10 Minute Takes: Steelers O-Line Competition

Mike Tomlin sent out a wormhole when he opened the offensive line competition.

10 Minute Takes - part of the Three Rivers Podcast collection - brings you today's news and analysis in, you guessed it, ten minutes. Go inside today's biggest Pittsburgh Steelers news and breakdowns with host, Noah Strackbein. New episodes weekly.

Steelers' O-Line Competition

Matt Feiler moving to left guard does more than replace Ramon Foster. The offensive lineman is taking a major risk for his financial future by putting the team above himself, and returning to the role the Steelers signed him as in 2015.

It also opens the door for the future. Zach Banner and Chuks Okorafor battling it out for right tackle shows how ready they are to take the next step in their career. 

If they prove worthy, it's the start of a new generation of offensive linemen in Pittsburgh. And if I had to guess, this is who I'd predict wins the job.
