Steelers really waited too long to address the offensive line. Not just talking about this year but lets face it passing on Creed Humphry might not have been the best decision. I love Freiermuth but Creed is just killing it this year grading out at 80 in pff and Josh Myers isn’t far behind at 77. Kendrick Green is grading out at 55. Good news that’s the same as forum favorite Quinn Meinerz. I honestly think even a bigger problem is the Steelers didn’t address this issue years before in the draft. Pouncey, Big Al, DeCastro, Feiler all old and free agents upcoming and the Steelers didn’t try to grab more mid round offensive linemen in hopes of having one or two starters waiting in the wings for this year. And then the one decent young guy they did develop they let him go in Matt Feiler. I mean 7 million a year for a guy that can play every position on your line and right now grades out at 82 overall in pff is cheap for a LG.
I guess what I’m saying is this is more than Roethlisberger getting old, or Tomlin being an inept coach. This rebuild I feel goes higher. I think new coaching, new GM, and to be honest all the way to Art the deuce. His inability to handle the same problems year after year is infuriating. I don’t see him selling his Golden goose but maybe hire someone who isn’t a moron to handle day to day operations.
