There’s a lot of things an offensive coordinator wants to be compared to. A high-octane race car zooming around the track. A chess master always one step ahead. For Arthur Smith, he’s a sloth. In the 1940s. That’s the view of Scott Barrett, who reviewed Smith’s offense and the impact his presence will be on the Pittsburgh Steelers.

While his article has a fantasy football slant, it offered some choice words for Smith’s style of play that will be felt each week.

“I think we know what the Arthur Smith offense is — a sloth-paced World War II-era level of run-heavy offense,” Barrett wrote.
