Pittsburgh's line was a problem just 2-3 seasons ago, but the Steelers have made it a priority to improve this unit. That effort was reflected in a rise to 11th in PFF's run blocking grade, and the run is clearly going to be the identity of this offense in 2024.

Left guard Isaac Seumalo was Pittsburgh's highest-graded blocker in his first year with the team. Both Pittsburgh guards ranked top-six in yards before contact per rush on attempts to their direction in 2023, which is notable considering the Steelers ranked only 24th as a team on rushes to any direction. Pittsburgh has invested a Round 1 pick into the tackle spot in each of the past two seasons, so the guards may have some quality help soon if these youngsters are ready to contribute.

The Steelers averaged 1.57 yards before contact on inside zone attempts, up from 1.17 on all other attempts. That's not a surprise, given the strong guard play. And it's a strength that we may see this team lean into with Arthur Smith at OC in 2024.

After digging into Smith's specific zone running splits a bit more, I found a glimmer of hope for Warren!
