Fittipaldo: Arthur Smith ‘Undervalued From A Play-Design Standpoint’

When Ben Roethlisberger was the quarterback, it felt like the Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t really need a super-talented offensive coordinator. Coaches like Todd Haley and Bruce Arians still deserve a lot of credit for putting players in the position to succeed, but it felt like Roethlisberger always had the ability to create something out of nothing if he had to. Since his retirement, it’s felt more like the Steelers have been producing nothing when they should have something on offense. Much of the blame for that can be attributed to some atrocious play calling and designs, but one Steelers insider believes that should all change with Arthur Smith in charge this year.
