Mike Tomlin's Patience with Pittsburgh Steelers' Diontae Johnson/Chase Claypool Running Out?

Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers - A podcast by Locked On Podcast Network, Christopher Carter

Chris Carter, NFL and NCAAF analyst, is joined by Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. The Pittsburgh Steelers hired a new wide receivers coach in Frisman Jackson, but why did they replace Ike Hilliard? Was it because the team's patience with Diontae Johnson and Chase Claypool is running out? Mike Tomlin wasn't happy with Claypool's antics at different points this season, nor was he happy with Johnson's drops. Can Jackson fix them? Or do Kevin Colbert and the Steelers' front office need to find new blood for their receiver room? Also, the Steelers made Teryl Austin their official defensive coordinator. Will he call plays? Does that matter? What's his job now and how might the Steelers' defense look compared to how Keith Butler keyed up the pass rush for T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward? Could there be a bigger schematic focus on Minkah Fitzpatrick and the Steelers' secondary? Follow Chris Carter on Twitter: @CarterCritiques.
