Even Munchak couldn't have turned this pile of shit into filet mignon.

To be fair he was a LT being used as a RT. Not saying he would have been better on the left side but he was more comfortable there. He did fine there his rookie season when he got time. Looked like the Steelers had the LT for a decade. Then his second year he went to shit.
Not surprising that the Steelers used him incorrectly. Ditto for 65.

I wasn’t nearly as impressed with Chuks on the left side as you were and I predict he will fail miserably in New England.

To me, this isn’t a Kevin Dotson type situation where Dotson looked goddamn near dominant on the right side and for absolutely no reason, the Steelers moved him to LG where he struggled mightily. Dotson goes to the Rams, is immediately installed at RG and becomes one of the best offensive linemen in the NFL.

That ain’t happening with Chuks. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was out of football in 2025. He blows.

“He blows”, yet he was starting last season and didn’t get bumped out of the starting role until he said something that pissed off that Great Leader of Men™.

As long as he stays healthy, I doubt he’ll be out of football in 2025. One thing that’s been made clear from the departure of Dotson and Green and the 2 miserable seasons of Mason Cole, the Steelers O-Line coaching and talent recognition/deployment has been shit for a while. Another blemish on the reputation of the coaching staff.

I think it’s interesting that almost everyone that leaves has something to say about Jibbs, and it’s never positive. Like his coaching bona fides, his stellar reputation seems more myth than reality.

I wouldn't say "he blows". I'd say he's average and he'll stick around the NFL if he's healthy. That isn't a ringing endorsement either. But if you were to rank the Oline last year, I'd say Chuks was better at his job than Dan Moore (who didn't get benched).

Moore isn't exactly a high bar and he's probably better in a back up role.

Chuks was so bad, a rookie replaced him and the team started dominating opponents on the ground.

Not only does Chuks suck (don't get me wrong, so does Moore....but at least Moore was cheap. Chuks was waaaaaaaaay overpaid) he looked even worse after Jones took over at RT.

Don't know why, but Cool Shades LOVES to ease rookies in, despite them being obvious upgrades to the guys ahead of them on the depth chart, it isn't funny.

Pickett being behind Trubisky week one was probably the biggest blunder in his history. Kenny should have taken his lumps early, instead of being thrown in against Miami, Buffalo, the Eagles and I forget who else.

You can do that I guess, when you have a job for life, like Mikey T.

I wasn't endorsing Chuks but he had a solid rookie year at LT. He won the swing Tackle role after preseason, dressed for every game and when the Steelers went to the unbalanced line he was the 6th OL. Those are facts. Not bad for a rookie LT.
Like I said, it all went to shit the next year. He looked lost on both sides and I believe he didn't dress much that second year.

He never recovered after that second season but he was miscast in his last years with the Steelers. I remember reading that they tried Moore at RT in camp and he was horrid. We never found out who was the better LT b/n Moore and Chuks because Chuks never got another chance at LT.

Dotson was never dominant for the Steelers nor was he near dominant(RG). Yeah, as a road grader he could be a beast but his Pass Pro was inconsistent. Again, the Steelers miscast another OL by not giving them a second chance at a more natural position for that particular player.

And I'm not saying that Chuks is going to shine in NE. Will he get a chance at LT? I wouldn't be surprised if he does.

Yeah, we watched 2 different players for sure. Dotson was outstanding (okay, maybe not outstanding, but SERIOUSLY PROMISING) his one year at RG with the Steelers. Unbelievably, they go out and find another expensive RG in James Daniels and move Dotson to the left side. I mean, if you didn't think Dotson played well on the right side for the Steelers then we really aren't seeing the same thing.

I guess I'll just leave these two things here. We'll see how Chuks does in New England. Don't bet your house he's this successful. You'll lose it.

You said Dotzon was near dominant his one year at RG. I countered that he struggled in PP which he did. Never said he didn't play well there. Just don't think he was dominant.
Why they moved him and gave up on him is one of those Steeler mysteries. Plenty of them over the years.

As far as Chuks goes I made no argument about what he will do in NE. All I said is that they will probably give him a shot at LT. Be it in camp or preseason. I'm not getting ahead of myself there and certainly I wouldn't make a wager on what becomes of him this year as far as the NFL is concerned.

Dotson was very good his lone year at RG for the Steelers. The fact that they found it necessary to pay James Daniels big money to replace him was a brainless, imbecilic move to make and I said at the time it was stupid. That Dotson would develop into a good one.

Well....Dotson looks to be developing into a great one. Imagine him now in a run heavy Arthur Smith offense.

I can only remember 2 Steelers recently leaving in free agency that I openly said would come back to haunt them. Mike Hilton (I got surprising pushback on that too. Couldn't believe it) and Dotson, because moving him was stupid.

Frankly, I think the biggest issue with Chuks is effort. Doesn't look like football means a whole lot to him. Dude probably could develop, but he won't.

[Jobu]

I think it had as much to do with him being lazy, unmotivated, and a penalty machine as anything else.
The Rams might end up regretting that contract.

[jewelsongs]

I would imagine that Chuks is smart enough not to go to the Cheatriots and say their coaching sucks, that it was much better in Pittsburgh.

[Steelafan77]

What is a mystery to me is why do they insist on playing linemen out of their natural position?

The position they predominately played in college; they became efficient and productive at….

I am one that if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Leave it the hell alone.

I fully agree with the consensus regarding Green, Cole and Moore. All played out of position.

4th rnd’er McCormick played LG his entire career with some back up center.

I expect Steelers staff will play him at RG something he’s not that proficient or familiar with playing.

Could he develop there and play well? Shouldn’t fuck with it and play him at his “natural” position.

Seumalo is not the greatest at LG. I thought he played much better as a RG in Philly.

The Square Peg Round Hole is infuriating to me.

These rock heads don't even move them back to their natural position after they don't perform well in the new one. They just shit can them and they go on to play better elsewhere where everybody but the Steelers know the position they should be in. Just another Tomlin led strategy that blows.

Dotson moves people easily. That's why he dominated in the run game.

He got a lot better in pass protection last year and frankly I'd say 90% of that was due to coaching. Obviously putting Dotson back where he's comfortable helped plenty, but Dotson was confident and as that article stated, Dotson looked unleashed. Ready to put people on their asses.

If someone took you out of a job you were doing well and you were comfortable and they moved you to a much shittier position within your company,you just might get lazy aynd pissed off too.

I'm sure that's what happened with Dotson in Pittsburgh. I think the Rams might know what they're doing locking this dude up for awhile.

Totally bizarre. Dotson is the best example of this. He was great at RG, didn't do so well at LG, so instead of moving him back to RG they trade him for peanuts and watch him go excel with the Rams. A combination of idiocy and arrogance on the part of the coaching staff. I'm starting to hope that 2024 is a disaster so the front office cleans house, starting with Tomlin.

I remember a pretty hilarious interview with Dotson after he was moved to LG after showing a lot of promise on the right side.

Dotson admitted he was struggling mightily and talked about how playing on the left side after moving from his natural right side was like trying to do everything in a mirror. Basically every way he needed to move was the opposite from what he did naturally. That's when I knew Dotson was fucked as a Steeler. Could Dotson have learned how to play on the left side in time? With hard work, probably but it would have taken years. Also, left guards are normally more athletic and mobile. Have better movement skills for pass pro and for pulling. RG's are road graders...you know, like Kevin Dotson.

Only the fucking Steelers could fuck this situation up so epically.

Dotson also probably made reasonable and rational arguments to the coaches pointing out why moving him to LG didn't make sense. We know failure to kiss Tomlin's ass and stroke his ego results in a one-way ticket out of Pittsburgh.

Let's hope Tomlin and Co. have learned their lesson from Dotson and will stop their recent trend of playing O-linemen out of position. But knowing how stubborn they are, they probably haven't- prepare to see Broderick Jones at C and Zach Frazier at LT in 2024...

Don't know why, but Cool Shades LOVES to ease rookies in, despite them being obvious upgrades to the guys ahead of them on the depth chart, it isn't funny.

I honestly think that is by design. I have mentioned this in other posts over the last few years. But IMO they keep the rookies off the field for the first 6-10 weeks in order to limit the rookie wall or avoid it. National champs play in 13 or 14 games? It used to be less but that year from playing in college (plus postseason maybe), to combine prep, to draft prep, to rookie camps, to OTAs, to training camp, to preseason, to regular season becomes a long year for a body. It is probably a rather unhealthy year physically.

[Dan Smith--BYU]

Tomlin needs to study film in the off season and stop playing Jenga with his grils while eating Wingstop in the No flex...zone.

[Rod & Wire Mill]

Re Dotson,etc.: Did we not have 3 O-line coaches in two years?
Now that’s a well run organization.
The offense has been a clown show for years.

[bradshaw2ben]

Yup... Ever since Haley left.

Did you know you can be booted from here for trolling. One form of trolling is to say the say insip crap, just to stir the pot... over and over again.

You have NO leash here, FYI. Zero leeway. No runway.
