Hey, everyone, Chris Carter here on the Locked-on Steelers podcast.

I want to talk about how Mike Tomlin opened the door for the Steelers' cornerbacks to go prove themselves sooner rather than later and why he's doing that for them and not as much the offense.

We'll talk about that and hear from Mike Tomlin, Terrell Austin, and Joey Joey Porter and Jalen Ramsey, all here on today's episode of the Locked

On Steelers podcast.

Let's get into it.

And Mike Tomlin did something interesting when we asked him about who was going.

asking questions. But he said like, hey, for this game, we'll still have Aaron Rogers, D.K. Medcaf,

T.J. Wat, Kim, Hayward, all those guys will sit out. But everyone else who's healthy, they might practice.

And I want to show you the clip of him saying that, and then also addressing why the secondary,

because they're the unit that has not played a lick of a look of anything in these first two preseason games,

that being Jalen Ramsey, Darius Slay, Joey Porter Jr.

Now, Juan Thornhill, Chuck Clark, absolutely.

They have been.

But the top three corners that the Steelers have been really excited to see work as a unit haven't.

And I think it's interesting that Mike Tomlin is wanting to see them in this preseason game when it's pretty much been, hey, you know, they've treated the preseason like they don't need to see their top guys in there.
