The Pittsburgh Steelers OTAs and minicamps are http://www.cheapdolphinsonline.com/shop-by-players-jordan-phillips-... now history. Next up is training camp. How does the offensive line look these days?
Welcome to Part 5 of this series on NFL Spin Zone. To recap, the players for the Pittsburgh Steelers have a brief respite prior to training camp. Thus, we are breaking down various position groups and units for Mike Tomlin’s club. We have already have previewed the quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends. Now it’s time to dip into the trenches and doing a little evaluation of the offensive line.
From pillar to post (aka tackle to tackle), the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive front is a formidable unit. But when it comes to this group, http://www.cheappatriotssale.com/shop-by-players-dion-lewis-jersey-... experienced depth is certainly a concern.
In strong side performer Alejandro Villanueva and right-sider Marcus Gilbert, Mike Tomlin’s club has the league’s 24th- and 11th-ranked tackles in the NFL via Pro Football Focus. They also have versatile Chris Hubbard. He filled in for Gilbert for three starts this past season and can also line up at both center and guard.
Left guard Ramon Foster (2) and two-time Pro Bowler David DeCastro (9) can both be found in Pro Football Focus’ Top 10 list at their positions. Veteran center Maurkice Pouncey has been named to the Pro Bowl in five of the six seasons he’s been on the field. After missing all of 2015, the two-time All-Pro started 15 games this past year.
For now, the new backup pivot is Kyle Friend, who Jelani Jenkins Youth Jersey spent much of the 2016 season on the New York Jets practice squad. Meanwhile, reserve center Cody Wallace remains an unsigned free agent.
