On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter to analyze the team's offensive line.
Are young players like Broderick Jones, Troy Fautanu, Zach Frazier and Mason McCormick actually improving? Or benefitting from heavy sets that include tight ends like Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington and Jonnu Smith? And better-than-expected mobility from QB Aaron Rodgers? Can Jones and Fautanu take the next steps in their growth and become good NFL tackles before the NFL season ends? Is guard Isaac Seumalo an underrated piece of the group? And how much credit do coach Mike Tomlin and OC Arthur Smith deserve for the development of McCormick?
Our duo tackles those questions, then pivots to the secondary. Who is struggling most in his role right now between Joey Porter Jr., Darius Slay Jr. and Jalen Ramsey? Does Brandin Echols deserve more playing time? And how are safeties DeShon Elliott and Juan Thornhill holding up as GM Omar Khan's answers at the position following the Minkah Fitzpatrick trade?
