    All true but the reason we have not seen him, except for the last two games in which he was inactive is that he was on the Covid list. Is t that right? So he has basically been on the shelf with Covid and has had hardly any practice or preseason. Should we really be surprised he hasn’t been in any games yet? So what you outline should be completely expected given the situation.

    My guess is he will get every chance to play now. His practice reps will increase significantly.

    Frankly, I don’t want him for Pittsburgh. They have excelled in making their defense complicated, and if he is struggling at all in that regard, he doesn’t need to be out there. They will eat him alive.

    In general that is probably true. Work him into some packages perhaps, but starting him in this game is likely risky. Ty will start at LT and Kelly at RT.

    One thing which has to help is that the Titans have studied the Steelers and have a gameplan already in place.

    Extra time to prepare is always good.

    They also lost devin bush inside LB for the season , might offset some of T. Lewan loss.

    These studies don’t show anything.
    Here’s a challenge, show me an OL who tore his ACL while wearing a brace.

    Indeed. But now, with Sambrailo in there, I'm hoping it gives the coaches more time to figure out how to get him help.

    The Steelers now have to account for Brown and Davis too.

    If only we had drafted one that could pass block.

    Oh. No, in this case I was referring to Sambrailo.

    I was way wrong too. Never saw or heard of him before so I thought he was a rookie. Guy has 6 years.

    So, I hope the 6 year vet is ready.
