Steelers' Pat Freiermuth, Darnell Washington MUST Be Red Zone TD Bandits in Mike McCarthy's Offense

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers might not have the NFL's elite tight end duo, but Pat Freiermuth and Darnell Washington look like they could be red zone bandits. Christopher Carter breaks down how that could be the key to boosting Mike McCarthy's offense as a scoring unit. Freiermuth and Washington have scored the majority of their touchdowns in the red zone, and McCarthy must create situations for Aaron Rodgers to target them more so the Steelers can jump up from being the 18th-best red zone offense to being a top 10 unit that finishes drives with touchdowns at a consistent rate. Also, Chris takes your questions on the Locked on Steelers call-in line. Could Washington be a candidate to be the team's tush push player? Do Steelers rookies Riley Nowakowski and Kaden Wetjen compare to past NFL role players John Kuhn and Cole Beasley? And with training camp less than two weeks away, is Will Howard not getting enough respect in the QB plan?
