Does Steelers' Roman Wilson deserve WR2 reps over Calvin Austin III? What's wrong with Jonnu Smith?

from Post-Gazette Sports Network: Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more · host Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Christopher Carter to analyze the team's struggling pass catcher group. Was Calvin Austin III's poor performance in NFL Week 10 against the Los Angeles Chargers the latest sign that he's not a suitable No. 2 at wide receiver next to DK Metcalf? Does Roman Wilson deserve more snaps in his place as he's found some momentum with QB Aaron Rodgers in recent weeks? Does he have a higher ceiling than Austin does? And what solutions does Chris have in mind for Metcalf? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks tight ends. Why isn't OC Arthur Smith using Jonnu Smith as more of a downfield threat? Will we ever see anything approaching the guy who caught nearly 90 passes a year ago with the Miami Dolphins? Why does Rodgers seem to like throwing to Darnell Washington so much? And where is the happy medium for Pat Freiermuth between the sky-high expectations have for him and his limited role in some games? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
