Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers haven't been known for their deep passing game for a few years now, but that's about to change with Kenny Pickett. He won't display the biggest arm in the NFL, but Pickett's accuracy and increased ability to see the field will help Diontae Johnson, George Pickens and Calvin Austin III all become reliable deep ball threats for the Steelers' offense. Austin speaks about his growth in the Steelers' deep passing game. Also, Joey Porter Jr. returned to practice Tuesday after suffering a minor injury last week. He's set to play in the Steelers' preseason game against the Buffalo Bills Saturday, but will he be ready to start by the week 1? Porter addresses that question. Finally, Dan Moore Jr. is not letting go of his left tackle starting spot easily for Broderick Jones. But that's a good thing for both competition, and the growth of the Steelers' offensive line. How will that play out? Chris Carter explains his outlook.

1:40.3	But let's get into what I wanted to talk about today. And that's the deep ball for the Steelers. Now, one thing people are going to talk about when they go to the Steelers and the deep ball and the numbers and the numbers there is that they're going to say it's not going to be a fact that's to worry about because they're going to think like, well, George Pickens doesn't get enough separation.
