On the Wednesday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette insider Christopher Carter to preview the defense's NFL Week 1 matchup with the New York Jets.
Are Justin Fields, Breece Hall and the Jets' offensive line a worthy early test of coach Mike Tomlin, GM Omar Khan and their attempts to rebuild the team's run defense this season? How much will they miss Derrick Harmon amid his early injury? Can Yahya Black translate his preseason success to possible extended regular season snaps against another team's starters? And what would Cam Heyward's potential absence do the game plan?
Our duo tackles those questions and Heyward's refusal this week to commit to playing in Week 1 if his contract demands are not met. Is Heyward handling this properly? Have Steelers fans been too hard on him? Or do they simply have bad memories of Le'Veon Bell's yearlong holdout in 2018?
