As many know by now, Steelers’ head coach Mike Tomlin announced that the team was opening 2020 by moving tackle Matt Feiler back to the left guard spot vacated by the retirement of Ramon Foster.
This move has major ramifications for the entire line. It means starters at two new positions instead of one. It forsakes continuity for familiarity. And it gambles that Chukwuma Okorafor or Zach Banner will be ready to start on opening night. It’s not an announcement to be taken lightly.
