Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com. The Pittsburgh Steelers' offense has been bad to mediocre for the past several years, including the first two years under offensive coordinator Matt Canada. But recent activity suggests the team has high confidence in Kenny Pickett playing with this system. That was bolstered by a sarcastic criticism by Cam Heyward who called Canada's play calling "vanilla" in a tongue-in-cheek way that suggests it's part of a plan of the Steelers to downplay their offense publicly before it surprises the NFL in 2023. Also, Chris Carter and Alan Saunders discuss whether Kwon Alexander can become a starting linebacker alongside Cole Holcomb or if Elandon Roberts will hold onto the job, as well as what the plan is at center with the future of Mason Cole, Kendrick Green and the 2024 NFL Draft class.

1:17.8	But as I've said throughout training camp, we have seen more play action.
1:22.7	We have seen deeper passes.
1:24.5	And as something that I've said over the last two years with Matt Canada,
1:28.0	he deserves criticism. He's not above critiquing. Carter critiques. It's part of my name.
1:33.3	But I've said that I don't think that this is, we've seen the real Matt Canada. With Ben
1:38.5	Rothesberger, I've always felt like that was his offense. And Matt Canada was just there to
