Welcome to the terrible take, a daily segment telling Steelers Nation what's on our mind.

I'm Alex Kizora.

Steelers' first round pick, offensive tackle Broderick Jones has made his long-awaited NFL debut.

And Pittsburgh worked him heavily in their Friday preseason opener,

logging 49 snaps.

No other stealer on offense had more than 37. While it was not a perfect performance,

Jones admitting as such, it was a strong day overall. In review of the All-22 tape,

although he was flagged late for holding, he did not seem to wear down at the end.

Jones was smooth in his past sets, defending speed rushes well, and aptly picked up stunts without much of an issue.

Jones is a solid athlete with good feet.

He just has to work on his punch and improve his hand placement to avoid getting out leveraged

and walk back on power rushes.

Dan Morris been working through a similar issue,

though he isn't the athlete to defend the edge

the way that Jones is.

Sure, Tampa Bay played plenty of their backups and it's just one game but I'm pleased with where

Jones is at so early into his career.

Dan More remains the starting left tackle will see if that changes but the Steelers first

round pick is in a good place right now. Be sure to follow us at Steelers
