When you’re both unwilling and unable to run the football, there is a problem. Many would argue that this has been a problem for the Pittsburgh Steelers for a number of years, but their performance during the 2020 season really drove that point home, in spite of president Art Rooney II’s annual prognostications that they would address the issues holding them back in this area.
With Rooney speaking to reporters earlier today, it was time once again for that annual discussion about the renewal of the running game. Once upon a time, his edicts passed on through the media were seen as marching orders for Kevin Colbert and Mike Tomlin, but when he speaks about the running game, it seems to get lost in the shuffle.
