Mike Tomlin still pondering Steelers OT spots vs Falcons
There's nothing like waiting until the last minute. As of Tuesday, when Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin spoke to the media, he isn't sure which of his two starting offensive tackles will start on which side when they take on the Atlanta Falcons this Sunday.
For most of the preseason, Broderick Jones has lined up on the right side while Dan Moore Jr. has started on the left. The Steelers original plan at offensive tackle included rookie Troy Fautanu but a knee injury took him out of the fold long enough to complicate things.
The Steelers offensive line is already down starting right guard Isaac Seumalo and will be starting rookie center Zach Frazier. Not knowing where the offensive tackles will be lining up doesn't inspire confidence this week when this offensive is predicated on being able to run the football.
We expect Jones to stay on the right until Fautanu returns but we aren't convinced Moore is going to just give up his starting spot.
