The Steelers Are Protecting Their Quarterback — But They Have To Protect Themselves, Too

Related Topics: Russell Wilson, Myles Garrett

The Pittsburgh Steelers all-in investment on the offensive line is multi-fold. A core belief that games are won up front. Andy Weidl’s experience building the trenches and turning the Philadelphia Eagles into a contender. Improving the run game, the foundation of this offense, and giving Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren the best group to produce behind. But a sturdy o-line also protects the quarterback. It buys them more time, reduces hits and boosts the passing game. That’s obvious enough.

Presumed starter Russell Wilson will feel that benefit, but he’ll need to tweak his style to truly change his outcomes.
