For a new quarterback, a new coordinator, and a lot of moving parts on a young Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense, QB Justin Fields hasn’t been handed the keys. He might be behind the wheel, but Arthur Smith is riding shotgun, the offense slowly opening up week-over-week. In his weekly Thursday media scrum, Fields explained what he can – and can’t – do.
“It just depends on the play call,” he said via a team-provided transcript. “Yeah, but if we have a run play call, then we’re going to stick with that play call.”
Fields isn’t at Ben Roethlisberger status with the ability to essentially run his own offense.
