About this episode
Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers have seen a rise in their young outside linebacker Nick Herbig, but Christopher Carter thinks that just means they can't trade away Alex Highsmith and must keep them together with T.J. Watt this season. Why? Chris looks at the long season ahead with 13 straight games and no bye week coming up and how the Steelers will need talented depth at the position if the defense is going to rise to be an elite unit. Also, Chris looks at the Calvin Austin injury situation and how the Steelers should handle it. Should they make a big move to get a big-time receiver like A.J. Brown? And after four games, has the offensive line taken steps forward to being a more well put together unit?
