Former NFL O-Line Coach Paul Alexander Weighs In On Steelers’ Rebuilt Offensive Line

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2021 offensive line play was, in a word, uninspiring. Former Offensive Line Coach Paul Alexander, who coached the division rival Cincinnati Bengals offensive line for 24 seasons delved into said poor play and what it means for 2022.

“Yeah, last year wasn’t good enough,” Alexander said in an interview with Sirius XM show Movin’ the Chains regarding the Steelers’ 2021 O-line play. “They started two rookies, Kendrick Green, and Dan Moore [Jr.], third and fourth-round picks. Green at center, Moore at left tackle. And then they said, hey, this isn’t enough.”

The Steelers’ 2021 offseason saw the departure of long-time starters guard David DeCastro, center Maurkice Pouncey, and tackle Alejandro Villanueva.
