? And what does this mean for Broderick Jones, Dylan Cook and Max Iheanachor? And Michael Pittman Jr. talks about how the Steelers' receivers are ready to thrive in McCarthy's offense as he gets used to working with Germie Bernard and DK Metcalf. Could the Steelers' passing attack be ready to show a level of versatility it hasn't seen for several years?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers have reportedly agreed to a one-year contract with Aaron Rodgers. But Christopher Carter thinks one overlooked advantage to Rodgers' arrival could be how he helps Drew Allar and Will Howard in their development under Mike McCarthy. Can Rodgers speed up the process for the two young quarterbacks with how they prepare both in their on-field technique and with how they process week-to-week gameplans? Also, Chris talks about the beginning of OTAs and the questions facing the Steelers across the roster. Who will be the Steelers' offensive line with Max Iheanachor as the team's first round pick, Broderick Jones recovering from injury and Troy Fautanu's strong 2025 season. How will the Steelers' receivers line up between DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard? Will the Steelers keep Keeanu Benton at nose tackle?
