The mess that was the Steelers offensive line to start the season suddenly looks as if it has a good foothold on the future. Now, however, they will have to make a tough decision at tackle after the season.

Willie Colon, who signed a five-year, $29 million contract this year, will return from the triceps injury that knocked him out for the season in the opening game in Baltimore. Then what do they do?

One solution: Return Colon to his job as the starting right tackle and move Marcus Gilbert to left tackle, the spot which they had in mind for him when they drafted him on the second round this year. Left tackle Max Starks becomes a free agent and he's liable to get some decent offers elsewhere.

Or should the Steelers try to keep Starks and let the three compete for two jobs? Colon always can play guard but suddenly the Steelers are more than happy with their two starting guards, Doug Legursky on the left and Ramon Foster on the right. Chris Kemoeatu, their highest-paid active lineman (5 years, $20 million) who lost his four-year starting job at left guard to Legursky last week, would now appear to have an uncertain future here.

It's a better dilemma than the one they faced early this season, especially after Colon's injury.
