Description: Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Nick Farabaugh of Pennlive.com.The Pittsburgh Steelers traded with the New England Patriots Tuesday for safety Kyle Dugger to replace DeShon Elliott in their secondary. Christopher Carter and Nick Farabaugh detail how the move can work for the defense and what Dugger brings to the table, and how he could match with Joey Porter Jr., Jalen Ramsey, Juan Thornhill and Jabrill Peppers in the secondary. Also, Chris and Nick dive into where the real problems exist with the Steelers' defensive coaching errors, and what parts tie back to Teryl Austin and Mike Tomlin that are part of the scheme, but more specific than the normal accusations of coaching malpractice. CALL INTO THE SHOW AT 412-223-6644 or if international, e-mail your audio message to LOSTEELERSTOPICBAG@GMAIL.COMFollow Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.Theme music is 'How Can I Lose' by Johnny Quest the Rebel, under his label Renaissance Music.
