Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' head coach Mike Tomlin spoke to media Tuesday and might've hinted towards the plan how the Steelers plan to use Joey Porter Jr. and Patrick Peterson at cornerback. Peterson has played some snaps at slot cornerback, but it won't be the staple of the secondary. Still, it's a way Joey Porter Jr. can get on the field and a way to protect Peterson from lining up against faster receivers on his own. How Tomlin and defensive coordinator Teryl Austin deploy the Steelers' secondary still hasn't been finalized. Also, tight end Darnell Washington spoke with Chris Carter in the Steelers locker room about his improvements from training camp as a route runner. How far has he come? Finally, have the improvements of Washington made him a viable option for when the Steelers' deploy 12 personnel? Matt Canada will look to use formations with more tight ends to take advantage of the Steelers' strong unit that includes Pat Freiermuth, but how can it maximize the offense?
