    Don’t be so sure about Moore, if he’s the better player, he’ll play sooner rather than later regardless if they want him as the swing tackle.

    Dotson sat in the playoff debacle after proving he was head and shoulders better than Feiler at guard. Don’t be so sure that the better player will get the snaps. Tomlin seems to value experience over talent, even when it’s obvious to most that the experienced player isn’t getting the job done.

    I think it’s more that Tomlin doesn’t believe in losing your job to injury.

    Dotson is starting now despite lack of experience.

    Almost killed his knees in Dallas. Go back and watch that hit. High, and low. LoL. People wondered why He stopped going deep. Hell He didn't want 2 hang on 2 the ball that long.

    Who is starting tonight, and who is not playing for the Offensive line?


    Looking forward to Gentry vs Rader tonight, because I believe the loser goes home. 1 roster spot open and I think Rader gets picked up by another team if we try to put him on the practice squad.

    Except when he benched Hines Ward and started playing the young money crew more.

    The Steelers starting OL played 12 snaps together this preseason. Baptism by fire coming in a couple weeks.

    as moore has said, he's not comfortable on the right side. why o why would you weaken what you have or could have as a strength by letting him start at LT and have a known guy be the swing tackle in okrafor and have haeg actually play before okrafor would enter as the backup RT. turner has not strengthened anything really. we have weakened the secondary and the o-line in one fail swoop. things just don't add up in some of the thinking from this staff and front office. what the heck has okrafor done for them to be so enamored by him? even if moore struggles slightly in the pass protection, it's no worse then okrafor but the difference in making our number one pick that much better would be better served. just nuts if you ask me. :cool:

    IMO ...Moore should be the Left Tackle.

    Not surprising as he looked good last year as well.

    No clue why they decided to put Feiler in for that play-off game. You'd think they'd stick with a guy that had just played solid against that same team...

    Of course they just kept JC Hassenauer over Finney for back-up center, even though IMHO he looked lost and really slow.

    Moore's rating looked worse against the starters in that last preseason game.
    Hmm, interesting. I don't get why everyone is afraid of the Bulrush on him. Bigger guys did the same on Pouncey his whole career.

    I'm both surprised and not surprised

    I really thought only 2 guys at center could start day 1. Dickerson and Humprey....I think Myers is going to start for the Packers. Minerz is backup in Denver.

    With all the reps they gave KG. I'm surprised not even giving him the first shot
