The Pittsburgh Steelers escaped Week 1 with a 34-32 victory over the New York Jets. Still, the offensive line has plenty of work to do to improve its blocking. While Aaron Rodgers’ quick release (a league-best 2.9 seconds) and four touchdown passes via play-action stole headlines, the ground game sputtered, managing just 53 yards on 20 attempts. As the Steelers prepare for a tough Seattle Seahawks defensive front in Week 2, Fautanu offered a breakdown of the technical details he believes will elevate the unit’s performance.
Speaking to George Von Benko on WMBS Radio this week, Fautanu emphasized that the run game is very close to breaking out.
