    You placed the argument based on height, not athleticism. Stop moving the goal posts. A great player will always be a great player; height limitations or otherwise.

    Half of these reps look like BroJo just doesn't.... care. Half hearted effort.

    "Some times" a schooling like Broderick got Sunday, makes for a better lineman.
    For me, right now is a concern. I'm going to have a chat with him if I am the coach and remind him that #8's uniform is not to get dirty.
    There have been times where he has been a beast at OT but he can't let play like Sunday be the normal.

    I agree with you on the things he is bad at, I don't agree always about the coaching. If that was true every 1st round draft pick would be great eventually. Sometimes GMs reach for players that don't belong in the 1st round. We watched Moore get better every year he was here, and he was a 4th round pick, and not great, but better than Jones, at least right now.

    This whole thing makes me laugh at all the old .....
    Tomlin starts Moore over Jones because he's has some infatuation with Moore, or the ......He started Moore over Jones because they don't know what they are doing. LoL
    When many of us tried saying that Moore started at LT because Jones couldn't beat him out.

    Broderick Jones is a Bust at OT!! Sorry, at RT he allowed the 2nd most sacks . His feet are just too slow for today’s OLB /DE. He gets off balanced which negates his strength .

    To save his career he needs to move inside to OG!! That won’t happen this year, must be done in OTA’s-Training Camp.

    To save the season And Rodgers we need to put Peat in at LG and MT. Washington at TE on his side. Seumalo is a Backup OG. He sucks in space!!

    I hate Miley Garrett but he going to kill Rodgers if we don’t do something soon on that side of the ball!! DO something!! If it doesn’t work Do Something Else.!!!

    Moore had a rough game yesterday vs Broncos D. I watched the 2nd half of that game.

    The Cleveland game is a ways away.

    I don't know how many 4 sack games Aaron Rodgers has left in him.

    You know the Steelers will not do this. Especially with non skill players.

    It's just a matter of time before he gets injured. Enjoy it while it lasts.

    My thoughts on Jones - does not look like a tackle, stands to high in his stance, lunges at defenders, not enough weight on him. No mean streak. I think both Tackles need excellent coaching from an O-line guru and we don’t have a 1st year teaching assistant in that position, IMO.

    He reduced his weight for this year.He needs to live in the weight room and work on his tecnique. Steelers need a new OL coach.

    Been my complaint about him since last season.
    After watching every snap of his from last season one analyst said his play looked lackadaisical.

    Thanks for the video.
    It shows if you have any speed Jones can't handle you. The only time he was decent is when they had the bigger guys in.

    Brandon Thorn.


    He discussed so with Derrick Bell; a Steelers Fan this past off-season. More often than not, Brandon is on the money with Offensive Lineman prospects. Hopefully he is wrong about BroJo but it is looking like he isn't.

    Before you give up on the Player they actually desperately need, change his Oline Coach now!

    If he hasn't done it by now, he ain't gonna do it.


    I was really skeptical of Jones coming out... he was super in experienced, with not that many starts under his belt. His tape was more impressive as a run blocker than in pass pro.


    Steelers are gonna have to spread teams out this year and get rid of the ball quick.

    Rodgers can't run and our line can't block.

    This is Jones' 3rd season. In the opener he gave up 3 sacks. Not good. His run blocking was spotty too.

    While the coaching at the OL is poor, so is his play. The man is beaten time and again out of his stance due to his lack of agility / foot quickness. No coach can fix that. While a better coach can help him a little with his hand play he is underwhelming and a repeat performance like this and we need to think about using a plan B at Left Tackle.

    Jones is dangerously close to being a bust.

    Question , is the OL coaching poor???
    Frazier seems ok in 2nd year. McCormick seems on in 2nd year. Troy seems ok in his (virtually ) 1st season.

    Doesn't change the fact that as this moment he's a better LT than Jones.
    Also I'm not saying Jones can't be good, or won't ever be good, but he's not right now
