Steelers Offensive Line Breakdown Play By Play Versus Titans Week 2

Below is the play by play break down of the offensive line from the first half of the week 2 game versus the Tennessee Titans. It is merely a pass or fail grade on if I think they did their job. It also should be noted that we go under assumptions that we know what the assignment on each play was. We have to grade on what we see and go from there. we added small notes to each play as well. As always if you disagree with any play, do so respectfully in the comments and give your reason so I can go back through and rewatch your disagreement.

The second half will be uploaded here shortly.

We also have the four sacks allowed Sunday right here!
