Merril Hoge offered a bleak, though accurate, picture of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line and by extension, their running game. He joined DVE’s Randy Baumann yesterday to talk about the team’s run blocking woes up front.
“They went back to a lot of man blocking schemes,” Hoge told the show. “I think we talked about that. You’ve got number 76 [RT Chukwuma Okorafor] blocking. Their pad level is so high that they get no movement. I mean they’re blocking with their chest and they’re doing a dance at the line of scrimmage. You can’t run the ball like that.
