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

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?
