Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will get Kenny Pickett back from injury to start against the Tennessee Titans Thursday night. But can he and the offense find answers? The all-22 footage continues to show the biggest problems for Matt Canada's offense is a lack of execution, not the play calling. But how much longer can the Steelers go without finding any answers before they need to move on from Pickett?

Also, Omar Khan made no NFL trade deadline moves for the Steelers. Was that a mistake with their current roster?

Finally, Joey Porter Jr. made a mistake on Travis Etienne's touchdown Sunday, and it could be a sign of the Steelers' communication struggles in the secondary while they're without Minkah Fitzpatrick. Or are the Steelers' defensive backs ready to make a stand?
