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' offense ranks 15th in scoring in the NFL after just two starts from Russell Wilson and several injuries. Is there reason to believe in hype behind the unit? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss whether that's the case or not after Ben Roethlisberger suggested Steelers fans not believe in the hype train around the offense just yet. But Chris and Nick think there's reason for Steelers fans to be excited. Also, Chris and Nick think there are ways for Mike Tomlin and Teryl Austin to help the Steelers' pass defense with more complex looks. But could that also be part of a long term plan to conserve their more exotic looks for bigger games against the division?Finally, Broderick Jones hasn't been good this season. But are his problems fixable? And how good can this offensive line be in the second half of the season?CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.

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' offense continues to grow with Russell Wilson at quarterback. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders think Wilson and Najee Harris could have the perfect balance to make the offense dangerous. What parts of Wilson's game pairs well with Harris' running style? And what other parts of the offense could make them a better unit in the second half of the season? Also, it's Stars and Skulls grades time, where Chris and Alan go over the most 3-star grades of the season, including Calvin Austin, who they think is an underrated receiver. CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.The Pittsburgh Steelers' 26-18 win over the New York Giants wasn't the prettiest or best win for the Steelers, but it was still a win. And it was a win that showed Pittsburgh's ability to win in different ways with Russell Wilson at quarterback as Calvin Austin had his best day in the NFL yet, while George Pickens, Najee Harris and Pat Freiermuth all still made plays. Can the Steelers' offense be the key to unlocking this team's true potential? What about their game Monday night is encouraging. Meanwhile, the defense didn't play a great game, but they played well enough win as well thanks to T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmiht, who could be flipping sides at linebacker more often. But looking at how the offense lifted up the defense in a hard time, and how the defesne has been very good all season, this may be a sign the Steelers are close to being one of the more balanced teams in the NFL.CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.The Pittsburgh Steelers haven't made a trade to get a big name at wide receiver yet, but Christopher Carter thinks fans should trust Omar Khan's patience. The wide receiver trade market has brought up several big names, but have the Steelers truly missed on Brandon Aiyuk, who's out for the season, Davante Adams, who's struggling on the Jets, or Cooper Kupp, who turns out wasn't being traded by the Rams? Could the Steelers find a way to be a good offense this year without trading for a receiver to partner with George Pickens? Also, Chris explains why the AFC North could be wide open for the Steelers after the Baltimore Ravens' loss to the Cleveland Browns and the Cincinnati Bengals' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. But to walk through the door of opportunity to win the AFC North, the Steelers need Russell Wilson to prove the offense can be consistent and put up points in their Monday night showdown with the New York Giants.CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Patricia Traina of the Locked on Giants podcast for Crossover Thursday.The Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants both have questions at quarterback, but Russell Wilson appears to offer more answers than Daniel Jones. Christopher Carter and Patricia Traina debate the two on today's show. The Steelers appear to be in the final stages of testing out Wilson to see if he'll start over Justin Fields for the rest of the season, while the Giants have benched Jones in recent games for poor play. Does that give the Steelers a clear advantage? Also, both teams boast talented defensive players on their front with Dexter Lawrence leading the NFL in sacks and T.J. Watt being rejoined by Alex Highsmith. Which defensive front has the advantage over the other team's injured offensive line? And does Joey Porter Jr. look like a strong matchup for Malik Nabers?CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.

In this episode of AFC Squad, the crew discusses their team’s Week 7 outcomes, their thoughts on Tua Tagovailoa’s Week 8 return, which second place teams in their AFC Divisions have the best chance at success this season, and whether or not Lamar Jackson is the better MVP candidate than Patrick Mahomes.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Mike DeFabo of the Athletic.The Pittsburgh Steelers' run game has taken off the last two contests with Najee Harris rushing for over 100 yards each time. Have they built a formidable force in their rushing attack despite their long list of offensive line injuries? Christopher Carter and Mike DeFabo think so and go over the film to talk about why the Steelers' rushing success can be sustained throughout the season and help them win big games later this year. Also, Chris and Mike look closer at Joey Porter Jr. and his impressive coverage numbers. Mike Tomlin explained how Porter has improved in his preparation, and that's paid off in big-time matchups with CeeDee Lamb, Davante Adams and others.CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.
