Broderick Jones

[TDX27]

Thread from the news forum with article from SN. Here is my comment.

Since the title is about B. Jones, I figured I'd put my comment here. It is beyond laughable seeing so many Steelers fans (just read any of the PG chats and even some on here) that seem to have no idea Jones is a natural LT and that he stepped up to move to RT (never played it before in any significance) when Moore absolutely could not. He is now moving back to his natural LT. He is not SWITCHING to LT as he did as a rookie (and last year), SWITCHING to RT. He should feel much better being able to focus this offseason on his natural LT position and not trying to learn RT while staying somewhat sharp at LT in case he was needed due to Moore going down with an injury. I firmly believe he will be better this year at his natural position. Of course, I could be wrong, but the comments from so many about this are truly laughable. Give the kid a chance to show why they drafted him to be their LT.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are going through a major change on the offensive line. The interior will likely remain the same with Isaac Seumalo, Zach Frazier, and Mason McCormick holding down the fort. However, there will be some shuffling at the tackle positions. Pittsburgh's four-year starting left tackle Dan Moore Jr. left the Steelers to sign a massive deal with the Tennessee Titans, and this will allow third-year tackle Broderick Jones to finally return to his natural position on the left side.

Yeah... i get that with roster limitations guys have to play out of natural position, but with sports science where it is at, youd think teams would be able to figure out where a guy is optimized at.. not everyone can play every spot

Things just get all mixed up when one guy with a short leg comes before any other consideration.

I just hope that all OL guys this year have normal legs.

They just should have prioritized the first rounder who they traded up for over a fourth rounder who was going to be replaced and gone at the end of the '24 season. In the long run, all that was accomplished was one more year of wasted evaluation and development.
