Manage episode 437248446 series 3554759
Episode 27 of the Steelers Sanctuary Podcast is out. W estart the pod out with the news of Isaac Seumalo’s pec injury. He could miss up to four weeks with this injury. This makes a bad situation even worse for the Steelers offensive line. Injuries, and inexperience stand to make this a rough ride early on.
Next we jump into the big news of the week. Brandon Aiyuk has re-signed with the San Francisco 49ers. This leaves the Steelers with one of the weaker wide receiver rooms in the league. The team had 5 months to replace Diontae Johnson, and only managed to acquire journeyman like Van Jefferson, and Scotty Miller.
We wrap up the pod debating who is to blame for the lack of significant moves on offense. Omar Khan takes a lion share of the blame. He seems to have painted himself into a corner hoping he could pry Aiyuk away. All the while ignoring other options. Mike Tomlin is also to blame because this is the type of offense he wants. He prefers an offense that emphasizes backs and tight ends rather than wide receivers. We’ll see if that works in the 2024 NFL.
