It turns out Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line coach Pat Meyer isn’t such a technique tyrant after all. At least that was the general perception going into last season given all the talk of the linemen having to adjust to what their new position coach was instructing them to do.
While there may have been a transitional period, however, to hear his own charges talk, Meyer is actually rather flexible on this issue. Rather than drill everybody to do the same exact thing, he gives each lineman the opportunity to find what works best for them.
“Individually, he hounds us on technique, but, at the same time, he lets us play and see how it works”, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette quotes C Mason Cole as saying recently.
