The difference between a Matt Canada-led offense and an Arthur Smith-led one couldn’t be more night and day. It’s not as if the Pittsburgh Steelers are the NFL’s most potent offense putting up 30 points each week, though they’ve been doing that more frequently lately. Just merely being a disciplined and coherent group with a plan and identity has gone a long way toward making the Steelers’ offense competent with the aim of becoming something even better. RBs coach Eddie Faulkner credited Smith for creating a faster-starting run game and overall better offensive production.
“Arthur Smith’s scheme and what he brings to the table,” Faulkner said Wednesday via the team’s YouTube channel when asked why the Steelers’ running game is off to a faster start.
