08/17/23 • 36 min
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 were in the middle of a debate started by former Steelers safety Ryan Clark who said Steelers receiver George Pickens is more talented than Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson. Patrick Peterson clarified the debate, adding that Pickens' raw talent gives him the chance to be elite, but that Jefferson's polished play makes him a savant, even if Pickens is more "talented" at the position. Chris Carter and Mike DeFabo of the Athletic debate.
Also, both Patrick Peterson and Minkah Fitzpatrick talked about the potential of the Steelers' secondary to be a dangerous unit when it comes to making plays and forcing turnovers. Their communication skills on the field will be key, but so will the versatility and depth of the group to provide Mike Tomlin and defensive coordinator Teryl Austin various options for disguises and play calls. Also, how does Joey Porter Jr. fit in with those plans after his first training camp?

Why Steelers' Deep Passing Game Will Be Back w/Kenny Pickett | Joey Porter Jr. Ready to Start at CB?
Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.
The Pittsburgh Steelers haven't been known for their deep passing game for a few years now, but that's about to change with Kenny Pickett. He won't display the biggest arm in the NFL, but Pickett's accuracy and increased ability to see the field will help Diontae Johnson, George Pickens and Calvin Austin III all become reliable deep ball threats for the Steelers' offense. Austin speaks about his growth in the Steelers' deep passing game.
Also, Joey Porter Jr. returned to practice Tuesday after suffering a minor injury last week. He's set to play in the Steelers' preseason game against the Buffalo Bills Saturday, but will he be ready to start by the week 1? Porter addresses that question.
Finally, Dan Moore Jr. is not letting go of his left tackle starting spot easily for Broderick Jones. But that's a good thing for both competition, and the growth of the Steelers' offensive line. How will that play out? Chris Carter explains his outlook.

Can Pittsburgh Steelers Show Strong Run Game w/Najee Harris/Broderick Jones/New OL vs Buffalo Bills?
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 are set to face the Buffalo Bills this Saturday at Acrisure Stadium for their second preseason game. But Chris Carter and Jenna Harner talk about how the run game should be a focus for the contest, including how Najee Harris looks behind their new offensive line with Isaac Seumalo, and how Broderick Jones performs along with Jaylen Warren.
Also, with T.J. Watt, Joey Porter Jr. and the full starting defense set to play, what are the biggest things that must be seen for the defense against a Bills offense that eviscerated the Steelers' last season? Josh Allen is said to be playing for at least a quarter, which could give the Steelers' defense to put good tape out there about how ready they are to start the season.
And, which Steelers need to show the most to make sure they make the roster? Chris and Jenna explain what must be seen from players like Kendrick Green and Hakeem Butler if they're to have a chance at the final 53-man roster.
