Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

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 made several changes to their offense with a trade for Michael Pittman and drafting Germie Bernard. But with Mike McCarthy calling the plays can the be a top 10 offense? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh debate if the changes have been enough to make them dangerous with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback? Or are there too many rookies and young players in the offense to expect them to thrive so quickly? Also, Chris and Nick discuss how footage of Drew Allar's footwork drills from Steelers rookie camp shook the internet with overreactions galore. But what actually can be revealed from how McCarthy worked so closely with Allar on technique? And is Chris Boswell's new contract too much money for a kicker? Finally, what can be expected from Kaden Wetjen's contributions both to the receiver group and on special teams?

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 showed where they'd prefer Max Iheanachor and Gennings Dunker to play on their offensive line during rookie camp. That might cause a shuffled on the offensive line, but it should still work for the offensive line Omar Khan, Andy Weidl and Mike McCarthy are putting together. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders dig into how Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu may have to switch positions more, but that won't be an obstacle that stops the Steelers from finding their offensive line of the future with new position coach James Campen. Also, Chris and Alan discuss how McCarthy's offense plans to deploy more 11-personnel packages that favor their receivers DK Metcalf, Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard. But is that the right plan for an offense that's invested more into its offensive line than any other position in the NFL Draft over the past four years? And could that mean a pass-heavy offense is the plan even with the expected return of a 42-year old Aaron Rodgers?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers placed an early emphasis on Drew Allar's development during rookie camp, and Christopher Carter thinks Mike McCarthy's approach is the right plan. Allar's fundamentals were always a question at Penn State, and McCarthy focused on the basics for Allar's first practices with the Steelers. Listen to McCarthy explain what they worked on to Chris, and why he's excited to apply his quarterback process to Allar. Could the Steelers have the right plan to build the foundation for Allar in hopes of finding their franchise quarterback? Chris also discusses what he learned about Germie Bernard's versatility in training camp, with McCarthy explaining why the Steelers are impressed with their rookie wide receiver, and Bernard noting how he's already focused on learning the entire playbook instead of just one position to line up. And while Aaron Rodgers did arrive in Pittsburgh, he didn't sign a deal with Omar Khan. Should the Steelers worry about the future hall of fame quarterback not returning for 2026?

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 finally will get Aaron Rodgers to arrive at their facility and sign his new deal, locking him in for the 2026 season. Christopher Carter and Jenna Harner explain why that's a good thing for the Steelers in their development plan. While Rodgers doesn't make the team a Super Bowl contender and won't be around for a long time, his leadership can help young players develop like Will Howard, Drew Allar, Troy Fautanu and Germie Bernard. Could that be a setback for the Steelers' future draft plans if they have a positive season but don't win a Super Bowl? Chris and Jenna also discuss what the biggest talking points are for Steelers rookie camp this weekend. Where will rookie offensive linemen Max Iheanachor and Gennings Dunner line up in their initial practices? And will Germie Bernard be made to line up both in the slot and at outside receiver positions? And how much pressure is on Allar to thrive quickly considering the Steelers may take a first round pick quarterback in next year's NFL Draft?

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers have two project quarterbacks in Drew Allar and Will Howard, but they shouldn't feel rushed to start them. Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette argues why the Steelers should wait and let both their young quarterbacks in Allar and Howard develop and adjust for a year so they don't ruin them by throwing them into the fire. Whether Aaron Rodgers shows up or not, the Steelers could use a more developed version of both quarterbacks to battle as potential starters in 2027 against even a first round pick quarterback. Chris also takes your questions on the Locked on Steelers call-in line. Did Omar Khan strategize to get better value with Max Iheanachor and Germie Bernard than picking KC Concepcion or Omar Cooper and resorting to a later round offensive tackle? Could Steelers fans be unfair towards Iheanachor because of how the situation played out with Makai Lemon? And which college quarterbacks does Christopher Carter have his eye on next season for a chance at becoming a much stronger NFL Draft quarterback class?
