What's happened to the screen pass?

Use to be a main stay in the NFL but you hardly ever see it anymore. Why?

the Steelers are usually a pretty good screen team. even this year with thier poor OL play.

I can not believe how the loss of Faneca has decimated that line. It really exploits Rothlesberger's weaknesses.

The line was pretty crappy in pass protection last year too..........They lost a starting guard early in the year and their left tackle has missed the last 7-8 games. This is on top of Faneca so 3 new starters most of the year, actually 4 because they replaced their center from last year. The line has been their biggest issue since the Super Bowl year.
