You might not always pick the right starter, but your sub can still deliver.

Welcome to the Terrible Take, a mini podcast telling Steelers Nation what's on our mind.

1:06.8

I'm Joe Clark.

1:08.7

Football is back.

1:10.3

The Pittsburgh Steelers are open up the preseasoning against the Jacksonville Jaguars in just a few hours.

1:15.7

While the Steelers will be resting a number of key players and starters, the Jaguars, at least for a little bit, are playing other starters.

1:22.2

For how long still remains a question, but regardless, Saturday represents a key test for both Steelers' offensive tackles.

1:30.0

Roder Jones and Troy Fautano are not among the Steelers who will rest, and for at least one

drive, the team will go up against Jacksonville's talented edge duo in Trayvon Walker and

into the season.

Fautano played just one game as a rookie before suffering a season ending knee injury,

1:52.4

Jones also didn't get off to the best start during training camp and then was out and later limited with a groin injury.

2:37.9

Since getting healthy, he has been getting better, but he needs to hold up in live game action. He struggled immensely in the team's preseason opener last season, and if that happens again, there's going to be a lot of questions about viability as a starter, not only this season, but also long term. The Steelers don't really have many other options, so Jones really needs to show that he can hang. Fautano, too, although he has been more steady during training camp. Even if it is just one draft going up against Jacksonville starters, it's a big test for both of them against two talented athletic edge rushers who know how to get after the quarterback that have been successful in doing so. It's one of the biggest things that I'll be watching tomorrow night, and while bad performance isn't a be all and end all, it really wouldn't be a good sign for Pittsburgh's offensive line success this season.
