Steelers' Mike McCarthy's Style the Right Match w/Physicality of Derrick Harmon, Zach Frazier

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' training camp is nine practices in, and the physicality of the offensive and defensive lines is becoming evident. Derrick Harmon, Yahya Black, Cam Heyward and the defensive line are looking like a tough front and their clashes with Zach Frazier, Troy Fautanu and Mason McCormick's offensive line have been impressive for both sides. Christopher Carter think their physicality might be the key factor that helps the Steelers be bigger competitors this year with Mike McCarthy's system that emphasizes less physical practices and more efficient offense. Also, Chris reveals his most recent players of practice, including Harmon's impressive dominance in goal line drills and Jamel Dean's improved coverage highlights in practice against Aaron Rodgers. How have Drew Allar and Will Howard looked in recent practices and are they any closer to unseating Mason Rudolph on the depth chart? And who are the dark horses of training camp? Gabriel Rubio and Brandon Smith have both been positive surprises.
