Ep 2016Steelers Plan to Keep Mike Tomlin | Ruse for a Trade? | Teryl Austin, Pat Meyer, Targets of Change

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly keeping Mike Tomlin, and that causes big questions for how the team needs to move forward with any plans of change in 2025. Christopher Carter examines why there could be a ruse for a trade at play, even if it's a very outside chance of happening from Omar Khan. But if Art Rooney does plan to make changes for the Steelers' coaching staff, where can that happen? Chris looks at defensive coordinator Teryl Austin and why his plans had their good days, but haven't helped the defensive front enough. What do the Steelers need at defensive coordinator? And do the Steelers need a change in philosophy as a team? Is being a physical group not a goal in 2025? Chris says tell that to the Philadelphia Eagles, Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions and others who are proving that way of football can still be successful. But that does mean the team may need better efforts on its offensive line, and why Pat Meyer might be another target of change.CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.

Ep 2015Steelers Outplayed/Outcoached in 28-14 Playoffs Loss to Ravens | Major Questions on Team's Future

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.The Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the Baltimore Ravens 28-14 in the playoffs, being eliminated in the first round for a fifth time in the last seven seasons. Christopher Carter breaks down more than just the loss, but the major problems abound for the Steelers that face them heading into the offseason. Mike Tomlin's team looked like a strong defensive squad for most of the season, but was flat out destroyed by Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, and their usage of the read option, something they'd seen on tape from before. While Tomlin most likely won't be fired, Art Rooney II has major questions on whether trading Tomlin is an option, and if not, how the organization makes adjustments to field a more dominant team in the future.CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.

Ep 2014Steelers' Defense Ready to Rebound vs. Ravens, Lamar Jackson? | Can Russell Wilson Adjust QB Vision?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Mike DeFabo, Steelers reporter for the Athletic.The Pittsburgh Steelers face the Baltimore Ravens Saturday and will attempt to bounce back from their loss to the Ravens just weeks ago. Christopher Carter and Mike DeFabo think the defense has better answers for Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, but will it be enough to get a win? The keys could come down to Cam Heyward and the defensive line winning the middle of the trenches and Joey Porter Jr. leading a strong man coverage defense. Also, Chris and Mike discuss what Russell Wilson to adjust to how defenses have played him over the last month. Can Wilson engineer the offense to take advantage of what the Ravens think he won't do--use intermediate passing concepts? George Pickens, Pat Freiermuth, Calvin Austin, Mike Williams and Darnell Washington all need to be part of the Arthur Smith gameplan to set the Steelers up for an upset. Finally, Chris and Mike give their picks for Steelers vs. Ravens and all of the first round of the NFL Playoffs.CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.

Ep 2013Steelers Can't Rely on 'Playoff' Lamar Jackson as a Thing | Cam Heyward, D-Line Key to Playoff Upset

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Kevin Oestreicher of Locked on Ravens for Crossover Thursday.The Pittsburgh Steelers have beaten the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson several times, but they shouldn't count on the 'playoff'Jackson narrative to save them Saturday. Christopher Carter and Kevin Oestreicher talk about how that narrative's been overblown for years, and why the Steelers must still bring their A-game to stop Jackson and Derrick Henry. But is the key to doing that on Cam Heyward and the Steelers' defensive line? That's a factor that didn't work in the Steelers' favor the last time, but has several times in his rivalry. If they can control the interior, it could let T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith have a strong game. Finally, what parts of the Steelers' team scares the Ravens the most? Kevin gives his thoughts on how George Pickens could make things different for Russell Wilson, and how the Steelers' pass rush could play the biggest factor of all.CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.

Ep 2011Steelers' Plan vs Lamar Jackson Not About Change, But Stick to Strengths | Non-Conservative Control

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.The Pittsburgh Steelers have the right plan to face Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens, which is why Christopher Carter thinks the defense must stick to its strengths, and not change the plan. T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith and Cam Heyward have been very strong players all season, and need to be again Saturday. The plan should be to let them focus to take away Jackson and Derrick Henry on the ground, and force the Ravens' passing attack to have to be elite against tight coverage. Also, Russell Wilson and the Steelers' offense must possess the ball and control the pace of the game, but that doesn't mean being a run-heavy team. Mike Tomlin and Arthur Smith's plan still needs to take to the air, but earlier in drives enough that allows the Steelers to still have a balanced attack that includes the run and wins time of possession considerably. Finally, the Steelers are going to need young players to step up on both sides of the ball if they want to win in the playoffs. Chris focuses on specific players like Joey Porter Jr., Keeanu Benton, Zach Frazier and George Pickens who will be instrumental to upsetting the Ravens.CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.

Ep 2010Steelers Must Let Russell Wilson Be Aggressive vs Ravens | Set Tone w/George Pickens, Pat Freiermuth

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.The Pittsburgh Steelers' offense has stalled for a month. Christopher Carter thinks they can take a page out of the defense's book and turn up the aggression to turn things around against the Baltimore Ravens. The key will be Russell Wilson using the best parts of the offense, which means getting the ball to George Pickens and Pat Freiermuth early to create faster starts. Also, Chris gives his Stars and Skulls grades on the Steelers' loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, including multiple Bust Ticket grades. Who graded out the worst in the loss?

Ep 2009Steelers' Offense Too Stubborn to Change for Faster Starts? | Defense Rediscover Formula to Playing?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.The Pittsburgh Steelers know they'll play the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL playoffs. But Christopher Carter has a challenge for the offense to change if the team wants to start faster. Can Mike Tomlin and Arthur Smith give the offense a chance to do that with changing up the team's plan on first downs? Russell Wilson may not be playing well, but switching up how and when he's called to make certain reads could create better playmaking scenarios for George Pickens, Pat Freiermuth, Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren. Also, Chris breaks down what the defense did to rediscover its formula to playing well in their game against the Bengals. Despite the loss, the Steelers' defense held the NFL's top passing offense in check and kept them under 20 points for the first time in over two months. Patrick Queen explains some of the things the Steelers' defense cleaned up. Finally, Chris addresses the reset mentality the team seems to be embracing for the playoffs. It's the right thing to say, but it has to be followed with action.CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.

Ep 2008Steelers' Russell Wilson, Offense, Continue Slump in Loss to Bengals | Changes Needed for Playoffs?

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.The Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the Cincinnati Bengals 19-17 Saturday at Acrisure Stadium. Christopher Carter breaks down how Russell Wilson and the offense have continued their slump for a month and why it's killing the team's chances. But it's not just Wilson, as George Pickens' drops, the offensive line and mistakes abound led to several missed opportunities on offense.Meanwhile, the Steelers' defense gave a strong performance to limit Joe Burrow and the Bengals to a single touchdown. Cam Heyward played with the flu, while Beanie Bishop nabbed an interception and the team combined for four sacks. Has the defense figured out what's been wrong with it? Finally, Chris gives his outlook on where the Steelers' playoff situation stands. The Steelers need the Los Angeles Chargers to lose to the Las Vegas Raiders if they want the 5-seed, otherwise the Steelers are in the 6-seed and will face the Baltimore Ravens next week. But regardless of who they play, Chris points out several things that must change if the Steelers hope to beat anybody.CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by James Rapien of Locked on Bengals for Crossover Thursday.The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals face off Saturday in a game that has major playoff implications for both teams. The Bengals must win to stay alive, the Steelers' winning could get them the AFC North or at least a playoff game against the Houston Texans instead of the Baltimore Ravens in the first round.

For Mike Tomlin, it's not as complex as a fix as you might think when going back to the tape from Sunday. Also, Chris gives you updates on T.J. Watt and George Pickens, as both were designated as "did not practice," but encouraging signs have been seen that could mean either or both play in the pivotal AFC North game against the Ravens Saturday. Finally, Chris points out where the several parts of the Steelers' roster could turn into boosts for the team because of their youth down the final stretch to the NFL playoffs.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.The Pittsburgh Steelers know they'll be missing George Pickens for at least their game against the Philadelphia Eagles, maybe later as well. Christopher Carter explains why Russell Wilson could have the key to keeping the offense dangerous during that time. Listen to parts of Mike Tomlin's press conference Chris breaks down with film to show how it's possible for the Steelers' passing attack to make due with Pat Freiermuth, Mike Williams, Scotty Miller and others. Also, Chris discusses how the Steelers' offensive line has shown progress, especially between Zach Frazier, Mason McCormick, and Broderick Jones. That unit will get one of its biggest tests of the year when it faces the Eagles' defensive front, including Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis. Finally, Chris also discusses how Tomlin addressed the Steelers' plan to stop Saquan Barkley. The Eagles' rushing attack is one of the best in the NFL, but the Steelers' run defense is also one of the best in the NFL.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to rest George Pickens against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Also, the Steelers' win was a true team effort as the defense had a strong performance, led by Cam Heyward's two sacks on Jameis Winston. Combine dominance on 3rd down with a Keeanu Benton interception and shutting down the run, and the Steelers have a true balanced team, that Heyward even calls a "complete team."

Ep 1981Steelers' Russell Wilson Making Offense Thrive Through YAC? | Joey Porter Jr.'s Technique Challenges

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 racked up the most yards after the catch of any team in the NFL in their win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Is that a sign of how Russell Wilson will lead the offense into the playoffs? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss how Wilson's usage of screens and underneath passes opened up the deep passing attack in Arthur Smith's playbook. That could be the key to maximizing the potential of George Pickens, Pat Freiermuth, Calvin Austin, and eventually Mike Williams. Also, Chris and Nick dive in on Joey Porter Jr.'s struggles with penalties and how they tie to his technique, as well as Mike Tomlin's comparison of Porter's coverage efforts to guarding Shaq. Finally, Alex Highsmith is back. But how can the pass rush with him, T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward and Nick Herbig improve?CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.

Ep 1979Steelers' 44-38 Win Over Bengals Shows Offensive Potential in Russell Wilson/Najee Harris' Balance

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Cincinnati Bengals 44-38 Sunday at PayCor Stadium with Russell Wilson and Najee Harris leading the way on offense. Christopher Carter dives in on why their balance was a great sign for Mike Tomlin's team. George Pickens, Pat Freiermuth, Jaylen Warren, Calvin Austin and Cordarrelle Patterson all played big roles for the Steelers' win. The Steelers' defense also made some big plays with T.J. Watt moving around and getting two sacks, while also causing a turnover. Combined with Nick Herbig's strip-sack fumble that turned into a Payton Wilson touchdown and Cam Heyward's tipped pass that turned into a Donte Jackson interception, the front had a good day. Joey Porter Jr., not so much. But it was enough to get the job done. Finally, the Steelers sit atop the AFC North with a 1.5-game lead over the Ravens and the Bengals and Cleveland Browns basically out of the race. Are the Steelers the real AFC contenders they appear to be?CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.

Ep 1975Steelers Refocus Practice to Fix Red Zone Issues | T.J. Watt, Minkah Fitzpatrick Aren't Liabilities

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.The Pittsburgh Steelers took their mini-bye week to refocus practice to fix red zone issues on offense and defense. Christopher Carter discusses what Mike Tomlin revealed about their plan, and what will have to be addressed by the Steelers to get back to being one of the best red zone defenses and improve from being one of the worst red zone offenses. Also, Chris goes into the Steelers locker room to talk with Alex Highsmith about his potential return and what the Steelers can do better to free up T.J. Watt from being double and triple-teamed as much as he has been. Finally, Chris also asks Tomlin about what Minkah Fitzpatrick has been doing for the Steelers' pass defense. While the All-Pro safety hasn't produced an interception yet this season, his role has made the Steelers the best pass defense at defending the middle of the field, and the stats make it clear.CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.The Pittsburgh Steelers have seen T.J. Watt get less pressures over the past three games as teams continue to throw more double teams, triple teams and chip blocks his way. Christopher Carter thinks that Mike Tomlin and Teryl Austin must do more to disguise where Watt is coming from and move him around the defense more often. But will that be enough to give more chances to bea game wrecker? Also, a report surfaces that the Steelers will extend Russell Wilson in the offseason. Is that the right move?

Ep 1970Steelers Focused to Make Browns Not a Trap Game | How Russell Wilson Must Counter Aggressive Defense

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.The Pittsburgh Steelers face the Cleveland Browns, but some think it might be a trap game. Christopher Carter explains why the Steelers aren't taking the Browns lightly after talking with Cam Heyward. The Steelers don't see the Browns as a team they can overlook despite their 2-8 record, and the fact that the Steelers haven't won in Cleveland since 2021 is a sharp reminder that they shouldn't. Also, Chris breaks down how Russell Wilson must counter the Browns' aggressive defensive plan, including a question to Wilson about when to take shots against the Browns. But comparisons against how Kenny Pickett and Mitch Trubisky played the Browns are good reminders of how Wilson's ability to judge when to take the right shots could be a key factor. Finally, Chris also talks about how the Steelers have to take advantage of when Jameis Winston gives them chances to create turnovers. He's done so almost more than any quarterback in the last four weeks in the NFL, which suggests big chances for T.J. Watt, Minkah Fitzpatrick and the Steelers' defense to create turnovers.CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com.The Pittsburgh Steelers' win over the Baltimore Ravens showed great defense, but also a struggling offense. Russell Wilson moved the ball well, but didn't lead a single touchdown drive. Christopher Carter and Alan Saunders discuss the best ways to fix their problems in the red zone, why that might involve Justin Fields, and how they can better involve Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and Mike Williams to make the Steelers' offense more lethal and free up more opportunities for George Pickens. Also, it's Stars and Skulls grades day.

Chris explains what went wrong on offense as the Steelers needed six Chris Boswell field goals, but why Mike Tomlin does have a real contender.CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.
