Steelers' Starting Troy Fautanu, Benching Broderick Jones, Right Move? | Justin Fields Finds Balance

Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers

Christopher Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast, and is joined by Mike DeFabo of the Athletic.

The Pittsburgh Steelers appear to be starting Troy Fautanu and Dan Moore at tackle while benching Broderick Jones. But is that the right move? Christopher Carter and Mike DeFabo discuss whether Mike Tomlin's plan will stunt the growth and development of Jones, or if this plan will benefit Jones and help him recover from his elbow injury?

Also, Chris and Mike discuss Justin Fields' passing after two games and how Tomlin talked about his efficiency when throwing downfield. Fields has the fewest passes when targeting beyond the sticks of quarterbacks who've started two games, but he has the third-highest completion percentage. What's been behind that?

And can Fields take another step forward? Finally, Chris and Mike discuss the Steelers' upcoming matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers Sunday, and how both team's styles match as teams that want to run the ball and play tough defense. Can the Steelers find an advantage?
