Whaley: ‘Legitimate Concern’ O-Line Won’t Hold Up If Steelers Need To Play From Behind

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson has elevated the team’s play-action passing attack over the last two games, but former NFL GM Doug Whaley wants to see the Steelers try and spread teams out more. Whaley said it’s a “legitimate concern” that we haven’t seen the Steelers diversify their offense, because he isn’t sure the offensive line will be able to hold up when that happens.

“That’s a legitimate concern. Especially with the way Broderick Jones is really yo-yoing his performance, and mostly yo-yoing down instead of up. And then you also got Zach Frazier not in there,” Whaley said in response to a question from Adam Crowley about the offensive line holding up and the Steelers potentially needing to come from behind in games on The Fan Morning Show.
