Besides the questionable OL play there is zero reason the Steelers should have struggled on O.

    fix the interior line play and we will be a great offense.... or put Redman in until we get a great OL and actually take advantage of his style of running.

      I agree that we need to add quality to the OL, but we don't need to draft heavily on the offensive side necessarily. If you look at our offense, there is youth everywhere (if Hines goes, Ben becomes the oldest guy on O). It is on defense where we have to replace older talent with younger talent on every level.

      I would agree that we have youth at the skill positions on offense, but no way on the OL. The only youth of any quality is Pouncey and Gilbert, that is only 40% of a solution with at best average back ups and we have two of them as staters.

        Get two quality Guards and any new OC will look like a genius. You can't start career back ups and expect to perform at a high level.

          Whats all this about ball control and running the ball?

          The Giants won the SB and weren't they last in the league in rushing and YPC?

            During the playoffs, the Giants ran the ball 112 times for 466 yards, which is good for 4.2 YPC. They also had two TD runs. Their running game played well enough to keep defenses honest.

              MJG said what everyone with a brain already knew, Arians is not a good coach. Despite an average or injured o-line Arians, has his head up his a$$ with his passing game.
              Every defense must have realized our running game only goes through the motions but was very unreliable.
              Our offense put fear into no one.

              If the Colts sucked last season, just wait until Arians gets a hold of them. He will find them an even deeper spot in hell.

              Arian has cost this teams so many wins and probably last seasons Super Bowl and this seasons Super Bowl.

                    That's exactly why I say that Andrew Luck is next.

                      They also barely made it into the playoffs. Until they discovered balance and then decided to focus on what was working their offense was putrid

                        You could have an all world offensive line, but if you continue to put them in positions to fail, they will.

                              When you can get pressure with 4 DL's it doesn't matter what the offense is doing.

                              The Giant's made the playoffs because of Eli's arm and the their DL.

                              They didn't "discover" balance... Bradshaw was hurt for 3 or 4 games and Jacobs is a scrub. Even before Bradshaw's injury the running game stunk.

                              The reason the Giant's made a run is because GB had a horrible game and their D stinks... and SF doesn't put up a ton of points and Alex Smith stunk.

                              Not trying to argue but it wasn't a magical discovery by the Giants.. it was that front 4.

                              If we could get pressure, sacks and TO's when sending 4 our O would've discovered balance and made a run..

                                To me our defense doesn't put a lot of pressure on the qb or at least it seemed that way to me this season. You have the number one defense, so little turnovers and again, Harrison & Woodley were either missing games or playing injured so, I really don't know how the defense ended up being ranked number one. It must have been to Lebeaus credit but, but, but.........I take away all that credit away after I seen what, he allowed in the Broncos playoff game.
