Former GM Michael Lombardi Suggests Steelers Make Phone Call To QB Ryan Tannehill: ‘He Knows Arthur’s Offense’

Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, Ryan Tannehill? That’s what former NFL general manager Michael Lombardi floated during a Tuesday appearance on the Pat McAfee Show.

The Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line put up a disastrous performance against the Buffalo Bills in Week two of the preseason. OT Broderick Jones looked like a shell of himself, and two or three lineman were getting beat consistently in pass protection, leading to three first quarter Russell Wilson sacks. The o-line was expected to build on their momentum from a strong finish in the 2023 season, so it’s a bit alarming to see them get dismantled against a starting defense, even if it’s only a preseason game in August.
