Chris Carter here in the Locked-on Steelers podcast.

We've got Nick Farabaw on today.

I want to talk about Mike Tomlin says Darius Slays going back in instead of James Pierre, who's been lights out.

What's going on there?

Also updates on Aaron Rogers and the running back situation all here in the Locked-on Steelers podcast.

Let's get into it.

He's back on the show from penlive.com. Nick, there was a sense of some of us out there that maybe James Pierre had done enough. We're going to get to Aaron Rogers. We're going to get to Aaron Rogers. We talked about him yesterday. I know there's some people saying, what about Aaron Rogers? We talked about him yesterday. We'll get them in a set. But James Pierre's been playing the lights out and lights out. Lights out, lights out, lights out. Tys Joey Porter, Jr. for leading the team in passes broken up this season. was just lights out, had a break up on a deep ball to jemar chase looked all the and so of course

he's gonna start right when darius slay gets back it's fine it's he's he's earned his spot

mike tomlin said otherwise in the press conference it's not shocking but it does make you

scratch your head a little bit it does make sense scratch your head a little bit.

It does make sense.

At least a rotation, right?

And there's part of me that is like, I'll believe it when I see it, because sometimes Mike T. does. He does play games.

So perhaps we do see James Pierre actually start or play more.

But if we're going to take his comments for what they were, which was pretty, I mean, there's no skirting around it. He straight up just said there, Slee's going to start. It makes no sense. I mean, I get it now that they're running a lot more split safety, too high stuff. That's far more conducive to Slay at this part of his career.

He ran out, like, they ran so much quarters last year when he was in Philly and he was

really good in that.

So I understand it.
