    I feel bad for the guy. He has unfair expectations from some fans who think this offense and coaching staff have any clue at all (in addition to a crap oline mind you!)

    Let’s get real here.
    I'm baffled at why does it take so long to put together a decent offensive line. It's been 3 years and they still can't get it right. Adding one guy in the first round was not enough.

      I thought our line was improving late last season and praise was being heaped on the Munchak replacement? And we supposedly upgraded the line in the offseason. What happened? Is it just taking time for them to "gel"?

        I think its the blocking scheme. They simplified things during the bye. Looks like they tried to implement those things again this offseason and its just not working.. lol.

          it?s the arrogance of the Steelers thinking they were ?the standard? and not select an offensive lineman in the first 2 rounds for over TEN years! Arrogance and delusions of the past imo.

            Canning Dotson and inserting Seumalo is the only change made from last season. And Seumalo hasn't looked good. So this 'upgrade' was minor at best.

              I guess you've got a point. Because I just went and looked at the first two games and it's pretty painful to watch. The O-line play may be microscopically better but nowhere significant enough. Basically, we still have no O-line. So maybe, ...just maybe it's wrong to critique any of the skill players. Because when you have no O-line, doesn't matter who the skill people are.

                Every other team drafts guys and puts them in the game, why do the Steelers so stubbornly refuse to give a rookie a chance? Dick LeBeau was famous for this but at least he had pedigree to make those decisions. Matt Canada and whoever the offensive line coach is do not have any pedigree to lean on, Jones should be playing.
