  "account": "After just two preseason games, concerns remain for the Pittsburgh Steelers leading up to the start of the regular season. The offensive line is a major issue, as the starters on the right side are seventh-round pick and undrafted free agent. Backup Spencer Anderson and Dylan Cook have struggled, while Broderick Jones and rookie Max Iheanacho are not yet ready to play. Another significant concern is the rusty state of the starters. The team will be experiencing live action for the first time in Aaron Rodgers, DK Metcalf, and Michael Pittman Jr.'s cases, and it remains to be seen if Mike McCarthy's system will be effective once the regular season begins. The team's roster composition may lead to the new system appearing similar to the old one, raising doubts about the impact of the new coach.",
