Are Young Tackles Making the Grade? | Steelers Morning Rush

Welcome to Steelers Morning Rush, our new daily short-form podcast with Alan Saunders, giving a longer perspective on a single news topic surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers or the National Football League. Today, it's the team's young offensive tackles and how they're performing. Troy Fautanu and Broderick Jones have now played six games together as the team's starting right and left tackles after being first-round picks in consecutive drafts in 2023 and 2024. But the team already has an upcoming decision to make about the future of Jones, who will have his fifth-year option either picked up or declined next offseason. Have they been making the grade so far, how much has the team's heavy package with Darnell Washington and Spencer Anderson helped, and can they succeed without it, especially against a tough task like Micah Parsons, Rashan Gary and the Green Bay Packers? Alan breaks it down. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
