It is no secret that through the first two weeks, including their first-half performance in Week 4, the Pittsburgh Steelers offense looked lethargic. Key pieces of the offensive line struggled with run blocking, were undisciplined with penalties and at times even appeared to give up on plays.
What they seem to be missing is a true leader on the offensive line — and that leader is Isaac Seumalo.
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin is hopeful that Seumalo will make his comeback against the 2-2 Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night in Week 5.
Seumalo’s expertise lies in consistency and discipline. He has been playing at a high level for the past couple of seasons, and he has a wealth of postseason experience, having played in two Super Bowls with the Philadelphia Eagles.
With the Steelers’ offensive line losing three starters to season-ending injuries, they need Seumalo’s leadership and presence to help mold the identity of the offense.
Mike Tomlin said he is "excited" about the possibility of getting G Isaac Seumalo back for the Cowboys. "We got a real shot to have him back."
