Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.
The Pittsburgh Steelers look to have a completely new offense under Mike McCarthy that will prioritize first down passing success. That's why Michael Pittman Jr. plays a huge role in their plans to change. Christopher Carter explains how Pittman's efficiency at getting open early and winning on quick and short passes will play a big role in McCarthy's new offense with Aaron Rodgers to make the Steelers a more modernized offense that prioritizes successful passing on first down to open up more opportunities. Can that be the factor that provides a balanced offense with DK Metcalf, Jaylen Warren, Rico Dowdle, Pat Freiermuth, Germie Bernard and Darnell Washington? Also, Chris takes your calls on the Locked on Steelers podcast call-in line. Should the Steelers consider trading Keeanu Benton? How does Omar Khan work the market to find the right trade opportunities? And are the Steelers preparing rookie cornerback Daylen Everette for a big role in the secondary?
