Worried about Oline

It is as I said from the beginning of this Offseason; Aaron Rodgers or not, this team will go as far as the Offensive Line goes. Should the Offensive Line gel quickly and become a Top 10 unit, the Steelers will get into the playoffs. Should they regress, you are looking at a 9-8 season with no playoffs. There is no in between here.


This all said, it is early in Training Camp; a QB who skipped both Minicamp and OTAs. It is going to take a bit longer for the overall consistency and timing aspects to be down pat before the Regular Season. In addition, four new faces along the Offensive Line themselves for 2025; a player in Broderick Jones who has a microscope on him more magnified than any other Steelers Player. Give it time.


Should such porous results continue long into the second preseason game?! That will bring up a different discussion.

 

Sounds like Jones is finally getting things together, albeit he's also not facing Highsmith

On the latest double shot of Steelers they talked about how the offense looked good today. Even went so far as to say they looked formidable

 

It will probably take some time to get comfortable again on the left. Though, I do think it is encouraging that he has progressed throughout camp. Positive sign at least. We don't need him to be a stud, we just need him to be a quality starting level player. If he's an average pass blocker and a very good run blocker, then he's going to be a big improvement over Dan Moore.

Lets hope he builds some momentum by playing well in the preseason games. I cant wait for this weekend. Football *kinda* at last

 

But he does need to play in the preseason games

None of this 1 or 2 series and out

The entire OL needs the work

 

I agree but you know that ain’t happening. Pre season has become next to useless for first team players especially when they went to 3 games.

 

Rodgers certainly won't play in the pre season and now with Will Howard out for 3 weeks I wouldn't be surprised if the Steelers sign another QB for the next 3 weeks. I can't imagine Mason Rudolph and Skyler Thompson taking all of the pre season snaps.
