Before Arthur Smith was the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive coordinator, or even before he was the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, he made his name in the league as the OC of the Tennessee Titans. That was a physical, run-first offense that was led by All-Pro RB Derrick Henry.
The current Steelers offense is built in much the same way with Najee Harris the big-bodied running back to lead the charge.
According to The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo on X, Arthur Smith was asked about a big hit delivered by Harris at the end of one of his runs on the opening drive.
