The Pittsburgh Steelers’ plan on offense has been very clear this offseason. They want to be the most physical group in the league and they want to expand on their rushing success from 2023. They finished 13th in the NFL last season with 2,010 rushing yards, but 1,452 of those came from Week 9 and on. That was the game against the Titans in which Broderick Jones was inserted as the full-time starter at right tackle. Their performance over the back half of the schedule was much better than the 13th-best rushing team.
Now they have brought in offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, who is known for high-volume rushing attacks, and they drafted two presumed Week 1 starters along the offensive line in Troy Fautanu and Zach Frazier.
