For all the concerns over the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line entering this season, many of which were justified, they’ve been a steady group. One on the “upswing,” as Mike Tomlin said after the team’s Sunday night win over the Baltimore Ravens.
The team’s biggest prize added this free agency was OG James Daniels. A young but experienced player in Chicago, Daniels played poorly in camp and preseason, adjusting to OL Coach Pat Meyer’s rules of the road when it comes to pass protection. But after those summer struggles, he’s become the team’s best lineman this year. And that’s not just the “low bar” award like recent season’s past.
