One of the challenges the Steelers face heading into the 2021 season is to rebuild their once-stellar offensive line. Their play regressed significantly the past two seasons from its level under former coach Mike Munchack, who departed Pittsburgh in 2018. Munchack’s successor, Shaun Sarrett, was fired in January, resulting in the promotion of his assistant, Adrian Klemm. Klemm is now tasked with improving the performance of a unit that contributed to the league’s worst rushing attack.
Klemm has spoken at length this off-season about changing the mind-set up front. He is emphasizing physicality and moving people off the line of scrimmage.
