Chris Carter here on the locked on Steelers podcast. I'm joining by Nick Farabaw. I want to talk about why for both of us, Chris Shula should be and probably is the Steelers top target. But if they don't get them, what's the plan if that happens? We'll talk about that. What Jay Glazer said about Mike Tomlin that does pertain to the Steelers and Ben Rutherberg's
