Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson hasn't gotten a lot of targets lately and it's shown in the Steelers' passing attack. He still has zero touchdowns on the season and as the team's highest paid player on offense, he's been irrelevant. Mike Tomlin says opposing game plans have focused to take him away, but he does have an answer to fix that. And that starts with taking the open options when given with George Pickens, Pat Freiermuth and Najee Harris. Also, Mason Cole's injury update brings good news, as does Jaylen Warren for the hope to both make a healthy return against the Indianapolis Colts. Can the Steelers' run game with Harris and the offensive line lift the offense as it has the past couple of weeks? Also, why can't the Steelers execute screen plays? Pro Football Focus shows how bad it is for the Steelers' offense, and the all-22 film provides answers where the breakdowns have been.
