‘Don’t Think He’s Played Nearly Well Enough:’ Beat Writer Critical Of OG Isaac Seumalo’s ‘Underwhelming’ Play

Though much attention has been focused on a young Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line, the group’s elder statesman is open for criticism, too. Veteran left guard Isaac Seumalo isn’t getting the job done, says Athletic beat writer Mike DeFabo.

“I don’t think that he’s played nearly well enough,” DeFabo told 93.7 The Fan’s Joe Starkey and Bob Pompeani on Thursday afternoon. “I’ve truthfully been underwhelmed by Seumalo his entire career here with the Steelers.”

Signed to a three-year deal ahead of the 2023 offseason, DeFabo’s assessment is largely fair. Though Seumalo has been steady and trusted, his play hasn’t been anything close to dominant.
