WATCH: Steelers OC Matt Canada fires back at CBS for 'unbelievable misinterpretation'

Plus, how much does offense miss Diontae Johnson?

On the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, host Christopher Carter welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Brian Batko with the latest from inside the team's locker room. Why does offensive coordinator Matt Canada believe CBS used his comments unfairly in its broadcast of the game against the Texans this past Sunday? Also, why does running back Najee Harris believe Canada is being mistreated by critical fans and media? And how much does the offense miss Diontae Johnson as he navigates his hamstring injury? Our duo tackles those topics and more.
