Kenny Pickett QB2 Conspiracies Run Wild / How Pittsburgh Steelers Neutralize Joe Burrow, Bengals

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Tony Serino of the AFC North Talk Podcast and SteelerCountry. The Pittsburgh Steelers admitted they made a mistake on their first depth chart of the regular season and that Kenny Pickett was really QB2. But some people think it wasn't a mistake, and more about conspiracies that run wild among Steelers fans. Which one was most believable? And was this really about trying to work a Mason Rudolph trade? And when does Mitch Trubisky hand over the offense to Pickett? Also, Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals dominated the Steelers last year. But the way to get to Burrow is more about how the Steelers dominate other parts of the Bengals' roster. We'll break down how it will come down to stopping Joe Mixon, limiting Burrow's deep shots and winning with four pass rushers. That will require aggression from Cam Heyward, Larry Ogunjobi, T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, along with detailed coverage from Cameron Sutton, Levi Wallace and Ahkello Witherspoon to limit big plays to Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
