Social media ripped Pittsburgh Steelers right tackle Broderick Jones for his poor performance in Week 2 of the NFL preseason.
August 17 was another banner night for the Pittsburgh Steelers offense. In Week 2 of the preseason against the Buffalo Bills, the Steelers managed just 219 yards in a 9-3 loss. Of their 10 drives, they had fewer than 10 total yards on six of them.
The quarterback play from Russell Wilson and Justin Fields will draw a lot of the criticism for the poor offensive output. But the signal callers didn’t get a lot of help from other players such as right tackle Broderick Jones.
The team’s 2023 first-round pick, Jones was unable to block Bills defensive end Greg Rousseau for most of the night. Steelers media and fans ripped into Jones on social media for his performance.
“Broderick Jones getting bulled here,” the Blitzburgh X (formerly Twitter) account wrote.
Blitzburgh wrote that as a caption to a play where Rousseau shoved Jones out of the way on his way to sacking Fields.
Other X users also highlighted that low point of the game for Jones.
“EZ look of first sack allowed by Broderick Jones versus Greg Rousseau, who just grabs that right wrist and has right hand inside,” wrote Steelers Depot.
“Are we sure Broderick Jones is an NFL tackle? Greg Rousseau is BULLYING HIM,” wrote Josh Yourish.
“Either Gregory Rosseau is first-team All-Pro or Broderick Jones is worst-team All-Pro,” wrote Nick Ercolano.
