Steelers' Coaches Making Personnel Usage Mistakes? | Fixing 3rd Down Defense | Calvin Austin Returns

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Mike DeFabo of the Athletic. Do the Pittsburgh Steelers have problems with how they're using their personnel? Christopher Carter and Mike DeFabo explore that question after Chris' question to Mike Tomlin about how the Steelers underused Nick Herbig in their loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Could that be the biggest game-planning issue? Or is that an aspect of their game that will self-correct as Tomlin insinuated? Also, Chris and Mike discuss the Steelers' issues with their 3rd down defense, what's become their biggest challenges and how they can fix it before facing the best 3rd down offense in the NFL in the Green Bay Packers. Finally, Calvin Austin's set to return this week. How will the return of the team's second-best receiver impact their game plan on offense?
