Steelers' Promoting Teryl Austin to Defensive Coordinator a Good Move, Rising Senior Bowl Prospects: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. Reports have come out that the Pittsburgh Steelers are set to promote defensive backs coach Teryl Austin to defensive coordinator to replace Keith Butler. But was it the right move? Did the Giants force the Steelers' hand? And how will Austin fit with Mike Tomlin, who has called defensive plays for the Steelers for years now? Either way, the Steelers get a guy who knows their players and their system and will get a chance to change things for the better. The Senior Bowl is in the books and the quarterback class showed off their stuff, but should the Steelers be committing hard for Kenny Pickett, Malik Willis, Desmond Ridder or any of the other prospects? Meanwhile, several non-quarterbacks showed up big like offensive tackle Trevor Penning, linebackers Chad Muma and JoJo Domann, as well as defensive tackles Travi by Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

Steelers Close to Big Payout on Minkah Fitzpatrick? / Why Tyrann Mathieu Situation Drags Out: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Josh Taylor of KDKA-TV and 93. The Fan. Sources from different reporters on the Pittsburgh Steelers disagree on when Minkah Fitzpatrick's deal will get done, but the question isn't about when Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin sign Fitzpatrick; it's about how much he gets paid when it happens. He may become the top paid safety in the NFL, but that could have been the Steelers' plan all along after signing T.J. Watt to his deal. Meanwhile, Tyrann Mathieu's visit with the New Orleans Saints appears to mean he's still looking for a team and the Steelers are still in play. Are the Steelers still really a target or is he going elsewhere? Also, what happens if the Steelers trade to get a higher second round pick or a second pick in the first round?

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.

Can Pittsburgh Steelers Afford Aaron Rodgers Trade? / Draft Prospects Whose Stock Rose in Combine: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Jeff Hartman of BehindtheSteelCurtain.com. The Pittsburgh Steelers were rumored to be part of potential trade talks with the Green Bay Packers over Aaron Rodgers. But where did those rumors start? Are they real? 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? Also, with the NFL Scouting Combine over, certain players have improved their draft stock more than others, and that changes the Steelers' outlook on this NFL Draft class.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are set to have a second interview with former Bills GM Doug Whaley, adding to a list of second interviews that includes Louis Riddick. With Brandon Hunt and Omar Khan also in the mix, a big factor in the GM search could be QB management philosophy. The next Steelers general manager will need to have a philosophy that meshes with Kevin Colbert's established foundation with the organization, Mike Tomlin and Art Rooney II. Does that give the upper hand to Whaley and Hunt? And what should be the plan for paying/or not paying Pickett?

Why Mike Tomlin is 'Optimistic' About Matt Canada, and Keith Butler Out For Pittsburgh Steelers: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Josh Taylor of 93.7 The Fan and KDKA-TV. Mike Tomlin basically confirmed the Pittsburgh Steelers WOULD NOT be firing Matt Canada from offensive coordinator, and Keith Butler might be OUT at defensive coordinator. These commitments put the Steelers in an interesting position in the start of the era after Ben Roethlisberger's retirement. What sense does it make bringing back Canada to work with Najee Harris and Pat Freiermuth in a completely reworked offensive line? We look at the reasons for Canada. Also, if Butler is gone as defensive coordinator, who's his replacement? The obvious answer is an internal hire, defensive backs coach Teryl Austin, who has experience as a good defensive coordinator and shows why the Steelers' history of hiring internally has worked more often than not.

Pittsburgh Steelers Should Say NO to Aaron Rodgers / Should Mike Tomlin Still Call Defensive Plays: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Dean Iampietro of WPXI-TV and Joshua Axelrod of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The Pittsburgh Steelers do need a quarterback, but do they need Aaron Rodgers? An expensive free agent would take up salary cap and draft picks in a time Mike Tomlin and Kevin Colbert need to rebuild the rest of the roster. But when Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes are lighting up the NFL, do the Steelers need to do anything they can to reload at quarterback very soon? Meanwhile, recently retired defensive coordinator Keith Butler aired out his takes on the Steelers defense about how Tomlin's been calling the plays since the later days of Dick LeBeau.

The Pittsburgh Steelers began their OTAs for the 2022 season Tuesday, and quarterback Mitch Trubisky had a strong tone about his intentions for this season. He both acknowledged the drafting of Kenny Pickett in the first round and the challenge of replacing Ben Roethlisberger's as part of this season's challenge, but nothing that would disrupt his focus from being a leader at quarterback for the Steelers. Also, Stephon Tuitt and Diontae Johnson were no-shows. But that doesn't mean as much for future projections, as Mike Tomlin mentioned after practice.

Part of that insight indicates Tyrann Mathieu might not be in the Steelers' free agent plans at all, and the real target might just be to bring back Terrell Edmunds, but there's still also a chance at the hard-hitting Cowboys safety Damontae Kazee. Also, Desmond Ridder continues to rise up the draft boards, but is he worth the Steelers taking him at 20th overall? And how hard should the Steelers go at wide receiver in this draft class?
