Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.
The Pittsburgh Steelers report to training camp tomorrow and have a coming quarterback battle on the depth chart between Will Howard and Mason Rudolph. If the second-year quarterback who won a national championship from Ohio State in Howard is going to beat out the Steelers' longtime backup in Rudolph, Christopher Carter sees one key element he has to show in practices and during the preseason. And it's not about his speed or athleticism, it's about his command of Mike McCarthy's offense. Chris dives into factors he'll be looking for Howard to achieve at training camp and how things could go right or wrong for Howard. Also, fans of the Locked on Steelers call-in line ask more questions about what will happen with Drew Allar in the training camp battle, and whether the selection of the third round quarterback from Penn State was a bad idea when Howard and Rudolph were already to backups slotted to play behind Aaron Rodgers this season.
