Default 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.

throw in the loss of Russ Grimm as OL coach. and what's happened to Max Starks? his play has been awful at best.
