The offense is "obviously" clicking on all cylinders. At the risk of being greedy,the primary missing ingredient is a mismatch TE. Is there any possibility that Alejandro Villanueva is being looked at as a possible mismatch TE?? I know he is listed as an OT and the team may be hell bent on developing him as a LT. BUT, he has played both TE and WR while at Army. If the kid can run, jump, and catch... why not see if he can develop as a Gronk/Jimmie Graham type player??

His training as an OT can only help develop his blocking skills which is a must-have for Steelers TE. obviously.

I've seen his film. He's not athletic enough to be a mismatch TE. He looks like a giant Heath Miller, minus the awesome hands.

I would describe his running as "lumbering".

In that case, I hope he can develop into another Jason Peters at LT.
