Steelers ‘Not In That Mode’ Yet To Determine Backup Tackles – Meaning They Don’t Know The Starters Either

The Pittsburgh Steelers only have a couple weeks to go, but they still have some sorting out to do. We don’t even know, for example, which tackles will be starting, and where they will be playing. There are several variables in play, each affecting the other, and three possible line combinations. Dan Moore Jr., Broderick Jones, and Troy Fautanu are the candidates, but who plays and where?

“I don’t know that we’re ready to identify that”, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said on Thursday when asked about the backup tackle position, via transcript provided by the Steelers.
