Mike Tomlin Needs More QB Protection From O-Line: ‘We’ve Got To Keep Them Cleaner’

There isn’t a position on the offensive side of the ball that you couldn’t say is still very much a work in progress. Not even running back, or tight end. Certainly not quarterback. And absolutely not the offensive line.

While the unit played better than one might have expected to see around this time last year, the offensive line still left a lot to be desired, and we did see how better mobility from the quarterback position can mitigate some of their issues, something head coach Mike Tomlin addressed in his post-game remarks.

We’ve got to keep them cleaner”, he said of the offensive line needing to protect the quarterbacks better than they did during the game, via the team’s website.
