Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by former NFL GM Doug Whaley. The Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback Kenny Pickett has had a rocky road so far in the NFL. He's had some great moments with five game winning drives and four fourth quarter comebacks, but former NFL GM Doug Whaley has specific goals for Pickett to show before he's a true franchise quarterback. Chris Carter and Whaley go over what Pickett's done well, but what he must show to be the quarterback the Steelers need for the future. Meanwhile, Broderick Jones made his first start at left tackle for the Steelers in their 17-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. Has he shown the necessary progress in the early part of his rookie season to be a great tackle for the Steelers? What must he show next to keep improving? Finally, the Steelers' offensive line is still underperforming even with Jones and Isaac Seumalo. Is there a chance the offensive line can coalesce in 2023 like it did in 2022 even with Mason Cole's struggles and James Daniels' injury?
