Through two games, it is clear the biggest issue the Pittsburgh Steelers are dealing with is inconsistency on the offensive line. And no lineman is off the hook. The Steelers have invested heavily in the offensive line and this group is not performing.
This came to a head on Sunday against the New England Patriots when even top players like center Zach Frazier and offensive tackle Troy Fautanu struggled. This was a detail that wasn't missed by Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger. He talked about all the problems Pittsburgh is having right now but smartly drilled down to the core of the problem. The offensive line.
"If the line's not opening the holes, if they're not protecting for Aaron to throw the ball, what are we building on?"
After Sunday's
loss to the Patriots, head coach Mike McCarthy talked about the issues with the line and didn't close the door on the idea of making some changes. He also acknowledge he put too much energy into swapping out lineman in training camp and this group didn't gel because of it.
