Fittipaldo: Steelers Want To ‘Give Some Deference’ To Dan Moore Jr. In Ongoing LT Battle

Outside of the quarterback debate for the Pittsburgh Steelers, quietly, the ongoing battle at offensive tackle is an important one, one that has been a bit overlooked at times.

But now, there appears to be some clarity, at least based on a report from the Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac. Rookie Troy Fautanu will be the starting right tackle when the Steelers take on the Atlanta Falcons on the road on Sept. 8 to open the season, while the left tackle position will come down to a battle between Dan Moore Jr. and Broderick Jones.

That decision from the Steelers is a bit confusing for the Post-Gazette’s Ray Fittipaldo.
