Steelers' Young Playmakers Will Howard, Drew Allar, Germie Bernard Pass First Preseason Tests

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers won their preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers 28-9 where their offensive young upstarts had strong debuts. All three quarterbacks Mason Rudolph, Will Howard and Drew Allar were efficient in executing Mike McCarthy's offense. While Rudolph's solid showing was expected, both Howard and Allar played in their first NFL appearance and passed their tests with flying colors. Christopher Carter gives what he thought was most impressive about the Steelers' young quarterbacks in their first performances on the field, as well as a conversation he had with Allar after the game. Also, Chris also goes over Germie Bernard's strong showing and what stood out about the rookie receiver's playmaking skills. Other players who impressed included Asante Samuel Jr., Daylen Everette, Robert Tonyan and Gabriel Rubio. But the Steelers weren't perfect in their preseason debut, either. Plenty of penalties and lack of discipline were seen, including big issues with the offensive line that allowed three sacks, plenty of pressures, and a penalty from Troy Fautanu that wiped out a touchdown. Do the Steelers have an offensive line issue?
