The Pittsburgh Steelers return every member of the offensive line that started, and won, Super Bowl XLIII. Normally, returning a unit that was successful at that feat, would be considered a great start.
Not in Pittsburgh.
There is no question that the line needs to improve dramatically this season, especially if dreams of a seventh Super Bowl are to be met.
But, even though every starter is returning this year, there is a big difference between this years unit, and last.
In the week one match up against the Houston Texans last season, our starting line looked like this;
LT - Marvell Smith, Round Two - 2000
LG - Chris Kemoteau, Round Six - 2005
C - Justin Hartwig, Free Agent.
RG - Kendall Simmons, Round One - 2002
RT - Willie Colon, Round Four - 2006
In the set, you have two early first round picks, a free agent from another team, and two project players that have been brought along.
In addition, Chris Kemoteau replaced former All-Pro Alan Faneca, who signed with the New York Jets last offseason.
