Steelers Lack Veteran Presence On Offense – And It’s Showing

This much is obvious. There’s no magical cure to fix the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense. Rebuilding that unit will be a slow, probably painful and bumpy process, and one that can’t really get started properly until the offseason. No one scheme, player, or coach is going to turn around their fortunes.

For all the obvious problems, the poor situational football, the lack of big plays, the mental and fundamental issues, there’s one underlying issue that gets little attention. The Steelers’ offense lacks any sense of veteran leadership and presence and it’s hurting this unit more than you think.

Pittsburgh being a young offense isn’t a revelation.
