How Steelers 2023 NFL Draft Class Helps Kenny Pickett Grow | Assistant GM Andy Weidl on Fixing Team
It's the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day.
Here in the Lockdown Steelers Podcast, we've done a lot of talking about this NFL draft
class that Steelers hauled in and how good it is, at least from our draft process.
But let's talk about how it's going to help Kenny Pickett be a better NFL quarterback,
which is one of the biggest objectives of 2023.
I'm your host Chris Carter of the Lockdown Steelers Podcast.
We'll talk about that.
And Andy Waddle Assistant GM speaks last year at the end of last week about the Steelers
picks and how they're operating all that more right here on today's episode.
It's a Monday.
Let's get into it.

We thank you for making the Lockdown Steelers podcast.
You're first listening every day because we're your team every day.
So let's get into what I'm talking about here.
I have several layers to this conversation about the draft and how it relates to Kenny
Pickett getting Kenny Pickett to be the Kenny Pickett that they drafted him to be.
This is still a very early step in his process.
But one of the things that we noted last year about Kenny Pickett was how limited he was
in not throwing the ball deep down the field.
Now we know Kenny Pickett doesn't have the biggest cannon of an arm, but he doesn't have
an accurate arm.
He can't get the ball to the right spots.
We've seen him do it in college.
We've seen him do it a little bit in the pros and he got sharper as the year went on.
But one of the big things that never materialized for Kenny Pickett and that will need to materialize
at some point is more efficiency in the deep passing game.
And let's look at the numbers just to compare that just to show you.
Now last year for the Steelers, he averaged, well he didn't average, excuse me.
He completed 7 of 11 deep balls down the middle part of the field.
Not a deep ball is when the ball travels 20 yards or more.
And that was where he was most efficient.
He could be completely 7 of 11.
Throw is there for three touchdowns, one interception and had a pass rating of 108.9.
But you look everywhere else, 5 of 15 to the right, 6 of 21 to the left, four interceptions
between those and only one touchdown, not a good look there overall on his deep passing.
And when you look overall at his deep passing numbers, when you combine them all, he completes
only 38.3% of his deep passing.
And again, these are passes where he targets a receiver or a tight end or somebody that
is at least 20 yards down field.
And his yards per yards per attempt average there was 10.1, only getting 4, 477 yards
out of 47 attempts.
You also threw four touchdowns and five interceptions.
Now you may think, well, that's just like there are people out there who doubt Kenny
Pickett.
And they may think, oh well, he's just a bad quarterback.
Well, in college, it looked a little bit different.
And yes, college in the NFL, there's a big difference.
But this wasn't who he was for Pitt in college.
Let's look at the numbers that he had for Pitt in college and you'll see a difference
here.
Now, switching this over and I've been showing videos on YouTube, but I'll read them out
for our listeners where we were talking about down that deep middle part of the field where
it was a little bit better of the numbers with the Steelers seven of 11 for three touchdowns
and interception in college in that same area, at least in his last year with the Panthers.
He was 26 of 38, not 7-11.
He had 917 yards, 14 touchdowns and two interceptions, not three touchdowns to one interception.
He was much more efficient.
And even in the left and right areas deep down the field, he wasn't, you know, lighting
it up crazy out there, but he had still had better numbers.
And when you look at it overall with Pitt, again, we're looking at the numbers here.
He goes to 51.4% completion rate.
That's more than half of his deep balls being completed in college for almost 1300 yards.
That's almost basically two thirds percent better than his pro numbers and his rookie
season.
And he completed 17 touchdowns and five interceptions on those type of deep balls.
Now again, this is the NFL.
Part of that is coverage is better, better athletes, more complex schemes.
It happens.
But part of it, I think, was also by the design because the Steelers were trying to protect
Kenny Pickett, not just from hits, but also from protecting the team, protecting himself,
because the Steelers knew their offensive line wasn't top notch.
I mean, they knew that it was going to put them at risk at times.
And part of the answer there was to get a better pocket.
And how do they get a better pocket?
Well, looking at the numbers from last year, Pitt's offensive line allowed 21 sacks.
And 11 of those sacks came from the left side of the line.
And seven of those of those sacks came from Danmore Jr.
And the other four, of course, came from Kevin Dodson.
You look at those numbers and you say, man, those must be the positions that they're going
to have to fill.
And who were some of the players they went out and got this year?
They went out and got Nate Herbing and Isaac Somal giving them two options on the interior
offensive line to figure out who's going to be the best pass protector for Kenny Pickett
at the left guard position if Kevin Dodson isn't up to the task and training camp against
those guys.
Then of course, they draft Broderick Jones, who immediately you think is going to be sliding
in to left tackle.
And those are things that I think are going to be major moves to give Kenny Pickett a better
pocket.
Now, let's talk about just how serious this is and how much this does impact Kenny Pickett's
chances to maybe have not just more deep throws, but better chances at deeper throws
because those deeper passes open up everything.
You have that deep passing attack and it opens up your short passing.
It opens up your run game.
But in vice versa, the success of the other parts of the game also opened that up.
So it's a balance that the Steelers really haven't had for quite some time on the roster
or on in their offense.
And I think that that's something that has to be addressed.
And this was why they went and got Broderick Jones.
This is why they went and got Isaac Somalo.
This is why they've been fortifying their offensive line and even Darnell Washington
plays into this and we'll get into that in a minute.
But you're looking at how all of this plays together.
The whole point of protecting Kenny Pickett, you want to protect him, you want to protect
his health wise, you know, from getting hit because he took some big hits and what we've
talked about on the show.
If he keeps taking hits like he did his rookie year, it's going to be a shorter career
than anyone wants.
But you're also protecting the team last year from turnovers.
And part of this was also the Steelers adjusted their game plans so that he didn't have as
many opportunities to throw deeper passes because they were trying to protect him because
they knew their offensive line wasn't going to hold up as much.
For example, if you go and look on Pro Football Focus right now and you look and you look
at passing pressure and you look up quarterbacks that had at least, I think it was like 50
dropbacks under pressure or 100 dropbacks under pressure or something like that.
And it was basically most of the starters in the NFL.
The Steelers, both of their quarterbacks they used last year, were in the top 15 as far
as quarterbacks that weren't under pressure as much.
This Travisky was under pressure 29.2% of the time.
Kenny Pickett was 31.5%.
That's 15th lowest as far as the rate of the amount of times they were the percentage
of which they were under pressure when they dropped back in the NFL.
But that doesn't mean that the offensive line was giving them all the time in the world.
It just means they were getting the ball out quick because they knew that was their game.
Protect the quarterback, protect the football, don't turn the ball over, hope that you grind
games out and let the defense win games.
And if the Steelers are taking us to take a step forward this year, that needs to be
part of what changes.
And took further confirm what we're talking about here and how that correlates with the
percentage of times they're not, they weren't under pressure or the versus they were under
pressure and how it relates to their game plan that they weren't trying to throw the
ball deep.
Go back and look at players who have the average depth of target for players who were attempting
deep passes last year.
You consider every player, every quarterback who through at least took 20 deep passes last
year.
Again, those are on pro football focus.
Those are player quarterbacks who threw the football ball that traveled 20 yards in the
air or more.
So if they did that at least 20 times last year, which according to pro football focus,
there were 36 of such quarterbacks.
Many pickets average depth of target, which means the average, you know, how the average
of how far receivers were when he targeted them on a deep ball, it was the 35th lowest.
That means there were 34 quarterbacks higher.
He was next to last.
The only quarterback that had a lower average depth of target on deep passes in the NFL than
him last year was Brock Purdy.
And that, and again, that's not saying that can he pick it can't do it because he can,
but the Steelers were protecting him.
If you look at, look at also the average, the yards per attempt rate that Kenny picket had
of the same group of quarterbacks.
He averaged 10.1 yards per attempt.
It was tied with Andy Dalton at 29th now to be fair.
It also was tied with Aaron Rodgers at 29th, but I was also arguably one of Aaron Rodgers's
not happiest seasons, which is why he's with the New York Jets now.
But the Steelers don't want Kenny picket to live with those numbers.
They want those things to change and they want the offense to be more efficient.
And part of this all feeds back to fortify the offensive line, being more physical and
opening up opportunities so that Kenny picket can take more deep shots.
We're going to get more into how this all plays together and what I think needs to be.
A season that changes the tide of how the Steelers passing game works and why it still
is much predicated on the offensive line, running the football and finding a real balance
on offense the Steelers haven't had for quite some time.
We'll talk about all that in just a minute here on the lockdown Steelers podcast.

Thank you for anyone who does anything there and thank you to everyone who checks out this

But let's get back to the point at hand here and what my whole point about Kenny Pickett
and what what the what the Steelers need to be doing for him in this upcoming season.
We've talked about how if you look at the average of the target, if you look at the
yards per attempt on on the on the deep passes, if you look at everything, everything points
to the Steelers were protecting Kenny Pickett and Mitch Travisky when he was playing from
themselves and protecting them from pressure that was going to be there because their
offensive line couldn't hold up.
Now personally, I think that that pressure is going to be lifted a lot because they're
going to trust this offensive line more.
Maybe not initially right away in the season, but they're going to see when these guys come
to training camp and probably the first couple of games, the offensive line is probably going
to be a lot more cohesive.
They were more cohesive at the end of the season.
We saw them block better both in the run game and the past game and that opened up opportunities
for the Steelers to make more plays.
But now they're going to have even better offensive linemen.
The smallest is going to be somewhere on that offensive line.
We think left guard.
Roderick Jones, the first round pick, there wasn't a first round pick on this offensive
line.
There has been one since David de Castro and Marquis Pouncy left.
And that's going to be huge for doing what Kenny Pickett needs to do and to be comfortable
in the pocket.
Trust that he can be comfortable in the pocket.
Make throws down the field and be efficient with the offense.
And this isn't going to become again, I'm still, I still see the Steelers being a team
that runs the ball.
It's more physical.
We'll get to that with Andy Weidl's comments in a bit here on today's episode.
But a key factor I have here for Kenny Pickett here is having that balance and trying to
and being able to hit the deep ball because he could trust his offensive line.
But also trusting that his offensive line is going to bully people at the line of scrimmage
to open up the run game.
We've talked about this a lot and how I think the Steelers, they're adopting this identity.
They want to be more physical again.
They want to dominate the line of scrimmage.
They want to be able to run the football and where some people might say, well, that's
not the way to go because look at all these teams that are throwing the ball all the time.
And look at how they're, they're playing.
Not everybody's playing that way.
If you have Patrick, Patrick Holmes, great.
If you have Josh Allen, awesome.
But right now the Steelers don't have those quarterbacks.
Maybe Kenny Pickett turns into a franchise quarterback like that.
Maybe someday that's there, but that's not right now.
He's a young quarterback who's developing and they want to kind of have him have him
have him continuing natural growth with the Steelers who gets sharper in the offense
and then can take command and maybe air it out a little bit later in his career.
Right now, have the stronger offensive line.
Run the ball, bully people off the offensive line.
When you run the ball more successfully, then those safeties and linebackers, they bite
up a little bit more and they open up the deep passes.
And also when you're running the ball more successfully, you're getting second and
five, third and twos a lot more often.
And when you're in those situations, passrushers can't pin their ears back the way that they
have lately against the Pittsburgh Steelers because the Steelers didn't have a run game.
Again, we brought this up at the end of last week in 2020.
The Steelers had the worst rushing offense in the NFL.
And so they went and got Naji Harris in 2021 and 2022.
And whereas he helped the move wasn't complete because they didn't have the offensive line
yet to block form to make it a dominant running team.
And so now you need his offensive line and Naji Harris to both be clicking at the same
time to make that happen.
And at the same time, you need the balance of Kenny Pickett to be efficient with it with
passing the ball to put defenses in guessing games.
If Matt Canada is to keep his job, he's got to help find a way to coordinate and make
this click somehow.
But the bottom line is still going to come down to winning at the line of scrimmage,
opening things up at the run game and getting Kenny Pickett to be able to trust his offensive
line, target passes down field and create and create that success have better numbers
when it comes to average.
The target on default, better yards per attempt on default, and that will put defenses
in mark guessing games and allow the Steelers offense to be a more efficient unit.
And again, how do they do that?
Well, Andy Weidel, assistant GM who assembled the Steelers big board that Omar Khan and
Mike Tomah were working with in the NFL draft.
He spoke on Friday.
We'll speak about his comments here on the lock down Steelers podcast in just a minute
here.
So don't go anywhere.
We'll be right back with more talk about your Pittsburgh Steelers right here on the
lock down Steelers podcast.
Back here on the lock down Steelers podcast.
I'm your host Chris Carter.
We continue our show here on Monday getting your week started rookie camp is coming later
this week and we'll get to talking about that.
But before we do any of that, I want to talk to you guys about what happened at the end
of last week.
And that was Andy Weidel, assistant GM speaking to the Pittsburgh media.
Now Andy Weidel very much trumpeted that the very things that I've been talking about and
that a lot of us have been talking about about the Steelers in the identity that they want
to be quote from him at the facility.
He says, quote, we want to be big.
We want to be physical.
We want to be tough.
We want to impose our will on teams.
That's the Pittsburgh Steelers.
You go, you go break the other team sword in the second half.
You go win on the road.
That's what we're building.
That's what we have here.
That's what we've been in the past.
We want to continue that identity.
It works in this business and that's physical, tough, smart players, strategic thinkers that
you can take on the road, guys who can feel good about being on your bus, going to the
stadium.
And that's what we're going to continue to add to the team.
And he talked more about how the board fell and everything like that.
But the bottom line is that he wants to see this team be more physical.
And if you're thinking, there's people out there that I read the YouTube comments.
I see some people on Twitter and how they think and like, well, wait a second Chris
again, how does this make sense?
They rest the NFL.
They're throwing all the time.
And if the Steelers are running all the time, that's not going to be a bad thing.
Well, I say this to the person who says that one, they're not going to run all the time.
Again, they're trying to open up the game for Kenny Pickett, but they need to at least
have a bread and butter on the ground.
They need to at least dominate the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball because
that's still an important facet of how they're going to win.
And I think a very adept comparison would be to how the Steelers won their last two
Super Bowls.
Now, granted that was some time ago in two years, it'll be 20 years since the Super
Bowl 40.
And it's what 15 years since the since Super Bowl 43.
So yeah, it's been some time.
And you could say that things are a bit different than from then.
But back then, there were also high talented quarterbacks in supreme throwing offenses that
everyone was like, that's what you got.
That's the future of the NFL.
That's what you have to be.
And you can't win without those quarterbacks.
Oh, don't remember them.
Guess what?
They were Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees.
They go, that's his name down the line.
They were just a whole bunch of quarterbacks that were like, they're not a whole bunch.
But a top tier that everyone considered that that was what you had to win with.
And you weren't going to win unless you had one of those types of guys.
Because Steelers had one, two Super Bowls without those types of guys.
Now Ben Rauffersberger is a Hall of Fame quarterback.
But we all know he wasn't a Hall of Fame quarterback the way that Peyton Manning or Tom Brady were.
He's a Hall of Fame quarterback because he was tough, because he was gritty, because he
could play in that style of offense that we're talking about with the Steelers.
If you don't believe me, go back and look at the when they won the Super Bowl in 2005.
Ben Rauffersberger had maybe his, not even maybe his three playoff games that he played
in leading up to the Super Bowl before he was terrible in the Super Bowl.
He was the best playoff Ben Rauffersberger I had seen.
He was confident.
He went, he was aggressive.
He did those things until the Super Bowl, then he was terrible there.
But a lot of this throughout the entire year was built off of the run game.
The Steelers ranked 24th in passing, but they ranked fifth in rushing in 2005.
And in 2008, they still ranked 20th overall in offense.
They still ranked 17th in passing.
They got a little bit better, but still weren't in the upper echelon of the league.
And again, this was still in the league where Peyton Manning was a thing and other offenses
were peeking up here and there.
But the Steelers staying true to their code, they were great on defense.
They ran the ball.
They found ways to win.
And Ben Rauffersberger wasn't the most efficient all the time.
I wouldn't say the most efficient.
He didn't put up the biggest numbers all the time, but he did find ways to win in big moments.
And I think that's what they're hoping Kenny Pickett can find a way to do.
And we saw it several times last year when we were looking at Kenny Pickett and how he
was finishing because he was finding a way to finish games.
I mean, you look back at how the Steelers won against the Ravens.
The game when he touched down past to Naji Harris.
And I mean, just last year, he threw four, he had four game winning drives, three of
them being fourth quarter comebacks.
The Saints, the Colts, the Raiders, and the Ravens.
And granted, all low scoring affairs.
But again, that's what the Steelers were doing in the 2000s.
Now again, that Steelers team is also a little bit different.
You know, the 2005 team had a better offensive line.
They still had Alan Fannica, Jeff Harding, Martell Smith, a lot of offensive line that
was kicking butt.
They had a run game that was just polarizing you, whether it was Jerome Bettis, do Staley
or Willie Parker, you know, a rookie Heath Miller, a Heinz Ward, who kind of carry the
receiver room with Antoine Randall Allen, guys like that.
But again, that's not an offense.
That's not like the Bengals where they've dumped a ton of high draft picks.
And in the top five, like Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow and, you know, T Higgins and guys
like that and a whole bunch of money into it.
It's not built the same way, but it's built their own way.
And again, if you don't think that Andy Wydell knows what he's talking about, go look at
the NFC and ask why everyone is everyone excited about the Eagles as well, because he built
them that way, or at least helped build them that way.
Howie Roseman is the GM over there, but Andy Wydell played a huge part in building those
boards.
Those draft boards that they built from were part his.
He was also talking, you know, there was part of, he talked about, you know, the effort
to get landed Dickerson, who was an important offensive lineman for the Eagles that they
drafted.
And, you know, he was a guy, like, in a Dickerson, we talked about him in the show years ago
when he was, what he could have had picked.
And the one of the questions was, it's his knee healthy.
Turned out it was the Eagles took him and there, you know, he's, he's now part of that
offensive line and that's part of the good things that they were doing.
And you could probably say a similar thing as he even did about Darnell Washington said,
Hey, we trust our doctors here at the Pittsburgh Steelers.
His knee's going to be fine.
That's why they took Darnell Washington and maybe, maybe Darnell Washington and Broderick
Jones are part of establishing the identity and offense.
Again, I think this all comes back to control the offensive line and everything else goes
from there.
The old school Steelers football.
This doesn't mean that they run every play all the time and that's all that they do.
It just means that they're going to try to control the line of scrimmage so that they
can run the football when they want.
And it puts less pressure on their quarterback who they don't want to put that much.
They don't want to make them Patrick Mahomes.
They don't want to make them Josh Allen.
They don't want to have them throwing, you know, 50 times a game or even 40 times a game.
You want them in that 30 to 35 range at most probably because when you're keeping them
on the lower, that means you're controlling the clock more because you're probably running
the ball more efficiently.
And you're probably not down as much because you've controlled it.
And if you control the clock more efficiently, that means you're having your defense be on
the field a lot less, which means they're fresher in the fourth quarter, which means
that defense that's going to have TJ Wath is going to have Cam Hayward that's going to
have make of his Patrick and now we'll have Patrick Peterson and Joey Porter Jr as well.
As well as Alex Heismith and a number of other guys, they're going to be fresher to make
big plays in the big moments and give you bigger wins.
I truly think, again, it's all goes back to the start of this draft class to get more
physical, to change this identity of this team, to be the team that pushes other people
around and not the other way around.
All of that plays into the identity that they're going to be.
And I think it all still plays into how can he pick it becomes a better NFL quarterback
because if he has those things on his side, I truly think he does become a better NFL
quarterback this year and it also gives him the confidence to keep taking steps forward
the way we saw him take step forward a bit.
We could see him take similar steps forward in the NFL and how he plays his game.
Well, I have a lot more to talk about that throughout the offseason.
Of course, rookie camp is coming up later this week, but before we even get to that,
we got to talk, we got to talk to a lot of different guests this week.
We got our man West Yulu returning at some point.
We're hoping to have Mike DeFable from the athletic back on the show.
Of course, we'll have Jenna Harner on our Friday episode as well.
So stay tuned for all of those, but we're also planning on a special treat for tomorrow
as far as our recordings go because we're having a former NFL tight end himself,
Doran Dickerson of 93.7 the fan.
You can hear him on the radio all the time, but he's a former pit tight end and NFL tight end
who was part of that Patriots double tight end offense with Ann Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski.
I want to ask him about how 12 personnel can help the Steelers in what they're trying
to do on offense.
We'll get all of his perspective on tomorrow's episode.
So look out for that on Tuesday, but as always, you could find the lock down Steelers podcast
