The Pittsburgh Steelers finally got their guy in Aaron Rodgers. They had to wait until June, but the long anticipated partnership of Mike Tomlin and the four-time MVP quarterback will finally happen.
Early on in his stint with Pittsburgh, Rodgers is already seeing a massive position change on offense.
Breaking: Aaron Rodgers “Okay’s” Massive Position Change On Steelers Offense (Report)
In free agency, the Pittsburgh Steelers lost starting left tackle Dan Moore Jr. to the Tennessee Titans:
Now there will be a bit of shuffling along the offensive line to make up for it.
Last year’s starting right tackle, Broderick Jones, has announced that the team is moving him to the other side to replace Moore.
“I think it went as good as it could go,” Jones said, via Steelers Now. “You know, with everything going on — with me moving back to [LT] from [RT]. I still got a couple more weeks to hone in on my skills and continue to develop on the left side — and come in ready for [training camp].
“If I’m being honest, I think I probably do need a couple more weeks. Not saying I’d be bad, but just for me. Just to feel like I’m in the mindset to play an actual game — versus somebody else other than going against Alex Highsmith or Nick [Herbig].”
Jones is a former No. 14 overall pick by the Steelers in the 2023 NFL Draft.
The former Georgia Bulldog became the starting right tackle in Week 9 of that same season. Pro Football Focus says Jones allowed 30 pressures and five sacks that season.
Last year, PFF noted Jones gave up 45 pressures and 11 sacks after taking over for Troy Fautanu after a season-ending knee injury.
Jones admitted that he’s had to make an adjustment in his head now that he’s changing sides.
“It’s just flipping the plays in my head. Because some of our plays, they’re flip-flopped backwards,” Jones said, via PennLive’s Nick Farabaugh. “So you hear them and they might be going one way, but it may be called the other way. So just staying locked in with the plays and just making sure you know them. And you know the plays, you can play at 110%.”
The offensive line is the most important piece to Rodgers’ game. If there are changes, he is certainly going to be made aware and likely asked his opinion. Being in the NFL for over 20 years gives you that type of experience.
It will be interesting to see how Pittsburgh can perform this year with another veteran quarterback under center.
