| 0:00.0 | Omar Khan, not Mike McCarthy, is steering the Steelership right now. |
| 0:05.2 | That could be a good thing, but only if Omar learns from the lessons of this NFL draft. |
| 0:10.1 | Let's get into it. |
| 0:15.9 | You are Locked-on Steelers, your daily Pittsburgh Steelers podcast, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, |
| 0:23.8 | your team every day. |
| 0:30.3 | Hello, welcome to the Locked-on Steelers podcast. I'm your host, Chris Carter, |
| 0:33.6 | big of you, your debilers of all things on the Pittsburgh Steelers. We thank everyone for, as |
| 0:37.4 | always, tuning into this show. We got a lot to talk about today. We're taking a lot of |
| 0:40.9 | your questions from the locked on Steelers call in lines. Are there two any special teamers currently |
| 0:45.0 | on the squad? What about Drew Aowler? More questions about him. Is Omar Khan too patient? |

| 1:16.6 | He's been a mainstay, highly respected, not just by the organization, but nationally, internationally. |

And now with him out of it, there was now a reshuffling of power. And so there is, has been a legitimate question about the draft process. And we've gone over that week by week saying, hey, you know, we noticed during the pro day schedule. We didn't see Mike McCarthy out there at too many |
| 1:48.4 | pro days. We didn't see Omar Khan out there at too many pro days with Mike McCarthy. And so, |
| 1:53.5 | you know, we saw more Andy Whitel out there. How prominent was he? You know, we're rolls |
