Why Steelers' Offense w/Aaron Rodgers Will Be Better Than 2024 | Jalen Ramsey, DBs a Top 5 NFL Unit? Aug 15, 2025

Show notes

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 completed their joint practice against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh give their insights. Both think the Steelers' offense can be better with Aaron Rodgers than it was in 2024, and they explain what aspects of the offense can be expected to improve. The key they focus on is efficiency, and that comes down to timing with DK Metcalf and the receivers, as well as chemistry betwen Broderick Jones and the offensive line with Jaylen Warren and Kaleb Johnson. Also, can Jalen Ramsey lead the Steelers' defensive backs to be a top five pass coverage unit? Chris and Nick discuss that as well as their expectations for Saturday night's preseason matchup with the Buccaneers.

Steelers' WR2 Need Require a Big Trade/Move After Training Camp? | Yayha Black, Biggest Camp Winners Aug 14, 2025

Show notes

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers have completed training camp, but do they still need to add at wide receiver? Christopher Carter and Jenna Harner tackle that question. Calvin Austin, Roman Wilson and Jonnu Smith all look like players who could help fill the void at WR2, but could Omar Khan still want to make a big trade for a player like Terry McLaurin or sign Amari Cooper? Also, Chris and Jenna go over their biggest winners of training camp, like Yahya Black, Brandin Echols, and others on the depth chart. Finally, what's the biggest part of the joint practice between the Steelers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that Chris and Jenna are excited to see? Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr. and Darius Slay vs. Mike Evans, Emeka Egbuka and the Buccaneers' receivers is at the top of the list.

Show notes

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

Steelers' Broderick Jones, O-Line Sharpen on the Details in Preseason | Payton Wilson Takes Over Aug 11, 2025

Show notes

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

From Wilson's run defense to his swagger, could he be an underrated key for the defense?
