The Pittsburgh Steelers attempted to revamp their offensive line this offseason, bringing in a new line coach and two new starters in free agency. They failed to come out of the draft with any further assistance—to the chagrin of a great many—but there has been some progress with the hope of further success as chemistry builds.
Part of whatever modicum of success the line has achieved head coach Mike Tomlin credited to his new starting center, free-agent acquisition Mason Cole, whom he described in his Tuesday pre-game press conference as a ‘Steady Eddie’ presence in the middle of the offensive line.
