Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' 21-18 loss to the New England Patriots is bigger than just another upset. It's historic, and a bad sign for Mike Tomlin. Tomlin's shortcomings have not gotten in the way of the Steelers before, but now they've led to the worst back-to-back losses in decades, and a playoff appearance is now in doubt. Cam Heyward spoke after the game about how the team has to execute better, and why their coaches' preparation has them ready for what the Patriots would try to do. So if the Steelers were prepared and still failed, what does that mean for Tomlin and the coaches? What can they do? Chris Carter examines what Tomlin's strengths have been, and his weaknesses when it comes to maturing an offense into form. And that leads to how Steelers owner and president Art Rooney II will make the decision on if he should fire Tomlin? Or keep trying to make the right moves to build around his coaching strengths?

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Mike D'Abate of Locked on Patriots for Crossover Thursday. The Pittsburgh Steelers face another bad team at home in the New England Patriots Thursday night. To avoid another bad loss, they'll have to dominate the trenches. That means T.J. Watt, Keeanu Benton, Cam Heyward and Alex Highsmith on defense controlling the Patriots' run game and pressuring Bailey Zappe, while Broderick Jones, James Daniels and Najee Harris get the offense going. But can they rebound after their bad loss to the Cardinals? Chris Carter and Mike D'Abate look over the matchups between both teams and give their predictions on who will win.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV. The Pittsburgh Steelers have to rally quickly to beat the New England Patriots. But have they been taking bad teams too lightly? Cam Heyward, Diontae Johnson and offensive coordinator Eddie Faulkner spoke on that Tuesday, and Chris Carter and Jenna Harner give their opinions to explain what they've heard around the Steelers' locker room. Leadership for the team among the players might be in question, especially with a specific group. They'll also give their week 14 NFL picks, including who will win Steelers vs Patriots.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com. The Pittsburgh Steelers' loss to the Arizona Cardinals exposed issues, but most of them came down to players missing opportunities when plays were to be had. Can that be fixed? Chris Carter and Alan Saunders explain what they saw on the all-22 footage, and why the Steelers aren't doomed, but they still need a collective improvement in their fundamentals from week 13 back to how they executed in other games this season. Also, in the week 13 Stars and Skulls grades, Chris and Alan go over what Kenny Pickett and Mitch Trubisky did wrong, and how their vision continues to hamper the Steelers' offense. Steelers who earned positive grades include Keeanu Benton, who alongside T.J. Watt, Alex Highmsmith and Cam Heyward, could be the real deal on the defensive front. But it's a graveyard week with plenty of skull grades to go around on both sides of the ball. Which players graded the worst? Some players, like Mason Cole, also earned the rarely infamous bus ticket grade for their terrible showing.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' 24-10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals is a sign of bigger problems for the playoff hopeful AFC North team. Mike Tomlin and his team looked flat and disjointed against a team they should've beaten. Kenny Pickett's now injured, which means Mitch Trubisky will have to start for the next few games. But it won't matter if the team doesn't have any of its stars step up in big moments to prevent letdowns like Sunday. Are the Steelers out of the playoff race? No. But they're also not in a comfortable position either after losing a game to maybe the easiest opponent left on its schedule. If the Steelers can't find some element to depend upon to pull itself out of bad spurts like they had Sunday, it could lead to them missing the playoffs, and losing the locker room.

The Pittsburgh Steelers lost 24-10 to the Arizona Cardinals Sunday in an embarrassing performance that dropped the team to 7-5. Blame for the loss spreads everywhere, and especially with Mike Tomlin, whose team looked unprepared in several key elements of a game they needed to win to keep pace in the AFC North race.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV. The Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive coaches received praise from Najee Harris for how they've helped prepare Kenny Pickett and the offense since Matt Canada was fired. More and more players around the locker room are seeing progress, as players like Broderick Jones, Pat Freiermuth, and George Pickens sound off on the positive changes. Against a bad Arizona Cardinals team with an injured defense, Chris Carter and Jenna Harner explain why this HAS to be the week the Steelers' offense finds its potential and puts up big poiints on the scoreboard. Also, Chris and Jenna give all their week 13 NFL picks, including their final score predictions for the Steelers vs Cardinals.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alex Clancy of the Locked on Cardinals podcast for a Crossover Thursday. The Pittsburgh Steelers get to face one of the worst defenses in the NFL in the Arizona Cardinals. Is this Kenny Pickett's breakout game, or a trap game? Pickett and the Steelers offense finally eclipsed 400 yards for the first time since 2020 against the Cincinnati Bengals last week, and this week they have a chance to capitalize against a 2-10 Cardinals team that's struggling on all sides. Chris Carter and Alex Clancy discuss what parts of the game could be dangerous for the Steelers. Between T.J. Watt and the Steelers' defense and the Cardinals' offensive line, Kyler Murray will have a lot to overcome in this matchup. But he also has rookie offensive tackle Paris Johnson Jr., who was picked eight spots before Broderick Jones. What do the Steelers need to do to keep the Cardinals in check?

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Mike DeFabo of The Athletic. The Pittsburgh Steelers saw Diontae Johnson give poor effort on Jaylen Warren's fumble and Mike Tomlin addressed the play during his Tuesday press conference. After Johnson's reported dispute with Minkah Fitzpatrick, his differences with Kenny Pickett, and now this incident, it's reasonable to ask if he's become a problem for the Steelers more than he's an asset. Chris Carter and Mike DeFabo debate that question, and what the offense needs from him to take proper steps forward. Also, the Steelers' defense is now a top defense in scoring, turnovers and interceptions, as well as a top ten team in both rushing and passing touchdowns allowed. All that, and not a single game when Fitzpatrick, T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward played an entire game together. Do the Steelers have an elite defense on their hands? Finally, has the balance between new offensive coordinator Eddie Faulkner and play caller Mike Sullivan fixed the lingering issues from Matt Canada's time at offensive coordinator? Chris Carter and Mike DeFabo discuss.

Chris 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 Kenny Pickett and Pat Freiermuth connect for several big plays against the Cincinnati Bengals. Is that the key to unlock the offense? Maybe not entirely, but it's a step in the right direction. Chris Carter and Alan Saunders discuss whether or not the Steelers' offense is closer to figuring out how to be a consistently productive unit, or if they're on a merry-go-round of mediocrity. Also, it's time for the week 12 Stars and Skulls grades for the Locked on Steelers podcast. T.J. Watt, Pat Freiermuth and Najee Harris are among the top-graded players, but who's the unsung hero of the offensive line that also deserves high praise? Also, how costly has Diontae Johnson's mistakes been? And is Keeanu Benton ready to be the next force on the defensive line next to Cam Heyward?

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Cincinnati Bengals 16-10 Sunday, with Kenny Pickett and Najee Harris showing new hope for the offense. In their first game without Matt Canada at offensive coordinator, the offense gained over 400 yards for the first time since 2020. The structure of the offense under new offensive coordinator Eddie Faulkner and play caller Mike Sullivan showed a real future for the offense to improve in the coming weeks. Pickett didn't throw a touchdown, but he had one of the best games he's played this season, while Harris ran hard and the offensive line blocked well to control the ball. Chris Carter explains why the offense's performance is sustainable, can be improved upon, and could very well be the start of the Steelers being a real AFC threat. Also, the Steelers' defense had another great game. They have now held opponents to 20 points or less for seven straight games, and are a top 10 scoring NFL defense. T.J. Watt continues his Hall of Fame career with 2 more sacks to give him 13.5 on the season, and the defense wins with backups everywhere. Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin deserves more respect for what he's done this season.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers found a way to win an ugly game and beat the Cincinnati Bengals 16-10 Sunday, with Kenny Pickett in the offense eclipsing 400 yards for the first time since 2020, just one game after Matt Canada was fired. Pickett looked sharper, Najee Harris ran hard, and the defense did enough to win the game. Could the Steelers be close to figuring something out? Chris Carter gives his quick reaction to the game.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers face the Cincinnati Bengals Sunday in their first game with Eddie Faulkner replacing Matt Canada as their offensive coordinator. A key weakness on the Bengals' defense opens up a key component for Faulkner to focus the Steelers' offense to win: the run game. Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren have been good this year, but now it's time for them to take the next step. Can Faulkner design the right offense for that to happen, and also help Kenny Pickett get back on track? Also, Chris Carter gives all his NFL week 12 picks, including who he thinks will win when the Steelers take on the Bengals Sunday.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by James Rapien of the Locked on Bengals podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers had their first practice since they fired Matt Canada, and Kenny Pickett is working to improve the offense. But what changes best help him? New offensive coordinator Eddie Faulkner has to channel the right parts of the offense to give them a better chance to support Pickett and get him back to making progress. Also, the Cincinnati Bengals have their own problems on offense with Joe Burrow out for the year. Ryan Browning is their backup quarterback and he'll have to brave the pass rush from T.J. Watt and company. But how will the Bengals try to protect him? Chris Carter and James Rapien discuss what will be the biggest factor in the game, which will most likely include Broderick Jones, Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren, and the Bengals 31st ranked run defense.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Josh Taylor of KDKA-TV and 93.7 The Fan. The Pittsburgh Steelers fired Matt Canada, as Mike Tomlin announced Tuesday. His replacement is running backs coach Eddie Faulkner, and his run focus approach, communication and organization skills could be what the Steelers need to help Kenny Pickett get back on track this season. While quarterback coach Mike Sullivan will call the plays, an offense based in the renewed strength of the offensive line, Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren, can be just what the doctor ordered. Also, the Indianapolis Colts waived linebacker Shaquille Leonard, and the Steelers could use his help at a depleted linebacker position. Can Omar Khan bring Leonard in to pair with Elandon Roberts and boost the defense?

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, with a BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. The Pittsburgh Steelers have FIRED Matt Canada from his offensive coordinator position. Mike Tomlin made the announcement Tuesday after Najee Harris, Diontae Johnson and other Steelers players made it clear they were unhappy with the offense as it was being run with Kenny Pickett at quarterback. Chris Carter gives his reaction to the news, and thoughts on where the offense goes from here. The emergence of Broderick Jones on the offensive line, as well as Jaylen Warren and Najee Harris running the ball strong, suggest that could be a major resource for the second half of the season.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com. The Pittsburgh Steelers' run game is working with Jaylen Warren and Najee Harris running behind Broderick Jones and a stronger offensive line. But Kenny Pickett and the passing offense still struggle. Can the run game save the passing offense and help it find its way back to being useful for the Steelers? Also, Chris Carter and Alan Saunders go over the Steelers' Stars and Skulls grades for their week 11 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Pickett and Dan Moore Jr. are among the worst grades, but look at how Warren and Elandon Roberts received very high marks, and why several players on the Steelers' defense are trending in the right direction.

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers lost 13-10 to the Cleveland Browns, and Kenny Pickett is running out of time to figure out the offense. It was another game when the passing offense looks uncoordinated. That's on Pickett, Matt Canada, and Mike Tomlin. But the Steelers' offense ran the ball better than any opponent had against the Browns all season as Jaylen Warren ran behind a line that created a lot of space on the ground, especially behind Broderick Jones. Is time running out for Pickett to figure it out with this offense? Also, Mike Tomlin continues to dodge the issue in the Steelers' press conferences, and won't call out Pickett or Canada for the offensive issues. Najee Harris seemed very frustrated with the offense, and it continues to look like Tomlin is trying to hide what the the problem is with the offense. Could that lead to an implosion of the Steelers' locker room? The defense looks good, and did enough for the Steelers to win. The Steelers' defense continues to trend upwards with Elandon Roberts playing well, Patrick Peterson coming around, and Keeanu Benton improving with the defensive line. Could that be the key for the Steelers to compete down the rest of the season for the AFC North? It might be, but the Steelers will still need Kenny Pickett to at least provide average offensive play. Chris Carter gives his analysis of the loss and the path forward.
