A surprising report surfaced at the beginning of this week from Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Steelers insider Gerry Dulac stating that the team views Troy Fautanu as its second-best offensive linemen. The plan, according to Dulac, was for Fautanu to assume the full-time starting role against the Buffalo Bills in the second preseason game on his way to starting Week 1 of the regular season. Perhaps the more surprising part of that report is that Broderick Jones would be competing with Dan Moore Jr. at left tackle.
I think the assumption for most of the offseason has been that once Fautanu earned the right tackle job, Jones would slot in on the left side.
