Steelers’ Plan w/Aaron Rodgers Enough to Negate Missing WR2? | Jalen Ramsey Changes Slot CB Priority
The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive plan around Aaron Rodgers looks to incorporate several aspects to its passing game that haven’t worked in recent years. But Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh explore the question if that will be enough to make up for the lack of a bonafide WR2 behidn DK Metcalf. From screens, to play action, to attacking the middle of the field, none of that had been a strong part of Arthur Smith’s offense with the Steelers and Russell Wilson, but will be a big part of what they do with Rodgers.
Also, the addition of Jalen Ramsey changes the game with how the team sees slot cornerback play a role in their defense. How can that play a big role in the 2025 defense being better than recent years?
Finally, the Steelers set their practice squad with some signings that brought back familiar players. Which players will be most likely to see action this season?

You guys and this WR2 narrative has become nauseating
they need to keep Pierre just on special teams if he plays. hes been awful in coverage as a DB . except in practice apparently. and, one preseason play.
They always wanna paint a narrative… Can we play a game at least??
This is the fastest WR group our team has ever had. Never have we had four talented TE's on this level. The talent is there to create similar mismatches Gronk/Hernandez.made famous. Arthur Smith might not be Shanahan but don't underestimate what he can accomplish with a QB like Rodgers. It might take some time to gel however.
We don’t need a WR2. We’d have to many mouths to feed. DK, Pat, Jonnu, Calvin and Roman, Warren, Kaleb, Gainwell. Now add a WR2. People gonna get upset and start complaining why so and so isn’t getting the ball 😑
Wait. Roman and CA3 run 4.3! That can be a problem.
Tampa Bay has a good group of wide receivers thus why Steelers had problems in practice covering em
… But did Smith ever had a Vet MVP QB like Rodgers ? 🤷♂️
Speed kills. No horses yes cheetahs!
I’m keeping receipts, Nick! The obsession with a WR 2, coupled with your discount of Arthur Smith as an OC , ignores who Aaron Rogers is and the other WRs who combine to provide the WR2 presence ! We don’t need them to be game busters! We need them to beat the 1 v 1’s by getting to the open spots. Rogers is one of the best at quickly identifying that open blade of grass
Big fan.. but this one was hard to watch
a self inflicted wound caused by trading GP to dallas for next to nothing
Yeah, it is becoming very boring listening to Nick. You guys want perfection,when you yourselves are not perfect as humans or as journalists. I can't listen to his bullshit criticisms anymore. From this day forward, I won't watch when he is on. Our team needs blessings, not curses. i mean really, how do expect them to succeed under all this. The world works on vibration and frequencies. I am not adding to the detriment of our team by supporting the heaviness.
