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 know they need Germie Bernard and Roman Wilson to step up this week with Michael Pittman Jr. out due to injury. But can they be part of the adjustments the Steelers need to beat teams that deploy a lot of man coverage? That's something Christopher Carter and Jenna Harner discuss on today's Locked on Steelers podcast as the Steelers prepare to face an Indianapolis Colts team that uses man coverage second-most of all teams in the NFL. Will they be ready to help DK Metcalf and Aaron Rodgers overcome that challenge on Sunday.

Also, Chris and Jenna give their picks for week five in the NFL and their keys for the Steelers to beat the Colts. The Steelers face a Colts offense that uses a lot of play action, while the Steelers themselves have been one of the most efficient play action offenses in the NFL but haven't used play action that much. Could that be a key for the Steelers to pull off a win?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jake Arthur of Locked on Colts for Crossover Thursday.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Indianapolis Colts both are both 2-2 squads looking for their identities. The Steelers have looked like they'd best be a power running team with Jaylen Warren and their built offensive line. Can the Steelers' offense have its best day yet against a defense that's mostly struggled in several phases.

How can the Steelers take away star running back Jonathan Taylor in order to get Daniel Jones to make more turnover worthy plays? The Steelers' defense must stuff Taylor and force the Colts to be about their passing attack, where Jones has struggled mightily in protecting the football. Could the Stee,ers find a way to channel their strength before the Colts use theirs?

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 been one of the most efficient under-center offenses in the NFL, but they've also barely used those formations. Can the Steelers solve why there's been such a disconnect between using a key feature of their offense? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh explore that question, and show why under-center offense has been such a benefit to Aaron Rodgers, Jaylen Warren and the Steelers' offensive line.

Also, Chris and Nick discuss Patrick Graham's defensive plan for the secondary now that Joey Porter Jr. is gone. While some may want Graham to call more man coverage, the roster's limitations show why that could be an issue with Jalen Ramsey, Asante Samuel Jr., Jaquan Brisker and the defensive backs.

Finally, what did McCarthy really mean with his "clean house" comments on Monday?

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

Pittsburgh Steelers’ third-down woes hit crisis level as Chris Carter and Alan Saunders break down why Mike McCarthy’s offense ranks dead last in NFL conversion rates for 3rd-and-2 to 3rd-and-6 situations. Is the disconnect between coaching philosophy and roster construction the root cause, or can tweaks to under-center vs. shotgun performance spark change? The hosts spotlight key play-calling inefficiencies, Aaron Rodgers’ missed opportunities, and what needs to shift before the schedule gets tougher.

Stars and Skulls grades reveal which Steelers stepped up—like Jalen Warren and Roman Wilson—and who faltered, including a brutal outing for Rayshawn Jenkins and Maxi Iheanacho. Discussions cover Darnell Washington’s end zone dominance, DK Metcalf’s impact, and Robert Spears-Jennings’ breakout in the secondary. Can the Steelers fix their third-down identity crisis before it derails their season? Insightful analysis, stats, and tough questions set the stage for the Steelers’ critical path forward.

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 2-2 to start the season, and the way they've constructed their roster differs from how they're being coached. Christopher Carter analyzes the two different visions from Omar Khan and Mike McCarthy with how the strengths of the roster haven't meshed with the way McCarthy's caled plays. What have the Steelers done to play to their strengths where their tight ends Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington could best help the offense? How have they played to the strengths of their offensive line of high draft picks like Max Iheanachor, Troy Fautanu and Zach Frazier? And what have they done with their defense to allow their best playmakers to play to their strengths? Has the Steelers' defensive plan under Patrick Graham that's featured a lot of soft zone coverage gone against their strengths as a pass rush heavy defense?

Also, what did the Cleveland Browns expose about the Steelers' offense? And which younger paid veterans need to step up the most for the Steelers between Michael Pittman Jr., DK Metcalf, Nick Herbig and Keeanu Benton?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost the Cleveland Browns 27-24 Thursday night. Christopher Carter explains how they lost could be a bad sign moving forward. The Steelers' defense had some key advantages against the Browns' offense that it didn't exploit, especially when it came to pressuring Deshaun Watson with a banged up offensive line. Though T.J. Watt had a strong game, could the Steelers have a big problem with how their pass rush and coverage mix? Chris sees major issues with their coverage and how the lack of Joey Porter Jr. after he was traded away could have a long term impact on a defense that lost Derrick Harmon and Jamel Dean to injury.

Also, Mike McCarthy's offense looked lost and without direction until it was too late against the Browns. Aaron Rodgers was sacked five times and the Steelers had no ready counterpunch for the Browns' mix of press coverage and blitzes until the fourth quarter. While Jaylen Warren, Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington played well, and they got help from DK Metcalf and Roman Wilson, the Steelers' offense was inconsistent yet again, and the Steelers fell to last place in the AFC North.

Pittsburgh's frustrations mount after a 27-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football. Joey Porter Jr.’s departure to the Dallas Cowboys leaves a glaring hole in the Steelers’ secondary, sparking questions about Omar Khan’s management and the organization’s direction. Can Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy right the ship, or is Pittsburgh on the brink of a rebuild?

Host Tyler Feldman and Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette break down Jaylen Warren’s standout performance, the offensive line’s ongoing struggles, and the lack of leadership on defense. Key discussion points include how the Joey Porter Jr. saga affects locker room morale, the impact of critical roster decisions, and the Steelers’ diminishing intimidation factor in the AFC North. With a pivotal home game against the Indianapolis Colts looming, the pressure is on—will the Steelers find answers or spiral further?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Spencer German of Locked on Browns for Crossover Thursday.

The Pittsburgh Steelers face the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night football with two young and talented set of linemen. The Steelers' offensive line took off when Max Iheanachor got his first start of the season last week and sprung Jaylen Warren for one of the best games of his career. Now they face Mason Graham and Jared Verse, a duo of young playmakers who've been disruptive in the early part of the season.

NOTE TO FANS This episode was recorded before the Joey Porter Jr. trade.

Also, how good has Deshaun Watson been for the Browns and the offense? Can he, Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion be problems for the Steelers' pass defense? Christopher Carter and Spencer German break down the top matchups that could decide this AFC North showdown.
