Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com.
The Pittsburgh Steelers didn't come to a contract extension with Joey Porter Jr. in time, and now rumors swirl about a potential trade. Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss what the price for Porter might be for Omar Khan, and why it should focus on NFL Draft capital to help with their search for their next franchise quarterback. But should the Steelers be trying to trade Porter? Both Chris and Nick still think the best plan for the Steelers' future includes Porter as their long term cornerback. But will Porter return to the practice field and be ready to play soon?
Also, Chris and Nick discuss what they liked about Patrick Graham's defense from their game against the Atlanta Falcons. Not only did Graham move T.J. Watt around the defense, but he also lessened his snap count to keep him fresh for the biggest moments of the game. Can Graham's plan make the Steelers' defense more explosive with big plays from Watt, Nick Herbig, Alex Highsmith and company.
Finally, Chris and Nick talk about what they didn't like about the Steelers' run game and what must happen to get more out of Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle.
