    Is this O-Line going to be much better than last year?

    O-line (according to OTAs)

    Here was the O-line depth chart from OTAs:

    LT: Moore
    LG: Dotson … Green
    C: Cole
    RG: Daniels … Green
    RT: Chuks

    Cole and Daniels will be upgrades, hopefully Dotson's healthy and Moore has a 2nd year jump.

    Unless I mistaken this will be Dotson's third year. Better than last year, yes. We still need to find a better RT, a rock a center, and a new LG. Hopefully Moore pan's out.
    The Steelers had a great draft in 2023. However better play calling / coaching is badly needed. Tomlin is 19-18-1 in last 38 games played and hasn't won a playoff game in six years and counting. Nor has hired anyone good to his coaching staff. Think about that. But Khan and Weidl appear to have better management on the salary cap and focused on the right free agents and draft needs.

    Dotson was hurt last year.

    Exactly. This OL will be better.. but I guess "Better" is a relative term...

    Bingo.....
    From the 2011-2022 season,(A 12 year period that the majority of Cowher's players & coaches had left) Mike Tomlin has only won 3 playoff games. And two of those wins were against back up Quarterbacks. Currently, Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in 6 years.

    Steeler fans still loving on Tomlin now, are the same as Dolphin fans in the 90's who were still loving on Shula for what he did in the 70's

    They were about 1.5 out of 10 last year. This year, maybe a 3.5 out of 10. Not even average but better.

    The line will almost definitely be better next year because there was a perfect storm of factors that made last year's line one of the worst we have ever seen:

    Rookie LT
    Revolving door LG
    Rookie project at C
    August signee coming off of injury at RG
    The lone holdover playing out of position at RT who got the job through injury a second year in a row

    How much better depends on a bunch of things, but it should be better.

    Agree. They added talent and young guys got more experience. None of these guys are without talent. In addition, the opposing defensive lines aren't going to be able to tee off going after a statue at QB. Just introducing designed roll outs will make a difference
