The Pittsburgh Steelers are stepping a bit out of the box, at least the box that they typically put themselves in, when it comes to putting together the offensive line this week in the absence of left guard Ramon Foster, who is missing a second game due to a concussion.
There have only been very rare instances in which the team has opted to move a starter from one position to another, and install a backup in the other player’s original position, in order to accommodate such a circumstance. I can recall several years back when they moved Maurkice Pouncey to guard when there was an injury because they were much more comfortable with Doug Legursky’s ability to handle the center position.
