Steelers ranked 19th in ESPN's starting roster evaluation

ESPN has ranked the Pittsburgh Steelers 19th among all NFL teams concerning projected starting lineups. The offensive lineup received little attention in the analysis, indicating a need for improvement as the defense is expected to bear the team's burden under new head coach Mike McCarthy. Especially concerning is the clarification on the starting offensive line, which has Mason McCormick at left guard and Dylan Cook on the right, as opposed to some expectations surrounding rookie Max Iheanachor. The team's approach to inside linebacker roles is also being minimized, with indications only one may be used during most sets. The team's ability to gel amidst these adjustments is yet to be seen as the season unfolds.
