One should almost never overreact to the NFL’s preseason.
Those who’ve been around long enough know not to make a big fuss out of anything, both good and bad, more often than not.
However, there are a few things that could definitely be very telling about a team’s status ahead of the start of the season.
That’s why several fans and analysts have expressed some serious concerns and doubts about the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Notably, that includes Steve Fezzik.
In the latest edition of the Ross Tucker Podcast, he argued that there was nothing to like about Mike Tomlin’s team, pointing out that both quarterbacks have been bad, they have injuries at running back, and they just haven’t looked good at all.

Truth be told, it’s hard to argue with any of those statements.
The fact that Mike Tomlin still hasn’t chosen a starting quarterback speaks volumes of how far behind both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are.
More than that, the offensive line has been atrocious during the first two preseason contests, and it might take a while before their young players get their legs under them and live up to their potential.
We already know how good of a defensive team they can and will be, with Tomlin calling the shots.
Still, this team needs to move the chains to be competitive, and with the offensive line not giving any of their struggling quarterbacks a chance to do their job, this could be a very, very long season in Pittsburgh.
