Can Steelers' defense adjust? Do Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr. need to change roles?
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 analyze changes the defense needs to make ahead of an NFL Week 8 matchup with the Green Bay Packers. What adjustments should coach Mike Tomlin and DC Teryl Austin make? Particularly in the secondary? Do players including Jalen Ramsey, Joey Porter Jr., Darius Slay Jr. and Brandin Echols need to be used differently after getting beaten badly by Joe Flacco, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins last week? And how can front seven options including T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Patrick Queen, Keeanu Benton, Derrick Harmon, Payton Wilson and others generate more pressure and be better against the run? Our duo tackles those questions, then ponder whether QB Aaron Rodgers is playing his way into another season with the Steelers amid his success with DK Metcalf, Darnell Washington, Pat Freiermuth, Cavlin Austin III and Jonnu Smith in the passing game.
