Welcome to the terrible take a mini podcast telling Steelers Nation what's on our minds.

I'm Joe Clark.

The smartest thing the Pittsburgh Steelers have done this season is insert Broder Jones into the

starting lineup. Whether or not it was truly because Chigumur Correfort said

something that annoyed Tomlin doesn't matter. What matters is that they need

the decision to start Jones and it's paid off in a really big way.

We thought the identity of the Steelers team all season was going to be a team that could run the ball

and beat teams with Jim and Warren and Nausey Harris.

For most of the first half of the season, that wasn't happening.

But the run game finally found success in week down against Tennessee, the first game with Jones

starting, and that success is carried carried over with a team running for

over 150 plus yards now in four straight games. Jones's athleticism allows him to

climb to the second level on blocks and he's just a really talented and powerful run blocker.

He's been a catalyst to getting the run game off the ground in Pittsburgh and now it's

a part of their offense. It's a legitimate weapon. Jones and Harris have both

have their moments and they've both been impressive over the last few games.

If Kenny Picket can play the way he did against Cincinnati

and the run game continues to play the way they have over the past few weeks.

This is an offense that could end up looking okay and was a really rough start to the season.

Jones has shown why he was a first-ground pick and even had a position that's unnatural to him.

He's proven to be a really key piece of the Steelers offense line.

Hopefully that keeps up and the running game and offense continues to improve.
