It may not have been their best performance, but the Steelers offensive line deserves some credit for surviving Sunday’s Titans’ game. Pittsburgh began the game without left tackle Max Starks. Then Flozell Adams started melting in the heat, forcing Tony Hills into the lineup. Late in the third quarter Trai Essex suffered an ankle injury and Doug Legursky stepped in. When Chris Kemoeatu needed a break in the fourth quarter, Hills played guard for the first time as a member of the Steelers. At that point, Pittsburgh was a dehydration and/or injury away from running out of linemen......

the steelers really need to find a tackle in next year's draft. someone to groom for a couple of years.

Isn't it likely to be over 90 degrees again in Tampa?...Ugh!

Agreed, we need a stud tackle without a doubt and it's really hard to get one in the later rounds and dumpster diving which has been the way of the Steelers in recent years.

All those substitutions on the O line yet the Center remains on the field, gotta love that.
