Steelers' Russell Wilson Making Offense Thrive Through YAC? | Joey Porter Jr.'s Technique Challenges

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 racked up the most yards after the catch of any team in the NFL in their win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Is that a sign of how Russell Wilson will lead the offense into the playoffs? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss how Wilson's usage of screens and underneath passes opened up the deep passing attack in Arthur Smith's playbook. That could be the key to maximizing the potential of George Pickens, Pat Freiermuth, Calvin Austin, and eventually Mike Williams. Also, Chris and Nick dive in on Joey Porter Jr.'s struggles with penalties and how they tie to his technique, as well as Mike Tomlin's comparison of Porter's coverage efforts to guarding Shaq. Finally, Alex Highsmith is back. But how can the pass rush with him, T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward and Nick Herbig improve?
