Film Study: HE’S WHAT THEY NEED: What Troy Fautanu will bring to Pittsburgh Steelers 

A Samoan named Troy. I like where this is going.

Look at his base look how he bends this dude got very good technique you can’t teach that he’s a tackle

My man said “Fought-en-new” 😂 It’s fah-ooo-tah-nu #HereWeGo

We just got a potential duo of elite play at LT and RT for the next decade.

The perfect Steeler

Help at any position...injuries happen...worth the pick...loving the Black and Gold since the 1-13 in 1969

Excellent pick! The dude is an excellent athlete and he will play OT.

They won't play him until Dan Moore is horrific for at least half the season at RT. Good rookies sit (Broderick Jones, JPJ, Benton) & terrible rookies (Pickett, Kendrick Green, Dan Moore) start day 1 or way too early.

Steelers are loading up

They say he is a road grader...so I'm surprised to hear/see the struggles in the run game

His independent hands in that first play were so beautiful

Annunciation is important

Let’s Goooooooo!!!!!

Not concerned about his run blocking struggles early on. You stack his side with a TE and it’ll help mask any issues he might have to start.

Great feet and lateral movement!!!

We may not know his position until tomorrow. Steelers might want to see if another center falls to 51.

Tomlin and Khan say he is a tackle

He played LT for a left handed QB so he was the run blocking OT mostly and in the NFL he will play RT, when people bring up his height they do so without mentioning his wingspan was 3rd longest among OT in the draft. He is also aggressive which isn't something that is easily taught. Steelers got them a GUY

Don't forget Penix was a Lefty so with a Right hand QB he fits on the right side

Is there a "possibility" run blocking technique can be coached up? No it can be lol

Idk why they say he needs to kick inside. He’s got great arm length and is a nasty dude. He’s a Steeler through and through. Coach said they see him as a tackle so I’m guessing Broderick stays on the right side which I’m kind of iffy on but Broderick was much more of a projection because of his limited starting experience and athleticism. Now let’s get a center WR and CB today

He is a right tackle penix is left handed the line is flipped

“Good” he only gave up two sacks and 2 pressures, his pass pro is GREAT. Only complaint otherwise great video on pluses/minuses

Pittsburgh cant be moving people too different position's anymore! Look at Chuk's!!

its pronounced fah-ooo-tah-nu

He’ll play guard?? I don’t think so

Hmmm. We just hired a "Run-heavy" OC. We desperately need to fix the LT spot (we drafted Brod. Jones to do so, but somehow he got moved to RT???). So this year we draft a LT, to presumably be a guard? or maybe stay at LT and be a lousy run-blocker? Meanwhile our top LT is stuck playing RT? I'm confused AF. We don't need a guard. And we have a great run-blocking LT...but he's stuck over at RT. Now, maybe we run right ALL-THE-TIME and this works out (I'm open to that) but I can't help but wonder if moving Broderick back to LT and drafting Tyler Guyton for RT wouldn't have been a better idea.

No more dan moore lets goooooooooo

Wack pre judgment
