Steelers' Addition of Asante Samuel Jr. Part of New Look w/Jalen Ramsey at Safety to Fix Defense

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Nick Farabaugh. The Pittsburgh Steelers signed Asante Samuel Jr. as a free agent cornerback to add their new look secondary with Jalen Ramsey at safety. But is this the right move to fix the defense? Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh discuss the merits to the plan and whether or not it can hold up down the stretch of the season against Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen and other stars on powerful offenses. Should Samuel line up at outside cornerback across from Joey Porter Jr., or play slot cornerback? Also, Mike Tomlin acknowledged how the Steelers' plan on offense needed to be better to support Aaron Rodgers after a bad game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Can a change to Arthur Smith's plan be the key to getting the Steelers' offense on track? Or does the offense need Rodgers to simply work the ball more to Pat Freiermuth and less targeted players who can balance out the unit?
