Glad we have this young buck !!!

OL very well could be the single biggest factor in this season. Health is a big concern but honestly the season may swing on Steele at RT and Smith at LG. They both need to play well.

That's Holding. Back it up 10 yards.

You keep your hands on inside of the pads as he did and you will not get the call on holding.

Let's hope he plays like that a whole season, then year after year.

The one thing we should be excited about with Steele is that it was easy to see that he worked hard to improve last offseason. It showed on the field. If he maintains that attitude and effort, it could mean better things for the line than what we got from Collins.

If Steele improves even more and Tyler Smith is what we all want him to be, and the big IF, that Tyron stays healthy. The OL will be in very good shape.
With only C being a concern. Maybe the light goes on for Biadasz this season. As he really has not had a lot of playing time if you look at it.

Another step forward and he’ll be a solid to good starter.

1: Steele had some good games in 2020, but due to the team's struggles nobody believed it.
2: Steele was better overall at RT in 2021 than La'el.
- La'el has more natural physical talent, but La'el is a dumb player.
- La'el was very close to Connor Williams in penalties per snap played.
- Side Note: Gregory had more penalties per snap than anybody on the team in 2021.
3: Steele is a natural RT.
- He played multiple games at LT in 2021; however, he is a much better player at RT.

It seems that they might have kept Steele as the starter at RT if not for Tyron's injury issues and a stint on the Covid list for Steele.
- Steele started 2 games over La'el prior to Steele's week on the Covid list.
- They eventually gave La'el the start over Steele starting with game 13.
- However, I think they wanted Steele focused on LT at that point because Tyron was 'week to week'.
- Tyron struggled to move in the playoff game.
- They probably should have started Steele at LT, but All Pros get the start if they say they're ok.

he's gotten better each year.
love what this kid's made of.
he's gonna be a good'n.

I'm Still not convinced. I saw more negative than positive.

I think we’ll be fine at RT. Steele is good enough and will likely get better.

I’m more worried about what is going to happen if Tyron gets hurt and the rookie has to hold down the fort.
