Watching the Pittsburgh Steelers’ opening game live, you saw a team that was, by and large, having little trouble getting what they wanted on the ground with running back DeAngelo Williams in the backfield. The most logical conclusion would be that the offensive line blocked well consistently throughout the night.
Closer inspection reveals a more nuanced tale that gives a lot of credit to Williams himself for exploiting cut back lanes, lanes that were often opened up by the tight ends, particularly Matt Spaeth, when the line failed to provide the most inviting window.
