While the Pittsburgh Steelers went through a period in the late-00s and early 2010s in which their offensive line play, let’s say, left a little something to be desired, that group of linemen still played an important role within the overall structure of the team. They were also a big part of the ‘heart’ of that locker room, both on and off the field.
Guys like Willie Colon and Chris Kemoeatu set the tone for the club on the field. They were physical, they were emotional, and they were quick to let people know where they stand. The Steelers had Maurkice Pouncey as their emotional leader for years, but their line this year is nearly totally different.
