Does Steelers' Arthur Smith deserve blame? Or do Aaron Rodgers, offense just need to execute better?

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder and Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter to sort through the offense's current issues. Is OC Arthur Smith to blame for what's gone wrong during the skid of four losses in the last six games? Or is the execution simply not good enough right now? From QB Aaron Rodgers having a rough outing against the Los Angeles Chargers. To backup Mason Rudolph missing open receivers in the NFL Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears? And what are the chances Smith will be on coach Mike Tomlin's staff next season? Our duo tackles those questions, then some of Chris' grades from his film study. Is DK Metcalf's skill set just a bad fit with what the Steelers are trying to do right? Especially in comparison to George Pickens, the guy Metcalf replaced as WR1? Were safeties Jalen Ramsey and Kyle Dugger bad against Caleb Williams and the Bears offense? Or were schematics to blame for their blown coverages? Is the young offensive line led by Broderick Jones, Troy Fautanu, Mason McCormick and Zach Frazier becoming a strength? And is Yaya Black prepared to fill in for the injured Derrick Harmon this week on the defensive line? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
