Steelers' Offense a Top 10 Unit w/Mike McCarthy, Improved WRs? | Drew Allar's Footwork Being Rebuilt

5/13/2026
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?

Steelers OL Shuffle Works for Max Iheanachor, Gennings Dunker | Mike McCarthy's Pass-Heavy Offense

5/12/2026
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?

Steelers' Mike McCarthy Has Right Approach to Drew Allar | Germie Bernard Shows Versatility Early

5/11/2026
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?

Steelers' Aaron Rodgers Arrives, But Will That Backfire? | Pressure on Drew Allar to Thrive Quickly?

5/8/2026
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?

Steelers Shouldn't Rush Drew Allar, Will Howard to Start, Trust Mike McCarthy's Development Coaching

5/7/2026
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?

Steelers MUST Sign Nick Herbig to Extension, Plan More Usage | Patrick Graham's Plan for T.J. Watt

5/6/2026
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 have some tough contract decisions to make soon, but Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh think Nick Herbig must get a contract extension. Could Herbig be signed while the team is still paying T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith to be top tier edge rushers? And how can defensive coordinator Patrick Graham use the Steleers' pass rushers differently than previous years? Could the plan be more sophisticated with more sub package football that benefits Derrick Harmon, Cam Heyward and Keeanu Benton to contribute to the pass rush? Also, Chris and Nick answer questions on how the Steelers' previous draft misses relate to the current draft class with Max Iheanachor, Germie Bernard, Drew Allar and Gennings Dunker. Has Omar Khan put the Steelers on a path to fix the draft mistakes of Kevin Colbert?

Steelers' Derrick Harmon, Run Defense Ready for Rebound in 2026 Despite Lack of Draft Investment?

5/5/2026
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 didn't invest much in their run defense in the NFL Draft, but Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Alan Saunders explain why they could still rebound in 2026. Derrick Harmon, Keeanu Benton, Cam Heyward and the addition of Sebastian Joseph-Day make for a more complete defensive line if they can keep the unit healthy for most of the season. But does Omar Khan need to find a better nose tackle for the future? And how can they work better with Patrick Queen, T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig to better prepare for running quarterbacks like Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen? Also, Chris and Alan discuss whether the Steelers are losing their patience with Aaron Rodgers after a recent report suggests they have a new deadline for a decision. But would the Steelers truly pass on the future hall of fame quarterback to have Mason Rudolph, Drew Allar or Will Howard as a starting quarterback? And a caller chimes in from the Locked on Steelers call-in line about a recent take Alan gave about whether quarterbacks make receivers or receivers make quarterbacks.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have two project quarterbacks on their roster in Drewe Allar and Will Howard, but that shouldn't stop them from making big picks at the position in the near future. Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette answers a fan's question as to whether the Steelers should focus on developing Allar and Howard for a few years and forget about drafting a top tier quarterback prospect in the coming seasons. Chris also answers more questions about how Mike McCarthy, Tom Arth and Frank Cignetti Jr. as a trio of quarterback whisperers, Daylen Everette as a cornerback prospect, Kaden Wetjen as a receiver, and whether the Steelers are committed to a plan to draft for character over talent.

Steelers' Omar Khan Steers Ship in Right Direction, But Must Learn Fast from NFL Draft Mistakes

4/30/2026
Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers are being steered by their general manager Omar Khan now that Mike Tomlin is gone. Khan's been at the center of some good decisions in their roster rebuild, but Christopher Carter sees mistakes he must learn from this year's NFL Draft. But was it the mistakes to not trade up for Makai Lemon and settle for Max Iheanachor, or the reach for Drew Allar at quarterback in the third round? Christopher also takes your questions on the Steelers through the Locked on Steelers call-in line. Were the Steelers too patient to go for a wide receiver when they wound up with Germie Bernard? And did the Steelers draft too many specialists this year like Kaden Wetjen, Eli Heidenreich and Robert Spears-Jennings when they already have players like Max Hurleman and Sebastian Castro on the roster?

Steelers' Placement of UFA on Aaron Rodgers Spells Trouble | Can Mike McCarthy Develop Drew Allar?

4/29/2026
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 placed a UFA tender on Aaron Rodgers, which spells trouble for Omar Khan and Mike McCarthy in their negotiations. Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh explain what the process is for the Steelers in their continued wait for Rodgers to show up and sign a deal with the team. But could Khan's move have just angered Rodgers and forced a problem? Or is the deal just a necessary insurance plan to protect the team if Rodgers decides to join a different roster? Also, Chris and Nick discuss the rationale behind McCarthy's commitment to develop Drew Allar despite the several weaknesses he shows on tape. Could the Steelers have wasted a pick on Allar when it's clear they plan to spend a high pick on a quarterback in a future draft? Or is this a good long term plan for Allar and Will Howard? Finally, Chris and Nick discuss how Germie Berrnard, DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. could make the offense more quarterback friendly than it has been in several years.

Steelers Prefer Drew Allar's Traits in Coming Quarterback Battle w/Will Howard? | Omar Khan Blinked?

4/28/2026
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 drafted Penn State quarterback Drew Allar while already having Will Howard on the roster. Could Omar Khan and Mike McCarthy prefer Allar's traits in the coming quarterback battle? Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders discuss how Allar and Howard compare as quarterbacks and how the Steelers can try to develop both. Has McCarthy assembled a coaching staff under McCarthy that's ready to bring up two young quarterbacks at the same time? And is Allar more likely to be a career backup quarterback or does he have the skills to riser to a starter role? Chris and Alan discuss what might happen with Allar even if Aaron Rodgers shows up to start at quarterback. And why do they think Omar Khan might've had the worst draft process of his four years being the Steelers GM?

Steelers Draft Steals/Reaches: Germie Bernard, Gennings Dunker Best Picks | Drew Allar Way Too Early

4/27/2026
Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' NFL Draft hit on several positions, but which of their picks were steals and which were reaches? Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette gives his analysis of the picks with a focus on their five picks in the top 100. From Max Iheanachor, to Germie Bernard, Drew Allar, Daylen Everette and Gennings Dunker, which picks were of the best value? And which picks passed up on key picks from other positions? Did Omar Khan's picking Iheanachor overlook much higher ranked first round prospects like Dillon Thieneman, Omar Cooper Jr. and K.C. Concepcion? Was Bernard the best fit for the second round? Could the Steelers have done better to pick Domonique Orange, A.J. Haulcy or Emmanuel Pregnon instead of Allar? Chris reviews all the options in this draft to determine where the Steelers could've better hit their needs, or if they came away with the right values in the end.

Steelers Caught Unprepared by Eagles Trade for Makai Lemon | Max Iheanachor Brings Athleticism to OL

4/24/2026
Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Arizona State offensive tackle Max Iheanachor with their first round pick of the NFL Draft. But that only happened after the Philadelphia Eagles caught them woefully unprepared with their trade up to get USC receiver Makai Lemon. Christopher Carter gives his reaction to how poorly Omar Khan played the situation, where he thought the Steelers were getting their top target and instead got played by the Dallas Cowboys and the Eagles. How could the Steelers have better handled their first round? And could this be a huge mistake? Chris also breaks down the upside of drafting Iheanachor, an athletic offensive tackle who could have a bright future in the NFL. But where will he fit on the Steelers' offensive line? Will he replace Broderick Jones at left tackle even though Iheanachor was exclusively a right tackle? Will he be the final piece to complete the Steelers' offensive line of the future? And who are the top players left for the Steelers to target in the second and third rounds?
