Current teammates and coaches may be incentivized to tactfully handle public criticism of players, but that doesn’t apply to former players. Ben Roethlisberger spent most of his career absorbing blame, but today, he dished a little out to second-year OT Broderick Jones.
Overall, Roethlisberger said he likes the Steelers’ offensive line despite its growing pains and stressed how big of a deal it was that Troy Fautanu, the first-round rookie, was lost for the year with an injury. The trajectory of the offensive line’s interior looks strong, but Roethlisberger has big concerns about offensive tackle.
“You’ve got to figure out what happens at your tackle spots,” Roethlisberger said via his Footbahlin’ podcast on YouTube.
