Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast.The Pittsburgh Steelers' win over the Las Vegas Raiders featured a balanced offense that showed an improved Kenny Pickett from his first two outings. Pickett had his first game with two touchdown passes, and some of his passes, like his 72-yard touchdown to Calvin Austin, opened up more parts of the offense.Did Pickett unlock something in him? Or something in the offense? Both? That remains to be seen. But the Steelers' offense showed the potential to put points on the board with its talent, like George Pickens, Pat Freiermuth, Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren. But, is Matt Canada prohibiting audibles at the line of scrimmage and keeping Kenny Pickett from making key adjustments that could open up the offense?Also, the Steelers defense looks like turnover fiends after three interceptions of Jimmy Garoppolo, making for seven forced turnovers in the last two games. Levi Wallace and Patrick Peterson made crucial plays to help the Steelers win, while T.J. Watt dominated yet again, with six sacks in his first three games this season. But there are still clear problems with the Steelers' defense that could lead to issues if not fixed as the season progresses.Still, having those problems while sitting at 2-1 and first place in the AFC North is better than still having those problems and looking at 0-3.CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to LOSTEELERSTOPICBAG@GMAIL.COMFollow Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'Soul Kick' by Ceddy P, and 'Too Easy' by Nerdboy.
