Steelers' New Additions Michael Pittman Jr., Germie Bernard Set Aaron Rodgers to Lead Efficient Unit

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

The Pittsburgh Steelers' several additions over this season like Michael Pittman Jr., Germie Bernard and Rico Dowdle have set up Aaron Rodgers with a chance to lead the offense to be an efficient unit. Christopher Carter explains how the differences in the Steelers' offensive roster can better suit Rodgers' skillset. But while one caller thinks this could make Rodgers elite, Chris clarifies and thinks while Rodgers is past his days of being elite, he can lead an offense to produce highly efficient numbers. Chris also explains that the offensive line's growth can help the Steelers a great deal when it comes to red zone production after they finished in the middle of the league in red zone touchdowns. But could their progress really mean that much of an increase in scoring this season? And finally, could the Steelers' coaching focus on developing Drew Allar be a sign that they see him more than just a backup quarterback?
