The steelers have the worst offensive line in the NFL?

Hartings and Faneca were great. Smith was ok from what I remember. Simmons never really lived up to the draft stock, although I think injuries might've ended his career if I remember correctly. Starks was young and not the player he ended up being yet. I guess they were a bit better than I gave them credit for just because of how good Faneca and Hartings were. But yeah the 08 line wasn't real pretty. The 2010 line that lost the SB was even worse. I didn't even remember that Flozell Adams was a Steeler and I remember dudes from '93 when I was 4 years old hahah (although he was a good player when he was younger, we just got his shell)

 

So let's put this to rest. In the year of our Lord, 2004. Ben Roethlisberger had a great O-line with HOF Faneca, an HOF RB in Jerome Bettis, Duce Staley, Plaxico Burress, Hines Ward and Antwaan Randle El. The 2004 defense under the Tutelage of Dick LeBeau had Casey Hampton, Aaron Smith, Kimo Von Olhoffen, Brett Kiesel, Joey Porter, Clark Haggans, James Farrior, Chris Hope and HOF Troy Polamalu.

What the hell does Kenny Pickett and Mitch Trubisky have?

 

I think, they missed on the oline in 2020's draft. I feel like they could've gotten highsmith much later in the draft. We had no first ... picked Claypool in the 2nd rd. Maybe, we could've gotten him in the 3rd or an olineman in the 3rd. If we were as good, as we are, in picking up wr's ... in picking up db's and olinemen ... we would be sitting pretty ... right about now.

 

So why did we only win 6 games the year before???
Asking for a friend.

 

This is a 20 min analysis from Alex Kozora. Yes I watched it and it left me wondering, is it all bad Lineman? Is is bad scheme and coaching philosophy? A bit of both?

Bottom line it seems players are having a hard time adapting this coach's philosophy. I honestly don't know enough to make a judgment, except is his philosophy a proven product of winning? If not, then why is he coaching at an NFL level..just asking.

 

Because the missing pieces weren't there. Ben Roethlisberger and Ricardo Colclough.

 

Also My friend...You can't go back on Your Trubisky for MVP now. LoL Wasn't that You???

 

No. I just said he should start.

 

Hmmm
Ok

 

Provide me proof. Maybe I was intoxicated when I posted? I don't remember.

 

I'm 2 lazy, and intoxicated right now. LoL

 

Well

I was thinking of going to bed

But I can’t let you drink alone

Shut up liver mind your own business

 

Mike Tomlin.

 

When healthy,the o-line in 2010 was better that the one in 2008 but the injuries make the o-line worst...Jonathan Scott as LT was a true disaster

 

Didn't Flozell Adams replace Scott at LT?

 

According to ProFootballReference, Adams started 16 games that year and Scott started 9. That would mean Scott and Adams played mostly together. Adams could have replaced him at first after the first game, but they ended up playing together for 8+ games later. Not sure how that transpired

 

No...Max Starks had a season ending injuries in mid season and Scott take his place after that...Adams was our RT all season long

 

Thanks for the info. I couldn't remember how LT/RT all panned out.

 

Cause Tommy Maddox was our starter. I never say anything bad about Tommy. He led what could have been the greatest Steeler comeback in a Playoff game.

 

And the running game were 31st in 2003 and our defense were average at best...The next year,the steelers had a new QB,new DC in Dick Lebeau,the breakout year for Troy Polamalu and the running game were second.Ben was also great to make big play(8.9 yards per pass attempts!)

 

yep - Harris will be wasted. I said that too last spring. that - and the obvious, Tomlin blunders at hiring OLINE coaches.

 

yep - meet the new boss, same as the old boss. sucked last year, look like suck will the theme this year.

 

We are doomed.

 

Didn't Najee account for over 1500 yds from LOS last year?

 

I've been on here for years now talking about drafting offensivelineman, and yet here we are.

They need to trade some draft capital away and get some starting caliber players.

Dotson should definitely get the LG job and it's not even close.
Dan Moore needs replaced also. They need to admit these aren't going to work and invest in LG and LT especially.

You risk getting your shiny new franchise QB and RB injured.

Imo buy now. They need to be on the phone figuring out trades
