Agreed. And we need a quality backup center now. Herbig was constantly pushed backward. He’s not a center.

He is tough . The kid broke his leg and was more concerned with getting off the field and saving his team a timeout than the injury. Born to be a Steeler.

Great breakdown as always Alex. First watch I was focusing on him and Fuatanu and I was highly impressed with Frazier and surprisingly not as much with Fuatanu. Frazier looked really good on almost every rep, and no issues with the snaps like when herbig was in there. I guess that might be the difference between a true center and a guard turned center. 🤷🏻♂️. I know it's early, but Frazier really impressed me with what I saw.

I think it’s obvious he’s a better RT than a LT. He’s got a ton of power and good straight line speed for a big guy but he doesn’t have the quick feet that a great blind side blocker needs and his technique with his hands looks weak to me but I’m no expert. Obviously he’s gonna want to play LT because there’s way more money as the blind side blocker but I’m hoping he stays right and fautanu can take over at left.

I saw very few OL traps & and very little OL pulling on Friday. And the few gap/trap/pull run plays Pgh DID run vs. Houston were BY FAR the best run play results of the day, imo. AFC North defenses are going to suffocate Smith's "power zone" run blocking concept. AFC North defenses are too fast & too good for such predictable/simple/straight-up zone run blocking schemes... mark my words. Pgh's running attack became dangerous+productive last season (for the first time in YEARS) when Jones entered the lineup & his athleticism enabled OL gap blocking - traps & pulls. I really, really like Smith's screens, play-action, receiver routes & play-calling... but I absolutely HATE his default zone run-blocking concept. That stuff might work in the AFC South, but straight-up zone run-blocking will get BURIED vs. Baltimore, Cleveland & Cincy.

@@Alex_Kozora half?!? there were two pulls & zero traps in the entire first half. anderson made a meal of one, and frazier looked great on the other.
