James Daniels Says Steelers’ Run Game Isn’t Much Different Under Arthur Smith: ‘Wide Zone Is Still Wide Zone’

Pittsburgh Steelers fans anticipating a radical revolution in the team’s run game need not fret, as not much is changing. At least, RG James Daniels views it that way from a schematic and execution perspective.

“There’s slight differences, but I mean, at the end of the day, we ran wide zone”, Daniels said Tuesday of the Steelers’ run game last year, via the team’s website, when asked about changes under new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. “Wide zone is still wide zone. I feel like it’s still the same, but we just have to keep on getting better and doing our technique in the games and practicing better”.
