Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens is no stranger to go routes, but he sees more sophistication in Arthur Smith’s scheme. The new Steelers offensive coordinator plans to make the deep ball a staple of the offense.
His predecessor, Matt Canada, also liked to feature the deep ball, but Pickens sees the difference between the two. He spoke on that subject with reporters on Wednesday, after the Steelers’ final open practice, via the team’s website.
“The scheme of it is great. I’d probably say a lot of the schemed deep balls”, Pickens said of Smith’s plan for deep balls.
