No huddle?

I have a question for the more knowledgeable guru-types here . . . . after having a lot of success with the no-huddle and Ben "drawing up plays in the dirt," that has completely disappeared the past few weeks. Is there some reason that injuries to Ben (if they exist) or the injuries to the O-line (which definitely exist) would prevent us from being able to run the no-huddle? Or did Ben just lose the power struggle to Fichtner? Or is continuing to do something successful just too out-of-character for the 2020 Steelers?

 

I don't know if it's dissappeared. There are two key facotors. Ben hasn't played well and the Oline hasn't had continuity.

 

Yeah you need to be able to trust the blocking and your receivers. It also puts pressure on the D as you are getting them back on the field much quicker by going no huddle, especially the way they have been playing with all the drops.

It’s not something you can sustain over a full game, and certainly not over multiple games.

 

Does not fix the problem of having WRs down the field completely wide open and not throwing them the ball.

The no huddle does not stretch the field, and right now defenses are putting everyone upfront and in the box stopping the running game and short passing game.
