Steelers vs. Chargers

Well, considering the M.A.S.H. unit the defense currently is, it was a much better game than it had a right to be.

Ben signs 3y deal with the Steelers… as the new OC in 2022

Many teams have folded in similar situations. Impressive performance in a brutal situation.

which begs the question, why bring a 39 year old Ben back for a possible final playoff run and put him behind a line like this?

Because the Steelers organization didn't give one second of thought to what happens Post Ben Roethlisberger

Yeah, that must be it. Man, you just have it all figured out, don't you?

I think the front office attempted to address the line issue. They weren't expecting DeCastro to pack it in on top of Pouncey. They drafted 2 lineman but again another questionable Tomlin decision promoting Klemm to be our O line coach. I'm all for bringing in young talent but considering how much of a drop off there was when Munchak left and Sarrett got promoted, to turn around and do the exact same thing with another coach that had only been an assistant when there were so many issues to address is simply rolling the dice and hoping. Same thing with Canada. Canada was OC for 7 different college teams and none of them were all that upset when he moved on and no one was clamoring for him to take over somewhere. Not sure exactly what was so amazing about him that Tomlin wanted him in charge of our offense.

You answer it then? Why is this team failing, with an offensive line as bad as it is ,why not find someone mobile?

Probably because a second-string defense gave up 40+ points. The offense scored 27 in a quarter and the offensive line collapsed one time at the end. It isn't a mystery that needs to be solved, no need to call Columbo.

Yes. It's easy to plan for the future when you lose your call player for the defense with a career ending injury, you have to give away your star WR for a box of Cracker Jack because he's kookoocachoo, your star RB sits out for an entire year because that's makes him more money in Lev math class, and your HOF center retires a year before you expect him to. And that's only 4 of the plethora of unexpected things this front office has had to deal with while their HOF QB is getting long in the tooth and his backup has fallen short of the sticks.

By mobile you want a RB at QB? O-Line does nothing when Najee has the ball. So what makes you think a running QB (not mobile…two different things) would do anything?
