I’m certainly not the first to say it, but it feels especially appropriate to say right about now: The Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t hardly done a damn thing for a decade now. They have one appearance in the AFC championship game and three total postseason victories since appearing in the Super Bowl in 2010.
Why is now a timely reminder? Because we’ve just witnessed the completion of the dissolution of one of the team’s core units of that era: The offensive line. Over the past two years, Ramon Foster, Maurkice Pouncey, and Marcus Gilbert have all retired, while Alejandro Villanueva and Matt Feiler left via free agency.
