If the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting offensive line ends up consisting of the five players most commonly projected, then they may only have one starter who has played at his 2021 position for more than two starts when the season opens. That introduces a lot of variables and uncertainty, raising questions about how the unit, which is so often said to depend upon chemistry, will perform.
That’s far less of a concern, however, for the players on the field than it is for those observing from the outside, said one of those players. It’s “concerning for you guys who write the articles”, projected right tackle Zach Banner quipped when speaking to reporters earlier today if there was a worry about the lack of experience on the offensive line.
