Mike Tomlin Should Still Be Pittsburgh Steelers Head Coach As They Rebuild After Ben Roethlisberger

Chase Claypool Needs To Grow Up, And Mike Tomlin Needs Leaders To Enforce Steelers' Old Standards: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts Locked on 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. Plus, with the AFC North's struggles, the Steelers still aren't out of the division race, or the playoff race. Follow Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.

How Much Change Do Pittsburgh Steelers Need On Offense? Ben Roethlisberger's Heir? Mike Tomlin?: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Adam Bittner of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The Pittsburgh Steelers certainly need chances on their offense moving forward, but what would be the best moves? How should they try to replace Ben Roethlisberger? With a veteran? With a rookie? What should be the positional priority in free agency? The NFL Draft? With Adrien Klemm leaving, are the Steelers about to overhaul the offensive line again? Is there even a place for Kendrick Green in the future? Also, with Diontae Johnson having a rough game and Chase Claypool having a sophomore slump season, what's the hope the Steelers' receivers turn it around?

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.

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

Changes Needed In Steelers Offense / When did Ben Roethlisberger Call Plays? Fire Matt Canada?: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Wesley Uhler of Steeler Nation Radio. The Pittsburgh Steelers' offense was bad in 2021 and needs an overhaul. But what should be Mike Tomlin's focus to fix it? Does firing Matt Canada fit the plan? Or does he need a year with a better unit to show what he can do? Should Ben Roethlisberger have been allowed to call his own plays all season? Or is that myth? With Roethlisberger retiring, should there be an emphasis to prioritize finding his replacement over everything else? Or should the Steelers' front office filling out the other positions on the roster? Follow Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques. Theme music is 'Soul Kick' by Ceddy P, and 'Too Easy' by Nerdboy.

Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger, Najee Harris, Minkah Fitzpatrick Held Back by Poor Lines In 36-28 Loss: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Jenna Harner of WPXI-TV. Pittsburgh Steelers fought to the end against the Minnesota Vikings but their comeback fell short in a 36-28 loss. Ben Roethlisberger, Najee Harris, Minkah Fitzpatrick and Pat Freiermuth made plays to help the Steelers get back into it, but the bottom line is that both the offensive and defensive lines are too poor to overcome in games and changes must be made as the teams playoff hopes become slimmer and slimmer.

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.

Is Claypool a real receiver that could be traded by Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin for real value?

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?

Steelers' 42-21 Playoff Loss To Chiefs Shows Needs In Their Future In Ben Roethlisberger's Last Game: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers brought the fight initially to the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs, as T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward and Devin Bush brought the early turnovers that gave the Steelers a lead. 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?

Pittsburgh Steelers' Mobile QB Need Mean Trade for Derek Carr? Draft Malik Willis? Kenny Pickett?: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Adam BIttner of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Art Rooney II and Mike Tomlin have made it clear the Steelers need a mobile quarterback for the future. But does that mean speed like Malik Willis? A veteran like Derek Carr? An all-around guy like Kenny Pickett? There are plenty of options on the table for the Steelers in the coming year that could be the type of player that Kevin Colbert targets for his final act as general manager for the team. But the bottom line is mobile quarterbacks help everyone on the offense from Najee Harris, to Pat Freiermuth, Diontae Johnson, Chase Claypool, and even Matt Canada.

Can Ben Roethlisberger, Mike Tomlin, Matt Canada Get On Same Page Before It's Too Late For Steelers?: Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. Ben Roethlisberger has had good and bad moments in 2021. Part of that has been play calls, other times it's been execution. But when it comes down to how it all comes together, it will take a group effort from Ben, Mike Tomlin and Matt Canada to see the Steelers to the playoffs. Can they get Ben to find his comfort zone before it's too late? The Titans used a lot of pre-snap motion with their safeties to confuse Roethlisberger, and you can bet the Chiefs are going to do that as well. Tyrann Mathieu, Juan Thornhill and Daniel Sorenson all could pose serious threats to the Steelers' offense and it could take a truly impressive performance from Roethlisberger to see through their disguised packages to make big plays.

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.
