It’s not often that the Pittsburgh Steelers opt to fiddle with things that don’t need fiddling with, but they did that this past week when they opted to seek alternatives to B.J. Finney as the top interior reserve.
With Ramon Foster missing a second straight game, the team took the unorthodox approach of moving guard-capable right tackle Matt Feiler inside, and starting backup tackle Chukwuma Okorafor. In doing so, they made changes at two positions, something that they typically try to avoid as often as possible.
Head coach Mike Tomlin was asked during his pre-game press conference if it was the plan going forward to continue to take this approach for the following game, coming up on Thursday against the Cleveland Browns.
