The last time the Steelers lost center Maurkice Pouncey to injury they never fully recovered the entire season. Pouncey was rolled up on by guard David DeCastro trying to do a cut-block and he was out for the season with a torn ACL eight minutes into the season.
The Steelers signed Doug Legursky this week to partner with Cody Wallace for center duties while Pouncey rehabs but I think the big difference maker this time around is Mike Munchak.
The Steelers would go on to have their worst start since 1934, losing their first four games.
