The Pittsburgh Steelers going from Matt Canada to Arthur Smith might be the starkest coordinator change in the NFL. At least that seems to be how those inside the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex feel about it, via Ray Fittipaldo.
“The vibe I get from players is they believe a pro is now in charge and there is more confidence in his ability to move the ball and score points”, he said of Arthur Smith in a recent chat session for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
“They’re still very young and there are three new QBs so there will be some hiccups, but in terms of game planning and play calling there is much higher confidence among the players in Smith than his predecessor”.
