Through the first six games of the 2021 regular season, we have seen the Pittsburgh Steelers make some minor strides and especially in their running game. Some of that run game improvement has come as a byproduct of the offense focusing more on RPOs, run-pass option plays, which incorporate short and quick passes as run game alternatives in addition to regular designed running plays by rookie running back Najee Harris. While that running game improvement has been nice to see, the offense still isn’t producing nearly enough splash or explosive plays.
On Wednesday, Steelers wide receivers coach Ike Hilliard highlighted the fact that the offense needs to find a way to produce more of those explosive type plays moving forward past the team’s bye week.
