Following four seasons in Chicago featuring a number of changes from an offensive coordinator’s standpoint each season, new Pittsburgh Steelers’ right guard James Daniels is stepping into a relatively stable situation compared to what he’s experienced to date in his career.
Ahead of his second day of Phase 3 of OTAs with the Steelers at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side Wednesday, Daniels sat down with hosts Wes Uhler and Arthur Moats on the Steelers Blitz show on Steelers Nation Radio and discussed his transition to the Steelers and offensive coordinator Matt Canada’s scheme.
While there’s no pads on and no real hitting happening within the OTAs at this time, Daniels stated to Uhler and Moats that he’s more focused on his overall technique of hand placement and footwork overall within the scheme, rather than the physicality or feeling completely confident in his role within the scheme.
