Steelers’ Broderick Jones Reportedly Was Uninterested Leading Up To Week 2 Showdown With Denver
The Pittsburgh Steelers once again saw key plays wiped out by penalties during their Week 2 matchup against the Denver Broncos. A major point of concern in the game was Broderick Jones, who did not secure a starting role as rookie Troy Fautanu was named the starting right tackle. Dan Moore Jr. was assigned to left tackle, leaving Jones sidelined.
Despite not starting, the coaching staff attempted to integrate Jones into the game. In a surprising move, they pulled Fautanu before the third series, allowing Jones to step in at right tackle. However, Jones struggled significantly during his time on the field. He was flagged three times in one drive, including a critical holding penalty that negated a 51-yard pass from Justin Fields to George Pickens, which would have shifted the momentum of the game.
Jones did not return to the field after his series of penalties. Following the game, he expressed his frustration to the media, questioning the logic behind his playing time if he wasn’t starting. Steelers insider Mark Kaboly appeared on 93.7 The Fan on Monday morning to discuss Jones’ remarks and the implications of the situation. Kaboly’s analysis shed light on the unusual coaching decisions and the challenges faced by Jones as he navigates his role with the team.
