One of the most important yet least-understood aspects of football is blocking, and blocking as a unit. It’s generally understood by everyone in the game that having a good offensive line is paramount to good offensive football. You won’t have much success running the ball, and your quarterback won’t have time to throw, if your line can’t do its job.
The Pittsburgh Steelers were blessed not only with quite a bit of talent along the offensive line, but also a top-flight instructor, when Mike Munchak fell into their laps in 2014. It was the first year of his professional football life that he had ever spent outside of the Oilers/Titans organization.
