On the Monday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo react to an important NFL Week 14 victory against the Baltimore Ravens.
Specifically, they ponder the success of the deep passing game. How did QB Aaron Rodgers get it back on track with the help of pass catchers including DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin III, Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell? How sustainable is this success the rest of the way as coach Mike Tomlin's team and OC Arthur Smith's unit looks to clinch the AFC North? How much improvement can the offense still make? And what impact will injuries to tackles Broderick Jones and Andrus Peat make?
Our duo tackles those questions, then talks defense. How did coach Mike Tomlin's defense contain Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry in the running game compared to the games in Baltimore last season? Why do Alex Highsmith and T.J. Watt deserve a lot of credit for stepping up amid injuries to Malik Harrison and Derrick Harmon? What role did cornerbacks Joey Porter Jr., James Pierre and Brandin Echols play? And why was Patrick Queen quietly one of the unit's more effective players?
