This is a big year for Broderick Jones

Moore was going to play the whole season because he was the better option

Fautanu getting hurt just gave Jones the chance to get snaps

 

Meyer is responsible for player development. Blame for player position might be Tomlin's.

There are scouting reports that said Jones was a better RT prospect in the pros than a LT. If Jones regresses it won't be a good sign for him or the Steelers. But if he puts in the work Tomlin is known for his patience in letting a guy show what he's got.
For the QB room's sake, gotta hope Jones shows early rather than later.

 

This doesn't make sense. If you were ,hypothetically, representing a player who showed better performance metrics than Moore next offseason, you don't think you'd be pushing for your client to receive a larger contract than he did?

 

I think Moore was full of crap when he said he couldn't play RT, he knew if he stayed at LT and hit free agency he was going to get paid .

 

That was probably Jones secret attack last year

I’ll just suck at RT and then they will move me to LT and I can cash in a couple of years from now

Brilliant

 

As stated before, if agents really want something to look forward to, the extensions of Charles Cross and Ikem Ekwonu are far more appeasing. Both will have greater APY than Dan Moore. For that matter, I expect either or to tie for being the highest paid or even reset the market.

 

I am fully aware of Pat Meyer.


Dunno if you have been following me in terms of threads regarding the Offensive Line or better yet, during the conclusion of the 2024 season but I wanted Meyer out the second the season was over. Clearly the FO sees something in Meyer that many of us as fans do not. I hope I am wrong but there has been little evidence to suggest otherwise.

 

Agreed. If he struggles it would be a major setback. I don't know what Meyer's coaching was last season for Jones but he looked totally different in his approach and took a step down. Moving to the left side best cure the ills. Still i don't trust Meyer. Wanted him replaced.

And since it seems they are going all in on a QB in next years draft getting another tackle day one is out and possibly day two depending what they would have to give up to move up in the 1st. Unless organically they have a losing season.
