Former Steelers OL Trai Essex was in favor of keeping Pat Meyer this year, but he wants to see the OL coach improve the culture. Specifically, he took issue with something QB Aaron Rodgers said he had to do, which has been an ongoing theme. According to Rodgers, early in camp, he got on the OL for not helping their quarterbacks up.
In this case, it was Skylar Thompson, but it’s not the first time we’ve heard about similar issues with the Steelers’ OL in recent years. And in reality, it predates Pat Meyer, whom the team hired in 2022.
