Arthur Smith Concepts

Funny that the first clip was against our sh!tastic inside LBs.

 

In response to that post about Derrick Henry only having 2,293 yards his first 3 seasons is kind of false information. Derrick Henry only had this many yards because he was the 2nd back (splitting carries) behind Demarco Murray that was there his first 2 seasons. Henry's 3rd season in 2018 when he was the featured back he had 1059 yards on 215 carries. When Smith took over in 2019 Henry's workload increased to 303 carries for 1540yards and 2020 he had 378 carries for 2027yards. So I do expect Najee and Warrens workload to increase while splitting carries so they don't run one into the ground.

 

Play action! Love it! That will be a welcome addition to the Steelers playbook.

 

With all of the work that we expect from Harris and Warren, a third RB could get some work during the season. Right now the Steelers 3rd back is Godwin Igwebuike, I don't know if he is the answer at #3 or not. A late draft pick could be possible with someone like Frank Gore Jr., he was the MVP in the Shrine Bowl last night and ran for 328 yards in Southern Mississippi's bowl game victory over Rice in 2022.

 

Yes whoever does it

The few times Kenny or Mason did it it worked

Couple it with a good run game and you can mosey down the field nicely

 

so canada had a better run game?

Arthur Smith is very different from Canada but the biggest is communication and player buy in

I could not get it to cut and paste

 

But they wanted continuity with Pickett

And unfortunately they got it

 

i'd like to see some more darrnell washington usage in smiths play action offense as well. we got the horses. we need the driver now. looks like we have him.

 

5 4 3 2 1

I see an Anthony McFarland post coming any moment

 

I have read what Rooney wants. He wants a return to the running offense. I guess that's ok but if a team stacks up to stop the run then you aren't going to have much success. I am looking for some kind of balance. with the rules defenders have to put up with in the passing game it makes that part of the offense more desirable.

Smith interview with Missi Matthews

 

Actually Washington was open quite a lot last year....Hell I even wrote that maybe KFP didn't like him....now I wonder if He just didn't see Him. Number one thing is.....will KFP processing speed pick up. Because while all Qbs miss open targets....KFP was getting out of hand on how many He didn't see.

 

Was Arthur Smith their guy when that piece of shti M. Vick was in ATL.?? That frigging game where Vick kept making 3rd and 4th long to end up tying us still haunts me.

 

No, Smith was HC in Atlanta starting in 2021.
