Chuks needs to be replaced, too

    I know all the eyes have been focussed on Moore, understandably, but Chuks just isn't working out either. He's near the bottom in RT rankings in both pass and run block win rates.

    Who played against Myles Garrett and Von Miller? Was that Chuks or was that Moore? We did pretty well against them?

    Thing is, I think we have scouted and drafted tackles who don't give much in the run game. The organization needs to be all in if they want to run the ball, from the GM and scouts to the Coaches and players.

    Chuks is probably their best pass blocker, there's a reason Banner can't get on the field.

    I can't recall a Steelers Oline as bad as this one is when it comes to run blocking. Once Munch left it all went downhill very quickly. People are saying already that Najee dances too much before hitting the hole even though there rarely ever is a hole to hit. The Bengals absolutely owned both sides of the ball in the trenches. I just have a hard time believing that we drafted this bad of players. I'm convinced that it has to be coaching that is the main problem.

    We are on on third offensive line coach in the last 3 years. Munch left in 2019, followed by Sarrett and now Klemm.

    Following Tomlin's STANDARD, all these replacements have been hired from within.

    The Steelers need to put a big HELP WANTED sign in the window for all coaching positions and see who applies. I guess now days it would be more like a posting on Indeed.com.

    It hasn't been quite that long. The last one was DeCastro in 2012. The injuries that cut his career short were one of the many things that led to this year's collapse.

    If he's their best with that win rate, that's pretty sad.

    I'm not talking about PFF stats, Chuks isn't giving up sacks or pressures.

    All of those guys on the OL are young, except Turner, we knew there would be growing pains it wasn't going to be fixed in one offseason.

    Because Ben's getting rid of the ball quickly. Fact is he's getting beat one on one often.

    Those are ESPN advanced stats, not PFF by the way.
