Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast,, and is joined by Mike DeFabo of the Athletic.
The Pittsburgh Steelers announced that Will Howard would start in their preseason game against the New York Jets. Is this Howard's big chance to prove he's QB2 for the Steelers? Or just the chance to showcase him as trade bait for NFL teams? Christopher Carter and Mike DeFabo give their insight from watching Steelers training camp and talking to Mike McCarthy, Howard, and Drew Allar. Watch to see McCarthy describe the moments most important for the Steelers' quarterback evaluations as they develop both their young options. Chris and Mike also show what Allar thinks of the development process after interviewing him, and what chemistry can be expected of the Steelers' offense with so many key players missing from practice. DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. haven't practiced in weeks, and Aaron Rodgers looks settled on not playing in the preseason. Will they be able to smoothly run McCarthy's offense by the start of the regular season. Finally, Chris and Mike show a conversation with Steelers rookie safety Robert Spears-Jennings. He's been a starter for the defense throughout training camp, but what will the Steelers do at free safety? Jaquan Brisker hasn't practiced in weeks, while DeShon Elliott is only just now coming back from injury, and Jalen Ramsey has yet to touch the field.
