Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by John Hickman of Locked on Texans for Crossover Thursday.The Pittsburgh Steelers' best plan to attack the Houston Texans needs to involve explosive plays against one of the best defense in the NFL. But Christopher Carter and John Hickman discuss whether that's the deep ball with DK Metcalf, or the checkdown passes to get more yards after the catch with Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell? All have been reliable, but who will be the best weapon to use? Also, Chris and John talk about both team's quarterbacks. Will Aaron Rodgers see through the weak spots of the Texans' defense? And can C.J. Stroud find a way to protect the ball against an aggressive Steelers defense?CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to [email protected] Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.
