Former NFL DL Thinks QB-OC Relationship Can Improve If Steelers Run It Back With Russell Wilson

When it comes to a quarterback-offensive coordinator relationship, things don’t always click right away. While it got off to a great start in 2024 with Russell Wilson and Arthur Smith, the offense regressed down the stretch. That led to questions about their chemistry and reported disagreements behind closed doors.

Conventional logic might say that running it back with Wilson and Smith at this point is a bad idea given the reported tension between the two, but one former NFL player thinks things could improve in a second year.

“For Russ, it’s going to be hard to find more stability than what the Pittsburgh Steelers have to offer,” Chris Canty said via ESPN’s Unsportsmanlike.
