On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Brian Batko preview the NFL Week 17 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. How will OC Arthur Smith and QB Aaron Rodgers navigate their first game without receiver DK Metcalf this season? Can names like Adam Thielen, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Roman Wilson and others step up? And what role with tight ends like Pat Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington play in the passing game? Our duo tackles those questions and ponders ways coach Mike Tomlin may handle rest vs. rust if the Steelers have the AFC North clinched for their next two games before the playoffs. They also make their picks for the Steelers' first game against Browns starter Shedeur Sanders. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
