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 completed their 10th practice of training camp Monday. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders discuss if they have the deepest defense in the NFL with Nick Herbig, Keeanu Benton, Sebastian Joseph-Day and Asante Samuel Jr. coming off the bench. Through ten practices, Chris and Alan have seen the Steelers' backup defensive players thrive, including new faces like rookies Daylen Everette and Gabriel Rubio, and rising young playmakers like Derrick Harmon and Yahya Black. Could this defense's depth be its saving grace? Also, Chris and Alan give their top players of practice and update their view on the Steelers' current quarterback battle. Are the quarterbacks ready for the next stage of competition with the pre-season right around the corner? Chris and Alan discuss where they see Aaron Rodgers, Mason Rudolph, Will Howard and Drew Allar in their progress as a room after ten training camp practices. Could Kaleb Johnson be in danger of losing his RB3 spot to Travis Homer or Lew Nichols? And what might be the toughest positions to squeeze an extra player onto the final 53-man roster?
