Chucks was really good this year, our cap situation is fine, and it creates a need by cutting him. The negatives far out weigh the positives. I think in pass pro Chuks (spelled it wrong above my bad) is legit pro bowl , he deserves recognition for this on here at least. That clip that mentioned him being cut, is also a proponent of signing Lewan . Lewan on a prove it 1 year deal might be ok for a decent price, but Moore better still be starting at LG then. I'm a fan of Moore, and if this group can improve on their own that would be good with me. The issue is dotson at LG, maybe Darnell Wright could go there unless of course Skoronski falls to 17. Chuks should be here for the next 5+ years IMO, and his deal goes through 24. We should be set at RT and RG for a long time Chuks Okorafor STEELERS Chuks Okorafor EMBED THIS STEELERS, TAge:25-184dExp:5 Years Drafted:Round 3 (#92 overall), 2018College:Western MichiganAgent(s):Jimmy Sexton, Patrick Collins, Ben Renzin (CAA Sports) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

43M Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 While we could upgrade Moore, I think more Steeler fans need to understand that even an average LT like Moore is nice to have. Is obviously love to have a franchise LT like Joe Thomas, but I wouldn't be trying to hard to replace Moore. If we were in position to get a blue chip LT...absolutely....but as it stands, Id rather upgrade LG this year and then see where we stand in 2024 as far as the rest of the OL. Given how they progressed in 22, I don't want much changeover on the OL going into 23. Every level of our defense needs more attention than our offensive line IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early on, James Daniels looked as useless as Kendrick Green, and that really frustrated me. After the bye week, something seemed to click and they were improving every week. Sure, its not perfect, but based on where it was at the end of the season, it's already better than any OL Joe Burrow has had, and I feel like it could get better. Yes, our current OL has a low ceiling because there aren't any major talents on the line, which Id like to change, but I also dont want us to force an OT pick or signing that isnt going to move the needle much. Like I said, I think a guy like Skronski or even Torrence at LG could make a major difference in 2023, and give us another year to see where the other players are at. I still feel like Dan Moore can get better, and even though he will never be elite, he could at least become a solid long term starter ala Villanueva and Ramon Foster. And if we ever find ourselves staring at a franchise LT....great, get them and perhaps move Moore to LG or RT. But dont try to force Moore out of LT as if he is our biggest issue. He isnt even a top 5 issue right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word is the Weidl wants to build up the trenches, so thats good from where I am at. Signing Lewan and cutting Chuks though, comical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOSteelers56 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 We do need o-line depth in a bad way. We got extremely lucky to not have any of our starters miss games. Our guys behind the starters are TRASH. We were one play away from starting Green or Jesse Davis. I'm ok with Hass as the backup C, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not experience a miracle but at least make him serviceable. He didn't suck that bad in college so maybe we can get him right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, all 5 starters were joining him in getting blasted at the same time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him not being active for a single game this year sort of proves that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserves a chance, but he shouldn't be guaranteed a roster spot. Nothing Ive seen from him has ever encouraged me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes to show how special of a player Kelce really is. He’s been really fun to watch in the playoffs this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
