5 scapegoats if things go wrong for the Steelers in 2022

The offensive line will be put under a microscope with recent acquisitions

The offensive line was a focal point for many of the issues with the offense last year. That scapegoating was fair as the trenches in front of Najee Harris and Ben Roethlisberger seemed to have been thrown together and struggle to congeal. Now a retooled group looks to hopefully change those fortunes in 2022.

There were a lot of moves done this past offseason to hopefully right the ship on this front. Chuks Okorafor was brought back as well as some outside signings as well. Mason Cole and James Daniels were both signed on to start for this team.

Right now, this group is still working itself out when it comes to the depth chart. There are early favorites to win the starting jobs, but it is not finalized, and neither are the last couple of spots to make the final roster. It is going to be a battle and something the Steelers hope will fix this unit.

Things cannot get much worse for the offensive line when compared to last year. They were one of the worst units in the NFL and had little improvement to show for themselves. They will be a major scapegoat if Harris struggles to get yardage or if these quarterbacks fail to get any time in the pocket.
