Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are 2-2 to start the season, and the way they've constructed their roster differs from how they're being coached. Christopher Carter analyzes the two different visions from Omar Khan and Mike McCarthy with how the strengths of the roster haven't meshed with the way McCarthy's caled plays. What have the Steelers done to play to their strengths where their tight ends Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington could best help the offense? How have they played to the strengths of their offensive line of high draft picks like Max Iheanachor, Troy Fautanu and Zach Frazier? And what have they done with their defense to allow their best playmakers to play to their strengths? Has the Steelers' defensive plan under Patrick Graham that's featured a lot of soft zone coverage gone against their strengths as a pass rush heavy defense?
Also, what did the Cleveland Browns expose about the Steelers' offense? And which younger paid veterans need to step up the most for the Steelers between Michael Pittman Jr., DK Metcalf, Nick Herbig and Keeanu Benton?
