The Pittsburgh Steelers are running early. They’re running often. Offensive coordinator Arthur Smith thinks they just need to be better. Though not for a lack of trying, Smith believes the run game needs to get off to faster starts going forward instead of warming up and finding its groove later in the game.
Per the PPG’s Brian Batko, that was the point Smith made Thursday during his weekly media session with reporters.
“Steelers OC Arthur Smith says the run game has to be better early in games than it was Sunday against the Chargers in Week 3,” Batko tweeted of Smith’s commentary.
