Pittsburgh Steelers Must Lean More On Najee Harris, Pat Freiermuth vs. Minnesota Vikings: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Luke Braun of Locked on Vikings for Crossover Thursday. The Pittsburgh Steelers' offense with Ben Roethlisberger needs playmakers to lean on and make life easier. Against the Minnesota Vikings, the Steelers must get rookies Najee Harris and Pat Freirmuth more involved to make up for the offense's issues. The Vikings have several injuries with Christian Darrisaw, Dalvin Cook and others who the Steelers need to take advantage of with T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward to take over the line of scrimmage. But Pittsburgh also has to watch out for Justin Jefferson as a playmaker, which may mean Minkah Fitzpatrick will have to help keep him in double coverage all night.

Free agency gets started this week and the Pittsburgh Steelers have been quiet, but Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin do have a plan in place. The question is when will the Steelers make their big moves? Big names like J.C. Jackson, Terron Armstead, Brandon Scherff and Bobby Wagner are available, but the front office has to be careful not to overspend while also having several areas to address their needs. *Editors Note: This episode was recorded before Tom Brady unretired, and thusly wouldn't account for Ryan Jensen being unavailable due to his return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers because of Brady's decision.

Ben Roethlisberger, Matt Canada, Pittsburgh Steelers' Offense Look Lost in 36-10 Beatdown By Chiefs: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers were clobbered by the Kansas City Chiefs and Ben Roethlisberger's problems with Matt Canada continue to shine as a major reason for the team's struggles, but all hope isn't gone yet. But, there's no doubt that Matt Canada and Roethlisberger aren't ever going to be on the same page and it's dearly costing the Steelers. Patrick Mahomes put up points against the Steelers' defense, but the offense taking four quarters to score a single touchdown was the major issue in the loss. The play calls are bad, and even when they're good, the execution often stinks. It's a cluster of issues to break down from Diontae Johnson fumbling, Kendrick Green not being able to look like an NFL center, and nobody getting on the same page.

Merril Hoge Go Too Far in Devin Bush Criticism? / Connor Heyward, Derek Watt Roles for Steelers: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. Former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Merril Hoge took to the radio waves with criticism of linebacker Devin Bush. In doing so, Hoge called Robert Spillane the team's top inside linebacker, even over Myles Jack. Did he go too far? Looking at Bush's stats before his ACL injury show he does have the instincts to be a good linebacker, but he has to get back to playing at that level. Then it's time to take questions from Locked on Steelers listeners. What are the roles for Connor Heyward and Derek Watt, and are they competing with each other? What's the balance of run and pass plays that Matt Canada will call as an offensive coordinator? How bad would the Steelers have to get for Art Rooney II to even consider firing Mike Tomlin?

The Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Canada must find a way to balance the team's new offense without Ben Roethlisberger. After the Steelers threw the ball a lot more than they ran the ball in 2021, how much will their offense change with Najee Harris as the focal point? And what must Canada do to make sure Pat Freiermuth, Diontae Johnson, Chase Claypool and George Pickens get their fair share of touches and targets to make the Steelers at their best? It will be a tricky challenge for Canada. Also, a caller asks if rookie receiver Calvin Austin III is actually the Steelers' secret weapon on offense.

Which Free Agent QB of Mitchell Trubisky, Teddy Bridgewater, & Jameis Winston, Should Steelers Sign?: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, A report surfaced Monday that the Pittsburgh Steelers were interested in just three free agent quarterbacks in Mitchell Trubisky, Teddy Bridgewater and Jameis Winston, as well as drafting Malik Willis. But who should Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin commit to in the 2022 offseason? Statistics and past success on different types of rosters between those quarterbacks provides a closer look at the Steelers' options. Also, should the Steelers commit to getting a quarterback in the first round of the NFL Draft? With the 20th pick, a star prospect position player could easily fall to them, and you'll want to hear why the NFL Scouting Combine could play a big role in helping the Steelers get the right guy to slip down the picks.

What would Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert need to trade to get Rodgers? And would it be worth it for a 38 year old quarterback?
