Steelers' Derrick Harmon, Yahya Black Defensive Game-Changers in 2025? | What to Do with Will Howard

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' defensive line got good news with Derrick Harmon's injury not being a long term issue and saw Yahya Black blow up in their final preseason game. Christopher Carter takes you inside the Steelers locker room where he talked with both of them and explains why he thinks the defensive line can be game-changers for the defense in 2025? Also, Chris goes over his evaluations for Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu throughout the preseason, as both have shown good progress in their fundamentals as pass protectors and run blockers. Could they be ready to be the foundation of the offensive line? Finally, Chris goes over what the Steelers' options might be at backup quarterback with Will Howard and Skylar Thompson after Thompson played well in the preseason and Howard sat out due to injury.
