Trai Turner Embracing Steelers’ Desire To Rebuild A Physical Offensive Line

Adrian Klemm wants the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line to return to its physical roots. To be a tough, nasty, in-your-face kind of front five. You don’t have to tell Trai Turner twice.

Known for being a violent run blocker, Trai Turner joined Jim Rome to discuss his mentality in the run game.

“When you got guys with the ears pinned back on the other side and you’re teeing off on the ball,” Turner told The Jim Rome Show.” They’re trying to get sacks and look pretty and all that, it’s cool, right? But when you able to hit somebody in the mouth play after play, and it’s like a body blow or a jab, you’re softening people up.
