We can fuss over the young quarterbacks.

We can wonder who's RB1 or who's WR3, or now that Darnell Washington signed his big extension. If he's actually TE1 over Pat Friermouth,

I am here to attest for only about the billionth time that the success or failure of this offense will be determined elsewhere.

Good morning to you. Good Friday morning. I'm Dan Kovachovich of D.K be determined elsewhere. Good morning to you.

Good Friday morning.

This is Daily Shot of Steelers presented by the Fandual Sportsbook.

It comes your way bright and early every weekday.

If you're into hockey and or baseball,

I also offer daily shots of penguins and pirates in the same place

that you found this. It's all about the offensive line. Once you have your skill positions,

at least reasonably set, meaning you've got a pretty good grip on who's starting.

Like, for example, Jeremy Bernard is going to start, I think, over Roman Wilson, or if they're

going to be co-starters, the way I believe you're going to see the team align Rico Dowdle, Jalen

Warren, and for that matter, the two tight ends.

What's left in the wake of all of that is that you still have to block.

You still have to create the space for people to run.

You have to create the time for Aaron Rogers to throw and for people to run their routes.

Otherwise, all the rest of this, including I might add, any potential genius that comes from

the new coaching staff, goes poof like it doesn't exist. And I got to tell you, maybe the biggest

part of what's had me worried about the line, whether I'm right or wrong, is that I would have been okay with the continuation of what we saw last season.

Now, you can throw the Houston game in my face.
