    The Offensive Line

    Unless this team makes some serious investment in the line, we are going to see this window close. They have had bad offensive lines in the past, but this one is clearly the worst of them all. Other than Pouncey, none of them would start for any other team.

    For all the good things that Colbert has done...and there are many....the inability to draft and develop offensive line talent is going to be paid to the piper if not this year, in the very near future.

    I have no confidence that this team can beat anyone with a solid pass rush because 4 of the 5 offensive lineman simply shouldn't be starting.

    Outside of Pouncey, they are pretty damn craptastic. I just hope Ben doesn't get his career ended because Scott is worthless.

    I got news for you, Pouncey is getting abused this game too. I think his ankle is still bothering him.

    I have to agree with you. But even Pouncey with a busted up ankle is better than what they have in reserve.

    Jim Wexell tweeted today that Max is in shape again and his neck is healed. It's time to bring him in for a look. Scott is absolutely dreadful.

    Re: The Offensive Line

    Said this in the Gameday thread, but I'm going to say it again here: Scott needs to be released. Tonight. Leave his ass in Indy. You can get some 300-lb lardass from a local watering hole who could probably block better than that waste of space.

    I feel that Marcus is getting better every game, but he isn't to the level of Pouncey.

    We have been managing to get to the SB with this Swiss cheese of a O-line, but they are becoming more and more of a liability. Somethin's gotta change.

    We can't keep on referring to 2008 any longer. This team's offensive line is in disarray.

    Sad to say, but I hope it's a season ender. I think the Steelers are too stubborn to go off the roster for answers unless they're forced.

    Agreed....the '08 defense got turnovers and sacks that kept us in games. We're in the negative right now. Defense has been quiet up until Troy's TD

    Harrison coughed up the ball. Troy just ran it in.

    I'm tired of waiting for the front office to fix the OL. It's getting worse every year and it's going to get Ben killed.

    Re: The Offensive Line

    I wanna see where they're suppose to get the money to sign some of these guys people want them too. Some guys might have to restructure or something. Right now out of the starters Pouncey and Gilbert are the best 2. I'd like to see Gilbert at LT actually...and the other 3 spots no clue at this point...maybe brings Williams back and put him at RG and Foster LG and then whoevers left at RT? hahah Who knows

    Yeah, I know, but up until then, 0 turnovers for the defense.

    How should we be pronouncing "offensive" here?

    We should see if Jamarcus Russell is available.

    A turnstile would have been better at left tackle than J Scott.
