Steelers' Offense Good Enough to Believe in Early Hype? | Defense Must Get More Complex vs. the Pass

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' offense ranks 15th in scoring in the NFL after just two starts from Russell Wilson and several injuries. Is there reason to believe in hype behind the unit? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss whether that's the case or not after Ben Roethlisberger suggested Steelers fans not believe in the hype train around the offense just yet. But Chris and Nick think there's reason for Steelers fans to be excited. Also, Chris and Nick think there are ways for Mike Tomlin and Teryl Austin to help the Steelers' pass defense with more complex looks. But could that also be part of a long term plan to conserve their more exotic looks for bigger games against the division? Finally, Broderick Jones hasn't been good this season. But are his problems fixable? And how good can this offensive line be in the second half of the season?
