Arthur Moats: Pittsburgh Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger Retires After 2021? T.J. Watt's case for MVP

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.

Why T.J. Watt WILL Break Michael Strahan's Sack Record, Pittsburgh Steelers' Playoff Chances Week 18: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV. T.J. Watt is one sack from tying Michael Strahan's NFL single season sack record, but there's plenty of reasons why he'll break that record when the Pittsburgh Steelers play the Baltimore Ravens Sunday whether Lamar Jackson or Tyler Huntley play. The Steelers need the Jacksonville Jaguars to upset the Indianapolis Colts, and that's happened in each of the past six seasons at least once. But can Trevor Lawrence make it happen in his season finale against Jonathan Taylor? The Ravens might be missing Lamar Jackson, but either way, the Steelers need T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward and Alex Highsmith to wreak havoc on the Ravens' backfield while Ben Roethlisberger, Najee Harris and Pat Freiermuth figure things out for the Steelers offense that might be missing Diontae Johnson in a very important game.

What Quarterback Type Should Pittsburgh Steelers Get After Ben Roethlisberger? Rookie? Vet? Mobile?: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Tony Serino of the AFC North Talk podcast. Ben Roethlisberger's time is most likely coming to an end with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but what kind of quarterback should replace him? Aaron Rodgers? Russell Wilson? Or a cheaper option like Teddy Bridgewater, Marcus Mariota or Mitchell Trubisky? Or a rookie like Kenny Pickett, Carson Strong or Matt Corral? It's time to explore the Steelers' salary cap options with how they want to rebuild their offense. If they invest a lot of capital into quarterback, will it stop them from investing in the offensive line? There has to be a formula to either sign free agent offensive linemen and get a rookie quarterback like Kenny Pickett, or invest in the quarterback in free agency and get a center like Tyler Lindenbaum of Iowa. Also, Tony gives his hot take picks at quarterback. Follow Chris Carter on Twit by Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

Chase Claypool embarrassed himself and his team with his antics last week, and it's clear he got an earful from Mike Tomlin. But Ben Roethlisberger says he won't take part in any talking to the receiver about changing his ways. That sparks an important discussion on the Pittsburgh Steelers' leadership, culture and structure of the organization that has built it to be successful over the last 50 years. Then, Devin Bush also chimed in on how he won't single himself out or any of his teammates, in the Steelers' struggles this season.

Mike Tomlin Should Still Be Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach As They Rebuild After Ben Roethlisberger: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV. Mike Tomlin has received plenty of criticism for the Pittsburgh Steelers being 7-7-1 from local fans, but plenty of praise nationally for how he keeps the Steelers together and competitive even without a complete roster. As Ben Roethlisberger's career is coming to an end, should Art Rooney II move on from Tomlin? Despite the rantings of some, Tomlin's message hasn't gotten stale, and he's found ways to pull a lot more out of players than most coaches would. He has plenty more in the tank to be the team's head coach and see them through whatever rebuilding processes they need to get back to being one of the better teams in the AFC.

STEELERS SWEEP BROWNS, Big Ben's Great Sendoff, T.J. Watt Wrecks Baker Mayfield, Najee Harris Shines: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers got a great win over the Cleveland Browns, sweeping their rivals into a losing record. Ben Roethlisberger got plenty of love from Steelers fans at Heinz Field in his final home game while T.J. Watt had four sacks on Baker Mayfield to get him to 21.5 sacks on the season and Najee Harris ran for 188 yards and a touchdown. T.J. Watt continues to make a push for Defensive MVP of the NFL, while the Steelers kept Myles Garrett quiet. J.C. Hassenhauer's start boosted the offensive line while Baker Mayfield looked helpless against the Steelers' defense. Several role players stepped up in a the win, including Ahkello Witherspoon and Tre Norwood with interceptions, Montravious Adams and Isaiahh Loudermilk with tough defensive line play.

State of Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Baltimore Ravens Rivalry, One Last Battle with Ben Roethlisberger: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Kevin Oestreicher of Locked on Ravens. Ben Roethlisberger's first NFL game came against the Baltimore Ravens and it appears his last regular season game will be against the same opponent as the Pittsburgh Steelers fight to make the playoffs. But the Steelers/Ravens rivalry is one of the most storied in the NFL with legends on both sides, and the Ravens will make Terrell Suggs a guest of honor for the game. Has the rivalry changed from being one more of hatred to one of respect? Will Lamar Jackson play? He didn't practice Wednesday, but if he doesn't play he will never have beaten Roethlisberger in his career. Also, the Ravens' top run defense with Calais Campbell, Brandon Williams and Patrick Queen look to be the team's saving grace. The Steelers need T.J.

Najee Harris Can Carry Future Steelers Offense Like Derrick Henry, Re-Signing Defensive Players: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Tony Serino of AFC North Talk. Najee Harris has over 1100 yards as a rookie and shows the ability to carry the offense after Ben Roethlisberger retires. That could make it much easier for the next quarterback, which might be exactly what Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers need. That would allow them to avoid big name quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson who would take up a huge chunk of the salary cap, and allow the team to invest in the offensive line, reinforce the defense, while staying competitive and paving the way for the true young quarterback heir to take over the team.

Is Claypool a real receiver that could be traded by Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin for real value? The offense will be based on Najee Harris, Pat Freiermuth, Diontae Johnson and an offensive line that should have significant contributions. Does that offense need Claypool? When looking around the NFL, who are the top trade targets that could interest the Steelers? Myles Jack of the Jacksonville Jaguars could be an interesting fit with Devin Bush on the Steelers' defense. What would it take to get him and other trade targets?

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.

But Ben Roethlisberger and the offense couldn't capitalize with only two first downs in the first half. Once Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs caught their breaths, it was over. It was a sad way for Roethlisberger to end his career, but it also was a sign of what's needed for Mike Tomlin to keep building with the roster on-hand. The Steelers may need a re-do at receiver as Diontae Johnson had a bad game and Chase Claypool didn't help either. What's the legacy of Big Ben now that his career is likely over?

But does drafting Kenny Pickett, Malik Willis or Desmond Ridder trump the Steelers' offensive line needs?

Stopping the run is still an issue, but the Steelers are far from out of the playoffs.
