After rebuilding the offensive line significantly this offseason, the return on the investment hasn’t quite been up to expectations for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The run game has struggled to get off the ground, and the offensive line really struggled to protect Ben Roethlisberger in Week 2, leaving the 39-year-old quarterback bruised and battered, causing him to head into the Week 3 matchup dealing with a pectoral injury.
Though the offensive line has been under constant criticism and general fire, veteran right guard Trai Turner, who was brought in this summer to replace David DeCastro, stated Friday in his media session that the offensive line is facing a continuous learning curve throughout the 2021 season.
