If you go back and look at the game against San Francisco, one of the most disappointing areas for the Steelers was up front on the offensive line. Now, one could argue that the entire offensive line belongs in this conversation and has to be a whole lot better going into Week 2.

But, it was offensive tackle Dan Moore and guard Isaac Seumalo who looked the absolute worst. Moore was given an overall grade of 33.7 via Pro Football Focus, which is flat-out embarrassing. His pass blocking, specifically, graded out as a miserable 22.8. Meanwhile, he wasn't a whole lot better in the run game, grading out at 51.6.

Meanwhile, Seumalo was supposed to be one of the Steelers' best offseason additions and help this line improve greatly. Against the 49ers, that wasn't the case. He finished with an overall grade of 40.1, and was especially poor in the run game, with a grade of 38.3.

It is also worth noting that Moore allowed a whopping nine pressures on Kenny Pickett, and Seumalo gave up a pair.
