Tomlin: Offensive Line ‘Better Be Successful Along The Way’ As New Group Continues To Gel

Following a disastrous 2021 season in the trenches for the Pittsburgh Steelers, former GM Kevin Colbert threw some money at the problem in free agency prior to his retirement, signing the likes of veterans Mason Cole and James Daniels to address some interior offensive line issues.

Not only did Colbert bring in those two veterans, he retained right tackle Chukwuma Okorafor in free agency as well, allowing the Steelers to continue to grow and have some continuity along the offensive line while transitioning to a new position coach in Pat Meyer.

So far, the early returns are not promising in the trenches ahead of the 2022 season, which has draw the ire of head coach Mike Tomlin, especially after the debacle that was the preseason performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars in mid-August.
